Because ChatGPT was who created the schedule and pushed NY.
Wait until next year when AI takes over the schedule making and the Arizona Cardinals end up with 9 primetime games
3rd year in a row being 5-4
Bengals are 7-1 when either Tee Higgins or JaMarr Chase miss a game, ergo the bengals are better when they are missing one of them
For history sake
Joe Burrow without Tee Higgins 3-0
Joe Burrow without JaMarr Chase 3-1
Worst case scenario, we have Charlie Jones coming back and Iosivas has been ok.
UGH, gonna need an even bigger running game and TE play
A QB got drafted once who never actually started a college game.
apparently his knee was blown up before he ever stepped on the field as a bengal. ticking time bomb, but the bengals didn’t look at his knees before they traded up and drafted him
his second season he got injured in game one
third season, he showed his true talent, in only 13 games he had 52 catches for 13 TDs, over half of Dalton’s total passing Tds that year.
Safe to say if he gets a healthier career, he’s probably still playing and producing big numbers. He was special. so many freak injuries and dirty hits on him
I’ll add a couple more
Odell Thurman - dude was all world in his only year in the NFL, looked like the next elite LB and never played another season because he was stupid.
David Pollack - looked like he was a pure playmaker after his rookie year. He was very good in the playoff game against the steelers. Gets a bone in his neck broken first game of his second season, never plays a down again.
We lost two great defenders at the same time of Palmer’s injury, that felt like a curse
It usually comes down to rings. If they’ve got one, its the 3000 hit club for baseball level.
Lack of ring has kept Ken Anderson out and I absolutely think Rivers is HOF level but some are gonna hold that against him
First non primetime Bengals game I’ve gotten this season and one of those primetime games was the “other MNF” on Espn Ocho or some shit.
Welp this explains the Bengals tight end room being terrible
