    Isn't that how the Steelers drafted Bradshaw?

    You gotta suck for a QB like Burrow to drop in your lap. We haven’t sucked since we drafted Ben at 11. Congrats to the Bengals. Their fans deserve it.

    I wouldn't root for anyone who wouldn't root for us. You really think they'd wish us well if we were in their shoes? JMO>

    Given how much cap room they ended up having, they could have signed both.

    They have more of a running game because defenses have to respect their down-field passing game, something they don't have to do against the Steelers. The Bengals' line stinks. It hasn't slowed Burrow down much at all.

    Plenty of perennial losers don't take advantage of the high draft picks. Yes, the Bengals got a huge break when Burrow fell into thelr laps, but they have done a decent job building around him.

    Isn't it just Stafford, Ramsey and Von Miller?

    I have no problem with the Rams approach... it worked for today... im interested to see the next few years and how it does for them without those #1s

    It has usually been between the Ravens and Steelers wishing the other well and to go win it all. Why wouldn’t it be the same with the Bengals. We are in the best division in the NFL. We haven’t been as lucky as the Patriots the last 20 years where they had 6 practice games built into their schedule every year.

    Because they didn’t find the QB. I’ve seen all those teams put talent on their team, it’s not hard when you pick high every year.

    Tell that to the Lions, who had a hell of a quarterback in Stafford.

    All those teams have had talent, JJ Watt, Ramsey, Garret, Megatron. Obviously there has been more than that. Jaguars at one point were loaded but had no QB.

    Bingo on this.



    Owners of these teams play far bigger of a role than others are willing to admit. From Stephen Ross to Shahid Kahn, meddling in such success sets back teams for years; decades even in the case of the Bears, Lions, Raiders, etc.



    For that matter, I hope Trevor Lawrence does demand a trade if Trent Baalke returns. How on Earth could he go through that hellish experience again and not feel frustration is something I truly do not have the foggiest.

    Not really.


    Odell Beckham Jr and Leonard Floyd both play a much bigger role than others realize; particularly in OBJ's case. The biggest fish though are the ones you mention but do not discount the likes of Floyd or OBJ either.

    Congratulations to the Bengals on making the Superbowl. 3 decades of sucking finally paid off. ;) Honestly, well played and well fought all year. That Burrow is going to be a problem for a long time.

    That's as magnanimous as I can get with them. Go Rams.

    A lot of that cap room wasn't freed up until well after the draft. Hilton signed early in the pre-draft free agency period.

    Also, that was a lot of money for a slot corner, even though the Steelers have a lot of cap room it does not come close to what the Bengals have. It was a luxury they could afford, the Steelers could not.

    I was not including them as they are just free agents... not trades... anyone can sign free agents and do every year

    Last years Tsmpa Team had more mercenaries IMO

    Right. Like they lost in Tennessee and in Kansas City. They may lose but it's 50/50 as far as I'm concern. And I trust Joe Burrow a hell of a lot more than Stafford or McVay coaching.

    That Rams front will likely be the MVPs if the Rams win. If they don't have pressure on Burrow for 60 min, the Bengals will win the Super Bowl. It's that simple.

    who cares Chiefs fans are obnoxious. I hope they and the Mahomes family sit around pouring champagne of tears on each other all off season while that weird boy twerks in the background.

    Bengals just showed the Steelers how to adjust in a game. Don’t think we have seen that for 11 years
