I have a hard time believing there is not another RB walking the streets who can't give you more than 1.3yards a carry.

Lat. Murry
James Robinson
Jerrick McKinnon
Melvin Gordon

All those guys are cooked but they are better than Zeke. Its just Zeke is a name who fans know and it helps sell the idea of buying tickets.

That's the motivation right there.
There's probably a guy on a practice squad somewhere that could give you better production, but that's not a known name for sellign merch and tickets

Malik Davis is 100% better than Zeke but is on the practice squad. He's an unknown so he's not gonna get those reps.

Pederson is my betting favorite but my heart wants Sirianni.

Zac Taylor should be up there aswell but he got saved by Giants being bad.
Bengals are interesting in that they are 2-4 but still have a positive point differential

The Cowboys are 3-3 but have a -42 differential

I just said this in one of my fantasy football leagues where people mentioned Dallas got stomped and wonder how I'm taking it....

"The worst thing about recognizing your team sucks when its a popular team is that you are always in the minority when it comes to knowing the truth.

You are the one who's "not a real fan" or "oh you just are a hater" etc etc. You know that these sheep are the same reason why your team sucks because they dont turn on ownership and force ownership to actually fix the issues. You are on a sinking ship but everyone else thinks it's time to drink martini's"

Super ugly Bengals win but I'll take it. D finally showed up but Oline was shit.
Hopefully this team can put a complete game together next week in Cleveland
Cleveland scares the shit out of me. They always play the Bengals tough. Probably going to be an ugly game.

Early line is CIN -4.5

I ain't touching that.

The Cowboys are an interesting fandom. There are a lot of Cowboys "fans' that i think are a fan of the image and the pop culture significance of the logo and Americas Team and all that, but not realistically of the product on the field, and they operate like it's still 1995. The way they talk you would think the Cowboys have won more than 2 playoff games in the past 30 years and are superbowl contenders every year.

It's why the Cowboys get shit on so much when they lose.

Here's something funny.

Jerod Mayo called Patriots center Ben Brown the Patriots "Best offensive lineman" in the game against the Texans.

Ben Brown had been on the team for 4 days.

It's not funny because Mayo said that. It's funny because it's probably true. He allowed no pressures during the egame and played every snap.
It's a snapshot at how bad the rest of the line is

Watson is the worst QB in the league... by a staggering amount.
Agreed.

But I can't fully express how terrible this Bengals D has looked most of the year. They are only out-garbaged by our perenially bad offensive line.

I'm not afraid of Watson. He fucking sucks. But the Browns D is legit. Which is why I think this game will be tight.

So, now that the first official coach has been fired
Whos next?

Pederson? Siriani? Stefanski? Pierce?
AP probably safe this year

Pederson and stefanski should for sure be gone (imo should've been done before this season). Siriani too, but I have a feeling they will give him at least till the end of the season to see how potential postseason goes.

You don't want to be that one team that is an outlier and allow Watson to go off for like 330 yards and 3 tds lol
