Get real. The Ravens are the OG Browns. That franchise has two Super Bowls since 1944. That's one every 40.5 years.

Fun fact-

If the Chiefs backups beat the Broncos, the Chiefs will tie the record for most regular season wins in a season, and have the opportunity to be the first team to win 19 games in a single season.

Nah you are coping, KC has only won two Superbowls in a row, they have only lost one game this season, but yet they pretend. The defense is porous, the offense stagnant, it's time for the real players to step up. Except they never do. We are all waiting and yet it does not happen.

 

[Doomsday]

I think the Ravens have always been full of shit. Yeah. They suck. They always did. But smoke that award pole. Enjoy it's girth. You need it in your life.

Serious week coming up. Broncos take an L, Bengals take the 7 spot!

 

[BruteDion]

I'll say it now. If Jerry Jones pulls a scumbag move and has Cooper Rush benched for Trey Lance so Rush does not achieve his 250k starter bonus for snaps played I'll swear off my Cowboys fandom until Jerry Jones is dead.

Hes tried to pull shady shit like that in the past during contract talks but never during a guy actually playing during the season. Rush has been there for Dallas when they needed him and he's not a very good QB but he's been a model back up QB who answer the bell when he's called to play and if Jerry Jones tries to screw him out of a quarter mil when he's so close to getting it (a contract Jerry himself wrote up) then Fuck Jerry Jones.

Not exactly.

Broncos do need to lose to the Chiefs backups, but Miami also has to lose to the fucking Jets.

Denver is favored by 10.5
Miami is only favored by 1. That's a game I'll be hammering on DK.

And the Bengals obviously need to win today at Pittsburgh - a team they lost to 44-38 just 5 weeks ago at home.

In short...The Bengals aren't going to the playoffs. The season of missed opportunity ends this weekend.

Didn't know about all that. That would be a dick move.

Money or development? Contract quirk could impact Cowboys’ Cooper Rush-Trey Lance decision

A quirk in Rush’s contract could impact which quarterback gets the primary share of snaps in Dallas’ season finale vs. Washington.

@BruteDion

If Lance gets the start, I hope he gets a non-serious injury that takes him out of this game and Cooper gets enough snaps to qualify for his $250k. Better yet, I hope he purposefully gets it.

Cooper has a degree in Actuarial Science. I don't even know what the hell that is, but let's not pretend he isn't able to calculate his bonus qualifications during the game in his head. He'll fucking know.

Scenario:
Dallas is driving for the win at the end of the game. They have the ball with 10 seconds to go on the 5 yard line, down by 5 with 2 timeouts left and Rush needs 3 more snaps to qualify for the bonus. He snaps it, takes a knee and calls a timeout. Next play he does the same thing. With one second left in the game, Cooper takes the bonus-qualifying snap and drops back to pass. Cee Dee Lamb is wide open in the end zone, but as a final "fuck you" Cooper chucks the ball towards the owner box and hits Jerry Jones in the face. All of his teammates - also sick of Jerry Jones and his bullshit - pick Cooper up and carry him off the field just like Rudy.

But unlike Rudy, Cooper wasn't offsides.

Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase closing in on triple crown

With a mildly productive game Saturday vs. Pittsburgh, Chase will become the fifth player to reach that milestone.

www.espn.com

Chase *should* lock up the triple crown this weekend.
Since the merger (1970), only 4 players have accomplished this:
Jerry Rice ('90), Sterling Sharpe ('92), Steve Smith ('05) and Cooper Kupp ('21)

Chase leads the NFL with...

• 1612 yards (133 more than 2nd place Justin Jefferson)
• 117 receptions (8 more than 2nd place Amon-Ra St Brown)
• 16 TDs (4 more than 2nd place Terry McLaurin)

Tua and Waddle are hurt, Jets get the W.

Steelers have fallen apart and Bengals are stringing it together. You don't wanna deal with Joe B when that team is on and boy are they on.

the Broncos game is the only big question mark. Im sure that second string is still trying to prove their worth, with better coaching. You never know.

I will lose my shit with happiness if my Bengals get in.
But I won't allow myself to consider it a possibility because I don't want to be let down.

This is a method of self-preservation I've developed over a lifetime of Bengals (and Reds) fandom.

I put money on Pitt ML. Bad bet?

Pitt scored 44 in Cincy a month or so ago

 

[Doomsday]

Pat is coming for bodies. He is finna fuck you up.

 

[Doomsday]

Again. Oh, and again Again. It isn't the first time, the second time or the last time.

 

[Doomsday]

Keep acting like you know better.

You've been off your meds, eh?

 

[Doomsday]

Pointing out that you need meds. You are delusional. Have been for years. I really only wish the best for you and I feel a tremendous amount of pity. Your disrespect did not go unnoticed, however.

Teams rarely run performances like that back, and Cincy has a ton to play for. I just took Pitt because they're at home and I'm hoping their defense can slow down that Cincy offense enough to pull out a close one.

Bruh...

You've never seen me out here guaranteeing super bowls... or undefeated seasons.

And you SURELY will never see me say something as retarded as 'My team is purposely having close games... they dont want to win outside of the last drive'

Like... you're saying literal insane things.

Its sad.

The test will be if Mr Unlimited can minimize mistakes.

Anyone can put up 40 on Cincy if they avoid turnovers... which sucks for Bengals fans because Burrow/Chase are having a historic season... but still may not even make the playoffs.

Its also the last year of their real window. Its not getting better. They already had to let Mixon walk. Next is Higgins. And they COMPLETELY whiffed on Burton being a Higgins replacement (didnt even travel with the team).
