What do you guys think about the game tonight?

Bengals are 7.5 favorites at home against the Jags. This feels like a Bengals blowout

This is actually a Thursday night game I like. The last 2 #1 picks going at it. Starting to see some positive flashes with this young Bengals team.

Why did Jax gut the team from a few years ago? I still never understood that. One game away from the SB

SBNation did a video on it that's pretty good:



As someone who watched in real time, Poluszny retiring did a number on the team from a chemistry standpoint, plus we were never able to replace him as a run stopper

Plus, one of the big reasons we were so good in 2017 is, really nobody got injured, and while we didn't have a ton of injuries afterwards, a regular amount was enough to bring us back down to earth. Then guys started wanting to get paid, and we had to make some tough decisions. Coupled with regression from some of our older guys, and once Ramsay decided he was out, that was it

Also, we just really haven't drafted well outside of 2016 and a couple mid round picks here and there.

I love James Robinson

Sure would be stupid if the Jags drafted a running back in the first when we already have him on the roster.

You guys had one of the most dominant defenses I've ever seen. I'll never forgot watching one of the London games...I woke up @ 6am local to watch b/c I had your fantasy defense. They put up like 35 pts lol. I forget who ya'll were playing but it was ridiculous every game

Ramsey went full diva. They also had a few aging vets. If they had a legit QB instead of Bortles, they could have had a nice run.

In the pool I thought it was a tough one but took the Jags +7.5. I just felt that maybe being 0-3 they will play a tough game and really feel they need a win. The Bengals had looked pretty good though so it was a tough pick.

What's up with your avatar? I think being that it's the NFL season you should put up a Seahawks avatar. Here is a good one.

Like the decision to go for it

Hate the play call, though.

I hope that call doesn't hurt the jags. I did have the Bengals to win originally.
Where the offseason has more buzz happens.
