theJ Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I'm sure most have seen this already, but here it is anyway. They were already going to lose the NO game, so as long as he's back for the Ravens game they may be ok. But if he misses Baltimore, or even the following week at the Browns, the team could be looking at 5-5, or 5-6 pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Nix Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Unfortunately this team isn’t doing anything even if they squeak into the playoffs, unless the defense turns things around. Just gotta win the games we are supposed to win and hopefully AJ isn’t out long. Next week is gonna be ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with that, but i'd still like to see them get there. I don't think they'll win a playoff game, but i think another one and done probably means Marvin is gone (hopefully). And for this young team to get to the playoffs will help with confidence going into next year. So i hope AJ isn't out long, because i don't see them beating the Ravens without him. Even as sad sack as they are right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJ Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 If AJ is out though, we better lots of 2 RB sets with Gio and Mixon at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty obvious that Cody Core isn't going to cut it. John Ross is just a decoy. So you need someone on the outside that can maybe make a play with Tyler Boyd. I'd either throw him out there, or Josh Malone (probably Malone first). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The usage or lack thereof for Malone this season has been odd to say the least. Malone and Tate from what we've seen previously should be the guys getting offensive snaps over Cody Core, but the Bengals seem committed to playing Core over them...

Yeah it's strange to me that they play all preseason over Core and play well, then the regular season rolls around and they're not involved at all.

A lot of it I think goes back to "Marvin will play the guys who have been in the system longer". Young guys make mistakes because they don't know the playbook well enough, and they don't get snaps. Other players either suck, or drop passes but because they ran the right route, Marvin will continually keep giving them snaps. Marvin is all about mediocrity ball...

Probably. So yeah, on IR as soon as they lose 3 straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
