Johnny Nix Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) Its that time of the year again... where all of America is glued to their TV screens for action packed entertainment. No, I am not talking about shark week... this is CARP week. Dictionary.com defines CARP as the following: a large freshwater cyprinid fish, Cyprinus carpio, native to Asia but widely introduced in tropical and temperate waters: an important food fish in many countries. Footballsfuture defines CARP as: The merger of the Bengals and Browns, to overcome all curses and blunder of our histories, to create a one Ohio team, unstoppable in all phases. There was a time, long ago, when the prophecy was first spoken. Men and women on this forum did not know how to handle such an incredible idea. Steelers fans mocked, Ravens fans sneered... how could two Ohio teams ever find common ground and love. Thus, the idea of CARP was born. Forum elders still tell tales of AJ Green lining up alongside Jarvis Landry, of the three headed rushing attack in Chubb, Hunt, and Mixon, of the defense that would still probably suck, but would be OH so much better. Tonight, these two teams face again, ready to remind fans of what could be. Questions will arise, laughter might ensue, but the hope remains... that one day... Ohio will be one... The Columbus CARP Sit down with your children. Teach them why its important to have a RT not named Bobby Hart protecting their franchise QB. Explain to them why the Browns never invest in Linebackers. Pray together that each QB will live to see tomorrow. While the playoffs may be but another dream for both these teams, another dream awaits on the horizon. CARP. CARP....... CARP We are CARP. We are many.

MWil23 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Good morning. Good morning. In less than an hour aircrafts from here will join others from around the world and you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. Mankind, that word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can’t be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it’s fate that today is the 4th of July and you will once again be fighting for our freedom not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution but from annihilation. We’re fighting for our right to live, to exist, and should we win today the 4th of July will no longer be known as an American President holiday but is the day when the world declared in one voice, “We will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish without a fight. We’re going to live on. We’re going to survive. Today we celebrate our Independence Day!” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFlaccoSeagulls Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I'm actually excited to see Jessie Bates play. Just saw this quick twitter gif of his range last week and, wow, that's Ed Reed-esque stuff from a pure range perspective. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had some questionable penalties on him, but it looks like hes taken a step this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawgX Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 If that many OL don't play then we might as well forfeit. 😒 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Bengals 23-20 in a sloppy boring game. No confidence on that one though, basically a coin flip game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chargers Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Browns I think are gonna surprise people and actually win this one. This Bengals team OL is still trying to figure things out. Baker has to be able to do better against this defense than Ravens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
