It would be fun watching Winston throw to those receivers. What about Cousins?

Aren't the Bengals in a really bad spot capwise? I'm not sure they can afford to bring in an expensive QB contract (not that Jameis is too expensive, but Cousin wouldn't fit)

I think after Kirk got hurt last year, he hasn't been the same and I don't think it would be a right move money wise either.

I would agree. I think Jameis is the right fit for the Bengals but Mike Brown hates opening up his check book or even to make a much needed move to improve the team. Hate to say it....Browning isn't the guy!

Giants fan here seasons over again September. 12 years of bad gm’s and coaches and a really nice but incompetent owner. We desperately need a good GM.

Dumbest move you guys did this past offseason was to sign Russel Wilson. He is a washed up joke.

Yeah, think old Russ was supposed to be the great veteran advisor to get Dart ready for next year. But he's trashed. Will see how Dart does this week.
And whoever plays Winston has to be prepared for him to make some great throws....to the other team as well.

And the dumbest move last season was to part ways with Saquon. At least the Giants have some super bowl wins unlike my team.

JMcLellan · 09-29-2025, 02:35 PM

I watched that entire GB vs Dallas game last night only to see it end in a tie. I know that ties dont happen that often but how unsatisfying? I say the NFL figure out a way to avoid ties in the regular season.

eliphil · 09-29-2025, 05:46 PM

At least it was an exciting game. The NFL has to many flags and to much offense.

Picking ties is not even an option in most football pools.

My $0.02 is to skip the whole overtime thing, and go straight to a special teams field goal shootout. First try is both teams for a 35-yard field goal (extra point distance) in the same direction. If both make it, then step back another 5 yards and try again until one team misses and the other one makes it. If they both miss, step forward and try again until a winner is determined.....

Or how about the Dr. Pepper Challenge, put the box on the goal line with the small circle and let the QB's throw balls into it.

You ain't kidding. I had to turn it off at halftime. They look absoluetly deflated and not wanting to be there. Joe was supposed to carry them to the promise land but ended up getting hurt and now the team looks like they are just going through the motions. Jake Browning is a joke. I hope they bring in a better QB this week. They need it.

The Bungles play the Lions at home this Sunday. It will be 40-0 by half. Thank goodness I have Goff and David Montgomery on my Fantasy Team. Hoping they can put up some serious numbers for me!

I think that a tie-breaker should be implemented using something that every team practices, not a circus stunt. Plus, it's a team sport, and special teams plays give some of the bench-warmers a shot at winning the game instead of a QB that's already in the limelight. The game is called FOOTball in the USA, and letting kickers decide the outcome of a tie seems fair.

The NFL should take a few lessons from FIFA. One of them is relegation, so the Tennessee Titans could be thrown out of the league at the end of this season and replaced by some flag football team to keep the league competitive.....

MoeTE87 · 10-02-2025, 09:16 AM

Bengals need to make a move for a veteran QB asap! I bet they are playing for their place in the draft next year, which is sad and horrible.

Fire the HC and OLine coach.

vreihen16 · 10-05-2025, 03:41 PM

Do they not coach common sense in the NFL any more? Fourth down and long, Giants drop back to pass at mid-field, Saints defense picks off pass around 10 yard line. Player goes off celebrating interception, replay shows clean pick, announcers all gush over his play. If that defender would have batted the ball down instead since it was fourth down, the Saints would have gotten the ball at mid-field and not backed up to their end zone.....

The Giants need to start over w a new coach and gm

I don't think that it will happen mid-season, since the owner was just diagnosed with cancer and will surely be focused on that for a few months.....

HTTR. What a difference new ownership has made.
