Joe doesn’t have feeling in his throwing hand every now and then. Certainly that’s no big deal. Wouldn’t worry me for a second if I were a gals fan!

What's Jon Kitna up to these days?

Maybe his hand is cold?

I don't have feeling in my third hand every now and then. It's why it takes me so damn long to get gooey sometimes.

Uh oh. Chad Johnson thinks Chase is gonna pull a Chris Jones and sit out until he gets paid

Manning had to wear gloves due to neurological issues after multiple neck surgeries.

I'm sure Glass Joe is fine, though.

Whenever he throws a pick, we shall deem said pick “The Stranger”.

You're welcome.

There is no chance in hell they come to KC and Chase isn't playing. He will get paid big before that happens.

Seems like the Bengals should want to get this done with 2 cheap years left on the rookie contract. Pretty weird that the owner wants to wait until next year.

They are probably just waiting to see if Burrow survives the season. If his wrist/hand falls off they’ll just trade everyone and start over.

That and Mike Brown is a cash poor cheapskate.

Their owner doesn't have the competitive fire any of the players do. He'd take an L in KC 100/100 before giving anyone a nickel more than he has to.

Akili Smith is only 48 and is free too.

$65 million for Burrow this year. Owner might be wanting to wait until Burrow’s cash drops to $30 million next year, which could make it easier for the owner to deal with Ja’Marr Chase.

Never heard of Mike Brown?

Now this guy knows Mike Brown.

Take a bow rfaulk, those two posts in a row 👏 ROFL

How do people even doubt me anymore? ROFL It's hilarious

This. He has to escrow guaranteed money.

You're so predictable. ROFL

That's yesterday's news. He was back on point today.

Are you trying to make this easy?

Honest question - any concern at this point?

Nah. Only because they wouldn't have him out there if he was in any discomfort.

Most non-Bengals fans won't care about this next bit so you can just check out right here. For those interested, read on.

That whole thing with Rapien and Pike reporting yesterday was a big nothingburger. So Burrow flexed his hand and looked at it. Duh, he had surgery on it a few months ago and he's been throwing a football every day for the last couple weeks. He's only sat out 1 practice in the entire training camp. Every practice he throws the equivalent of an NFL game, several times a week. People took what they said and blew it way out of proportion.

The glove was used between plays to create a littel moisture on his hand (sweat) because it was a very dry, windy day and he was back out there today in a joint practice with the Colts, throwing and acting just fine. He's done the thing with the glove before (between plays), but no one wants to hear that.



All that bullshit (see: Stephania Bell) about the cumulative effect as games wear on is Captain Obvious shit and it's all speculative as there's no precedence with a QB. He had surgery on a hand ligament, of course there's going to be concern as the throws build up and he has to brace himself every time he goes to the ground. What negates that is the suregeon that fixed his hand has cleared him to play QB in the NFL. The doctors/training staff on the Bengals have cleared him to play QB in the NFL. The coaching staff has cleared him to practice every day but one during training camp.

Every single person involved in his rehab and his every day activity will be monitoring to see if/how much discomfort he has on a daily basis and adjust his work accordingly.

And lastly (finally, right?) Burrow has already said he's at the point in his career where he listens to his body more than he used to, and doesn't try and push through tweaks and strains like he did when he was younger. He knows, more than anyone, he's missed big parts of 2 of his 4 seasons so he needs to be careful not to screw his wrist up.

There's always a chance he could screw his wrist up...or any part of his body for that matter, at any point in time. Just like any other NFL player.

Oh.

My best guess is the Bengals finish second in their division this year. A dangerous-ish wild card because they have a QB. Unless Chase really does hold out then they finish third. Maybe fourth.

The defense will be better this year. Bengals will be Kings of the North again.

I see the disclaimers you threw in just in case I'm right ROFL

We shall see with old Joe. Big year for him and the pressure is on to play great and stay healthy. Team will be changing next year. Can't pay everyone.

Carly Simon wrote a song about you.

That last line (the entire post, actually) was for people like Bell and the media, not you. You just throw shit on the wall to see what sticks and then ignore the posts that show how you are wrong.

Don't worry. I see you.

You've never been right about anything though.

Trust the pasta.

The last time he was wrong was probably 10 years ago

Sounds about right.

What a THROW! So impressed by a 6’4 WR having to climb the ladder to catch that over a 5’9 NB.

I know we like to create bulletin board material but none of the words we've used against Cincinnati have ever come from Burrow himself. He himself has been class act when asked about the Chiefs or comparisons to Patrick. He went on Kelce's podcast in Ohio. He throws a few good natured competitive jabs at us during the right times. Largely, my dislike of him has waned quite a bit. He's just in a town that has been without a lot of Super Bowl success for a large amount of years, just like us prior to 2019. This can all change with a few bad incidents but I've had decent interactions with Cinci fans at Arrowhead.

Try no SB success. Bengals have 0 SB trophies.

maybe he's making a michael jackson reference that you have to be at least 20% schizophrenic to figure out

he would probably be my favorite non Mahomes QB if he was in the NFC but he isn't so I hate him

Jumpball Joe

BURROWHEAD: Bengals talking a lot of sh1ttttt
 

Jump ball Joe back in action.

Clips like this are a little annoying. All we really can see is that Burrow threw a pass to Higgins; we can't see the route or the timing or anything of value, really. I can guess that it was a timing route, and it seems like it was a well-timed and placed pass, but I don't know that for certain. Just would be nice to get a wider view, so we could see the entire play.

MFing beat me to it.

The only thing you really need to take from that is, it was the day after the silly "report" and he snapped that ball off just fine in just the right spot. That's not something he does if he's having trouble with the wrist.

Guys like Pasta aren't smart enough and don't have the eye for details like that.

Relax, today is national Michael Jackson day. The glove is an homage to the king of pop / probably

Anybody else think that since he bleached his hair he looks like Draco from Harry Potter?

Mike Brown likes to live 10 to 20 years in the past.

And he's a dumbass.

If Chase sits and they lose to the sorry ass Patriots I will laugh for a week.

I was going to ask how the Brown family stacks up in cash versus the league average for an owner. Even Clark, whose franchise ranks second in value behind the Wallyworld Donkeys, would jump on this deal in a second, because he'd be dumb not to.


I'll admit I chuckled at reading this from the article -

Cleveland finally has something to celebrate!

Here you go Bowser, you lazy bastard -

Mike Brown is an idiot.

All you need to know is that he has INSANE ACCURACY! INSANE I TELL YOU!!!

Brown remembers when tennis shoes were for the gym only. So he is progressing nicely

Chase is doing what Jones did. He'll take the week off, make a spectacle of himself - then return against us week two.

And no...the Bangles don't need Chase to beat the sorry ass Patriots.

The bungles have a history of starting off slow. I wouldn't be shocked if the pats pull off the upset.

True, but this Pats team is beyond terrible.

My Bengals GDT next week will be glorious

We started the Crows out 0-1 for you, rfaulk. You're welcome.

Oh! I like it. We can call Likely's non-catch in the back of the end zone the Crow Hop.

Higgins isn't practicing today.

There's a very good chance the Bengals will be the only team that wins in the AFC North this weekend. They get a free "better than a bye" week against the Patriots. Steelers have what would seem like a tough matchup with the Falcons, and the Browns are playing the Cowboys.

Dude is always hurt I'm so glad I didn't draft him this year.

I don't know if "better than a bye" exists when your qb is made of glass.

LOL what a dipshit.

Hot damn that wrist looks cooked. Imagine that! Bengals defense soft? Imagine that! O Line still garbage? Imagine that! Rfaulk?

Burrow gets the ball back with 3:30 in the game and goes 1-3 for 5 yards.

We were looking past the Patriots to the Chiefs. Nothing to worry about, here.

Wow a whole 10-pts scored by the Bengals today. So impressive!
