  1. We will hope to see MULTIPLE MULTIPLE moves made they need to reach across the table and get DT and at the very least a RB or CB something IF IT MEANS ANYTHING AT ALL COME ON PROVE THIS TEAM MEANS SOMETHING!!!!!😮😮

  2. Rember guys we lost 7 games the year we went to the superbowl. So dont be so quick to over pay a guy. Thats what sucks about mid season trades they cost you way more than during the offseason.

  3. I thought Charlie Jones was supposed to be groomed to be a replacement for Boyd. I agree perhaps another RB and a DT. Thats who i would target. Clyde Helaire outside of a few flashes his first year what has he done? Nothing and thats why he rides the pine in KC. Zac drafted these guys now he needs to use them and if need be guys like Burton need a "come to Jesus moment" otherwise just another wasted draft pick. Erick All injured imagine that and a knee to boot., DE??? what about Myles Murphy and a couple other DE that we have. How are those picks working out? Anarumo needs to figure out the defense and make it better with what he has.
    I would say this, if Gesicki can play at a high level he can be the third option for Burrow. When's the last time we had a threat at TE? It was the guy who left after the Super Bowl year and went to the Jets.

  4. Didn't they say they weren't doing anything a few days ago? They won't do anything. At all. Nothing. Of course they Should. But they won't. And we all know they won't.

  5. Why is tight end even mentioned. Gesicki and sample are a good enough duo we can win with. We need PASS RUSH. When Hendrickson can’t abuse backup tackles, we lose! A better pass rush will also help the secondary. I guess we also need a rb as well now but edge is priority #1 because if we don’t upgrade that the team is cooked anyway

  6. The worst part about the first Ravens loss is that the Bengals are all but guaranteed to have to play a third game against the Ravens to advance in the playoffs, even if they pull off a win on Thursday, so multiple moves before the trade deadline should absolutely be a top priority.

  7. Is Myles Murphy on this team? 😂😂😂😂 terrible first round pick it’s a BUST. If you want great players, draft all SEC players rest of these leagues are pretenders as far as good players concerned 💯💯💯💯

  8. Green bay has a couple good TEs we could go after but we need a DE. Starts there n will help the corners we have. Could you imagine someone like crosby opposite hendrickson? We really missed out on Derrick henry. He wouldnt have gog flatlined like treyneon did on that play he blocked for burrow. Plus ge went to 5ge fuckin ravens and zack moss is just a waste of resources and snaps. Enter zack moss into whatever trade we make. Zack moss, a 4th rounder and tanner hudson for crosby or reddick. We arre in good with titans head coach to so who might they have of interest. They do have sneed dont they? And they are in rebuild

  9. Adding defense would have to be a ROAS the board. Adding one or two will not help. The long ball defense is horrible. Even the short ball is horrible. We give up both in BIG moments on the field almost every time. I suggest focusing on next year and wrap the year up. Who stays and who goes who will be here no matter what next year? This year is done and over. Too much slack on the defensive end. That’s with one of the best d coaches in the league. Offense is fine. Don’t change anything. Keep T and pay him what ever. Joe B needs to take a loss in his pay and add too the defense side of things.

  10. Ojilari makes some noise, but not as many plays… but it's probably still an upgrade at what we have… We have 4 other total TE's… Get a darn RB… Why are you always mentioning some washed 30 something wr… Kupp was a no go as well… There are players we could get but we should give up on Burton… People don't recall Chris Henry had issues and turned out fine… I'm not concerned about him… We need some interior oline support as well.. Joe can cook if protected…

  11. I was hoping they’d get Calais Campbell in the offseason. I would also be open to a running back. Trayveon Williams looked good in preseason, but we are too thin there now that Moss is out. I wouldn’t bother getting another TE. Between Gesicki, Sample, Hudson, and MacLaughlin, we have enough talent. None will bring what All brought, but they went to a Super Bowl without him, so they should be able make do with what they have.
