If We can trade down one more time and get another 2017 1st rd pick on top of it I'd be hard pressed not to be overjoyed if we found a way to get Treadwell

...and two different coaches.

Is there any word on who the kickers are?

It means they have room on the roster to activate McCarron

I don't see Dalton making it through the game. We got to Luck quite a bit, Dalton got smacked around last week. Campbell is garbage.

I say bring on any team if we make the playoffs. It is win or go home for everyone - all teams must prove who they are.

Nothing groundbreaking, but this is something to consider. I think Burfict was out a few weeks ago too, but it makes me wonder about Dalton's status.

The #Bengals have activated QB AJ McCarron to the active roster and placed LB Vontaze Burfict on Injured Reserve.

With Johnny starting and the D playing at a high level (without Taylor, Hughes and Gipson - mind you) First Energy will be loud as hell. They should measure the sound levels so we can set the record.

Both got kicked out of colleges. Both got lazy running routes. Both will end up playing for 3+ teams.

Two of the last three games are against Division teams. If we win all three and the Bengals lose to the Broncos next week and the Ravens/Steelers lose another game we could win the division.

Is he sure he didn't run into Phil Taylor?

With Newton in the car wreck a little bit ago - we could see Clown Shoes return.

Who you calling a midget? Johnny is about to become an angry elf.

Manziel may not have a cannon, but his arm isn't bad. At his pro day, Kurt Warner was there doing commentary, and it was obvious he didn't show up just to gush over Manziel. He was impressed in spite of himself, though. At one point he said ""His deep balls: great touch, great trajectory. If I looked at the starting quarterbacks in the National Football League, 20 of the starting quarterbacks can't do those things."

Manziel's arm is an NFL caliber weapon. Just remains to be seen whether he can hang in, make the reads, and find the guys to throw it to...

The last part will not happen overnight. I am fully expecting more bad plays than amazing plays over his first 16-19 starts. Give him the rest of this season to get up to speed and an off-season to prep. Come in as 'the guy' next year and watch him continue to grow.

Every midget in Cleveland should hold up racial protest signs when Lewis comes to town. This is slander! This is a travesty of the highest degree and midgets everywhere must rise up and be heard. Lewis can't get away with this!

I see what you did there.

Talking shit without any real results... Typical Bungle/Bungle Fan.

If they ask Pettine about the comments on Weds I am willing to bet he will say something like this -

"Well, our backup QB led us to a win down there in Kentucky. I'm confident now that we have our starter in the lineup we will perform even better."

Take FSU's kicker in the 5th round. Worth it.

At this point we are better off losing out for draft position than trying to win three in a row (which we won't) and miss out on the playoffs anyway.
Get Amari Cooper and give Johnny another weapon next year.

Actually Pettine is the main reason we lost because he is the one who made the wrong decision on starting Hoyer over Manziel. He compounded his bad decision by leaving Hoyer in there past the second quarter.

I agree to a point. The only issue is that he would have looked uncertain of his decision and we would wonder once again who is QB next week.

Now I don't think there is a single person that would blame him for installing Manziel as starter for the rest of the season.

At this point you can't say Hoyer without including Cundiff. Both should be gone by 4:10 EST, Week 17.
