| @MikeGarafolo The #Bengals are planning to start QB Brandon Allen on Sunday vs. the #Giants, according to sources. Allen was on the practice squad until the other day when he replaced Joe Burrow on the roster. Ryan Finley, who came in for Burrow against #WashingtonFootball Team, will back up. |
Gallman and Jones should have big days.
I agree....I thought he would be a decent pro...this move obviously does not bode well for him.
"Should" is the operative word. But it's pretty easy to envision a loss against the lowly Bengals.
39/84 (46.4%)
515 Yards
3 TDs 2 INTs
Sacked 9 times
Allen made his first career start for the Broncos vs the Browns in Week 9 of 2019, a 24-19 Broncos win.

I wonder if this might not be out of the realm of possibility. If Burrow is so messed up that he might miss 2021 or never be the same, go draft another QB high. And trade one of them in 2022 if Burrow is healthy.

I'm somewhat confident but I remember that Niners game and I'm less confident.
This is often said but not borne out by recent history.
The 5-11 2018 Giants went 4-0 vs backup QBs.
When a reporter pointed that out to DG in his post-season PC, he pitched a fit, calling the question "offensive."
Giants should win this. Defense should hold them and offense runs the ball. No stupid turnovers.

The Giants have been favorites since the line opened. When it came out, they were -4 or -5 depending on which sportsbook you looked at
A theme that had some merit well over a decade ago.
However, in the last 3 years teams with back-up QBs have made up the majority of NYG wins.
Kind of a "sweet-spot" during the DG reign. :-)

Yeah, Burrow was clearly out by the time the books opened but there was a lookahead line before that which indicated the bengals would have been favorites had he been healthy.

Not true. They were 2.5 underdogs per oddsshark history, which is very reliable.

Those opening lines were from last week before the Burrow injury. When they opened on Sunday the Giants have always been favored

So did many on BBI while they were having their post draft meltdowns that season
Not what I saw. They were -3 vs Bengals..

And Daniel Jeremiah said he would be a better pro than Daniel Jones. Good call dummy.

Whoa, let's not exagerrate this one into Jupiter.
Lots of folks were pissed the Giants drafted Jones 6th overall, plent of folks pissed they drafted Jones in round 1, and some folks pissed they drafted Jones at all, over Haskins and Lock, including me.
But I don't recall ANYONE (well, maybe one) saying they should draft Finley over Jones. Well, I guess other than Jeremiah...
Guy looks totally lost.

was a guy I thought would be a decent pro. He has looked terrible. Must really be terrible to replace him with a practice squad player.

I was on that bandwagon as well. He was on my radar as a potential Day 2 selection if they didn't go QB in round one.

Was just responding to this. Sarcastically too I should add though I should have done a better job.

Your memory sucks. There was absolutely posters on this board that were saying that Finley would be the better pro than Jones and THAT was what was driving their hatred for the Jones pick at 6. Could have had Finley much later they said. You are a November 2020 register. That would explain why you don’t remember, huh? Unless of course you are a dupe?
The Bengals have won 2.5 gammes, which are about 2.5 games too many to get Trevor Lawrence.
All that being said, I think it will take multiple turnovers to lose this game, which is always possible.
I would love to see a breakout game from the offense this week, can they do it?
Wow. Is that true? UFB.
Guy looks totally lost.
I liked Finley too, but more as a career journeyman type. Pretty surprised he may not even be that, same with Grier.

This blows my mind, but I could see how stylistically they are tough for us with Burrow at the helm. I'd still thought we would be favored because we are going to buttfuck them on offense. Next few weeks should be fun watching us impose our will on defenses. We have a very big offensive line.
I just laid the 5.5 before that gets up to a TD. I guarantee that will be 6.5 by gameday.
Why wouldn't I? It's an opinion site and I gave my opinion. Should I be ashamed?
Same with Fields. I like watching him play and think he's got the goods to work in the NFL.
Or should I sit on the sidelines and wait to see what everyone else thinks? And then jump on that bandwagon?

You have never done that here or away from BBI. You should suddenly start now?
