So I took Ahmmon Richards' advice and watched the "SkyCast''...

The Bengals at the time had one of the better offenses around with Boomer and Sam Wyche. People forget but Sam was Bill Walsh's OC for those early Niner teams.

I forget what they called that offense in Cincy, but it was a good offense.

Sam did come from the Bill Walsh tree, one of the best football trees arguably ever. Esiason was a better than average QB, those Bengals were an average team overall, had that special year, the whole Ickey shuffle thing, and all that. But overall those teams were ok, its why I said Eddie had a solid NFL career that would have been even better had he landed onto a team that was consistently good, considering that there was no free agency back then so if you were good you were pretty much locked into that team for the majority of your career.

@k9cane I haven’t watched the sky cast but how do did our secondary hold up in coverage despite the wind and Reed’s inaccuracy?

Nobody likes Lamar Thomas anymore?

Excuse me

I tell Clifton Abraham hello baby and bye baby

it used to hack off Wyche that everyone gave credit to the Bills and the K-Gun for being no-huddle hurry-up in the NFL, when they were actually doing it for a few years prior

He would say, ''yeah, they invented it -- after we did."

Eddie was the man before all of our great WRs. I still have his bengals RC when he was sitting on the bench

Those bengal squads were very good and being a miner Joe Montana fan I got to see a few times they played. They were deadly with boomer

Boomers play-action game was elite. Guy was a magician with that ball. I still think Eddie was the best athlete we've ever had at WR and best after the catch

They had one bust on the Craver deep shot. Other than that, I thought they were as good as can be expected. Concepcion was contained for the most part. And this was without Damari Brown

He was awesome with that ball in his hands. He was old school used to put it one hand away from his body

He was also one of the last WRs here to use a 3 pt stance on the outside too lolol

Our receivers being in that track stance was a Gary Stevens staple!! We need to bring that back!!

If our guys played like those guys he’ll yea

Stevens was trending setting with his pro offense at the college level in those days

That was always the secret sauce of our teams back in the day….amazing athletes who were in prime shape and trend setting offense and defensive systems
