If someone said that to a customer to their face at work, they would probably get fired. I do agree that "we" get go overboard, but it is their job to satisfy their fan base and a big part of it is fantasy football. If it wasn't fantasy football no one would care about backup RBs like Bernard. Sure - I agree for the most part that it's their job to report team news but there is also a way to ask as well, referring to Ben Baby's tweet about some manners from random strangers hassling him for information he doesn't have. Customer service or not, there's a certain way to approach someone if you're asking for information. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Even if it’s minor, sounds like Mixon would miss at least a few weeks. What are these signs you speak of? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ffluser2008 9 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 They surely had the MRI results no later than sometime Tuesday. All strange, even without an official announcement from the team a good aggressive beat reporter would at least have a source within the team. Even just an anticipating good or bad results, or whatever ..... I had/have Chubb and Sutton in other leagues and early inside info from beat reporters on both was spot on (unfortunately) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

All we know is after he sustained the injury he went back in the game for 2nd half, he wasn’t used in hurry up because Giovani is 100x better then Mixon obviously 🙄, he went in for a MRI, and he was standing in a hoodie during practice. Is this because they play a division foe this weekend? And won’t release the results. Really weird. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

smeeze 6,086 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Random Browns fans on twitter and Browns beat writers reporting it before the Bengals beats. Embarrassing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jubanton 345 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 This is not trending well. Clearly the Bengals' beat writers are as bad as the offensive line. Schefty will probably reporting some breaking news by mid afternoon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol...that’s exactly what everyone said yesterday. We’re now 3 days since his MRI with not a single update, and 2 days of missing practice. Not sure I’d categorize this as “all good”. If you don’t already have Gio, I hope it’s not too late for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ludawg23 1,982 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 The only positive thing to go off of is that Mixon will usually play if he can go. Looking at his track record, he seems to always have some type of minor injury where he will not practice most of the week and then he will end up playing. Hopefully it is that but for most guys, missing two consecutive days is usually bad for their availability come Sunday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harck 478 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 If Mixon can barely produce behind that Bengals O-line (who arguably is a top 3 RB talent in the league stuck in one of the worst RB situations), I'm absolutely terrified at the stat lines Gio will put up lol.

Silent-Trader 403 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 They change their scheme when Bernard is in there. It's usually a lot of a dink and dunk passes to offset the lack of running. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Proto24 213 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I just can’t believe we don’t know what the injury is yet. Foot is so vague Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mulhollandvelvet 997 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Yeah he's gonna miss a few games at the very least. This is shaping up to be rough. I don't know that Gio is really all that worth grabbing though. He's what? A low end FLEX at best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
griffin727 950 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Well the Bengals play the next two games and then a bye. So if it's actually something that's going to sideline him I'd assume that's what we're looking at. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aapox 896 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Why are so many people saying he's going to 'miss games' when there's absolutely no solid evidence of that? Is this a setting expectations to avoid disappointment thing? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
