RIP

Like I said, we’ll see. We appear to have gotten a new GM, or at least new behavior by the old GM, as far as FA is concerned, so that’s a positive. Hopefully that continues through the draft. But of course this just put the onus even more squarely on the coaches. It appears they will be denied nothing and so have no excuses.

Free agents are excited about money, which the Bengals have decided to actually spend this year.

Imo it’s all just a function of there being nothing to talk about. Everything regarding the draft now is just rage clickbait, and suggesting the Bengals trade the first overall or take someone other than Burrow is the easiest possible way to generate that outrage and those clicks.

This is the point where we part. I don’t care about position, I’m taking the best available.

I think that was part of the deal, but 2020, assuming it happens, will still be 16 games. Just with the extra 2 playoff games.

Agree with the average starter comment. My biggest, well, not quite gripe but head-scratcher is that they decide to swap Dre for Trae, the latter basically being a slightly younger version of the former. Which is a sort of improvement, I guess. But also a sort of deck chair shuffling. Just have to see if it works out.

Interesting note.

let the haters rejoice

The more mocks I look at the more appealing a trade down becomes. I don’t think it will happen because someone almost always falls unexpectedly, but if things go more or less as seems to be expected, I’m just not that awed with the choices at 33. In that case I hope they can drop down and pick up an extra 4th.

Lol yeah the flower thing will be happening for me soon. Was supposed to be this weekend but it rained. As soon as we get some good weather tho she’ll be coming home with flats of plants. She is actually perfectly happy to dig and plant herself, but this also includes new topsoil in spots and acres of mulch, so I have to preposition a couple dozen 50 pound bags of dirt and mulch all around the house. Normally I’d complain but my wife works retail and I’m just happy for every day she doesn’t come home sick.

I’m loving it. I do get out for about an hour a day to walk the dogs. We have big county parks nearby, you could hold Woodstock in them and keep everyone 10 feet apart.
