Stripes

Useless angles on the broadcast. Can’t see the ball.

Two straight stops. Helluva job, D.

Nice. Spam up Joe’s MVP stats.

Absolutely love hearing TEEEEEE that loudly in Spain.

Good hold.

Nothing to showcase our game to the world like 83 flags

Too much close but no cigar pass rush. Finish.

Stefanski will spam outside runs until you stop it.

Joe and Ja’Marr are pretty good.

That couldn’t have been easier. Al Golden is this team’s biggest problem.

I am only just now discovering that Andy Dalton has the Atlanta Falcons having fun and playing together. His blindingly red hair is unmistakable.

The field appears to be in crap shape for an NFL game. Top prep work as always by the league.

If there's a trade, I'd most like to see safety (e.g., Budda Baker) or linebacker (e.g., Zach Baun). I think those deals are achievable at reasonable compensation. I would normally say the Bengals would never bother, but I'll give them a chance. They traded for Flacco in 2025, and they traded for Lawrence in the offseason. If they wish to remain internally consistent with a win now process, then shoring up current holes is more important than retaining draft capital. They'll probably get a 3rd round compensatory pick for Trey anyway.

While we clown Baltimore, I suppose we must also applaud Duke. It seems he dropped Trey at just the right time and managed to upgrade the position with Mafe. I'll still be screaming to Fire Everyone if we play like shit, so don't get cocky motherfucker.

My best option might be ihop. I’m sure the 80 year old women enjoying their breakfast will appreciate my screaming.

I guess I'd better figure out how I am going to watch this game. BW3s ain't open at 7:30 AM MST.

I do think Atlanta's struggles against the run last week were as much about the unique elements of that game as they were about Atlanta's defense (same elements that led to zero Mayfield completions). Still, the Bengals are 30th in rushing yards per game, and they're going to need to demonstrate they can do better than that as the months get colder. Might as well give it a shot this week.

Burrow has lobbied pretty hard for a few years for the Bengals to get an international game. I expect him to treat this as a ~Big Game~. I don't know if that will extend to everyone else, but I like their chances. Just as they tend to play down to their competition, they tend to rise in big games. The Falcons don't represent that kind of opposition, but a Madrid crowd ought to make up the difference.

Our next opponent just lost a game without surrendering a single completed pass.

It's a bummer for Lamar. Hopefully he can get back for NYE. It's annoying, however, that as the Ravens fall out of contention, both the Steelers and Browns remain entirely in it.

Burrow was involved in four TOs, and I am fairly confident this game will strengthen his MVP odds.

I've never been more relieved to be a vegetarian.

Turns out 43-36 is a scorigami. Neat.

Apologies to every toddler at BW3s that had to hear my constant profanity. However, why were there so many toddlers at BW3s? What are we doing, parents?

Defense against the winless Dolphins: 220 yards rushing Defense against the 4-2 Ravens: 13 points Defense against the 1-6 Titans: 36 points Whatever. Every game is its own self-contained nonsense. We take the win and ignore the details.
