Yeah, sure guys. See you in Cleveland week 1, Trey.

I'm interested to see how Tycen Anderson plays. It's a big opportunity for Newton too.

Well then it sounds like you know what to do.

No team has ever won the AFC North three years in a row. Baltimore is ripe for the taking.

I can already taste that Supper Bowel. THIS time, this is the real one.

This video gives a nice view of the IOL. It focuses on Patrick (a bit rough) but also gives a good view of Fairchild, who looked pretty solid. I think I’m slightly encouraged on balance. Hopefully they continue to improve as the sample grows.

Interesting to see the league’s handling of the brutal injury during Lions/Falcons last night (stepping in to call the game as both coaches desired). It was clearly the right move, and thankfully the player (Mo Norris) has had positive signs since. I wonder if it goes that way without the precedent set previously by Zac Taylor and Sean McDermott after Damar Hamlin’s injury. While a 4th quarter in the preseason is certainly different from a second quarter on Monday Night Football, I suspect that precedent still mattered. They forced the league’s hand that night, and it might have made the league a better place today.

Glass half-full version: The defense looked the same as before without Trey Hendrickson. Get him back out there and maybe the needle moves.

I passed out after a rough morning and missed the starters. Anyone get hurt?

Things I care about in this game: - Don’t get hurt end of list

I agree that they should shore up guard to seal the roster. I don’t blame you. But I have a decent feeling about this team (assuming they figure out Trey). I just hope IOL doesn’t lose them another playoff game.

Sounds like Stewart has been handling the offensive 2s effectively, so that’s encouraging. If he can be disruptive from multiple positions on the DL, that’ll go a long way.

That’d be fun! Unfortunately, I think Micah’s eventual contract will surpass Ja’Marr’s.

We're slowly working on that Harrison-Wayne-Stokely-Clark squad. Still work to do.

Chase Higgins Iosivas Gesicki Fant Brown Perine I'm not sure I've ever seen a deeper set of pass receivers since I joined this fanbase a few decades ago. If Burton decides to be relevant, all the better.

Look at that! We’re fun!

I like this guy.

I like this guy.

Once Trey is taken care of, I will transition immediately from grumble grumble fucking Bengals grumble everything is always a pain in the dick grumble just get on with it grumble grumble my butt hurts grumble to S U P E R B O W L

That’s the plan. Hopefully they don’t drag it out to the Saturday before the opening game, but, well… They probably will.

The language is there. $500K of the signing bonus was moved up to today instead of December to compromise (per Pelissero). Cool. Stupidity over. Go get reps.

The last few matchups have been weird. I remember the Aaron Rodgers fumble returned for a TD by Terrance Newman (I think), probably in 2013. Then of course the 84 missed field goals in 2021.

Noah Fant has my interest and my attention.
