Same, Army. I’m prepared to capitalize on free food all over town.

Bye week. Boring week.

I remember how great Stacy Andrews was always billed to be while he was depth. Then when he finally suited up to play... no.

Encouraging him didn't help. Next time I suggest berating him.

Still don’t think it was a cheap shot. KVO pushed through Steinbach, was falling to the ground, and still tried to get to the quarterback the only way he could. He didn’t “crawl”. I just watched it again. It’s unfortunate that the rules protecting QBs hadn’t developed to their current state yet back then. I know it’s a bad memory for all of us, and I don’t expect folks to agree with me. Oh well.

Yeah this got ugly.

Saints 1st and 2nd down defense has been good. Saints 3rd down defense has been absolutely ***damn terrible.

I haven't seen a single Saint having fun.

Until that. Isaiah Likely is the skinniest tight end I have ever seen.

Ravens have had a bunch of negative plays in the first quarter before hitting an intermediate throw. Good start for the Saints all things considered.

Come on Saints. Have more fun. Play more together.

I was thinking earlier today about the recent Bengals offensive line lore, specifically at center. The story from Buckethead to Bucket-Ted has been so nightmarish. Richie Braham Eric Ghiaciuc Kyle Cook Russell Bodine Billy Price Trey Hopkins Ted Karras Aside from one good year out of Cook in 2009 and maybe Hopkins in 2020, that's as dark as it gets for 15-20 years.

I can only imagine how much heavenly fury we could have witnessed on the field had Andy Dalton and Jon Kitna joined forces in a single quarterback room.

Nah. The Steelers kinda did, but he was pretty consistent against the Ravens.

Andy Dalton, earlier today I overheard Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey discussing your wife Jordan with his teammates. I believe he said “yes, Jordan Dalton is known to be sexually profligate”, and they all had a little chuckle. I swear.

I dunno if medicine has advanced meaningfully for that injury in the last 14 years, but if not that’s a problem. Palmer in ‘08 was done. Granted the Bengals might have shelved him deliberately since the team was horrible.

Andy Dalton, will you please sign my breasts?

Baltimore Ravens fans wake up every morning with mud butt after the gradual leakage incited by Dalton to Green/Boyd nightmares. I remember visiting a Ravens forum once, where I saw a man voicing his outrage about the humiliation of continuously losing to the Red Rocket. Let’s give that man a little nostalgia. Who dat.

Andy Dalton, you’re a great friend, and you make lots of great touchdowns! I like your football throws! You are very red! Go get em!

I was looking at the game earlier thinking it might be a nice spot for Baltimore to lose a game. Then I remembered it’s Andy in a primetime game. If they find a way to have fun and play together, then I will be very pleased.

5-4 at the bye. Disappointing but manageable.

Yes. Good enough.

Rough rep from CTB there.

Brandon Allen time is the best time.

The Panthers are terrible, but still a decent showing today for the secondary depth.
