Drumroll… playcall sucked ass

I don’t mind going for it here, but they better have a good playcall ready.

I’ll take holding them to 3 all day

Pass rush more like ass rush

I’m not teased. I’m not teased. I’m not teased. I’m teased.

I won’t entirely quit on the playoffs until they’re eliminated, so we have rooting interests today. Steelers over Chiefs (HURL) Texans over Ravens Keep the Chiefs fighting for the one seed and increase the probability (albeit remote) that Baltimore plays itself out of the division before we face Pittsburgh (i.e., if our game is flexed late).

Pretty brutal. IND and MIA have absolutely awful teams left on the schedule.

Tennessee blowing it against Indy

More like Cade Dork, am I right

Joe 3 TDs short of 40

Biggest failure of a season since at least 2010 and probably since 1989. I define "failure" as a massive gulf between expectations and results, so all the trash can seasons in the '90s onwards don't quite count.

All set up to have life in the final week… So the Chiefs can sit their starters against Denver.

Ah yes, a veiled threat to demand they commit seppuku

War is good for absolutely nuthin, nuthin, say it again. Cody Ford is good for helping defensive ends with performance anxiety get it up before a game.

At a certain point, however, even the change-paralyzed Bengals front office has to notice Zac Taylor's 1-11 record in the first two games of seasons.

If it's up to me: Tobin is gone. Zac is gone. Lou is gone. Pollack is gone. Pitcher can stay if and only if the new HC wants him. If you go 0-3 and then 4-8 with Joe Burrow playing like an MVP, you get fired. The end. No further questions. Don't care. What I expect: One firing. Probably Lou, but not even that is guaranteed. His reputation had become quite strong by 2022, and I don't know how long his leash truly is.

Last week's stand-in tackle seemed to dramatically outperform Ford. Would like to see more of him.

If his last play for us is catching a TD from Joe Burrow, that's a fitting departure.

I watched the post-game locker room celebration. I took a shot every time Zac said “K”. I’m dead now.

I suspect the Chiefs will be resting their starters. If the Bengals still somehow have a lane at that point, it will be the needle in the balloon.

Denver loss was definitely better. Now they absolutely must lose out for the Bengals to get in. Pretty much a wrap.

Things are going just the Bengals way in the standings enough to encourage the false hope. I will NOT be duped. Nope.

Flag flag flaggety flag

Jackson Carman is playing like shit for Miami against Houston

Glad for Newton to join the turnover parade. and that the refs didn’t throw another flag for no reason
