I’m with that. Hope springs eternal.

I would agree more except they do this every year since Zac has been here. Start slow, play like crap against teams they should beat and then spend the rest of the season playing catchup with the #1 seed beyond reach. They have to find a way to fix that.

Agree with something getting done with Trey as well. People view it differently, but the Bengals really hold on the cards with both his contract and the tag. They could keep him from ever getting a longer term, big pay day ever again. If they use the tag, he will be going on 33 before he gets a chance with another team. Not many mid 30's DE's out there getting long term high dollar deals. Stewart? He will get done sooner or later, but the Bengals front office is really stupid with this. Creating something that previously never existed and having it impact him getting on the field is just silly. Am I losing sleep over it? No, but as I view it, it's stupid.

It's like riding a bike. Something tells me you will slide right back into it !! I'm getting older so now I have to stretch before drinking...

I agree with that thought process as well. Will see what Zac decides to do this go round.

Whatever the story or thought is, I can't say that I really give a shit. Need to play in the preseason? Need more time off? Need more physicality during camp? Need more meetings to install the offense? Need more time in the weight room? Need hotter water in the shower? Need Nestle Quik mix instead of Kroger chocolate milk? I don't care. Do any, all, or none of that. Just figure out a way to not look like shit week 1.

Welcome to the board

Unfortunately, that’s not the first I’ve heard that suggested…

Maybe, just maybe, Harambe suffered from anxiety and depression. Maybe he viewed that dumb shit kid with dumb shit parents as his way out. Maybe he didn't accept captivity like a champ and was a miserable fucking gorilla who hated life. He grabbed that dumb shit kid and waved him around like, "Go ahead and shoot me fuckers. I DARE YOU" !!! Next thing you know, BAM. Harambe escapes his hellish existence and dies with a smile on his face. Fuck him for taking the easy way out...

Ring of Honor game will be against the Jets on October 26th.

Oh by they way and I know this might be controversial but.... Fuck Harambe

Man that made me laugh hard for some reason.

While not knowing a damn thing about this guy coming in, if he represents some solid depth on the o-line, I won't be complaining. It's that time of the year when those types of articles come out, so I'm taking the grain of salt approach.

I'm not blaming one specific thing or another on last year's slow start. Or the one before that. Or the one before that. You get the point. However, these are things that "could" impact those outcomes and at least in this instance, is completely avoidable. The front office is going out of their way to change the way their first round contracts are worded. Their doing. Am I going to lose sleep over it or keep tabs as the off season rolls on? Not a chance. Just talking the piece. With there being multiple contracts handed out in the 2nd round that are fully guaranteed, the front office has to be losing their minds in how to handle that scenario. If I were placing bets, Knight will probably be the last 2nd round draft pick signed because of that. No, not losing sleep over that either. I just wish there was something else, not representing a distraction, to read about. Oh wait, Burrow think Burton has matured over last season.... I'll take Burrow's word on that, but time will tell. Two cent head problems typically take longer than a few months to regulate.

Yeah ?? Sure... why not ??
