I'm honestly not expecting great news about Chase. He may come back, but he's not going to be 100% the remainder of the year.

Bring the good news !! Love getting Reader back in the mix. Nice knowing we had the depth to get us through. Well done...

The local school district wasn’t off for Veteran’s Day, but my youngest goes out of district and he was. Him and I hit it up and there was next to no one at the first showing of the day. Black Adam is on my list as well, but will probably wait for that one. Glad it’s good but the Rock has become very boring to me lately. His schtick is too predictable. No matter the character, they are all kind of the same.

It’s easier to love Andy when he does that shit to some other team.

They tray system in a place like Arizona and Vegas (which is cool to see) thrive because of year round sunlight as well. Cincinnati winters ?? Yeah, not quite the same. Everything seems to die this time of the year, so that presents its own challenge. What that looks like in places like New York, Minnesota or any other northern (winter) cities can vary as well. But hey, if there truly is that big of a difference, then I’m all for the change. However, I think in some instances they would simply be trading one problem for another. Think the old Cincinnati and Pittsburgh fields. Horrible.

I saw where the stats don’t support either argument, where there are almost the same amount of specific types of injuries regardless of the turf. I don’t know, just what I read. On a side note, my youngest liked Wakanda Forever, but I was bored by it. Without giving the reason why, there will be more of the Black Panther movies to come.

Seeing Wakanda Forever with my youngest in just a couple minutes. After that ?? Yes, hitting the food deals !!

Wishing all of my fellow Veterans on the board a Happy Veteran’s Day. I hope it’s a good one for you and your families !!

How about a Wendy’s Double Stack with cheese, French fries, and a large chocolate Frosty ?? I could even swing a trip to the new trampoline park at a discount price of .99 cents. I mean that’s like $20 regular price. You are going to have to buy your own socks though.

Don’t be sorry, just a slow day all around.

Slow day

I recall being super pissed off about that play when it happened and staying pissed off for some time. As time has gone by, I don't think it's unreasonable to see it through a more objective lens. For example... From his perspective, Kimo had no idea if Palmer still had the ball or not at that point. I don't think he "crawled" to continue using that word with the intent of rolling his shoulder into his knee. He was there and did what he could to make the play. Did they change the rule after that ?? Yes, however I simply don't view it in the same light I once did. I mean FUCK the Steelers and all, but maybe my age has softened my stance a bit.

Fuck you Andy Dalton... (not really)

Maybe Andy needs to do some mortification of the flesh to purify himself of his prime time evils ??

Better say some Hail Mary’s during halftime !!

Andeee Dalton Clap, Clap Clap, Clap, Clap Andeee Dalton Go kick ass for the Lord Andy !!!

Just seeing those o-line names in print caused my PTSD to act up. If you see in the news tonight about multiple buildings in downtown Cincinnati being set to flame, um, it wasn’t me… I was with TJ. You got me right TJ ??

So no different than all the lithium batteries they made for EV cars that the department of transportation has now labeled as "hazardous material" and will no longer ship. If you buy a replacement shoulder, you will have to have it taken out and have to leave it when you move !! Seems reasonable.

When the fuck is Elon Musk going to start building replacement parts for humans ?? I would volunteer to let them replace my worn out joints with some cyborg shit. The big concern for football players will no longer be PEDS, but having bionic legs or some shit. "We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better, stronger, faster."

Agreed Mem... so every week is a must win unless they go on a 7 game win streak, wrap up the division and rest starters for the final. Can we just pencil that in and go from there ?? I vote for that.

There has been a lot of talk about the play calling of Zac to this point and regarding that thought, I'm curious how to take Mixon's comments after the game, especially the last part: "Coach called it up, and we came out being physical. We came out being physical and we basically did whatever we could for him to keep calling them plays and running plays, and he actually stuck to it." I wonder if Mixon thinks the running game hasn't gone well to this point because of Zac's play calling or him abandoning it for throwing the ball down the field ?? Just more curious than anything seeing as how the run game has pretty much sucked ass to this point. Here's to hoping Zac and the team relies more on the running game and the o-line can continue to create holes and block well moving forward !!

Not that it's not already known, but here's the slate after the bye week: @ Steelers @ Titans Chiefs Browns @ Buccaneers @ Patriots Bills Ravens My reason for displaying that is to ask a question... What week do they have coming up that ISN'T a "must win" ?? They put themselves in an 0-3 hole in the division and if they don't win it, the wild card race is going to be heated. The Bills, Ravens, Titans, Chiefs and Bucs are all in first place of their respective divisions (Bucs haven't been great though). Injuries are going to be key. They need to heal up and get lucky much like last season. My concern is the lack of consistency from the offense, but if they run like they did yesterday, this is going to be fun to watch. They might piss me off from time to time, but I'm no where close to saying they can't make another run at it. Upcoming Divisional Games: Ravens @ Saints (Tonight's MNF, then on bye week like us) Browns @ Dolphins (11/13) Saints @ Steelers (11/13)

Hilarious TJ… I took a nap and meant to get up for the game. I woke up and it was 28-0. Glad to see the Bengals handling things with the running game. On a side note, I heard a name and saw a play that I was secretly hoping would continue to go unheard. (Terrace Marshall) Had we taken Sewell in the first instead of Chase he was the guy I wanted in the 2nd. That was his first TD since being drafted by a horrible Panthers team that hasn’t had a QB worth a shit. Would love to see him make his way to a reunion with Burrow and Chase down the road.

Shhhhhh, you’re going to ruin the surprise.

Misguided ?? Probably. However, at the midway point of the season the team should know who they are. Unless they can figure out how to be more consistent, not play half the game, improve playcalling, get better o-line play and establish a running game, I think we know how the story ends. The schedule gets nothing but harder as we go and again, I just don’t have the faith in them at this point. The injuries mounting certainly aren’t helping them either. Will still be rooting hard Sunday.
