By watching that, he looks like he’s taking his time in that ankle. However, I’m with Mem. Let them ramble about how he’s 100%, that does them no good when we all know he’s not. High ankle sprains don’t heal in 3 days.

Karras signed a 3 year deal for 18 million, so we are good there for a little bit. He will be 31 when the deal is up. Doesn't look problematic. I think Burrow has made comments about his new deal already. I know Mike Brown has chimed in about wanting him to be here forever and the need to keep the team together. While I don't think we will get some ridiculous low ball offer, I don't think he's going to be offered a fully guaranteed contract either. I don't worry about it though, because regardless of what people think, the Bengals have paid players that have been deserving in the past. I do not expect Burrow to be heartbroken by the number he sees on an offer. I think the Bengals can keep Burrow, Chase and Higgins, but it will take some work. We won't be seeing high end free agent deals in the near future though and that's ok. Katie has handled most of the contracts for quite some time.

See ?? It's the last 4 words of that comment that differentiates Burrow from the others when it comes to mindset. Most would have simply said, "To me they're still the team to beat" and left it at that. Almost providing an excuse if you lose, or conceding loss. However, the addition of "and we're coming for them" changes EVERYTHING regarding mindset. It's savage...

I would love the Porter pick in the first.

I was going to make the same comment. Many calling the Bengals the team most likely to fall off from last year and how they just caught lightning in a bottle. Now here they are, on the doorstep from making their second Super Bowl appearance in a row. Nope, nothing to see here...

Hey, I already said it was a stupid question. The old comments are off the table !! LOL... In all honesty I've never heard that expression before. My oldness has been weighing heavily on my mind lately. SHIT, where did I put my readers ??

I personally love Dalton Kincaid, but not in the first round. I would rather have an O or D Lineman, or CB at this point. Having the ability to secure them on the 5th year option is huge. Not to mention, I could see almost any of the above taken #1. Then you may have something like last year, where a certain player falls that you weren't expecting. If Kincaid were to happen to fall to the second round, I would be all over that pick. That's where I'm taking him in mocks to this point.

Ok, I will ask the stupid question... "I'm him" ???

I finally got around to watching that clip. Glad I did. That was fun to watch.

I love the move to pick up Lammons. That’s a smart move any way you view it. Nicely done Bengals !!

Yeah, not all in on the grades and certainly don't think they paint the picture adequately. Something about them just intrigues me though and I like to see how they shake out in comparison to what I saw with my own eyes. What I saw was an o-line that everyone thought was going to get ran the fuck over by the Bills "elite" defense, hold their own. Whether that was due to amazing play on their part, the game planning by the coaches, the quick release by Burrow or a combination of all.... IT WAS AWESOME !!!

Just real quick. I saw the highest graded players from the Bills game, but couldn't find how they graded the o-line. Anyone ?? Just curious more than anything.

I was very fortunate growing up in that my father was a huge Bengals fan. He had season tickets and my mother had no interest at all. My older brother hated all things sports, so that left me to be his sidekick. I took to it like a fish to water and have fond memories of freezing at Riverfront stadium. I went to the freezer bowl when I was 10 and followed that up with a trip to Super Bowl XVI. Funny story... I got separated from my Dad at the Super Bowl and a security dude scooped me up. We couldn't find my Dad and he took me to lost and found. Thing was, the lost and found was on the other side of the Silverdome, so to cheer me up he walked me across the Super Bowl field. I quickly forgot I was lost !! We went to Bengals and Reds games up until I joined the Army and then here and there as an adult. Best times of my life. Dad passed in 2020 and he is missed greatly. However, I'm now doing the same with my son and hope he will look back as I do with my own father. Sunday is just the next one and we will be screaming and yelling for the Bengals in KC !!!

I really wish Eli Apple would just shut the fuck up. Yeah, Diggs didn’t have a great game, but don’t get it twisted. The Bills aren’t getting rid of Diggs any time in the near future. Apple could be gone after the last snap of the season, whenever that will be, and most won’t bat an eye. While he has done better here than his previous stops, he’s far from a top shelf starter.

Well, I couldn’t let ArmyBengal Jr. and I be the reason for fucking up the mojo and have the Bengals lose. So come this Saturday him and I will be headed to KC to attend the AFC Championship game !! The GoFundMe page will be needed come mortgage time, so don’t think I’ve forgotten. LMAO !! WHO FUCKING DEY !!!

My son said the same thing about Dax. You all already know my thoughts on Hurst. Awesome play with the hurdle. Nice to be back home in Cincinnati. Don’t think I would make that trip back to Buffalo again. For as much good we heard about Cincinnati from the fans, there was x10 outlandishly ridiculous shit. As much as I’ve always respected the Bills, that whole experience made me remember all the shit I hate about New York. Fuck those guys !!

I don’t care for King either, I liked the content about the o-line specifically. It’s whatever.

ArmyBengalJr. has been wearing his orange Burrow jersey as well, so there’s a lot riding on this streak. I hope the Bengals know how much sacrificing is going on to make sure they keep winning. Geesh…

Peter King’s take is a fun read. Specifically, scroll down to the Bengals score. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2023/01/23/fmia-divisional-brock-purdy-49ers-bengals-eagles/

Now I have nowhere to go for peace of mind. Well gentleman, my ArmyBengal Jr. Is now 16 and here as well. He’s a chip off the old block, but not quite as full of shit as his old man.

Head to KC ?? I don’t see that in my cards, however and why you don’t mess with a streak, during the Saints game I started wearing my Geno Atkins jersey. We haven’t lost since then so it’s the only jersey I have worn this year and it will be on again next week !!

And we finally made it back to the car and the traffic is going to be horrendous. So glorious hearing nothing out of these Bills fans that were chirping the whole walk in. I’d like to say I was classy on the way out, but then what fun would that be ?? We let them all have it the whole way back !!! Great game !!! So happy for this team !!

FUCKING FUCK YEAH !!

I don’t know how old this stadium is but it looks fucking OLD. No cover at all. Can’t wait for the snow to start falling. Cool vibe here !!

I think all of these teams are really good. It’s hard to say what’s going to happen, but suffice it to say, there won’t be any game that you won’t feel somewhat nervous about. Bills, Chiefs, 49er’s, Eagles, etc… Lets just beat the Bills today !!
