Burrow should like that. I see all the stories about potential free agents the Bengals should consider and think to myself… if they play defense, the Bengals should be considering them. There’s literally not one defensive position that can’t stand to be upgraded to whatever degree.

Much like our Bengals… There’s always next year. Stroud may have played himself out of an extension with these two playoff games. Oh well.

Dude CJ looks like he’s having flashbacks of playing Michigan. Just totally fucking up everything he does.

Fun game but not what I wanted. Can’t make stupid plays and turn the ball over like that and expect to win. Quick note, Josh Allen has never won an overtime game in his career 0-9, 3 of those in the playoffs.

The purging of the Brady Belicheat era, the time struggling, the new players and seeing Vrabel (Go Bucks) come back and make a difference has made the Patriots more watchable for me.. Now the 49er’s ?? Until the day I die, I will NEVER, in the history of EVER, feel anything but disdain and hatred towards that team and organization. My son could grow up and become the GM of that team and I would simply start hating him too. FUCK THAT TEAM !!

Yes and yes. I thank God for my son who about 15 years ago decided he was a Houston Texans fan. It provided me a new opportunity to really root for another team and my 1b. team was born. While it hasn't always been roses and they haven't won a Super Bowl either, it divvies up my attention. I strongly encourage every Bengals fan to find their own 1b. team and enjoy football elsewhere. Yes, keep coming to Bengalszone and continue pissing and moaning. It's what we have literally ALWAYS done here precisely because we do KNOW what the Brown family is going to give us. Yes, we hope for the best as I've long commented about the Bengals utilizing the "Hope and Pray" method. However, I'm from Cincinnati and the Bengals are my team. The fact many of us have been coming here for 20 years is all you really need to know. What can I say? 2026 is our year... Until it isn't.

Good point about the Giants Hoosier. Don’t disagree. The Steelers? Not sure why but something tells me they really could pick Skippy the Towel Boy as their next head coach and they will win a Super Bowl again before us.

The Giants have Jaxson Dart at QB, Nabers at WR, Skattebo as a RB and have made some nice additions to their lines through the draft. I could see Harbaugh having success there with another early draft slot (#5 overall). I could be wrong but the Giants were intriguing to me before his arrival. Will be paying attention for sure.

The weather is not suppose to be bad in Denver at all but I’m not sure if that bodes better for either team over the other. I think Buffalo needs to establish their run game and if that includes Allen then so be it. For how many sacks the Denver defense produces, something tells me he’s going to running around anyway. Win the turnover battle.

He needed to go because of what he did on the field. This? Buh bye…

I just saw that as well. He probably needed to go back, but sucks for us.

Looking at the brackets for the divisional round, these should be really solid games to watch all around. Bills at the Broncos Texans at the Patriots 49er's at the Seahawks Bears at the Rams I honestly enjoy watching Josh Allen play ball and think it's cool to see the Broncos back in it. The Texans are obviously my 1b. team, but Maye has had a great season leading the Patriots back. Still hate the 49er's and hope the Seahawks (another great defense) trounces that ass. I have a lot of buddies that are Bears fans and would like to see them all celebrate another win. Then we follow up Saturday and Sunday playoff football with Miami and Indiana (another great defense) in the National Championship game on Monday. GO HOOSIERS !! Hope to see the Big 10 (I think it's like 35 now) win the National Championship 3 years in a row with three different teams. Enjoy this football weekend everyone !!

I thought about that as well with Zac getting canned. You hear how Harbaugh is vetting teams he will coach for and has all kinds of pull in his demands should he make them. Zac? He would be stuck with the Bengals front office philosophy of “Hope and Pray” that someone gives him a job.

Hey Tomlin, pick which one you like best... "You're stepping down" OR "You're fired" Either way, get your shit and we will have security escort you out.

I will send my best TJ !! That defense is scary good and fun to watch as a fan.

I look at the players thought to be around the vicinity of our picks and I think they should have multiple options. This is why it simply makes more sense to lose games at the end of the year. I know teams and organizations aren't really built for the tank, but there is no joy in the dead cat bounce. NONE.

It was awesome watching the Texans defense handle the Steelers last night and thank God they did. The offense was really struggling and CJ was totally off his game. Him and his center need to get that together. I love having a high powered offense, but you can see how a high powered defense changes things greatly. It's nice to see Rankins get healthy again and glad he's contributing, but our pickup of Slaton gave us similar (most better) stat results than Rankins. Hell, even Jenkins had a similar season stat wise to Rankins. Again, glad he's doing well, but we didn't lose much in comparison. I think next weeks game between the Texans and Patriots should be a fun one to watch. It's easy to forget how much fun it is to have a team in the playoffs. Hope the Bengals can right the ship and make it back.

If the Bengals fuck this up with Risner, like they did last year, they deserve what they get. Just get the guy extended and make sure he's ready to go come OTA's. It's really not that hard to figure out.

I'm good with Flacco returning and having snaps with the offense all through training camp. If they bring him back, I'd still be ok with another guy later. OT? I've actually taken some in my mocks, as it just made more sense instead of reaching. I would be ok with that as well. Just make it make sense.

Yep, certainly rooting on our Texans tonight. ArmyBengal Jr. informed me if the Texans make it to the AFC Championship game, we will be going. I asked who was paying (as if I needed to) and he just gave me the side eye. He quickly followed that up with, "I made the Dean's list Dad". Well played my boy. Well played.

They need to take defense with damn near every pick. They could literally address every defensive position and not be wrong. Granted they could pick a turd, but what defensive spot doesn't need addressed? If you look at this years and next years free agents from that side of the ball, that's a lot of guys. With all the money dumped into the offensive side of things, they can't (and shouldn't) pay some of those guys. Free agency will be interesting and should be telling.

"Pretty flexible organization" ?? Who does Duke think he works for exactly? Everyone: "We need a more robust scouting department" Bengals front office: "No" "We are taking a hard look at everything we do as we approach this offseason with focused determination to build a championship-caliber roster that wins consistently" Canned response. Wash, Rinse, Repeat. Thank God, they got to the Super Bowl 5 years ago or they might have to change that up. Again, you need not look any further than Burrow and Chase. Burrow seems to like Zac as a coach and Chase was totally confused by what Zac had to say after the season. There clearly is a disconnect in that locker room as to the best direction to travel. This team has some really good players and absolutely ZERO identity. I agree with Duke... he's an idiot.

Sometimes the lights really are too bright. Shades of post-season Andy Dalton.

That Bears comeback was pretty epic.

Triumph is amazing
