Yeah I was one of those hopeful when we signed Moss in thinking if he can replicate what he did in Indy when Taylor went down that it was a solid signing. Broke necks suck. Again, best of luck to him.

Should have cut Moss earlier in all honesty. Not because I didn't like the guy or think he could have been successful in this offense. However, I think they knew that injury wasn't getting better at the end of the season. Best of luck Zack and hope you heal up quick.

Seems to be a lot of injuries happening across all camps. Browns just lost their starting CB for the season. Emerson? Anyway, keep that bug away !!

Shit… do you know what that means? We have to find something else to bitch about now. God damned O-line is in shambles. Fucking rookies and now Lucus is all broke dick and shit. If the stupid ass front office would spend some fucking money maybe we could save the season, but NOOOOOOOOO. Why would we do that ??? Jesus help us.

Sounds like Trey is ending his holdout and reporting to camp tomorrow. Didn’t make it sound like a deal was close, but it can’t be far. Not like he’s turning down their best offer and playing for $16m.

So by all accounts the Bengals and Trey are good with the money part of the deal and simply (or maybe not) trying to hammer out guaranteed money. I get the Bengals don't typically hand out guaranteed money after the first year and I also get that they may have concerns with doing that for a player that will be 31 this year. I also have commented on Trey doing this shit every year. However, just make it happen. Despite the defense being bad WITH Trey last year, I do not believe they would be better without him. The team needs Trey, the D-line players need Trey, the team needs Trey. Make an exception in this instance, give him another year of some sort of guarantee and lets roll. I've stayed on the path of "this gets done", but I just want to put it behind and get the preseason started.

Another one I didn't know was still in the league.

Not to be a dick and not that I wish him (or anyone) ill, but if I had to pick a CB to take a training camp injury, Marco Wilson would be on that list. Hope he heals quick though. Sorry Marco. Didn't realize Apple was still in the league either. Playing for the Bengals really changed his trajectory. Always liked Hilton when he was in stripes as well. Wish him well.

Yeah, "working out" on your own at your old college does NOT compare to working out on the field with a pro organization trying to learn a new playbook, with new coaches and new team mates. Hopefully it clicks sooner rather than later for him, because we need it to. Another bonus piece would be for Myles Murphy to remember how to be an impactful DE.

If Shemar is half of what Atkins was when wearing 97, it should be fun to watch. I’m really rooting for him. Big kid, athletic as hell, said to be smart and his own harshest critic, always wanting to improve. Just get Trey in here and maybe optimism will come. lol…

That’s just as plausible and even probable. I don’t know why I bother to even concern myself with this nonsense every year. The fact that it literally is EVERY year is really pointed. I should take the wake me when August gets here at the end of every season approach.

While I’m hopeful, I have just as many reasons to believe the defense is going to be a massive shitshow as opposed to a top half of the league unit. There are questions with both Stone and Battle at the safety spot. CB has potential but issues with returning from injuries and two cent heads. The DE’s are a mess right now with nothing being a definitive. The LB corps lost two veterans and are replaced with rookies and a probable overachieving (last year) free agent. I like the DT’s, but are hoping for continued improvement. I really liked the Golden hire as DC but have no idea how it’s going to work out. Im hoping all of it comes together and they have a top 15 unit. If that happens, this team becomes VERY scary. If, hope, pray and potential can also blow up in your face. Rooting for the best !!

Man I wish I had your optimism !! Anyway, yes, Stewart should fire his stupid ass agent. If for no other reason than being a little bitch.

No sir, I simply gave a simple opinion. Im not tying to win an argument or anything else. Your opinion is the NFC North is the best division. I don’t necessarily disagree. Not sure why you want to argue something I’m not disagreeing with you on. Allow me to end the conversation for good.

I started at 2-4 through the first 6. I would bump that to 3-3. If things shake out for the defense and the team finds a way to start fast, 4-2 is possible. Likely? No but that’s only based on the fact they haven’t started fast under Zac.

I didn’t make it your that you said anything. I literally gave every division in the league. You know? Better perspective and a simple opinion. While a Bengals fan, I enjoy watching all the teams and can readily admit when teams are better than mine. Yes, the NFC North is really solid and I expect them to be again. However, if the claim is based on last years record,I simply think that’s a poor measure. Too many things change in the offseason for that to be accurate. Like I said earlier, while the NFC North was probably the best division last season, a single year earlier they were one of the worst. The Bears suck and will again this year. Why? Because Caleb Williams is not a good QB. He was a head case at USC and that hasn’t changed since being in the league. Maybe this year that changes. Until then, they suck. Beat #4 team? Well based on schedule from last year, that would be the 49er’s. That’s a low threshold however.

It’s widely reported now. $18.97 fully guaranteed $10.4 signing bonus I haven’t seen anything about the language the Bengals wanted. Curious about what was or wasn’t agreed to.

I think Jackson and Burrow are both top 5 QB's in the league. I think Aaron Rodgers is hot garbage. I have no idea which of the 63 QB's the Browns have will be starting.

What's too funny is claiming "Any knowledgeable NFL person will tell you that". So anyone suggesting a different division is stronger than the NFC North isn't knowledgeable? The NFC has solid teams for sure, but it's certainly arguable that other divisions are just as solid. Best division based on what? QB's? Overall roster? Last year's record? What is that claim based on? If you go back just one season you will find the NFC North was one of the worst. Understand, this is coming from a Bengals fan not making a claim the AFC North is the best. From my simple perspective, I think most divisions have at least 2 solid teams, some have 3, but none have all 4 teams be above average. Every division had at least one team that won less than 6 games last season, but that doesn't mean much for how 2025 pans out. When I take a quick look, my take away is this. The AFC East has the Bills and not much more. That may change this year, but that's where I stand at the moment. The AFC West has the Raiders, Chargers and Broncos with at least 10 wins last year and think that's a solid grouping. The AFC North has the Ravens and Bengals. I don't think much of the Steelers or Browns, despite how last year went. The AFC South has the Texans and maybe the Colts, but I think that's the Texans division to lose. The NFC East has the Eagles and Commanders. Maybe the Cowboys are better with Dax back, but don't know. The NFC West doesn't have much of anyone, with no one winning more than 10 games last year. Maybe the Rams or Seahawks? The NFC North has the Vikings, Packers and Lions. All three are solid and should be again this year. The NFC South has little. I guess the Bucs, but Penix in Atlanta could surprise. The NFC North could certainly make that argument the way I see it. Much of any season is predicated on how healthy a teams remains through the season and how good their depth is should someone get inured and miss games. Then there's just dumb luck. I think it's really hard to make a claim with any type of certainty. Regarding the NFC North QB's, I think Goff is good, I think Love is average, Williams is a bitch and McCarthy is a complete unknown. Just my take.

Well if Myles Murphy adds another 1.5 sacks to his resume, he will have the same number of sacks in his first three years that Stewart had in his three years in college. Is that an apples to apples comparison. Of course not, I just don't like Myles Murphy as a player. Hope he proves me wrong this year.

Cap'n Crunch builds character, prepares you for the pain coming in adulthood, and hardens your will. There was a study done recently and 95% of children that ate Cap'n Crunch more than 4 mornings per week grew up to be some of the worst mass murderers in human history. Think Hitler, Stalin, and Mao Zedong level shit. Yep, Cap'n Crunch. I ate it about 3 times a week and luckily dodged that bullet, but did find a home in the Army for 21 years. I deployed for 15 months and survived. Coincidence? I think not. Not sure what that has to do with training camp, but thinking the dietician might consider adding it to the menu in training camp. It might be what they need to get that fast start that has alluded them for years.

Hmmmmmm. Have fun.

Thank you

Probably menstrual…

Free beer? I'm not a Miller Light guy, but my saying is highly relevant in this situation.
