I will reiterate what I and others have said before. I think they should all be fired. Not really even a discussion when looking at expectations vs. results for the 2024 season. I would at least be a little encouraged by seeing both Anarumo and Pollack being shown the door. Just give this team a top 15 defense. Middle of the road type shit. Give Burrow a line that doesn't result in him being in the top 10, if not leading the league in sacks. (NO, I don't care what he says about sacks) However, as mentioned, I have no faith they will hire someone that is worth a shit or gave me real faith that things would improve. If things don't improve with a fresh look on those two areas and they falter again in 2025, Zac shouldn't even make it to the end of the season. This team just doesn't work that way. It is content bringing back everyone and expecting better results. I don't want to hear shit about close wins and if only McPherson this, or some other minutiae. Burrow finished 2024 tied for 4th in sacks taken and the defense was towards the bottom of the league. During four different games this year they scored: 33, 34, 38, and 38 and fucking lost. Has that ever happened in league history in a single season? But no, you check out the official site and you get a story about how the Bengals are "Looking to funnel '24's furious finish into '25". FUCKING SERIOUSLY ?!?! Does anyone REALLY believe how they ended this season will carry over when the season starts next September? If so, you need to go play in highway traffic.

Sportskeeda is garbage and that article is someone talking about what someone else said. There's simply no way to determine what will or won't happen with any team in this league. There are still other teams that have never won a Super Bowl. There are still three teams that have never even been to the game. There are great QB's that have never won a Super Bowl and mediocre QB's that have won it. In regards to the person making the comments, Mark Schlereth, he's a total dickbag. Next...

Yep, I will root for them and cheer for them. I will keep up with the draft and through it all. I will just no longer being doing that at the stadium or in Bengals gear. No longer giving my money to this team. I was offered tickets for the Broncos game and turned them down. Free tickets mind you. Not because I couldn't go, but rather because I wouldn't. Even though the tickets were free, there was parking, walking, and something to eat and drink. All of a $100 day and for what? No thanks Bengals. When they hold someone accountable above the level of cleat scraper, I will think about coming back. Until then, I will be attending Texans games with my son. HERE WE GO TEXANS, HERE WE GO !!!

Couldn’t agree more

Although wanting to, I didn’t watch any of the games today. Checked scores… FUCK

Checked in on scores… FUCK

Sounds like my first marriage. Maybe my first wife and your second were the same person. Was she a midget, missing all her teeth ?? Hell of a woman until she fell off that stool in the bathroom and hit her head. Such is life.

Yes, always good to beat the Steelers. Especially on the road in front of their stupid ass fans. It's nice to be interested in the outcome of the games today to see if the Bengals can sneak in. I will be watching both of those games for sure. GO JETS, GO CHIEFS !!!

I saw the Burrow interview last night as well and thought the same thing again. Good for Burrow to speak up for his guys. Gesicki was targeted 83 times this season (nearly 5 times per game) and had 65 receptions on the season (nearly 4 per game). So 78% of the time, when the ball was thrown his way, he came down with the catch. Just for comparison sake, Ja'Marr caught the ball 72.5% of the time and Tee caught the ball 67% of the time. Yoshi had 61 targets for (59%) and RB Chase had 65 targets for (83%) which was incredible for Chase this year. The argument to keep Gesicki isn't based on his redzone production of TD's, but rather his ability to get open and come down with the ball. Additionally, 38 of Gesicki's 65 receptions went for a first down. This was the 2nd best season of his 7 year career. BRING HIM BACK !!

Lambeau Field is legendary. Couldn't tell you anything about the area but I’m going to see a game there at some point just because.

I’ll say it again… Hey TJ Houshmandzadeh ?? Come get your boy. He’s a fuck up and you gave all kinds of thoughts about how much he’s matured and focusing on turning things around for his mom and sister. Well, either you were full or shit, he was full of shit, or he really doesn’t think much about his mom and sister. Maybe a combination of all of those. Either way I really thought he would have had a positive impact with the opportunity given to him. Nope, nope and nope. I was wrong and he’s a throw away pick. Hate seeing talented people piss away opportunities.

Anyone else happy we are playing an 8pm game Saturday evening? I love when the Bengals play on Saturdays.

Mixon made it for the Texans…

That freshman receiver, Jeremiah Smith, for those who haven't or don't watch the Buckeyes play, is as the young kids say... THE TRUTH !! I hope they keep up this playing intensity against the Longhorns. Honestly, I think Penn State will beat either Notre Dame or Georgia. However, the backup Georgia QB isn't some newbie either. He's been in that system for a minute. GO BUCKS !!!

Buckeyes just dominating the Ducks tonight. If you didn’t know, ESPN2 has McAfee and his crew doing the announcing. Totally ad lib and hilarious !!

Sitting watching the Texas Arizona State game now, while waiting for the Buckeyes game. Cannot fucking wait !!

Well the Dolphins are starting Huntley again this week against the Jets. The Jets at least have the 5th overall total defense and may disrupt things a bit more than a bottom half Browns defense.

I like Burrow putting the pressure on the front office. Good for him.

Cleveland being Cleveland. Maybe the Bengals should move across the River into Covington. Let Kentucky tax payers figure out how to pay for all the shit !!

I’ve seen a ton of variance between draft lines of thought this early. Still enjoy it.

Kelce finishes first in “fan” voting ?? Nice to be dating Taylor Swift and have all those 12 year girls voting for you online.

Agreed Hoosier, that's the easiest $10 million in savings they can make. Truly a no brainer. That being said, waiting to hear he will be sticking around in 2025.

Time for record projections. RIGHT ?!?! at Browns- WIN at Steelers- LOSE at Ravens- LOSE Browns- WIN Steelers- WIN Ravens- WIN Patriots- WIN Jets- WIN Jaguars- WIN Bears- WIN Lions- LOSE Cardinals- WIN at Bills- LOSE at Dolphins- WIN at Broncos- LOSE at Packers- LOSE at Vikings- LOSE That's 10-7 on the season. Now if they open the season with any of the teams I listed as a WIN in the first 3 weeks, my projection changes to 7-10. Honestly, just like this year, they can beat any of these teams. Zac, Pollack and Anarumo (see no changes) will keep that from happening. FINAL PROJECTION 9-8

I hope he gets well as well, but I also hope they move on from him. Jenkins and Jackson have gotten a lot of solid reps and at this point probably bring as much as he would. Bring back BJ Hill and draft another young DT for the rotation. Good luck and get better Rankins. And to the business side of things, buh bye. The Bengals would save over $10 million with that move.

I agree with you Stripes. Why reward tanking, while punishing playing the year out tough? I'm kind of surprised they haven't thought about it yet. That's a whole another night of prime time viewership to be had. FOR EXAMPLE: The Super Bowl is February 9th. The tampering period for Free Agency starts March 10th. The NFL Draft is April 24th. So maybe on March 7th, Friday night primetime, they host the NFL Draft Lottery special. Beyonce or some other talentless hack can perform after half the teams slotted and everyone makes money. I'm telling you right now, I would tune into that shit. This way, teams would also know when they are going to be picking before free agency hits and the draft happens.
