Yeah I have no idea about this game. Dare I say a win ??

Agree but my main take away is that having our projected starting DT’s in Rankins and Hill made a big impact overall. No matter what else was going on with the defense, those two were visibly active up front. It also appeared that Anarumo was switching things up with how they were bringing pressure last night. Just hoping it continues.

There might not be another song in the history of music that I hate more than that one. It’s the kind of song killing sprees are born from.

No, no Geno jersey. Last week’s game landed that back on the hanger. I didn’t wear any Bengals gear. When they can put more than a single win together I might go back to that. In the meantime, I will take the win and hope Rankins and Hill stay healthy because they made a difference last night.

It was nice having competent DT’s in the game tonight. It’s a win and you just keep your head up. Get ready for next week.

Pull your heads out of your ass and don’t go fucking up yet another game you should win. Jesus please keep the Bengals from stepping on their dicks tonight in prime time. AMEN…

This. Undeniably this. The offense goes and puts up mad points and they can’t stop anyone. The fact this team isn’t 4-1 falls squarely on the shoulders of the defense. I don’t give a shit about players only, closed doors meetings. Who fucking cares? Is that suppose to mean something? If it is, then that bullshit should produce results on the field. If it doesn’t then it’s nothing more than verbal masterbation and I’m not buying that shit from a team that should be killing it.

Sounds really insightful on the part of the Athletic…

And if not, the 2025 draft thread starts now.

I have no reason whatsoever to feel this way and will probably be let down again, but does anyone else feel like this team is due to just kick the living shit out of someone? Maybe it’s my lack of sleep lately…

Well credit to Mike Hilton stepping up and addressing what’s going on with the defense. Granted he simply said what we already knew, but at least it’s not Burrow being obviously frustrated when having to discuss the team. ”We’ve been playing like shit, for real”.

Easy guys… Geeesh, what happened to all the good vibes from training camp? I’ll tell you what, let’s talk about something really important that has seemingly gotten lost in all this losing. Burrow’s hair. I mean it’s really growing out well. Almost an early 2000’s nu-metal frosted tips look to it. I can only imagine what he’s going to be wearing in the coming weeks while walking into the stadium to go with that hair style.

We don't have much of anything on that side of the ball.

I had to look up flouncing, so I probably wouldn't be a good fit there.

I remember Stueber from the draft. Picked him in some of my mock drafts late. Don’t have a take on him but I guess. Sucks to lose Dax. I can’t find much to be excited about knowing the defense is not going to get better this year. Hate to say it, but I really believe the season is over. It’s like the Reds. Once you know they’ve hit their potential and it won’t improve, I find it hard to watch. Not sure I even watch. No one cares if I do or don’t but for as mad as I was, I find myself in a state of don’t care. Sad because I was really hopeful for Tee’s last season here.

Agree Hoosier… Burrow ripping the defense isn’t going to help and would probably make it worse. It just would have made ME feel better. I mean, why are they forgetting about how I feel about this? Ok here’s another idea then… Who are the defensive team captains for 2024? Well that would be Sam Hubbard, Vonn Bell and Germaine Pratt, and ADG (although he’s for special teams). How about the next time (and you know it’s coming) they shit the bed, instead of Burrow going out there to answer questions, one of those “Captains” handle that? Bell is called “The General” and was brought back for his leadership. Well Vonn, show some leadership and don’t leave your QB having to answer for you and your defensive teams screw ups. Yes it is what it is.. An absolute abortion of a defense. 2024 in nutshell. Yes, I’m really angry.

Much like Hoosier, I expected a loss so I’m right where I thought I would be. However, the twist now is how I got here. If you told me Burrow was going to go 30-39 passing for nearly 400 yards, 5 TD’s and they score 38 points, that’s a fucking win. Hell that’s a win for damn near ANY team in the league. Then the Bad News Bears defense goes out there and proceeds to give up 41 G*ddamn points and they lose the game. Sorry, but regardless of where I expected to be, this is horseshit. I agree that I thought Burrow was going to throw the D under the bus in his presser. Regardless of being a professional, I think he should have. You send the guy out there who just fucking torched a division rival but took the loss and ask him stupid ass questions about how he feels after that. I would have felt better had he just said, maybe you guys should ask Lou and the defense because me, Chase, Tee and the rest of the offense crushed it, and then walk off the stage. There is no silver lining, feel good, cliche filled verbal masturbation to explain what the fuck just happened today. Make putting up 38 points against the Ravens, while taking the loss make sense and then I will listen.

I have no words for this fucking team. Oh wait, yeah I do. Fuck these guys. Seriously… FUCK THEM. Lou should be fired immediately. Playing for a field goal in overtime was a bitch move. This team is fucking soft. I hate them so much right now. Hey Rehkow, fuck you too.

On our way to do some tailgating in Houston. Rocking my Atkins jersey so this should be a fun day. Fucking WHODEY baby !!

Buh bye Zac

Or the Saints because of Carr, his college QB. You know, before the Raiders broke up that party.

WHAT? Seriously? That's not anything I was expecting to happen. COB... with you being the resident Tribe (that's right I said it) fan, I'm interested in your thoughts? Can't be any worse than some Single A coach they would hire that has great potential.

Watching this Falcons game and they have this safety named Bates. Man is that dude good. Wish we had a guy like that in the secondary.

Good for Yoshi !! Seems like a really good dude.

On a side note of things that will never happen. How great would it be to see Kenny Anderson, Isaac Curtis and Lemar Parrish be the three senior inductees into the Hall this year? Honestly, I would be happy if even one of them made it and we all know how this has played out in the past. Good luck this year gentlemen !!
