I had high hopes for Robbins. No idea why he struggled last year. Have no idea how the other punter might fare either. Pretty much clueless. Position battle sounds like a plus at that spot, so good? Ok, great...

My expectations through the first 4 weeks of the season: Patriots @Chiefs Commanders @Panthers If they are anything other than 3-1 (at worst) I will consider this part of the schedule a failure. Both the Patriots and Commanders are featuring first year QB's and coaches. The Panthers with a first year coach and second year failing QB. The Chiefs are the only of those teams with any type of continuity and stability.

My personal truth is that I have no idea other than speculating. Let me give it a try however... I think the o-line should be at least somewhat better. I like the addition of both T. Brown and A. Mims at the RT tackle spot. It's at least a wash from Jonah in 2023. We need a healthy season from Cappa and more improvement from Volson and OB Jr. from last year. I think Karras is fine. I think the WR's are fine. The loss of Boyd will be mitigated by the addition of Gesicki and Burton/Jones. The tight end room looks to be better than last year with Gesicki having an opportunity for a big season. Still think we should have locked him up for two years. a 6'6 TE who can catch and make plays is nice to have. RB is a concern in that I just don't know if Zack Moss is going to be able to replicate what he did over a short period in Indy and translate it into a whole season. If he does, we have a steal in acquiring him. Chase Brown getting more snaps can only be seen as a positive. I liked Mixon, but if those two stay healthy, they should be able to come close to replicating as well. For the D-line, the starters of Hubbard, Hendrickson, Rankins and Hill seems like a little of a drop without Reader, but I like the depth of Murphy at DE and Jenkins at DT. Would it be too much to ask Carter and Ossai/Sample to have at least solid seasons in rotation? I'm more hopeful than anything. The linebackers seem fine at the starting positions, but I do not share the same comfort level with the depth that others seem ok with. I've said for years, this is a position I feel they should address more, but this is where we are. Better hope for no injuries in that group. Cornerbacks could be a problem or could be great. I'm left to be hopeful with DJ Turner starting opposite of CTB. I'm interested to see what Dax might be able to help with in his switch from safety. I heard good things coming out about the coaches thoughts on Josh Newton, although I am not yet a fan of that pick and then you have Ivey who is coming back from injury that appeared to be coming along well last year. Not exactly comfortable here either. I actually like the addition of Stone to the safety group. Hard to fathom them being worse in 2024. Vonn Bell coming back will add veteran leadership and an understanding of the defense, if nothing else. Battle will be pushing for the starter spot vs Bell from day one. The depth appears thin there as well, but I like this group. Low bar to achieve better results from last year, so there's that. Overall, while I have my concerns I think Zac and the front office did about a good a job as they could getting the roster together for this coming season. While some might not pan out, there is great potential for this team in 2024 should they hit. Stone and Gesicki have the potential for monster years on their respective sides of the ball, with Zack Moss right behind them. Please God let Burrow stay healthy and this team dominate in 2024. Amen.

I'm serious, having the team ready week one is my one and only "want". Make it happen Zac. It's like the #1 seed is lost in the first few weeks or they are playing catch up to it the rest of the season and falling short. A post season that runs through Cincinnati would be a much better scenario then having to go back to Buffalo and/or KC. After going to both of those venues a couple years ago, I want those games here at Paycor.

I want to see camp aim at one goal and one goal only, outside the obvious no injuries… Do whatever the hell they have to do to have them ready week one. I’m sick of hearing about starting fast, only to see them come out completely flat and take the “L”.

I was taking a look at the schedule and the games I'm most interested in catching down at the stadium are: Week 1 (Patriots)- It's week 1. There really shouldn't be an explanation needed. Week 3 (Commanders)- Monday night at home against Jayden Daniels. I love Monday night games and want to see the kid play Week 8 (Eagles)- This could be an early look at a potential Super Bowl matchup. It should be a really good game. Week 9 (Raiders)- My buddy and our families always catch Raiders games together. Always a good time. Maybe week 17 (Broncos) but it will depend on how the season shakes out. I hate seeing the division games live due to the stupidity of the fans. Those games seem to be more ignorant than most. The only road games I may see is if they go on the road for the playoffs. Outside of that, probably not. I'm planning a couple of road trips with my son to catch the Texans this year though. Always a lot of fun. Couple that with Friday night high school games and Buckeyes games on Saturday and life will once again make sense to me.

So no long term deal for Higgins it appears. Not like we didn't see that one coming a mile away. While it sucks, because I like Tee so much, it's a part of how things play out. Just win one this year while he's still on the roster.

Ok and I'm back up and running on my desktop. Appreciate the help gentlemen !!

I haven’t messed with it all weekend, so I will give it a try and see about resetting the password again. Thanks for looking into it !!

Yep

Pretty good actually. Thanks for asking. It was my left hand so the stranger has had some time off. LMAO !!

Wrong email and password

So irritating when I get logged out of Bengalszone and then have to log back in. I’m typing this from my phone but can’t log back in on my desktop. I’ve tried everything I can remember or try. Thoughts anyone?

That little fucker probably had it coming for shitting in your yard anyway.

WHAT THE FUCK !!! RAGE x2

Just your weekly reminder... Three weeks from today is the Hall of Fame game. I now return you to your boring ass life without football.

Going to an FC game is a joy. The stadium is amazing and the crowds have always been exceptionally pleasant. We always have a great time and of course the team playing so well never hurts.

Yeah suck is an appropriate description.

Love FC Cincinnati. That Miami beat down was amazing !!

Pretty much us…

Have no idea what show Burrow appeared on, but this shit was hilarious. A Steelers fan (i'm assumed he's the host), wearing a TJ Watt shirt says to Burrow: "If you were to predict right now the AFC North (you can put Bengals first), how do you think the other three fall?" To which Burrow quickly responds: "Bengals first and then I don't care !!" So cool and yet so savage at the same time. Love this kid !!

Ok, I can forgive some of the older Godzilla movies due to some of the more recent ones out there. Just watched Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. Loved it !! You have to know what you are getting into with this one, but I was entertained for a full two hours. Nice…

Glad to see you back again !!

Amateur… Lol

Did you ask to watch them slice your meat ??
