Whataburger is the shit !! I was spoiled being stationed in Texas for as long as I was. Good stuff !!

"A better deal for taxpayers" ?? Better be careful using language like that when the only viable option apparently is raising taxes.

Nothing would please me more than having that dominant defense that stuffs the runs and gets to the QB with consistency. Maybe they have average to slightly above average players in the secondary, but it won't matter because of the front 7. Hell yeah !!! It's why I still wear my Geno Atkins 97 jersey with great pride. I loved watching that dude wreck an o-linemen's day !!

I get that, but the defender got their before the ball did. That will get called damn near every time. Again, no issue by me. Agree to disagree, although I'm well aware society today doesn't really understand what that means...

That levy last year equated to an additional $20.13 per each $100,000 of home valuation per month. So the quick math tells you a $500,000 home, is a little over $100 per month, $1200 per year in taxes. If there's a hint of descent regarding the levy, the scare tactics come out and they simply threaten to cut jobs, cut programs, and of course your children are going to be stupid because the education is going to suffer. Apparently, there are no other options than to raise taxes to solve the problems that exist. Go Bengals....

For some odd reason despite of the improved play and thinking they could go on a hot streak, I don't feel much energy about the Bengals at the moment. My son and I will be at the Monday night game and I'm sure we will have a good time as always. However, I don't feel the excitement surrounding the team at this point. This is going to sound weird, but it feels like going through motions. Almost boring... I'm really hoping I snap out of it. Maybe a win will help that along.

The Bengals win this game. Is there any D-line help anywhere to be found? Jesus these guys are terrible.

Not that it matters, but I had no issue with that call. While Anthony was going up to make a play on the ball and the two collided, he got there long before the ball got to them. Had Anthony not hit the dude in the helmet when bringing up his hands, it might not have looked as bad as it did. Just from my perspective, but if any defender gets to one of our WR's before the ball does and interrupts their ability to make a play on the ball, I'm screaming for a flag. Right or wrong, being 0-2 sucks, but I thought this was a loss before the season started. This was a HUGE improvement from week 1 and should help remind everyone the Bengals are capable of beating the best. I think it has been mentioned, but if they continue to play like that, the start of a 5 game win streak could be coming. Maybe more.

I have a dumpster for the week and am throwing out anything I haven’t used for over a year and doesn’t hold sentimental value. My wife had no idea why she woke up in the dumpster this morning.

Well put Ja’Marr in the camp of thinking it’s a good time to get Burton on the field to make plays against the Chiefs.

More interesting…. Jackson Carman is still not on ANY team. Straight ass !!

So you found a good dealer then?

Agreed that it’s sucks for him. Never really lived up to the height of his draft selection, but wished him well nonetheless.

Well Jonah Williams moved on to Arizona and, well… he’s hurt and out for the next 4 weeks with a knee injury.

Higgins and Wilson being out might be the nails in the coffin. I vaguely remember conversation about linebacker depth, but that might have been a long time ago…

If the Bengals could miracle their ass to a win this week, fans will be quick to forget last week. I want to be hopeful, but I’m not. Color me the doubting Thomas.

Mixon is AFC Offensive player of the week. Happy for him !!

Haven’t these fuckers ever heard of meeting in the middle?

This courtesy Hoosier after the week one loss last year… The most alarming thing to me was Burrow's performance. I know everyone has bad days but he was flat-out awful yesterday. Being rusty from a lack of practice and preseason snaps is one thing, looking like you're playing football for the first time in your life, and failing badly, is another.

The rest of the world… ”Who are those guys ??”

Could be...

Just saw Ja'Marr's post game interview. Dude sounded way irritated with the whole thing. Answers were measured and short. At least three times answering "Ask Zac" when asked about how the game went. Not sure how to translate any of it, but there feels like a bit of tension existing between everyone.

Burrow looked confused. I have no idea why. Maybe more than one series over 3 preseason games isn't actually enough to get ready for week 1 ??

Yeah, the gambling aspect of the game these days is really fucking annoying to me as a non-betting fan.

Maybe the Browns hired someone to make another complaint against him because there's a loophole in his contract to avoid paying him all that coin they owe him? Probably not, but that thought jumped in my head. Pay some crack head whore $1 million to spin the story and they save almost $100 million (or some ungodly amount) by getting out of the contract. That crack head whore would have a statue built in her honor in the city of Cleveland.
