Agree. I can only think of how much more Zimmer will probably get out of a guy like Micah Parsons. An aggressive coach with an aggressive player. I like the way that sounds for them. I hate the Cowboys.

I take a look at the PFF simulator from time to time, but agree that it's pretty useless. There are a few that I look at on a daily frequency, as is well known, I REALLY enjoy the draft. At this point however, the variance in rankings is all over the place. The Pro Football Network simulator is fun, as it allows for trades for free, but it can get crazy. I have a history of clamoring on about linebackers, but have cooled off in recent years. Mostly due to those on this board that helped me chill the fuck out. That being the case... I really like Cedric Gray out of North Carolina.

Nearly a year later and the over the top aggressive pissed-core music is still at the top of what I listen to. Aren't we suppose to start chilling out as we age? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmsCSBWDAmA COB, what say you ??

Pitchers and catchers report today. The main site also has an article about the projected roster, which is interesting. I still can’t get over the amount of young talent this team has and the plethora of infielders capable of playing multiple positions. I’m looking forward to spring and baseball being back !!

I’m still in the same relative space. DT, OT, TE as my top three with WR, CB and maybe LB or RB sprinkled in.

I’m happy for Zim. Even happier that Rex Ryan now has to shut the fuck up about it all.

Well, seeing as how the league likes to have division games at the start of the season, I'm expecting more of the same like last year. I'm with you though, no divisional games for the first 3-4 weeks would be good by me. The end of the season? Yeah, I like those. Adds to the drama unless the rest of the division sucks. We don't seem to have that problem though.

Color me absolutely uninterested in seeing the Bengals open up on the road against the Chiefs. Not because I don't think we match up well, but rather our poor trend of starting slowly.

I watched for about 5 minutes at the end of the first and start of the second quarter. Then turned it on again about a minute into overtime. Funny, last football game of the season and have next to no interest, but come August I will be willing to watch Mother Mary of the blind play a game !!

Either way, I’d say the same thing… Sickening

That’s cool. Good for him.

I will probably watch at least a portion of it. I really hate the 49er’s. I mean REALLY hate !!! GO 49er’s !!!

Typical… There’s always next year !! Ugh…

Said it many times… Pollack has been given draft picks, free agents and all the time and resources a coach could ask for. He has been given much and produced little.

Outside of the excitement and fun of seeing your team play in the Super Bowl, most of these conversations don't really occur concerning your team until after the game is over. Not being in the playoff, let alone the Super Bowl makes the offseason painstakingly long and boring. Guess we won't be seeing many changes with the o-line in 2024, outside of a more than likely new right tackle. Pollack isn't going anywhere and all others seem to be entrenched in their positions. Brown - Volson - Karras - Cappa - New Dude Why am I not so inspired by that? EDIT: The first person to bring up Carmen as a potential starter needs to be kicked in the nuts...

I saw that as well. Good for Rex. I always liked that dude. Wish him nothing but the best !!

Ravens lose another piece… https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/reports-dolphins-hire-anthony-weaver-as-their-head-coach

Are we really still discussing Irv fucking Smith today? I'd rather talk about Shaka Heyward making the team this year as a linebacker. (Not really)

Nope, no panic. If they want to bring Irv back, they can certainly do that. I just don't know why you would. He sucked when Burrow was hurt, sucked when he was healthy, sucked when Browning took over and pretty much sucked for most of his playing time in Minnesota. Why pay that guy anything? Shit, Sample got paid a half million less and outperformed him even though he mainly works as a blocker. Not sure why you think I'm pissed off. Is it because I said he could "fuck off"? Maybe I should have been less vulgar and simply said, he can go away. That sounds less aggressive, so there. I'm not mad that he sucks. His suckage is his problem. I just don't want it being the Bengals.

I already said that I don't care how much he made, only that he didn't deserve it. Fact is, he didn't. I honestly had no idea he made that much until you brought it up and I went and looked. My point to all of it? Irv Smith can fuck off. He sucks. Kind of hard to argue that point really. If the argument is Burrow's calf, he actually did better when Burrow was hurt to start the season. Maybe the argument should be that Browning didn't like him if we are making shit up as we go.

I actually would like Tanner Hudson back, if for no other reason than Burrow loves the kid. Based upon what we saw from him, it would appear he should have been brought up much sooner than he was. He finished with 39 receptions for 352 yards and a TD. A big note that 21 of his 39 catches went for first downs. Nice percentage. He cost the Bengals $940,000k. Meanwhile, Irv Smith Jr. had 18 receptions for 115 yards and a TD. He had 5 first downs on the season. He cost the Bengals $1.75 million. Yes, he got paid too much. Yes, he sucked for what he produced for the season. His replacement should be found. If the Bengals were to draft a 3rd round TE this year, which I would have no problem with, that pick will cost them roughly $1.5 million per year for the next 4 years. Cheaper than what they paid Irv Smith this year and provides some consistency for the team in the coming years. Pair him up with Hudson and Sample, who shouldn't cost a buttload and I think they are onto something. Just don't bring Irv Smith back.

Funny, I didn't realize that was a part of the evaluation process. Scouts really get in there huh?

Guyton is certainly a guy they should be considering. Him having Brown's phone number is not part of the equation. If it is, the scouting department really needs to rethink things.

Totally get that. Newton has been my #1 for some time now, but I'm for the first time swayed by the thought of the best available RT. Those guys look really solid and we need that badly. Especially when considering I think Pollack should be fired. Then God forbid a TE like Bowers, who should go in the top 10, happens to fall. Not saying he should absolutely be the pick, but his presence should give them pause before picking.

I don't think about or care how much they pay Irv Smith, but whatever it is, it's too much. HE SUCKS !!
