For those keeping up with the other teams that it would be good if they lost… The Texans are starting Case Keenum, instead of David Mills. While the Texans are my #2 team and I root for them 99% of the time, I’m hoping they take the “L” !!!

Who’s this LaPorta guy you all keep talking about? 3 TD’s? Pffffft…

Thank you Lions !!

Rooting for Titans and Cowboys.

Yeah, not surprised either.

Have to love the media. They always seem to have their thumb on the pulse of what's REALLY going on.

Here is the video they put out about the Bears new stadium if you haven't seen it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB-Svx85Uxc

Christmas parties start tonight for us, so I will dedicate one of my bourbons to her tonight !!!

2042 huh? So the stadium is expected to last 42+ years at that point? I have no issue with that, because Riverfront, which was built in 1970, lasted 30. However, with the push for newer and newer stadiums, that surprises me a little. I remember watching, what the Bears wanted to do with their new stadium and how it incorporates into the city infrastructure. I couldn't help but think that would be something cool for them to do here with the banks and maybe incorporate the street car. Then there's the whole gambling aspect that, as much as I don't like it, is here to stay and could be part of this in a larger way. Build with the whole city involved and get the draft and more sporting events involved. Really love outdoor games, but maybe a dome is in the best interest of the whole city. I will be 72 in 2042, so what do I care?

There are four teams sitting at 7-6, along with our Bengals, but currently sitting above us in the playoff rankings. Steelers and Colts are currently the 6th and 7th seeds. Texans and Broncos are the first two out, then us in the 10 hole. Also of interest are the Bills sitting at 7-6 right after us. There are 3 teams at 8-5: Chiefs, Jaguars and Browns. So this weekend, outside of rooting for the Bengals (duh), we should be rooting for: Patriots over the Chiefs (nope) Baltimore over the Jaguars (yep) Bears over the Browns (maybe) Colts over the Steelers (maybe) Titans over the Texans (maybe) Lions over the Broncos (yep) Someone has to win the Colts Steelers game and we beat the Colts and still have to play the Steelers again, so give me the Colts in that one. Again, crazier things have happened.

Odd, I get that and don’t even play football.

Injuries right on queue

I’m already in the camp they won’t make it, so if they do it will be really exciting. For what it’s worth, I’m not rooting for them to lose this week.

It really wouldn't take that much. Injuries happen, bad plays occur, all kinds of crazy. While I don't expect the Bengals in the playoffs when looking at their schedule, I can think of crazier things happening.

Don't know if Browning is truly a starter in this league, but I've seen worse. Especially this year. That being said, since we control his rights for the 2024 season, I'm not as urgent on getting a backup QB in this draft. TE might be able to wait with Hudson on board and his relationship with Burrow, but he's on a 1 year deal and going on 30. I would still be good with a high upside TE we can lock in for the next 4-5 years with Burrow. RT is a must since I see Jonah moving on. I read about Araiza the other day as well and thought the same thing TJ. Nothing to lose bringing him in at this point. Nothing.

Personally, I don't think it matters who they start. Both Dobbs and Mullens are equally terrible and not who you want starting. I just thought it was funny they didn't know. It's not like they are springing their secret weapon on the Bengals or something. Just pick the least smelly turd and move on. Does that mean the Bengals are definitely going to win the game? We already know the answer to that question. The Bengals have lost to more smellier turds than Dobbs and Mullens. All that being said, the Bengals win this game at home. If not, the glory of the last couple of wins is quickly gone. WHODEY !!!

Now if only the Vikings knew who was going to start at QB... This is a game the Bengals should win.

Jer'Zhan Newton, DT, Illinois ?? Hell Yeah !! Most would think he would be gone by the 18th pick. He's a tad undersized, but when watching him play, that is not a problem for him. Honestly, the Bengals could go in a few different directions and not be wrong, but DT is one of those directions for sure. I'm firmly in Camp Newton, along with about a handful of others.

I remember watching a lot of Washington football that year. Browning and Ross were a lot of fun to watch together. That play is against Adore Jackson as well. First round pick of the Titans and is still playing for the Giants. The announcer said Jackson slipped, but if you look at the 13 second point, Ross made a quick move to the inside and stuck his foot in the ground. Jackson had his ankles broken by Ross, who went screaming down the sideline for the TD. What could have been for that dude.

With Browning seemingly coming into his own and the new desire to pair college QB’s and their WR’s together again, there’s only one thing we MUST do to push this into the playoffs… SIGN JOHN ROSS !!!

He sounds like Kermit

Maybe that's the takeaway and win that comes from all this. I would be happy if that's the case.

I remember that one as well. Not targeting AJ Green for an entire half. The epitome of getting too cute.

Yep his issue should have been with his team, but flipping out on the sidelines is a bad look. Still hilarious…

Right or wrong from the refs, Toney was clearly offsides regardless of him looking, asking, or anything else. The question of whether or not they give a warning is whatever to me. Mahomes losing his shit is hilarious.
