Yeah, how much fun is this ?? Well.... a lot

Here's me trying to be objective... What do you all think about Jackson Carman moving forward since we obviously have no choice at this point? I read that his PFF grades weren't the best in limited snaps in a position he hasn't played in the pros, despite LT being his spot at Clemson. Apparently Carman scored higher in pass blocking (in limited snaps) than Jonah did prior to the injury, but wasn't great against the run in comparison. Obviously, on a personal note, I don't care much for the kid, but that's not a consideration in him helping this team in the playoffs from this point. I'm just hoping that through practice at that spot with the #1's, he can get a better feel for what they are doing and improve. We need him to be the player they thought they were drafting in the 2nd round, not the guy that got beat out by a rookie. It's not just Carman though, the right side of the line is still concerning to me as well.

Ben handing out compliments about Burrow huh? Nice of him. Wish him well in retirement. Still don't like him.

Dude situational awareness is something that I could never find a way to undo, even if I wanted to. Hell I had a run in with a woman Bengals fan at the Ravens game Sunday night. Stupid isn’t restricted within state boundaries unfortunately. I’m all in on the Bengals chances in this game. A little concerned about the o-line holding up, but this team is never going to be out of a game before it even starts.

I'm really looking forward to it. This will be my son's and mine first game at Bills stadium and I have no concerns with being an opposing fan surrounded by Bills faithful. Odd facts: Not once during my time in the Army (02/1990 - 03/2011), did the Bengals beat the Bills. The Bengals were 0-9 against the them. In the last 6 games between them, only once was the game decided by more than 4 points. The Bengals won that game 34-21 in 2015. In those last 6 games, the Bengals are 4-2, with the Bills beating us in our last matchup in 2019.

Not sure if anyone locally listens to WEBN in the mornings, but the DJ Kidd Chris uses Lapham yelp and grunt clips when the sports guy comes in to do his thing. They might be talking about UC basketball and you hear Lapham, "NICE" "GO BABY" "YEAH" "BALLS OUT" "WHOOOOOOO" !! It's always hilarious to hear him sneak them in where they don't belong.

Just confirmed my son and I are headed to Buffalo to catch the game !! LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOO !!

That’s awesome. Switzerland is beautiful. Stationed in Germany early in my career and then took family back a few years ago. Along with Germany, France and Austria, we hit up both Zurich and Liechtenstein. Would love to take them back again. Good luck brother !!

Went back and looked. I gave the 2020 draft and “A”. Mentioned repeatedly my love of the Marcus Bailey pick and thought people really overlooked what Tee’s game was about. I had an concern with not addressing o-line when Josh Jones was there to take, but we went with Logan Wilson and certainly won’t complain about that as Jones had some drug concerns and probably wasn’t a good fit. Glad to have gotten that one right.

That sounds awesome !! Rooting for you. So two questions… What do you teach ? Where in Europe ?

Great post Stripes, but curious minds want to know… How did it go today ?? Did you get the job or do we need to send the Bengalszone covert operatives to go handle their mistake ??

If I recall correctly, there were a couple of picks I was thrilled with at the time. You have me curious Mem. I might have to check that out myself as well.

Interviewer: “YOU’RE HIRED !!

Apple can suck a dick. Im sick of the at least one a game lapses of reason. He’s done better here than any other team he’s been on, but “better” is subjective. Williams has not been good this season but it’s been good enough to get them back into the playoffs.

Now all we need is a solid game plan for Stripes big interview and it’s on to Buffalo !! Pull a Hubbard, Stripes and take that shit to the house tomorrow !!

Hard to say much more about tonight’s game except it’s a division rival that knows the Bengals very well. Buffalo is not afforded that same luxury. Our o-line getting injured all to hell doesn’t help matters, but it will be interesting. I can’t call the outcome. These teams are both really good.

I rarely post or check on the game day threads either. The refs were just pissing me off so I made one post to vent.

FUCK YOU REFS

Waddle dropping a deep pass doesn’t help anything.

Ahhhh, the days of Carson, Chad, TJ and Rudi. Good times, great comeback win !! At the end you see Marvin, after his team pulling out a big win, have next to no emotion. Just that stupid ass grin of his. It's another thing I love about Zac. He's full of emotion on the field and gets pumped up and celebrates when the team does well.

Last weeks 2nd half was already discussed by players and coaches as being vanilla due to their lead and knowing they were going to face them again in the playoffs. I suspect since this team is currently so much different than the one the Ravens beat in week 5, they simply didn’t want to put that much more on film for the Ravens to expect during the game. I expect a solid game plan to deal with what the Ravens do and how we are going to put points on the board. It might be closer but the Bengals should win tonight. The stadium is going to be crazy loud !!!

Agree with that. Unless Miami upsets Buffalo. Then the Dolphins go to get stomped and we get the Jags.

Down 27-0 and win 31-30. Insane…

Call it Bengals PTSD… I don’t honestly think they will Jack it up, but this is just different from the days of players asking to be traded and bitching about Gatorade. New day for sure !!

Lawrence with 3 picks in the first half. Hard to win doing that shit.
