Even with Boyd and T-Rex out, I think they get the "W" this coming Sunday. I think they have the depth to handle it against the Bucs. Maybe the Pats as well. Things start to get dicey with the Bills and Ravens to end out the season. Heal up soon boys, you are going to be needed !!! Who's going to the last games of the season ?? I know my son and I will be at the Bills Monday night game and we are tentative on the Ravens game at this point. Hoping to be there for that one as well.

Ok, I'm a brownie fan for sure. The food, not the stupid team that gets called that. I've never heard of the Killer Brownie Company. Anyone had them before? I need to know if I should try one the next time we are at the stadium. I'm sure the price will be jacked, but I do love brownies... Oh, and good for the Bengals. Get Joe's and Chase's money together sooner rather than later !!!

So who do you have in the college football playoffs ?? Ohio State vs. Georgia TCU vs. Michigan Being a Buckeyes follower, I will of course be rooting for my boys. As much as I think it would be cool to see THE GAME rematch for the National Championship, I don't know that the team would. That's two years in a row that they didn't just get beat by Michigan, but that they appear to be living in their heads. The mental aspect of that would present a challenge for them to get over in my opinion. Oddly enough, should TCU upset Michigan, that would give Ohio State some added motivation in their later game as they would probably rather face TCU. Getting by Georgia will be no small task for them and they would do well in not looking beyond them beforehand.

For those that follow college football, those listed players have been fun to watch this year. On a side note, I met Paris Johnson and his mother (since they are from Cincinnati) and they were looking into starting up a foundation for Veterans. While that hit home for me, what also hit me was how genuinely nice they were. Paris made me feel like an ant, towering almost a full foot taller than I. I will be rooting for that young man wherever he goes. Like him though, I wouldn't expect any of those players to reach the Bengals pick. I would take damn near every one of them. Of the ones that "might" fall due to teams needs, I really like Michael Mayer the TE from Notre Dame and the same for Kelee Ringo from Georgia. I'm not holding my breath though.

Jesus guys… we are 9-4. They have managed with the next guy up more than one week this season and maybe T-Rex going down allows a guy like Ossai to get his shot with more reps. There’s just as much reason to be optimistic as there is to be pessimistic. Will it be a challenge? For sure, but you can’t simply pack up for the season and call it quits because one player goes down.

Dude… Happy to win that game and have no concerns. Not worried about the plays, play calling, or anything other than the injuries. It’s a division game against a team that has had our number. They put a lot of pressure on themselves to win this game, coming off an emotional win over the Chiefs. You don’t question it, just move on after putting one more in the win column. Focus on the Buccaneers and stay in the mix for the division.

Here we go. C’mon Joe. Lets see what they figured out at halftime.

The defense is playing hit up to there this offense needs to get their footing. Nice throw and catch there. Let’s go boys !!!

Not going to complain about these penalties at this point. C’mon guys. Where’s the fire ??

Is this week 2 or something ?? I mean, what the hell are we watching here ?? Let’s go Bengals, get your head in it !!

Let’s go Bengals !! Get loud and have fun Mem !!

Dude please make that happen. I want to hear the boos coming down the Ohio. Just relentless all game long. Harass the hell out of him !!

Enjoy it Mem !!!

Ok how is it I haven’t seen some of these mic’d up sessions ?? If I haven’t seen, maybe you guys haven’t either. I didn’t want to start a new thread so I threw it in here with Pratt’s. Ted Karras might be the Joe Burrow of the offensive line. His demeanor and energy are just ridiculous !!

Dude… it just goes to show the difference in talent level from the Panthers to the Rams. I think Mayfield was reading the playbook as he was walking into the stadium tonight. He was throwing passes to guys he had never met. Then he goes out and beats the Raiders on a prime time game with less than 48 hours time in the building. Crazy !!

Pass. Civil case still pending and this team doesn't need that drama.

It was a fun watch for sure. Pratt is one of those guys I can't say I've heard much from, so that was interesting. Conversely, they did a Mic'd up with the Chiefs Karlaftis and that dude was lucky to say 5 words throughout. Not sure why they bothered with his.

Pratt's words to start them off were prophetic !!!

I will say that it makes me happy knowing he's still here. There is continuity and team familiarization you can't just bring in off the street should an injury happen. Here's to hoping they get him a ring before he calls it quits.

For the Joe Burrow content you didn't know you needed...

I had to look at that one and sure as shit. Stetson's story of transfers and backup to backups to National Champion to Heisman candidate is an interesting one. He's been playing college ball since 2017.

Boil-in-bag rules !!! I remember back in the 70’s my dad buying boil-in-bag beef and gravy. Heat’em up and pour them over bread. Talk about upper class eating !! If not that, it was bologna and cheese omelets that he made for breakfast !! Take that Jeff Ruby !!

Anyone had an Arby’s burger yet? Color me apprehensive. Not sure I want to die of cardiac arrest after a couple of bites. For what it’s worth, I caught looks when ordering at Taco Bell and ordered the Chilito instead of by the new name… Chili Cheese Burrito. Our Taco Bell is currently playing musical crack heads so there’s that.

Pickens was a known to have a two cent head while at Georgia and it was mentioned through the draft process. I guess the Steelers just chose to ignore what had been well documented. Whatever…

That’s what I was going to guess they saw… A hole in the roster.
