Justin Reid was a complete douchebag in Houston, so this really isn't surprising. Been proven time and time again... there's just no fixing stupid.

Makes me want to vomit to say it, but..... Let's go Steelers !!! BARF !!!

"Wasn't that you having your soul stolen by a stiff arm?" Priceless !!

Yea it is. Dalton just threw a nice 30 yard TD under pressure. Dude should buy a lottery ticket on the way home.

Hard for me to call it. Mixon has been out during a time when the o-line has really started to perform well, so I’m not about to call him out. That being said, I’m also about giving credit where credit is due and Perine certainly deserves the credit these game when Mixon has been out !! I’m pretty happy knowing we will have one of the best 1-2 punches at RB in the league moving forward and again, that doesn’t even include Evans. Nice !!

I swear sometimes I get some of my best work done after hours or when no one expects me to be there. Not surprised to hear these guys taking advantage of the time to do things at their pace, as opposed to the structure that can come in the job. As a fan, you have to love what this team has going on AS A TEAM !!!

Good, now we can stop worrying about the punter. Thanks for everything Huber and good luck to you !!!

Credit to Mitchell Wilcox for taking his defender far enough through, to keep him out of the throwing lane. The Chiefs ran a nice defensive scheme upfront and was less than a second from wrecking Burrow's shit. Just a perfect throw and catch by Burrow and Tee. You just cannot execute better than that.

Satterfield huh? That really doesn't do much for me, but wish him well. I'm not a massive UC fan and don't go to the games (Did go to the CFP game against Alabama in Dallas), but root for them being the hometown college team. I'd rather see them do well then suck. I don't think this hire gets them close to sniffing 2021 success levels. Just my take. Good luck sir !!

I don't think there will be a letdown. This whole team seems to be in sync with what Zac Taylor was saying in his press conference: "We didn't win a division championship today, we didn't win a conference championship, we just won a game, in early December, and we still have a long way to go and we got Cleveland coming into our house next week". It's that mindset that I think is going to keep things going well. This is where Zac shines as a coach in my opinion. He finds a way to not only motivate the team and push them to execute at a high level, but keeps them grounded. I don't care what happened in the first game, what Burrow's record has been against the Browns, or any of the other nonsense that makes little to no difference. Just go be 1-0 against the Browns after this coming Sunday and then move on. Don't make this more than it is. I won't be at the Browns game, but if I were, I would start up a chant every time Watson took the field. "HE TOUCHED ME, HE TOUCHED ME, HE TOUCHED ME" !!! Someone please make that happen.

It's the champagne of victory TJ, the motherfucking CHAMPAGNE OF VICTORY !!! I felt obliged to share how the story ended as well. After this weekend, you guys are more family than my own !!

I haven't always been a fan of Perine's game. I've given him more shit than praise, but I have to give credit where credit is due. I spoke about Perine in the game thread earlier, so won't belabor the thread by repeating it all again. I will just say, having two capable RB's in the backfield is far from problematic. Adding Chris Evans in the mix is all gravy !!! Having an O-line like ours is performing now is a huge boost for the RB's as well.

Perine... If there is a single player that needs to be cherished at this point, it has to be him. The guy has just absolutely balled out in the absence of Mixon and in all phases of the run game. He's running, blocking, catching passes, doing it all against really good teams and coming out on top. Lucky to have him for sure. Tee... I said this last week, have said it many times before, and will say it again. HE'S A #1 ON MANY TEAMS. The dude doesn't have to catch 15 balls a game and score 3 TD's. He's just an animal whenever he's called upon and rarely comes up empty. That catch and run for a TD was about all you could hope for out of a WR. Just tough, physical and finished the play with guys on him. The 3rd down catch to seal the game? Get the fuck out of here. There was no "luck" in any portion of that play. Pure execution and a man playing ball. The O-Line... THIS is what we were hoping for at the start of the season. Just crushing guys out there and giving Burrow enough time to throw the ball. Even when things start to break down, they give Burrow time to read the pocket, step up and throw or take off running. It truly is amazing as well to see Volson executing at this level. Jackson who? Volson has made that dude an after thought. The Defense... ZERO points in the 4th quarter to the Chiefs. DID YOU HEAR ME ?? FUCKING ZERO !!! That opening drive irked me, but they really pulled it together and brought the pressure. Hendrickson didn't record a sack, but was in on plays all game long bringing pressure. No stats for how good his game was last night. Pratt with the "GIVE ME MY DAMN BALL" moment against Kelce. Everyone saying Kelce should have just gone down without any thought to Pratt simply making the play. That was a "Who wants it more moment" and Pratt came out on top. Loved having Chase back and feel better about how he has recovered to this point. Lets keep that up because you can see how just having him on the field changes up what the defense has to do. I could spend the next hour talking about Burrow, but I won't. I don't care if someone calls him "The best" or whatever else to describe him. I looked at my son when he asked, "What makes Burrow so good dad?" and I simply responded with three words... "He's a killer". I like the moniker of "Joe BRRRR" because I think it's most appropriate. The dude exudes cool and calm under pressure, while looking to reap souls. For me, when I look at it through that lens, he's like the Kobe Bryant of NFL football. FUCKING WHODEY !!!

MY GOD, what a game !!! I totally bailed on family for a child's birthday, irritating a large group, infuriated the wife and probably won't get any for a stretch. That's ok though, I'll rub one out like a champ and celebrate that amazing win. It was fucking great to be down there for that one. I'd say I'm sorry to all the family and my wife, but I'm not. WHODEY !!! That being out of the way, I love how the Bengals just went out and executed and people still slight them. Saying Burrow is throwing prayers and he's not that good, that his WR's do it all. Keyshaun being the biggest douchebag analyst in the game, not wanting to acknowledge the Bengals are a good team. Chiefs fans bitching about how two penalties against the Chiefs "gave the game" to the Bengals. For every person saying the Bengals are legit, there's always some asshat who just can't help themselves.

Watching the Texans Browns game and I quickly realized how much of a child I can be. The announcer said they should expect a heavy dose of Chubb. I looked at my wife and said, “So should you”. She walked out of the room.

One (FA) impacts the other (draft) in my thoughts. We not view RB as a priority but if Perine asks for a hell of a lot more than the club anticipates, RB is now a priority in the first few rounds. Especially when they can get out from Mixon after next year. Bates is leaving. What if Bell ends up walking? Not thinking he will, but if he does, the safety position is a fairly large concern even with Dax in the building. The linebackers over the next two FA periods? WR’s… DT’s and so on and so on. I would think (and I could be wrong) that a team known for building through the draft is forward thinking and wanting to cover the bases that could be left bare. In honesty though, none of this is a worry to me. In fact, I’m pretty intrigued to see how it’s all going to work out.

Yeah my son and I do all sports things together. ArmyBengal Jr. is now 16, driving and a full 3 inches taller than me.

Well I woke up this morning to a phone call from my brother and law who can’t go to the game and offered his two tickets for free. I asked the wife if she was willing to fuck with fate to that degree and is that 3 year old even going to miss me drinking myself into a mess while following the game in the guest bathroom ?? She gave me one of those typical, “FINE, go to the stupid game”. Something tells me I’m going to pay for that, but I’m willing to deal with those repercussions to make the game. Let’s fucking go Bengals !!!!

That’s pretty much where I will find myself on Sunday Stripes !!

I so want to be at the game Sunday, but again, other things going on. I don't know what the hell is wrong with people scheduling things when they know damn well the Bengals are playing. I'm serious in saying that it really irks the shit out of me. Then the wife wonders why I'm in a bad mood. Is it wrong to bring a bottle of bourbon to a 3 year old's birthday party full of kids ?? Checking for a friend...

It was a bitch move on his and the Ravens part. I mean God forbid someone take accountability for what they put out there. He said it, just own it and move on. A big whatever.

Side note… Hoosier, wasn’t it you that like me, advocated for Marcus Jones in the draft ?? Kid has next level speed and just put the Pats up on the Bills.

Let’s find out !!!

Not that I don't love watching football any other time, but i'm really looking forward to the game this weekend !! It's nice being in a position that doesn't include discussing who we are taking in the top 5 of next year's draft.

I couldn’t figure what I wanted to eat a couple days back and went to Arby’s. I just ordered random shit that caught my eye and ended up with: Jalapeño Poppers Mozzarella Sticks Curly Fries Cherry Turnover Pepsi The kid read my order back to me and I literally couldn’t understand anything they said. I said again what I wanted and he responded with “Bet”. Thank God my son was in the car and let me know that was a good thing. I was about to tell them I wanted to put $20 on the kid if he fought the girl working fries. Confusing times !!
