Probably not. I was thinking the same. ”Who the fuck is this guy ??” It’s fun though. It would be a huge black eye for the NFL that just started to allow betting, among other concerns. I would enjoy watching that particular train wreck.

All things considered, I fully expect a complete investigation to be completed tomorrow, totally exonerating the head referee of any and all wrong doing. I mean the sheer number of lawsuits would be staggering. As a matter of fact, I think I need a lawyer. I need reimbursed for travel, lodging, tickets and food. Not to mention the massive amounts of mental anguish both ArmyBengal Jr. and I are currently dealing with. We have both been completely incapacitated and are incapable of going to school and work respectively. Who knows how long this could linger ?? Mem, know anyone wanting to take my case ??

No knowledge huh ??

NFL has a recovery time of about 9-12 months depending on severity of injury and position of the player. Seeing as how Collins is a lineman and weighs a boatload, I’m guessing close to 12 than the 9. Since he was injured on December 24th, that’s why I was thinking he would be out the majority of 2023. Of course I’m no doctor and maybe he heals sooner. I would just rather not put all my eggs in the basket of that happening.

The Bengals have an out on Collins contract as well, so seeing as how he's likely to miss damn near if not the whole 2023 season, his release would not be a surprise. That's not to say it will happen, but his contract was built to allow for that possibility.
-
Just one as far as I have seen.

I'd rather a RT, as opposed to a LT. Jonah may not be the best LT in the league, but forcing the issue with a lesser talent that may not see the field isn't my desire. RT on the other hand could earn the starting spot from day 1 with Collins possibly not seeing the field in 2023 or at least until the last few weeks of the season. The other thing I like about taking a RT is one could be had on day 2.

Well Bates would still need to sign the tag in order for the team to trade him, but if he wants a bigger contract (he does), I don't think that would be an impediment. He has already stated that while he wants to stay with the Bengals, he can't leave 10 million on the table. I would make a bet another team would be willing to give more than a 3 round comp and have him sit at a table of his liking. Don't get me wrong, I love Bates and think he deserves to be paid. However, I don't think that position is where we need to spend 18+ million per year. Thanks for everything Jessie and nothing but the best !!!

Oh yeah, free agency... There's too many unknowns at this point to try to guess. Burrow should be the first piece to that and then move from there. I hope they get that done sooner rather than later as well. I don't want that hanging over everything else. After that, what I hope for is as much continuity as possible and upgrades where they can get them done. Jonah, Volson, Karras, and Cappa should all be there to start the 2023 season, but Collins tore his ACL and MCL in week 16, so he might not see the field in 2023. RT needs to be the priority and don't care if they do it via free agency or the draft. Considering future contracts coming due, I would guess the draft. After that, I have no issue with trying to build the depth of the line at any position the teams desires. I still have no thought of Bates being here under a long term contract. He was franchise tagged and got 12.9 million last year. Unless there was guarantee when he signed the tag, I believe the Bengals could tag him again at less than 16 million. I would rather them try to tag and trade, as oppose to let him walk. He's looking for top of the market (18 million) and the tag wouldn't impede a trade. Yes, it would piss off Bates, but at that point, who cares? Do you want a 3rd round comp or what could come in a potential trade that would surely be more. What the hell do I know though ??

I don't like the decision Ossai made there. It's one thing to have your momentum carry yourself into a player, but this was more than a simple unavoidable collision. He gave Mahomes a shove well after being out of bounds. It was a very bad decision on his part and that flag had to be thrown. All that being said, I understand what comes along with making bad decisions that affect many people and how it can stick with someone for an extended time. I truly hope Ossai can move past it sooner rather than later, because I think he's a good player and I want him to stick around. Own the play and move forward, don't let it define you. I feel bad for him not just because of the outcome, but how the cameras focused on him at one of his most vulnerable and emotional moments. I wish him nothing but the best and hope the team rallies around him. And to Paul Alexander... at your soonest convenience, please go fuck yourself. What a piece of shit.

Side note… The Chiefs fans might be the coolest group of fans my son and I have ran into during our years of football traveling. Damn near everyone was welcoming and then gracious in their winning. Unlike the Bills fans who can ALL go suck a dick. We had a great time. Great memories with my son !!
-
Hard to take that one and the crap drive home will be a little more irritating. I hate the late hit by Ossai and still don’t know how you make that huge of a boneheaded mistake in that situation. That being said, he’s not the only reason they came out on the wrong end in the game. It was simply nothing in comparison to how completely they played in Buffalo. Call it better game planning and execution on the part of the Chiefs. I don’t want to sit and and pick apart every little reason they lost today. It’s just pointless at this point in time. They had a great season and that makes back to back appearances in the AFC Championship game, with a Super Bowl appearance between them. Anyone not happy to be a Bengals fan really needs to go back and relive the 90’s. The 2023 season is going to belong to the Bengals. Hope all you guys and your families are well. WHODEY EVERYONE !!!
-
Made it to the stadium. It’s old but the Chiefs stadium looks cool as shit when coming into the area. Tailgates are pretty sweet as well. Much better scenario than the Buffalo game. Yes, I’m not about to complain about the Chief’s injuries when considering our o-line. Pressure Mahomes and hit Kelce every chance you get. Lets get after it boys !!’ WHODEY !!!
-
Nice move on the Bengals part there.
-
My wife, in a desperate attempt, took a picture of my Atkins jersey and it now it’s my wallpaper on my phone. Its going to have to suffice for now !!
-
All is lost. I left my Atkins jersey hanging in my room. Well, there’s always next year…
-
Seriously, I’m beyond dreading that drive back. Bengals winning will get me through !!
-
Ok we got here after 9 hours driving through the asshole of America. Southern Illinois might be the closest thing to Afghanistan I’ve seen since leaving that shithole country.
-
Two hours to go and this drive makes me want to eat a bullet. Never saw more depressing shit in my life.
-
Alright guys… ArmyBengal Jr. and I are headed to KC in the morning. Wish you all could be there with us freezing our asses off and screaming loudly !! Will do our best to bring home the “W” !! Let’s fucking go !!! WHODEY !!!

I know, I know, just poking...

Is that Nickelback ?? lol

Yeah, that guy sucks...

Here's where I am with the Mahomes injury... Anyone placing a bet on the game predicated upon what the coaches say and video clips show, is a fool. Of course the coaches are going to say he looks great and will be ready to go. What else are they going to say at this point? That video never once showed Mahomes sprinting. That was the most gingerly jogging I've seen and think it's going to be an impact. Does that mean the Bengals are going to win? No, but again, high ankle sprains don't heal in 4 days. Mahomes will be taking a pain killer before the game for sure to get through, hoping to make it through the game in my opinion. His ankle will be wrapped and I would guess his scrambling ability will be hampered by the injury. All that said, I expect him to make every effort to ball out and the Chiefs to game plan for what he's dealing with. I compare it to every Bills fan telling us on the way into the stadium we couldn't win because of the o-line. Truth is, you just never know and why I wouldn't touch betting on this game. I still think both teams will have their hands full just like each of the 3 previous meetings.

Report: Bengals Plan to PayJoe This Offseason
ArmyBengal replied to HoosierCat's topic in Cincinnati Bengals
Yes, the cap growth is what makes a guaranteed contract interesting as well. The cap hit stays the same year after year while the cap continues to grow. Mahomes is interesting that way for sure and it's a 10 year deal. Nice for them to not have to worry about that for a while.
