COB

Getting ultimately hosed by the refs now.

Mike hears you, the draft is coming up!

I’m ready to see Zac go. He’s just out of his depth. Needs to be a coordinator.

The chargers were 5-12 last year. Had good players, a very good qb. So they fired their coach and hired a better coach. We are the chargers of last year.

Wilson’s not going to be able to cover a WR 30 yards downfield. Just not going to work.

Holy shit we’re getting torched.

Should have challenged that spot. Higgins had the ball go out at the stick.

Higgins gets cheap shotted, refs couldn’t care less.

3 plays to get 3 yards. Just smash mouth them, this play calling is infuriating.

Hey, first and goal in the 3, run the ball. Guess not, 3rd at the 19. Fucking stupid. Run the ball.

Higgins blatantly interfered with. Refs don’t notice, collinsworth and Tirico don’t say a thing. It’s that kind of year. we’re the opponent, that’s all we’re.

Quite a contrast in coaches tonight. Jimmy is a rah rah guy, is emotional and very involved with the mental state of his players. I’m not saying he’s not an X and Os guy, I’m sure he knows the offense. But he doesn’t call the plays. Zac is a the epitome of the X and O coach. Expects his players to be right mentally on their own. Calls the plays and is very connected to the offense and his QB. Jimmy is also a cheater and a liar. Example: “my dad taught us to never lie cheat or steal so that’s how I conduct myself.” Absolute baloney.

Man I’m getting bitter. I’m watching the calls the bills and the chiefs get, and all I can think is that teams do that to us all the time and it hardly ever gets called.

Mainly focusing on this portion of your post.

Lou is 100% not the problem. He can scheme just fine, he’s proven that. Just the old “build through the draft” philosophy but “psyche, we’re not even going to keep the guys we draft and develop (Bates).” You only hit on a player like that like 5% of the time, and you just let him walk. It’s football roster malpractice.

"The natives are getting restless again. Eh, happens every year. They deserve a special treat and I know just the thing. Those little cowboy monkeys that ride around at halftime on dogs. But the guy’s number is in that Franklin Planner from 1997. Eh, here it is, need to get into this closet... /adjusts elaborate series of trusses, attempts to bend over, falls into closet, unable to right self, begins yelling/ Rosa, Rosa, code orange, I repeat, code orange!'"

Hey Army, Mike can’t help it if these other owners don’t understand good old fashioned fiscal discipline. If they want to irresponsibly spend their money, and use the Bengals as a sort of triple A feeder system for their teams, that’s on them. We’ll get a sweet 4th round comp pick we can use on a kid from the SEC whe went to high school locally. But wait - the kid is from Cincy and played high school ball locally, like 4 pairs of season tickets will get sold as a result of that signing. Mike’s playing 4D chess while these other owners are playing checkers.

Mike Brown should sell this team to Jeff Bezos. Bezos is on so much gear he could practically play for the team. Oh and there is also his gigantic fortune from delivering toothpaste to people’s houses. We’d actually be one of these good teams adding players, defrauding the cap somehow, and winning Super Bowls.

“A big part of building a culture is learning how to win football games.” - Kurt Warner just now on the panthers- giants broadcast.

The Cowboys suck because they have an old man owner who thinks he knows everything and won’t take advice and won’t change. Hey wait a minute.

Depression sets in.

Now (3-5) - “the rams were 3-6 last year and made the playoffs” In a couple weeks (3-7) - “the visogoths were like 1-9 against the Romans then in 410 they got a wildcard spot and sacked Rome.” In a month and a half (4-10) - “ Original Sin was facing a seasonal sweep from Adam then Original Sin’s Joe Burrow and Jamarr Chase showed up (Eve and The Serpent), man’s downfall ensued now Satan has ruled for a gazillion years. Go Bengals.”

You are not kidding. And what will they do to get better next year? Just draft and hope they get that magic mix of players that will make it their turn to win a Super Bowl. There is no strategic thinking in this organization. Just a method that is adhered to come hell or high water. Works in some areas of life, not in managing an nfl team. Sell this team now.

Before you post something like this again I’d appreciate it if you’d take my $39.99 online course; “Oxcart; The Mysterious Obstacle to NFL Success.” It’s a masterclass in old timey, aw shucks financial management of a modern billion dollar business. Lesson number one is entitled, “Do Nothing. Seriously, Don’t Do Shit”

Lamar didn’t run much in their last game, so maybe he was already dinged up. Stop Henry through some miracle, cover downfield through miracle number 2, then we’ll see if Lamar can beat us with his very mildly compromised legs.
