COB

This year was the definition of the dead cat bounce. Probably saved Lou’s job, we’ll see.

For god’s sakes, Turd Ferguson has a family.

Currently 38-0, Broncos over the Chiefs. Andy Reid did not take his responsibility (to get us into the playoffs) seriously.

Stefansky was a good play caller, Dorsey was not that good. And it seems there was something about their quarterback.

Even KC’s field goal kicker is in the tank. Misses one, it remains 21-0.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

If I coached an nfl team I wouldn’t let Aaron Rogers anywhere near my young players. I wouldn’t put him on my roster under any circumstances.

These bums on KC’s defense are phoning it in. Correction, they don’t look like they’d even bother to pick up the phone.

Losing both games now. But Aaron Rogers is a champion!

Bitterness. Regret. Helplessness. No, this thread is not about my second marriage. It’s about these two games wherein we’ll be forced to endure 100 truck ads, and 100 ads for those new prescription drugs that will somehow make us not fat anymore. But when we come out the other end we’ll know if the mighty 2024 Cincinnati Bengals will be in the playoffs.

The only good thing about Bill Cowher’s announcing is that he doesn’t pretend to be smart in any way shape or form.

The above stats were published by Jay Morrison on SI’s website. He writes for them, and I kind of just discovered his writing. It’s good. I listened to him on Paul Dehner’s YouTube thing last night then looked him up. In his old twitter bio or something he refers to himself as an “Arby’s Superfan,” so, he’s a righteous sort of person.

Weird stats from the game last night- TJ Watt had zero sacks, zero tackles, zero assists, zero pressures. He didn’t even show up on the defensive stat sheet. First time that’s happened to TJ in 120 career starts. Cody Ford, utility guy for our line and new love interest of Troy Aikman, blocked Watt into irrelevance (yes with a little help). The last time Cody (we’re in a first name basis now), made a start at right tackle? His rookie year, 2019, in our playoff game against the Texans when he was lined up against JJ Watt, TJ’s older brother.

Agreed on Burrow applying pressure. He’s watched several good players just walk out the door, then observed their drafted or cheaper FA replacements struggle. It’s a pattern.

Both games are 4:25 pm games tomorrow. And according to the nfl tv maps I could find, both games will be broadcast in Ohio, one on Fox, one on CBS.

Just feels good to beat the Steelers, the circumstances don’t matter to me. I know who the luckiest team in the NFL is right now - whatever team draws Pittsburgh in the first round of the playoffs.

Damn, breaking stat records all over the place, leading the league in various offensive numbers. Then there’s 1. Our defense and 2. Our end of game management.

Referees spot the Steelers first down 3 plays in a row. All 3 reversed by video.

Mike Tomlin not wearing his aviators. And I now see why he wears aviators.

Herbert needs to initiate contact. He would have had the first if he hadn’t slowed down.

CTB got forcefully pushed, just grabbed the arm pushing him. Tough call.

No Chase Brown, very bad news. We NEED a healthy Mims.

Carl just got bamboozled by Schwab again. Attention Schwab - don’t you think that poor guy has had enough? Let up on Carl a little.

Jerry Judy: “Please consider this drop on third down to be my resignation.”

Browns so far - gave up a couple sacks, threw a pick six, shanked a punt.
