Steelers getting trucked. 14-0, Ravens running it down their throats.

You’d hear media guys saying he was equal to or better than Burrow. Never again. The Steelers look gross. Ravens went 95 yards with their first possession for a td. TJ Watt can be seen between plays buying steroids in bulk.

Agreed, both sides with huge mistakes, mental errors, etc.

Watching the Texans game, I’m going to watch the Ravens/Steelers game tonight. So far CJ Stroud looks way better than he did earlier in the year. He’s extremely accurate. Mixon is making some huge mistakes. Harbaugh sporting his trademark SMHO look - (Stupified, Mouth Hanging Open).

Same. In fact I scratch my head when I see all these coordinators touted as hot head coach prospects. It’s a different job and there are about a million examples of good coordinators who just couldn’t make the transition to HC. There is a school of thought that special teams coaches make very good HC candidates because they see and monitor the whole game. They understand situational football, because they are always dealing with the consequences of it. John Harbaugh was a special teams guy and is a good head coach. If Eberflus can do here what he did in Indy, he’d be a huge success.

This dude just showed up on social media as being considered. Jeremy Fowler tweeted that Eberflus is “involved” in the DC search. Eberflus meets some of the criteria Zac listed. He wants someone experienced. Eberflus did a very good job stepping into a similar situation at the Colts. I’ll just copy and paste a few lines from his wiki: “Eberflus was credited with instilling an "ultra-demanding culture of hustle, discipline and teamwork"[10] that ultimately helped turn the Colts around from a 4–12 team in 2017 to a 10–6 playoff team, reaching the AFC Divisional Playoff Round. Inheriting a defense that finished No. 30 in the NFL in both scoring defense (25.2 points allowed per game) and total defense (367.1 yards allowed per game) in 2017, Eberflus turned the defense around in just one season, to rank No. 10 in scoring defense (21.5 points allowed per game) and No. 11 in total defense (339.4 yards allowed per game) in 2018.”

I think it’s up to Hendrickson. If his agent wants to pound the table and lean on this season’s sack lead, then I could see him getting traded. If the bengals need money look at Hubbard, Cappa, and Sheldon Rankins. They could easily cut all 3 of those guys and free up some major cash. I don’t know where they’ll find a starting guard and a rotational d-end.

Let’s see: falls asleep in meetings, doesn’t bother to learn the playbook, no show/no calls to a walkthrough before what was to be his big breakout game, gets evicted from his home, and gets into a police-involved altercation with his girl. Drug problem, alcohol problem, or a personality disorder that renders him an irredeemable idiot. Doesn’t really matter which, this dude should be unceremoniously cut.

Raiders are going to ask Tom Brady who they should hire. It is unbelievable to me the way both Fox football and Mark Davis have genuflected to this dude. He was a good quarterback, that’s it. He’s a mediocre announcer, Fox paid him $375 million before he even called one game. Mark Davis is supposedly going to put great weight on Brady’s recommendation. What does Brady know about all these coaching candidates? Probably not much.

Supposedly Zac offered the DC job to Dennis Allen way back when, was turned down, and then hired Lou. Allen has a track record as a successful DC. Other than that, I don’t know anything about him other than he’s on Army’s “Do Not Want” list.

Lions for the NFC. For the AFC? I know we’re supposed to hate teams in our division, but I like watching Lamar play. Texans and Ravens. Would be great to see Pittsburgh just completely fall on their faces. Get blown out. Tomlin will have to fire off 100 cliches in the post season presser. Hopefully the Chargers’ team bus will fall off a bridge somewhere on their way to the stadium in Houston. Harbaugh is not what he claims to be.

Supposedly Saleh is well respected as a defensive coordinator. The last time Zac hired a DC and offensive line coach, the jobs weren’t super attractive. We should have the best DC candidates in the league lining up to take this DC job. Just get our defense up to average and you are on a Super Bowl candidate team. The last guy who had this job was getting constantly glossed for head coaching jobs on tv. Will be a deep pool of high level guys this time. They better get a good one.

I’m shocked by these firings. 1. the defense. The status quo wasn’t an option I guess. Can’t fire the whole defensive roster, so goodbye coach. 2. Pollack benefited a ton from following Jim Turner who, along with the team’s 6-25-1 record while he was handling the line, distinguished himself as one of the least likable people in the nfl, and that’s saying something. Guys with legitimate nfl careers were retiring off the bengals rather than play for Turner. Pollack is a decent human being and had 5 years here and he was never Jim Turner the whole time he was here. Best of luck to you Frank Pollack and thank you.

Bengals can never win a Super Bowl? Let me jump in my Time Machine, look we were a couple plays away from winning one a few years ago.

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.
