Will prevail without fail.

Maybe our offensive staff saw this coming, but no one else did. The body of work anyone had on Browning was with all the depth guys running a very base offense in preseason. It apparently was difficult or impossible for him to show his ability in that situation. My opinion of Zac Taylor has improved significantly based on Browning’s development and performance.

Volcom said it - watching these last few games with a whatever happens attitude has been really fun. I don’t know if it’s the way they’re playing or the no expectations mindset, but it’s one of the most enjoyable stretches of bengals football I’ve watched. Playoffs - even if the changes are 33% as I saw on the tube yesterday, it makes the games interesting to have some sort of chance to get in. I also enjoy watching the dude on tv try to work through all the permutations, this team loses to that one then this third team has a chance. Guy’s up there trying to explain what is essentially derivative equations, it gets kind of funny at times. The AFC is a marvel this year. The NFC is a half vacant strip mall.

The avalanche of hypocritical self-pitying screeching coming from Steeler nation may reach critical mass before we play them Saturday. If it does, and sets off a nuclear kablosion, steeler fans will disappear. Left behind will be some used scratch offs (all losers), unpaid child support notices, Meemaw’s old dentures, and a stadium giveaway terrible towel from 1988.

Minkah out for sure. Cam Heyward in concussion protocol, so he’s a wait and see guy. Ja’Marr separated his shoulder yesterday, they tried to MRI it today but he was in so much pain he couldn’t put it in whatever position they needed for the MRI, so he’ll try again tomorrow. Sounds very unpromising for Saturday. Though I will say, Ja’Marr’s physicality is freakish. You never know.

The nfl just suspended Steelers starting safety Damontae Kazee for the rest of the season. So they’ll be missing both starting safeties Saturday. Kazee just can’t stop cheap shotting guys. They’re probably putting him in the Pittsburgh hall of fame right now.

Wow I just read that column by Mark Madden that Hoosier embedded in the first post above. What an absolute no holds barred takedown of Tomlin and truly the organization as a whole. Delightful.

Jax kicker falling on face.

“Here’s a guy…”

Tomlin can stay as long as he wants. George Pickens couldn’t care less about football, and Tomlin is cool with that. Let the spiral continue!

Check out this murderers row of opponents: Giants Jets Patriots Chargers Rams Giants (again) Panthers Commanders Eagles Those are the Cowboys wins thus far this year. They are, as they always are, pretenders.

Now that we see Brownjng with the 1s, (thought he was trash after watching his preseason with depth guys running vanilla), those first three games when Burrow couldn’t move and we got smoked, well, those first three games are haunting us now.

Not getting much help from Chicago and Tennessee. We’ll see what the cowboys can do for us.

It will be a good day. Yesterday was a very good day of football.

Eisen continues to second guess Tomlin. Delicious.

Doink! Ha ha, Mason Rudolph statement game coming up!

Trey Sermon having a big game, happy for him.

Truchokesky throws a pick, Mason Rudolph warming up!

Colts ran the ball 13 straight times on the Steelers D, field goal.

He’s a good dude, stuck with us. I hope we can work something out.

Torn quadriceps tendon for DJ Reader. Very tough injury.

Tomlin getting ripped for that decision as the Colts drive down the field after the punt. Get the aviators out, time to mean mug it!

Kurt Warner and Rich Eisen are great on the game call. They are by far my favorite announcing duo.

Thwack! /Dentures fly across the table/
