Just looked at our schedule. Coming up we have Giants, Browns, Eagles, Raiders, Ravens. We could run the table on those 5, we end up 6-4 as we head out west to play the Chargers. There is hope.

Depression sets in.

100% agree. Mike seems to think there is some sort of honor and integrity in managing your cap in the most transparent and straightforward way possible. The game has moved on. Other teams re-do deals to manage the cap hit. They engage in all sorts of contractual gymnastics to field the best team while complying with the spending controls. You know what? It’s a lot of work. Mike and company are not up to it. The Brown family really should sell the team. They have a multi billion dollar fortune all tied up in one asset. It is truly insane. Sell it, invest it across many sectors and thousands of businesses, and you are not at such great risk. It is kind of sad. Mike desperately wanted to win a Super Bowl. His own stubborn, intractable, nature will ultimately prevent him from doing so. How appropriate that his legacy could be: finally got one of the best QBs in the game, 1970s style roster management still keeps the team in also ran status.

For those of us that are Buckeye fans: Harken back to the 2022 bowl game against Georgia. Winner goes to the nati and likely wins. We’re down 1, a minute or so left. We’re chunking down the field. We get to the outer limit of our guys range, and fucking idiot Ryan Day quits, calls 3 time killing runs, and our guy misses a 50 yarder. Yes, our genius was literally playing for a 50 yarder. Today felt just like that. Taylor feels like Day.

Now rumors are flying that the Steelers are trying to get him.

Zac Carter just got cut.

Adams wants out of Vegas, supposedly hinting around that he’s headed to Baltimore. We’ll see.

Watching it as well. Early on they showed the highlights of the game Mayfield, having been with the Rams two days, went berserk on prime time and lead them on a 90 yard game winning drive against the Raiders. All I could think was, how in the world were the bengals not on the receiving end of that one? Completely fits our MO. So glad we dodged that.

There is no way those two would be anywhere close in weight, so it’s got to be other opponents.

I enjoyed reading that. Sheeran kind of repeats himself, but all is forgiven because he described our defense against the Ravens as dealing with: “multiple calamities”

DJ Reader just got a sack on Geno Smith. Good to see Reader healthy. Ravens -,we have to sell out to stop their running game. If we can force Lamar to throw we can get them into our game. If we let them run, hold the ball, and reduce our number of possessions, that could make it tough on us.

That’s what I’m thinking watching this Ravens game. Hopefully our defensive coordinator has some special scheme, or a magic wand, or a Time Machine, or something.

What did you mop, what kind of floor?

Andy looks great. Where was this when we had him those last few years?

Quite a kick. Great play by Anthony and then great kick by MacPherson. Everything in between those plays was LOL.

That Anthony kid just made a huge play. Really a heads up type thing.

Dalton almost perfect with his throws. Must pressure him.

Pratt just falling down out here. Jesus.

That was a cheap holding call. Happens on a lot of routes.

Jamarr Chase is a hard nosed football player. Dude means business when he catches that ball.

They’ve gone the length of the field twice. Damn.

These announcers: “we’ll be talking about Andy Dalton exclusively during this broadcast.”

Good call on that td. Nick Scott getting abused and blamed by the announcers. Yes, we get it!

Come on offense.

Yes!
