COB

Is this correct or did you mean to say sign Chase?

Really an accurate comparison. Early Super Bowl loss, years pass with great qb with great receivers. Nothingness.

Wicked takedown of Mike by a writer in the Enquirer. Among other things, he wrote: “The Cincinnati Bengals lost 27-6 to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday afternoon That's the staffing number difference between the football personnel departments of the franchises. The Steelers have 21 more people evaluating prospective future draft picks and free agents than the Bengals.”

Thinking about getting a couple outfits like Elvis used to wear. Kind of like a cape thing, seriously popped collar. Going to be looking good as a 62-year-old headed down to the IGA to get some black beans and ground turkey! Also some milk.

Dehner just posted an absolute takedown of the defense. Said no one should be safe, Lou must go. Also mentioned the following : (Quoting his article) “Nine of the Bengals’ last 11 top-100 picks came on the defensive side. They aren’t developing. Find a name on the list that has made a positive career progression this year. Maybe two. • 2024 Kris Jenkins (No. 46 pick) • 2024 McKinnley Jackson (97) • 2023 Myles Murphy (28) • 2023 DJ Turner (60) • 2023 Jordan Battle (95) • 2022 Dax Hill (30) • 2022 Cam Taylor-Britt (60) • 2022 Zach Carter (95) • 2021 Joseph Ossai (69) They must get more out of the young players. For two years, that hasn’t happened. Name a young defensive player you confidently build around. Name a defensive player that you confidently slot in as a starter in 2025. The list is on one hand and it’s not offering a high-five.” 9 out of 11 of our highest picks? Find me a bridge from which to jump. This kind of drafting, done in long chunks, cripples organizations like the Bengals. Remember our run on offensive linemen? Wrecked our line for years. He also mentioned our free agents this year, Von Bell, Sheldon Rankins, and Geno Stone. You would almost have to try to whiff so bad on so many draft picks and free agents. Systemic failure from top to bottom.

It truly feels like we’re headed into a ‘90s style slump. Missing badly on draft picks, mentally weak team, bad coaching, losing the physical battle at the line, getting invited behind woodsheds by cranky old-timers. The whole thing. We are not serving Gary Reasons.

Fencman, this is a five star review of the bengals. You are the man.

This franchise can’t be fixed. A culture emerged during the 90s when Mike was desperately hoarding money to buy out all the minority owners, a culture that valued fiscal austerity over everything else. That culture is woven into the fabric of the bengals. Sell the team.

Zac Taylor master class. Use all your timeouts early so you can’t stop the clock while the other team is salting the game away.

Mike Brown accepts mediocrity. Zac Taylor embodies mediocrity.

Fire Zac Taylor. This team is never ready to play. He’s just not a head coach. If he wants to call plays so badly and burnish his reputation as some sort of offensive savant, let him get a job as an OC somewhere.

Mike knows so much more than everyone else about football, he’ll see that change is futile. Run the whole staff back.

Our tackle set up for a short drop, our QB took a deep drop, their end just ran around our guy. New coaching staff needed.

Why do you throw on 3rd and 1 when you need to run the clock? You are in a last possession situation. Zac Taylor absolutely has no feel for momentum or situational football. It’s why he loses close games.

There’s our Russel Wilson!

Well things are officially not going my way these days. That buckeye game was just another load of shit on the shit pile. TJ Watt is probably setting a world record for steroid consumption this week and will drop about 50 sacks on us tomorrow. Jesus fucking Christ.

Proof the NFL is the toughest sport to bet: Pertinent betting info as the Steelers come to Cincinnati on Sunday: Bengals are 1-4 at home. Steelers are 4-2 on the road. Bengals are 4-7 on the year and are drifting into Palookaville. Next stop; irrelevance. Steelers are 8-3 on the year, leading the division and are certainly a playoff team. Bengals head coach is an uninspiring technocrat who doesn’t understand situational football. He’s an offensive coordinator. Face: often looks bewildered, mouth somewhat hangs open. Steelers head coach is a poser who somehow actually gets the best out of his players. Biggest accomplishment is kept the saddle cinched up on Ben Roethlisberger as he rode him to a Super Bowl win. Since then he’s been posing for the cameras. Face: eminently punchable, keep the mirrored aviators as a souvenir. All this to point out that the bengals are 3 point favorites in this game. Just makes no sense.

Zac took notes on that bears end of game clock management. Coming to a bengals loss near you.

Steelers suck, we seriously need to win this game. That game they lost to the Browns revealed that Russel Wilson is not as great as the media would have us believe. He looked pretty mortal. We’ll see what he can do when he’s dealing with Hendrickson(triple teamed), Hubbard(blocked by the equipment guy), and our defensive backfield(running in random directions, sometimes AWAY from open receivers).

It’s creamed corn season so if you go to Golden Corral you better get there before I do (meaning I’ll eat all the creamed corn before you even arrive).

I wasn’t clear, I meant I am pessimistic. This team can only beat bad teams. They don’t start games well and they don’t end games well. Not a recipe for success.

Pessimistic.

Just looked at the tv map to see what games we’d be getting in central Ohio today. All I can say is Jesus fucking Christ I am tired of seeing the Chiefs. They’re on every week. Thankfully they’re the early game on CBS, and FOX mercifully decided to give us Detroit vs Indy in the same time slot. Love watching Detroit so thank you FOX! Fox late game is SF vs Green Bay, with FOX show pony Tom Brady trying and failing to be a relatable, normal, human. We see a lot of SF as well but with the way they’re staggering around this year they’re pretty fun to watch.

It was a great game. Myles Garrett is on another level.
