It’s actually a really subdued performance from Johnson. Very little of the normal Rock humor stuff, though he does get a few lines but they’re all played deadpan. The real problem I had was that the big action scenes are almost all spoiled by poor use of slow-mo. If you cut out all the slow-mo you could solve the problem that the film’s 30 minutes too long.

He blew it this week too.

The old saying “when it comes to division games, throw out the records” is an old saying for a reason. Weird stuff happens in all those games.

On my list for next weekend once the crowds die down a bit. Finally caught Black Adam today. Too damn long, like all the comic book movies these days it seems, but I liked it overall.

Chrisman may get the call vs Pitt. Overdue imo. https://www.bengals.com/news/drue-chrisman-if-called-ready-for-nfl-debut

Sorry. Phones and internet all down at work today.

The 2005 line was one of the best in team history, if not the best. I think Carson took around 12 sacks the whole year. They were dominant. And then it all fell apart. First Buckethead broke a leg and that was all for him. The parade of horribles that would try to replace him through the years has already been listed. Then they let Steinbach walk because they don’t pay guards. Instead they gave 5/25 to an aging Willie Anderson who only collected on the firs 2 of those 5. Levi Jones got 6/30 if memory serves and collected for 3 before his knees completely gave out (which he blamed on the Bengals’ medical staff). And then, of course, came Moobs. And not long after that Carson quit. I still have nightmares about the oline in the latter half of the Aughts.

Yeah, Baltimore wasn’t particularly dominating, but Dalton didn’t get a lot of help. Saints couldn’t run the ball when it mattered and the NO oline couldn’t keep Andy clean. And the play calling was chickenshit; what was the point of the two FGs? Go for it, you have nothing to lose! That said when Andy did have a chance he choked, like that miss of a wide open receiver in the end zone.

WINTERCEPTION!!! That’s it folks good night

Vintage. Like a fine aged milk.

Just missed

The castaways got to Gilligans island in less time than this drive

1 yard pass on 3rd and 3…this game is freaking traumatizing

Did ok that time. Time for more shennANDYgyns.

Doink

So let’s review: can’t run the ball, oline sucks, d leaves guys wide open in the end zone more or less…Andy must feel right at home.

Once again no help

almost a WINTERCEPTION!

Lamar sucks

Andy with a nice scramble pass but getting no help. Kamara can’t get going, oline allowing free rusher on third and long. Punt.

8-8 vs. Baltimore as a Bengal, 0-2 since. https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/andy-dalton-record-vs-baltimore-ravens

IIRC the team wanted him to have surgery and thought he could come back faster that way, but Palmer was all, “naw dawg Imma just let it heal by itself” and more or less just took himself out of the season. And tbf his oline boasted the likes of the Dancing Bear, Scott Kooistra and Guy-check. I wouldn’t have been in a hurry to return either.

Yeah good luck with that. https://www.thedrawplay.com/comic/dr-dalton-and-mr-andy/

Well, given the example of Tesla, those replacement parts would be built shoddily in a Chinese factory and prone to spontaneous combustion, so I’d probably pass…

Meanwhile in Indianapolis… https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nfl/colts/2022/11/07/indianapolis-colts-news-jeff-saturday-named-interim-head-coach-frank-reich-fired-jim-irsay/69626985007/
