Well, that’s all in the past now after he cheered real good on the sideline. Fire Lou.

Picked up a db.

Jets fire GM. Wish we could do that. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/42487178/sources-jets-fire-gm-joe-douglas-amid-woeful-season

So, what’s the thinking down at good ol’ PBS this week? Seriously, that’s Zac’s plan. We’re just one play away. Every week. That doesn’t happen. Consistently. Stay the course! What we’re doing isn’t working and by God we’re gonna keep doing it! That’s the answer! Sigh. Remember, the FO is paying $4.5 million a year for this guy. Through 2026.

OBj and Mims are fine. Karras is wearing down but is still serviceable, and Lee behind him is promising. The problem is at guard. Volson is sub-replacement level and Cappa is a shell of his former self, no idea what happened there. Given that we are now down to evaluation time, they should bench Volson, slide Karras to G and insert Lee so we can see if he can be the center of the future. ETA in addition to getting Lee into the lineup I agree with all of Jason’s suggestions here: https://www.cincyjungle.com/2024/11/19/24299897/2024-bengals-season-salvage-wreckage

153 combined yards, 3 TDs. On pace for his best year by far even though he missed several games. Bengals bookface broke out into another argument last night, of course. Somehow, I don’t find the comeback that “if Mixon were here he would suck because our oline isn’t built to run block” quite the knockout it’s proponents do. Especially after a game that demonstrated they can’t pass protect, either.

Speaking of next year, while I always hate rooting for the Cowboys, a win tonight would bump us up to 10 in the draft. https://tankathon.com/nfl As for who to take, both cbs and tankathon’s mocks have them selecting Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty. I don’t see it, but it would be soooo Bengals to 1. Cut your star RB because $ 2. Sign a cheap FA RB 3. FA gets hurt, so trade a late draft pick for a RB 4. Bench new RB after he fumbles on his first carry 5. Waste more $ on taxi squad RBs 6. Use first round pick on RB and pay him more money than your star RB (see 1. above) was making

Looks like Turner is done for the season. Fractured clavicle. https://www.cincyjungle.com/2024/11/18/24299692/dj-turner-clavicle-injury-update-cincinnati-bengals-injuries

Fantastic work, COB! 10/10, no notes.

Today's fun fact:

I do have to say that the futility of this season is something special. I mean, so far they've lost seven games, only one of which (the Eagles game) has been by more than one score. Hell, two of the games were one-point losses. You would expect that random chance would have bounced their way once or twice, but no. Nope, nope, nope. Every week it's an avalanche and they can't do a thing about it. It has to change next year. Burrow turns 28 in about 3 weeks. They can't dick around for another year or two while they wait for Zac Failor's contract to expire. Joe's prime is now and it's slipping away with every loss. Sigh. But we all know it won't happen...

Preach on, brother. No lies detected. The whole organization is broken right now. Re Ja'Marr, every time the went to him on the bench last night you could see the frustration. He clearly could not wait to get out of there. If I'm him I'm thinking that maybe not getting a deal done last spring was a blessing in disguise. I know he and Joe are two peas in a pod but he has to be wondering if this shitshow is worth any more of his time. And to my eye it looks like they're destroying Burrow too. He's too much of a competitor to quit, but he clearly knows he's getting no help from the FO and the coaching staff has no clue.

As we head into the holiday season, I would like to wish everyone on this board Happy Holidays, and to the players, coaches and front office of the Cincinnati Bengals, a very Merry Go Fuck Yourselves.

“I hope you appreciate that I told Zac to let them score on the final drive so your two misses wouldn’t matter. Now, I had to drive the Lumina through some dirty water earlier this week and it got under the rear bumper. Pity that. Here’s a toothbrush, hope you can clean that out for me. Spit spot and all that, chum!” (Mike turns and zips away on his cart while whistling “Spoonful of Sugar” from Mary Poppins.)

McPherson = trash

Lou has to be fired. I know, he doesn’t have shit to work with, but he has to go.

Game. Bring on the draft.

Ah well

As I said…

Broke Mac

Gotta score first

Ah Chase was wide open

I hate this team I hate this game I hate this sport I hate this planet I hate existence. Go bengals.

Lucky lucky lucky

Of course.
