Hey Battle makes a play.

Moss out today. Neck injury. Rumor mill says it’s bad he may got to IR. https://www.cincyjungle.com/2024/11/3/24286762/report-zack-moss-to-miss-significant-time-could-go-on-ir

The Burton thing pisses me off to no end. I mean, how long have we talked about the Bengals and drafting guys with character issues? Like, decades, right? And to their credit they finally appeared to learn their lesson and it hasn’t been an issue for years now. But here we are again. They decided to spend a premium pick on a guy with known issues — because they didn’t want to pay the good player they already had at that position — and now they need him but won’t play him because of exactly those issues they knew about when the picked him. If you are going to take these guys knowing they’re fools and then don’t play them when they act like fools, who is the real fool?

I’ll believe it when I see it. https://www.cincyjungle.com/2024/11/2/24286216/bengals-nfl-trade-deadline-rumors-tee-higgins-buyers-sellers

Looking like no Higgins or Brown Sunday.

Happy Halloween, all. https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/its-the-great-parent-halloween-text-thread-charlie-brown

Higgins, OBj DNP today. Burrow declares game a must-win.

Burton film breakdown. Need him out there more.

Every HC has their strengths and weaknesses. The one thing I will say re Zac v Marvin is that I never thought the job was too big for Lewis. Zac, by contrast, often strikes me as out of his depth.

"Some day, we'll get the right collection of players, and then we'll win." That, or very nearly that, was Mike's answer to Paul Daugherty's question about the team's strategy for building a winner in an interview a long time ago. To what extent the next generation (Katie, etc.) share this philosophy I don't know, but Mike clearly believed that success in the NFL was essentially random. You hit on a draft or two, get an easy schedule, don't lose key guys to injuries, fumbles bounce your way, weather is cooperative, etc, etc., and voila! Championship. If not, well, there's always next year. And of course there is truth to that. But as the old saying goes, the Lord helps those who help themselves. Good teams do things, like invest in scouting to make drafting less of a crapshoot, to nudge the odds in their favor. They use all the financial tools available to keep good players that they draft and develop. They attack areas of weakness in free agency. And on and on, all stuff we have talked about ad infinitum. But for The Family, it's, welp, we didn't get lucky this year. Maybe we'll get lucky next year. That's it. That's the strategy.

A 6th for Uche…sigh.

NERRRRRRRD!!!!!

The d is a rebuild candidate, including DC. Can’t get pressure, can’t cover, can’t scheme their way out of it. Again getting to the point where we need more Murphy, Jackson, Anderson, Anthony just to figure out if there’s anything there. We know Bell, Ossai, Hubbard etc aren’t the answer.
