Also a Saturday Dec. 23 slot against the Steelers - or is everyone playing that day?

Looks navigable at first glance. If healthy, let's say 13-4.

And when I say "stuff like this" I am referring to CBS highlighting that on their national morning show and having James Brown on to push it and the whole framing over "what makes this rivalry special" which just takes for granted that we are past the point where people express surprise to see the Bengals talked of in such a way and just jump to talking about them as an elite team that of course people want to see. I mean...that is night and day from where we were three years ago. And sometimes I find myself amazed at how far things have come. Thanks Burrow.

The 4:25 windows are the national games of interest windows. So, yeah, it is a Sunday game but will go to more than 80% of the country in the 4:25 slot.

Sometimes I see stuff like this and have to stop and marvel at how far we have come from, say, three years ago...

This is genuinely well done - good on the mayor for owning the incident

Oh ffs.

you really think it's retain Flowers or we can't cover TEs? Is that your thesis? I mean, the NFL sure left Flowers out there a long fucking time, but, sure, letting him go was clearly stupid.

you cannot seriously react like this every time there is changeover. Flowers was LITERALLY a cut pickup from the Seahawks mid-year 2021. You think he was all that before we picked him up? Or maybe, just maybe, does LouA and this staff have an ability to teach and scheme this stuff up? You really think Flowers is not replaceable? REALLY?

You know we have hill and battle and Jones and Scott and Turner etc etc etc , right? there wasn’t even room for flowers in that room after the draft and free agency

Literal LouA teaching videos - he really is a clear communicator…

I guess this can go here? Question to Albert Breer today -

Huh. I think Seimian way better than Allen. Like, a lot better.

Discussion over

I mean, so did Brandon Allen...

I wasn't attacking you , but responding to your strawman rejoinder. Bengals CLEARLY didn't want to trade up and reach for a TE. They wanted to accumulate a draft pick(s) not relinquish them. Just noting, for all of the consternation from bengals world over the TE room - this is NOT an offense that is TE highlighted in any manner in terms of the passing game. If a dynamic pass-catcher came into the room, they would actually have to adjust their approach - which, I am sure, they can - but a guy like Mayer clearly was not valued as such a guy by the coaches. Maybe Kincaid might have been, but he was gone. Maybe LaPorta but no way in hades they were gonna burn picks to move from 60 to the high 30s to secure him.

Along those lines..
