Two Monday, one Thursday, four 4 pm games. Plus the Saturday NYE game against KC. Week 7 bye.

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

Nope, good catch, that’s another one. We play Pitt, followed by Bill-Chargers that day.

They need to focus on the fast start this year especially. If ready to go, unlike last year, they could go 6-0 heading into the bye week. I like how this shakes out with a first take on it.

[Stripes]

14-3

Three losses in the [@Browns, @49ers, @Ravens, @Steelers, @Chiefs, vs. Bills] pile

[HoosierCat]

Couple interesting notes:

Bengals have the least travel miles of any team this year, 11,942. Hags have the most at 31,600.

Bengals reportedly offered to play Black Friday and make it annual tradition like Detroit and Dallas on Thanksgiving. League passed.

- They don't play more than 2 games consecutively on the road, I like that breakup of games.
- I would prefer a later bye week than week 7, but you never know how those shake out.
- I like getting the Colts and Vikings (2 dome teams) at home in December.
- With the exception of the lone Thursday game, there aren't any other short turn arounds.
- We get the 49er's after our bye and them coming off a Monday night game (Vikings).

I'm calling 2023, 14-3 and the #1 seed in the AFC if everyone stays relatively clean.
No real reason to think why they won't be competing for the Super Bowl again.

Apparently the idea of the Bengals hosting the annual Black Friday game is still on the table, though apparently now the Jets want it, too. Since sponsor/broadcast partner Amazon like big markets, I’d say they have the inside track if the league chooses to go with that strategy.

One wild card playoff game will be exclusive to streaming (Peacock) this season.

[AMPHAR]

Streaming was like awesome about 10 years ago.   Now they've gone and fucked that up. 

[ArmyBengal]

I had pea-cock for a little while.  Some nasty shit I picked up while in Thailand for a quick stop back in the day.
Fortunately antibiotics still worked and it ran it's course without incident.  Certainly nothing I would pay to get again.

Then again, we may be talking about something completely different...

[HoosierCat]

Preseason sked out. Just the one home game vs GB August 11.

You know your team is playing well when you can't get preseason tickets for under $10.

Either way, we will be at the Green Bay game.  First chance to get back down in the stadium, hear the crowd again, and see some of the youngsters out there.

Less than 3 months from today !!!
FUCK YEAH !!!

[membengal]

Yo. You can have my preseason tix again Army…

[ArmyBengal]

I would be more than happy to grab them up Mem. Just let me know. 

[membengal]

They are yours. Same two seats as last year.

[ArmyBengal]

Thank you sir. 
Those seats really are great !!
