Ok, I can forgive some of the older Godzilla movies due to some of the more recent ones out there.

Just watched Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. Loved it !!

You have to know what you are getting into with this one, but I was entertained for a full two hours. Nice…

Yuuuup. Also this is Bengalszone’s last 18 or so months in about 4 minutes.

 

[ArmyBengal]

Pretty much us…

Yeah last season sucked and the defense was horrible.    I don't blame anyone not willing to extend the defense any props coming into 2024.   I do think it has a very good chance to rebound up into the top 15 this year.

I think Wilson, Pratt, and Hendrickson are underrated nationally.   Logan Wilson has tied for the league lead in INT by LB two out of last 3 seasons.   Trey tied league leader in sacks.   Pratts has a ton of key turnovers.   These three factors having top seasons could vault the defense back into the top half of the league.

Then the secondary has a ton of potential and Lou has gotten the best out of a group of relative spare parts before (except Bates) Now he has legit players that are also athletes. 

D-line outside of Henderickson has something to prove but has guys you reasonable can hope for improvement.

Just your weekly reminder...

Three weeks from today is the Hall of Fame game.

I now return you to your boring ass life without football.

*searches "Bengals" on YouTube for the 307th time this month, finds nothing but the same old bullshit, groans, and continues drifting through space until football arrives*

[HoosierCat]

All right, fine. You two want some good old fashioned bitching and moaning? Here ya go.

Hey, Katie, camp starts in nine days and our first round pick is still not signed! Think you can get off your bony ass and do your job? 27 other teams have managed to do it.

What's that? Dallas Turner is still not signed at 17, so if you signed Mims now you might pay a few cents more than you had too? Well, ain’t you a chip off the old skinflint box.

That little fucker probably had it coming for shitting in your yard anyway.

So irritating when I get logged out of Bengalszone and then have to log back in. I’m typing this from my phone but can’t log back in on my desktop.

I’ve tried everything I can remember or try. Thoughts anyone?

Might be a long-shot, but it worked for me once:

At the log-in screen, don't use your actual email address. Bengalszone automatically generates an "email" based upon your username. My old username from when I was a ridiculous overposting teenager was "TDB", and I was able to log in with "tdb@bengalszone.net" in the email field. Maybe "armybengal@bengalszone.net" will work for you. The password might still be an adventure.

May not work, I dunno. It's a strange system.

What error message are you getting when you try to log in on desktop?

[ArmyBengal]

Wrong email and password

How’s that finger healing Army?

Pretty good actually.
Thanks for asking.

It was my left hand so the stranger has had some time off.

LMAO !!

Weird. Email on your account is a Gmail one, three letters (your initials I assume) and 4 numbers, that the one you are using?

[ArmyBengal]

Yep

[HoosierCat]

Let me see if I have any problem on my laptop when I get in to work today.

[ArmyBengal]

I haven’t messed with it all weekend, so I will give it a try and see about resetting the password again. Thanks for looking into it !!

[ArmyBengal]

Ok and I'm back up and running on my desktop.
Appreciate the help gentlemen !!  

[ArmyBengal]

So no long term deal for Higgins it appears.
Not like we didn't see that one coming a mile away.
While it sucks, because I like Tee so much, it's a part of how things play out.
Just win one this year while he's still on the roster.

[HoosierCat]

Yup, this was the most predictable outcome from day one.

Now let's get Mims signed. Kid needs all the reps he can get.

[HoosierCat]

This seems like a pretty fair assessment.
