Sad but true. Also hilarious.

It started in camp and has lasted into the season much further than it should have.

Cam running his mouth has been nothing but a curse.  Reading his own press, getting the big head, whatever.
He clearly had something happen with him that has led to his drastic fall off this season.
I came into things this year feeling like, "At least we have Cam" and now I'm like, "You fucking suck".

Germaine Pratt was pissed about Cam's play last week and then Lou dimes his ass out as well.
I don't know what got into Cam, but it's been like a cancer for the defense and in turn, hurt the team.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not putting all this on him, put he should be a stabilizing force and been anything but.

The defense seemingly forgetting that it's "tackle" football and being good at tackling is kind of a priority is concerning.
Vonn Bell aging 15 years hasn't helped.  Geno Stone, "Best pick up of free agency" has been hot garbage at best.
Sam Hubbard is sadly done.  The DT's aren't great or they are young (Exception to BJ Hill).

Bottomline for me to this point is FUCK YOU LOU and EAT A DICK CAM !!

I'd love to get a big name on defense

However, I'd rather get 2-3 above average DL and/or defensive backfield players in the mod to late 20's

especially pass rush

[TJJackson]

The big three said before Joe's contract that the three of them would work it out so that they could all stay and win championships

Then came Joey's contract

and no, he charged market rate, leaving Chase and Tee in limbo

I like Joe, I do, but this broken promise really really really pissed me off

Someday, someone is going to look back on the contracts Brady took from the Patriots and not be perplexed.

Even with the defense as it is Army, if McPherson makes those kicks this year, he used to always make, they’d be 9-2 with Burrow a runaway for MVP!

[ArmyBengal]

Mac has certainly struggled but his misses can’t account for that many games. Had the defense resembled half of what they previously had been under Lou, no one would care about the misses.

That being said, Mac need to pull his head out of his ass.

[ArmyBengal]

Hate the Browns and really hate the Steelers and had next to zero interest in watching that game last night.

However, if didn't enjoy watching that football game in all that freakin' snow, you don't have a soul.

It was a great game.  Myles Garrett is on another level.

Annnd here we are back to the old bye week jokes.  Let me start.

I know it's the bye week, but somehow the defense is still going to find a way to completely fuck everything up and when trying to figure out what happened, Zac is going to say, "We have to find a way to finish, we can't have bye weeks ending like this".

And as hard as it is to believe, the Bengals shitty play actually has cost them during their bye week.
Their week 16 primetime game on Thursday night in the Battle of Ohio and Stripe the Jungle, has been flexed out to that Sunday at 1pm.
Mind you, this is THE FIRST TIME in NFL history a game has been flexed out of a Thursday night spot.

Personally I don't care all that much, but took amusement in the fact that even on their bye week they fucked up.
Well done Bengals !!

Means that we go from having a mini bye before facing Denver, to Denver having the mini bye before facing us

Exactly.

That might the first time in NFL history for that to happen as well.

I blame Lou…

[Stripes]

I think losing a Thursday night game is actually winning.

[TJJackson]

I too hate thursday night games

Thanksgiving is ok as an exception, but the every week ones are bad for player health

[COB]

Just looked at the tv map to see what games we’d be getting in central Ohio today.  All I can say is Jesus fucking Christ I am tired of seeing the Chiefs.  They’re on every week.

 

Thankfully they’re the early game on CBS, and FOX mercifully decided to give us Detroit vs Indy in the same time slot.  Love watching Detroit so thank you FOX!

Fox late game is SF vs Green Bay, with FOX show pony Tom Brady trying and failing to be a relatable, normal, human.  We see a lot of SF as well but with the way they’re staggering around this year they’re pretty fun to watch.  

[TJJackson]

Detroit is my second team, because Mr Reader and Mr Sewell are on that team

As a reminder, I was on Team Sewell, not Team Chase

GIMME A LINEMAN

(but Chase is pretty good too, hehe)
