Week 9: Bengals @ Falcons (Madrid)

[ArmyBengal]

Yeah sitting in the basement at 4-4 and no QB isn't exactly the spot you want to be in.
It should be interesting to see if they do what the Bengals won't do when it appears shit is done and just call it for the year.
No, we have to go all "Dead Cat Bounce" and wreck our draft pick for the following year.

That all being said, I'm no fan of the Ravens and don't mind seeing them sitting where they are.

[ArmyBengal]

I have to say I'm not a fan of the games overseas, unless I could be there, which I'm not.

Something about a game starting at 9:30am Cincinnati time doesn't really excite me.
Hell, I'm half awake and trying to get my body to understand the concept of being out of bed.
Back hurts and my knees keep yelling "FUCK YOU" at me for some reason.
If I yell at the TV that early I might sprain a pancreas or some shit.

Really wish I had gone to this game.  Circumstances didn’t seem right so I didn’t go, now as things have worked out it would have been fine had I gone.  Live and learn I guess.  

I like the early international games.  I’m also a slow am starter, but I just turn those games on at 9:30 or whenever and drink coffee.  
 

I turn on the NFL Network every Sunday morning anyway to look at Colleen Wolf.  If no Colleen, there is a game.  It all works out.

I like a 930 start because I don’t have to wait for noon to start drinking.

Per schefty they’re now trading for Jacoby Brisset, who I’m sure is the answer to the question, how can we fukk up by the numbers?

[Stripes]

I guess I'd better figure out how I am going to watch this game. BW3s ain't open at 7:30 AM MST.

[HoosierCat]

Multiple bars opening early Sunday if google is to be believed.

Ouch and I thought 9:30am was bad.
Good luck my friend.

My best option might be ihop. I’m sure the 80 year old women enjoying their breakfast will appreciate my screaming.

Bring some pom poms for them and tell them to either get with it or shut the fuck up.
They REALLY appreciate that.

The unfortunately named Joe Fagnano is starting at QB for the Ravens.  Al Michaels gleefully repeating the strange fact that Fagnano somehow played 7 years of college football.

Yeah, I was checking out some ravens forums the other day and they generally refer to him as “Fags.” This has created something of an issue since as a card-carrying woke DEI Democrat I may be obligated to root for “Fags” to win the Super Bowl on principle. Going to have to check the bylaws and see what they say…

[COB]

Status as player on bengals’ division rival supersedes having name that is a gay slur, therefore you are under no obligation to root for  “Fags.” 
 

Other topic: hate watched the Ravens throwing up on themselves on national tv.  7 minutes left, down 33-9, under appreciated DE Trey Hendrickson - no sacks, no tackles, no assists.  In fact he again is not listed on the defensive stat sheet due to complete lack of stats.

Falcons rule out RB Brian Robinson Jr.

Great read from La Canfora on what a bust he’s been: https://www.si.com/nfl/ravens/onsi/the-ravens-anointed-trey-hendrickson-as-a-30m-year-closer-turns-out-he-s-an-opener-01m6mqe2m76c

[ArmyBengal]

While I typically wish former players luck, Trey and Ravens are getting everything they deserve.  The Ravens thought they were going to hurt a division rival and Trey was happy to be going where he felt wanted.

The Bengals never missed a beat and are better off without Trey. The Ravens thought wrong and are getting nothing out of Trey. 

At least Trey should be able to feed his family for the next 10-12 months. So there’s that.

Douche…

That was absolutely delicious.  30 million a year and La Canfora said the only way to make Hendrickson effective in the 4th quarter is pitch count him, play him less.  Nice 30 million dollar player.  He already doesn’t play running downs.  I guess you just have to save him for those big moments in the second half, lol.
