  1. How much I fight has zero impact on the way the team plays or the outcome of any games. I would rather see THE TEAM fight. But we didn’t see that, did we? I have plenty of frustrations in my life…that I can control to some extent. Being a fan of this team often adds even more frustration that I have no control over (the uninspired play of this team; disappointing drafts; and stupid play-calling). I think as a self-preservation measure, I will (and do) detach myself from the team a bit after a shitshow like we witnessed today. Yes, we still have a shot at a post-season birth, but we FAILED to take advantage of a golden opportunity to greatly improve our post-season standings..with a pitiful display. So, while I do admire you hardcore fans and can appreciate your “we still got a chance” stance, for the betterment of my own health I need to push away a bit. If that makes me a lowly bandwagon fan, so be it. If that bothers you enough that you feel the need to call me out, then I would suggest that you put me on “ignore”.

  3. I'm sure many of you knew who Onyx was on here, some may not. His real name was Jason Holland. He and I became really close friends through this website. I would go so far as saying he was like a brother. At 1pm (ish) he was lost to Post-Covid Sepsis. He got Covid a few weeks ago but in he hospital as of last Saturday he tested negative but got Sepsis from it. He didn't make it. It was like he knew, one of the last things he said to me was that he wasn't gonna get to see Joe Burrow play, he was so exited for him, he believed he was gonna take us the playoffs this year. I am going to miss him every single day for the rest of my life. Nobody could be silly and have a quick witted sense of humor like he did. I told him in tribute that he was one of the friends that I was going to ask to be a groomsman if I ever got married. Rest in Power my friend Onyx, Jason, my brother. I love you and will miss you every single day.

  4. "They've Gotta Beat Us." What did the team learn last year? That they can win without Burrow. More important, they learned to do a few different things in order to win sans Burrow. Some of that stuff will show up as the next part of Burrow's game and the evolution of the offense. And they'll do it without compromising the stuff that Burrow likes to do best--which means we'll still see plenty of shotgun, 4 and 5 wide, etc... . So, they got Moss because he can block and run from the shotgun. They got Gesicki who is Boyd's replacement, imo. They got a tackle who will let Burrow be more comfortable in the pocket and have more time to do his magic. This off-season is about becoming more flexible on offense, imo, and they have done a pretty good job of it --on paper. Not bad moves on the defensive side of the ball, either. So, Fuck Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Baltimore--they've got to beat us.

  5. Today is Sam Wyche's birthday. January 5th. I always make a point to remember people on the anniversary of their birth rather than the random date upon which they were taken from us. We are made better when important people enter our lives, and are diminished when they depart. Let's choose to celebrate the former. Happy birthday, Coach.

  7. I don't think Burfict lost any talent. He was made the scapegoat for the NFL trying to avoid a massive CTE lawsuit. If he had played for Pittsburgh he'd likely be first ballot HoF. Instead he played for their rival and they crybullied him right out of town for the crime of giving them a mouthful of their own medicine. He just gave what he got and it's a damn shame his coach was clap-clap-clapping along while his team was getting blatantly headhunted. Maybe if Marvin had stood up for his players and pointed out the hypocrisy instead of grabbing ankles... Well who knows, it's done now but I will always think Burfict got shafted.

  9. I want nothing to do with a RB who has never played a full season with starting RB reps and who has had a major knee AND ankle injury in the last 3 years with the 3rd season cut short from yet another injury. There's got to be a better option.

  10. I think we are traveling to Pittsburgh next season which counts as a third world country.
