Well just damn .. You find no fault with this abhorrent leadership regardless how many mistakes they make. Are you biased?..😎

Yeah IDK why he doesn't turn the magic price dial down, everyone knows it's right there on his desk in the Oval Office next to the one for Coors Light. Absolutely horrible the way paying 2 entire cents more a gallon for gas is destroying America. We should probably just give up and let the Russians take over. Next thing you know they'll let women drive cars!

Hate to break it to you but you and your uncle-brothers little pipebomb factories aren't going to turn this country into a fascist fundie ignoramus hellscape that easily. I know it's reassuring to imagine a world where everyone is as stupid and hateful as you are but you're actually a lunatic fringe despite it all. Yelling louder than everyone around you in a Walmart parking lot doesn't make you a majority.

Send them to Nogales de Sonora for a weekend and watch how fast their views on "border security" change. Totalitarian hardline views like theirs can only exist in a vacuum. They've got no compassion for anybody or even room for nuance because their view of the world doesn't extend beyond the fenced-in area in front of their double-wides. It's easy to hate that much of the world because they've experienced so little of it.

I would trade the Palestinians and welcome them here if we can send the Trump supporters to Gaza.

More and more I read and see the more I am convinced there is a deep seeded racism in Israel

Ben Baby, ESPN Staff WriterMay 25, 2024, 06:00 AM ET CINCINNATI -- Typically, the most notable aspect of voluntary offseason workouts is seeing who isn't on the field. That adage remained true for the Cincinnati Bengals' offense on Tuesday. While quarterback Joe Burrow was out there working on his recovery from right wrist surgery, none of his top wide receivers was there to catch passes on a hot and muggy morning. Ja'Marr Chase was not present. Tee Higgins hasn't signed his franchise tender yet. And Tyler Boyd wasn't re-signed after his contract expired. That left the likes of rookie Jermaine Burton, veteran Trenton Irwin and last year's draft picks, Andrei Iosivas and Charlie Jones, as Burrow's top targets. And they understood the significance. For the last three years, Chase-Higgins-Boyd has been one of the league's top receiving trios. With Boyd gone and Higgins facing an uncertain future, the buildup to the 2024 season is a chance for the others on the roster to prove they can be dependable starters. "Trust is built now," Iosivas told ESPN. "Whatever you can do to get trust from everybody in the offensive room, you gotta do it." The Bengals have one current starting position available. Boyd had been the team's primary slot receiver since 2018. Irwin, Jones and Burton, a third-round pick out of Alabama, are among those who could get a look at that spot. Since coach Zac Taylor was hired in 2019, the team has predominantly been one that uses "11 personnel" -- one running back, one tight end and three wide receivers. When Burrow was healthy between Weeks 5 and 10 of last year, Cincinnati used that personnel package on 79.8% of its offensive snaps, according to NFL Next Gen Stats. That exceeded the season-long rate of 72.2% that ranked fifth in the league last year. On Monday, the team posted a video of Burrow working with Burton on items such as the spacing between the other receivers and the depth of certain routes. Burton said Burrow, who is known for his timing and accuracy, will interject as needed during a practice. "A quarterback like Joe, he's really detailed on those things," Burton said. "Those are just things you gotta pay attention to." And the aforementioned trust is a major factor, too. Irwin, a fifth-year receiver, saw his role expand last season as Higgins battled rib and hamstring injuries. Starting in place of Higgins, he had a career-high eight catches on 10 targets for 60 yards in a Week 5 win over the Arizona Cardinals. As much as winning one-on-one matchups and grasping the role in the offense is important, being in sync with Burrow is essential for any receiver looking to get more snaps, Irwin said. "One of the biggest things is being on the same page as Joe," Irwin said. "If you're on the same page as Joe, Joe can do special things and the team can do special things." While the battle to become the team's starting slot receiver will be one to watch in training camp, another potential opening is on the horizon. If Higgins is unable to reach a long-term deal with the Bengals before the July 15 deadline, which would require the sides to restart negotiations that have been dormant for over a year, the starting outside receiver would be eligible for free agency in 2025. That isn't lost on Iosivas, who knows this year will be his chance to prove he could fill that void when it arises. "I'm hoping I can get the confidence from the coaches," Iosivas said. "I'm not sure if they can pay Tee. He'll probably get a lot of money. He's a really good receiver. Hopefully I can step into that role." That's where the Bengals are at this point in the franchise. In an era when the Bengals are building around Burrow and his $55 million annual salary, Cincinnati is trying to find the right pieces to pair with its franchise quarterback. Those catching passes from him are hopeful that this offseason boosts their case to have more opportunities for an offense with championship aspirations. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/40205826/young-bengals-wrs-look-seize-opportunities

The Alamo Dome won’t cut it for the NFL. They would need something new—and there is now way public funding is going to happen.

San Antonio makes all the sense in the world. When the Saints had to place to play after Katrina, it was San Antonio that hosted them.

Or double teamed Kupp once OBJ went down....

More projection. White supremacy is a dead end, don't blame me for your failed belief systems.

Enough about his size, there were bigger players in this draft (Titans got a couple of them) and Jones and Faalele in the AFCN are bigger than Mims. What makes him special are his feet. He can pick them up and put them down very well for a tackle. Jonah was a technician but not a physical speciman. Mims is the latter, let's just hope Pollack can develop him, rather than him having to overcome Pollack's coaching.

Yeah, we definitely need to run the ball more effectively. That will open things up for the deeper passing game. Running the ball better means a lot more of QB under center than in the shotgun. Save the latter for 3rd and long. Keep the defenses honest.

Or if the Bengals had done the obvious thing and double-teamed Donald with help from Hopkins instead of leaving Spain 1 on 1.

Making the obvious pick of Burrow covers Tobin for a lot of sins. With the benefit of hindsight, taking Chase over Sewell was probably the right pick (I favored Sewell at the time). But overall, his draft record is poor. Teams need to hit on their first round picks and it leaves holes in the roster when they whiff. Our last 10 first round picks (the guys who are on their rookie deals or their 2nd contracts with the team) are Ogbuehi, Jackson, Ross, Price, Williams, Burrow, Chase, Hill, Murphy, and Mims. I'm optimistic about Mims and Joe and Ja'Marr are pro-bowlers. But the rest are either not very good or haven't shown anything yet. When the furthest back first rounder on your roster is a guy who could still be on his rookie contract, you're not drafting well. Compounding the first round problem is the lack of day 3 hits. We have 1 starter in Volson and plus some backups who were drafted by the team on day 3. Most of those picks won't turn into starters but we need to hit on 1 or 2 per year. Instead we have 1 from the last 5 years. What's Tobin's excuse, is he just going to point to the kicker and punter? We basically lucked into Burrow and that's the foundation of the current franchise. If we'd had the top pick in 2022 instead of 2020, we'd be near the bottom of the league. We'd be the team trying to turn Kenny Pickett into an NFL franchise QB. Eh, Hill has had a better career since the trade but we traded our backup center for their backup DT. Hill had 8 sacks his first year here then has faded since then. Maybe adding Rankins and Jenkins will help him stay fresher and be more productive. Or maybe he's a cap casualty. Agree that Price didn't amount to anything. He retired from the NFL today for medical reasons but wasn't in big demand even if he were healthy.

You say all that while you were wearing your Red coat?

God your pathetic attempts at hating whites is nauseating..

Fair enough. Your the one that said "marvelous kicker" not me. Just wanted to clarify his abilities as a Bengal.

It doesn’t matter to me if this thing wasn’t there at all. Pete Johnson looped Dillon by furlongs in scoring TD’s. He isn’t mentioned. One could go on and on for months with why this one should be and that one shouldn’t. Make your own choices who should or shouldn’t…it is, after all, a fan contest

That would be "open borders" but for the most part? Yes. Terrorists have the resources to forge passports and almost every terrorist attack in the last 20 years was domestic anyway. Care to guess what demographic?

Nuance is lost on you, it seems. Go back and read the post in context. I’m not going to debate a point not placed.

I edited it to include only the last 15 years, which reduces the number of Stealer logos by three. This makes it five titles apiece.

Its not how many but who.. Do we put every borderline good player in? Make it for those who excelled for a good period of time.

Oh, okay. So the "turd factor" coming into play.

So let them all in right? Your borderline radical .. Have a good day Homer.
