  1. 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.

  2. There are people in the world starving, or nearly so, and many more struggling to put food on the table. “Fighting for crumbs” was a poor choice of words to describe someone in a worse-case position to make $21.8 million. That’s my opinion, and I will stand by that opinion. 🦗

  3. i got my seats back. talked to 3 people and got pumped to a manager finally and it took some selling i had to pull out all the stops, all truthful, but i had to play the logic, the heart strings, the begging, and they gave in, its possible i will lose a set next year and keep a set.. but we shall see. after the fact the things that was frustrating me the most that caused my rage, is im getting older, my health isnt exactly great, and my kids are getting older, there arent going to be many years that i can spend this time with my oldest son, in a few years he is gonna have a demanding job, family, and maybe kids of his own, and fucking off to ohio to watch the bengals with me isnt gonna be possible. and the thought of the bengals stripping that away from me to appease some assholes on a wait list, assholes WHO DIDNT SUPPORT THEM WHEN SALES WERE DOWN, but want tickets now that they are good, theyd take that away from me for those fans? for no gain in their pocket? probably an emotional flounce but i was about ready to be done with this franchise. you cursed my life with andy dalton and now this??!?!? fool me once...

  5. I object your honor. Apples to oranges. Bengals are a pass heavy team whereas the ravens are exactly the opposite. What the bengals will ask of Moss is quite different than what Baltimore will have planned for Henry.

Your client will report to work or I will fine him $20,000 every day and purposefully keep cap space to franchise him 3 years in a row. Nobody rat fucks me! Ask that whiny cunt Carson what happens when you wrestle with the Lumina Grizzly. (hangs up)"

  9. ... The fact that the 'Twitter MD' embeds an advertising ploy to sell his website inside of his 'hot take' clickbait—that was sensational with the expressed purpose of garnering outrage-engagement (and thus increasing the chances that someone buys his "service")—really calls his entire prognosis into question. Plus, he's basically citing an unnamed friend, the equivalent of "some people are saying".

  11. its funny this is even news, but with how lazy all aspects of the media are nowadays its expected. both sides pretending, tee didnt request a damn thing, he agent releases the info, and the bengals dont comment on that shit and never have. bengals never overpay, and tee has absolutely zero leverage. he gonna sit out and miss 1.2 million a week paycheck? lol ok. if someone comes offering a good price we can trade. if not he will play. and ya know what? we can tag his ass again next year and STILL be below his asking price. whatever the opposite of leverage is, is what tee higgins has.

  13. Chew on this for a second. The Bengals don’t give a shit about running the ball. They have the most accurate quarterback in the league. They would probably throw it 100% of the time if they could. Until they dedicate the appropriate resources to it, they are going to be running their offense out of 11 personnel and letting the short passing game and RPOs be their primary run game.

  14. I have loved free agency Returned TE who we absolutely needed Returned a backup LB who basically give us 3 starting LBs Returned versatile backup G Returned special teamer at RB with some upside Got a FS that we needed because our other one couldn't call the plays and the LBs didn't trust him. Was making simple mistakes week 18. Got a RB that is younger and more elusive than the other RB we had and he can pass block better Got a TE/WR who I don't think solves TE but gives us another versatile weapon for this offense and I am never against those. We haven't lost a player I wanted back. We haven't overpaid for anyone. The top WR contract on the market is one that is easily doable for us and could be matched for Higgins We still have like 30 million to spend or something.

  15. Don’t quote me on this but I think he was released because Bryce Young can’t see over him. They’re now looking to sign a 5’2” or shorter center to accommodate their Tiny QB.

  16. B B But if the OLine opened huge holes, he would be so awesome! 🤦🏻‍♂️ Every RB would be fantastic if the Oline opened up holes to run through on every play. It’s the ones who find creases and exhibit patience where a secondary hole opens who separate themselves. And let’s not forget the pass blocking. Maybe if blitzers just wouldn’t run so hard towards him and run him over he would be so much more awesomer. I mean, if they’re running with their full might, how do you expect anyone to be able to block them or even get in their way? Can’t blame Mixon apparently. See, clearly Mixon is a top back in this league who is beyond upgrade because it’s everyone else fault he’s not even more awesomer. Clearly.

  26. The problem is he likes big headlines built on the façade of fake back-loaded money, that center himself as being this "amazing" agent. For him, it's not about whether they play out their contracts, but whether he can cite a big number on signing day for his PR. The Bengals don't do business that way. They like real contracts. Which is why they are not compatible together and clash. Plus his tactic is basically ... If the guy is worth 10, walk into the owners office and say you want 20 and then shout "la la la la la" until the team gives in from fan annoyance at what is taking so long. He's very patient gambling with other guys futures as he's already rich.

  28. The real blasphemy started when they replaced LaRosas with Papa Johns and then to Donatos as the "official" pizza of the Bengals. At least they serve it in the stadium as a pie cut and not those ridiculous little squares. Even more blasphemy to come when they introduce this year's rookie class to Skyline and no one tells them you don't f'n "twirl" a 3, 4 or 5 way

  29. i was torn on Mixon… had a great career, did a lot of good things and was a core of what they’ve built. I would have been fine had he stayed, but I did see a dip in his performance last year, at least as far as making guys miss and getting more yards that were there to be had (for a more elusive back). Like Moss… no, he’s not gonna win a ton of foot races but he’s a more decisive and sudden runner than Joe is now. He’s younger and has less tread on the tires, and is better in pass pro. He’s a pretty good receiver… maybe not as good as Joe, but I personally think overall, Moss is an upgrade. When Taylor was out last year, he showed he could carry the load as a feature back if/when called upon, and he had a very productive season. The fact that he wouldn’t start with Johnathan Taylor on the roster, who IMO is a top 5 back in the league, doesn’t mean the guy can’t play. re Gesicki, I think that’s a helluva get. He’s a much better pass receiver than anyone they’ve had a TE in a long time. He’ll make acrobatic catches, make contested catches, and can play in the slot or split wide… just a mismatch in the passing game that they haven’t had. I discount what he did in NE… Mac Jones was flat-out bad and their offense was a train wreck. That said, he can’t block for isht. But neither could Tanner Hudson, and this guy is significantly better. Burrow is gonna love using him and it opens up the offense considerably, IMO. He’ll be big on 3rd down. And a few years ago, I’d agree that Sample is a bust. But he isn’t now… had a very solid year last year, and showed a little something as a receiver and moving him around as a blocker, even in the backfield showed his versatility. I c’è rtainly can’t disagree that they haven’t upgraded the trenches which are the most glaring needs, but at DT guys like Reader, Rankins and Tart (among others) are out there… and while the OL class was/is pretty crappy, there are still a few guys out there and the draft is very strong there, especially at T. I wouldn’t even discount Jonah at this stage. So far, I’ve liked the moves they’ve made and I suspect that there are a few more coming in the trenches. So I’d give them a high B/low A for what they’ve done to address specific spots, but they have to address the OL and DL… they know that, and I believe that’s coming.

  31. But how much does Zach Moss smile while pulling ARs out on 3rd St? That’s where the real value lies. Also, apparently that’s all the fault of the Oline so I disregard that chart. Only other teams linemen open up holes, but never the bengals line. Mixon literally had to do it all himself. While smiling.

  33. Essentially, the current years salary which would hit 100% in the current year is converted to bonus and spread out over the remaining years of the contract. So if a player has 3 years left on his deal and his current salary is $15M - they convert the salary to bonus and then the $15M is spread out over this year plus the other two, so $5M per year. You would then save (create) $10M of cap space this year but add $5M to each of the next two years cap. It is kicking the can down the road.

  35. Because this is a case of hacking at the branches and missing the root. It's not about liking or disliking Mixon, I really don't care one way or the other. It's the nonsense that gets spewed on here that is simply not the case. Joe runs fine when the line blocks for him. The people who keep going on about him being the problem completely miss the mark when Chase Brown has all of 0.1 YPC for the season more than Joe's 4.0 YPC. But for some reason, some here seem to think he's going to produce where Joe couldn't or that bringing in someone else is going to be the answer? I'm not falling for the groupthink on this, because that's what this has become. Get guys who can run block and we will see things get better, until then you are just spinning your wheels and hacking at branches instead of the root.

  36. No reason they can't make it happen with the amount of cap space they're sitting on. They're not going to have Pro Bowlers at every position but they can at least avoid making draft picks out of desperation.

  37. Soccer was also “unknown” when I grew up in central Indiana. I basically just ran track and cross-country in high school. When my now 39-year-old son was 6, my wife signed him up for soccer…and that was the first time I had ever even touched a soccer ball. I helped out (bench babysitter) with his team a few seasons. When my daughter turned 6, I figured that I knew enough to coach 6- and 7-year-old girls, so I signed up to coach her team. Quite the shock when I received my roster…and they had instead given me my son’s team of 10- and 11-year-old boys. So I read a lot of books…and ended up with a great bunch of boys…and they went 7-2-1 (W-L-D) with a coach that didn’t know what he was doing. With what I know now, I think I could take that team to 10-0. After a few seasons of coaching, I thought that it looked like fun and I would like to try it. I reached out to an over-30 coed league in Loveland and ended up getting invited to sub for a team in a make-up game. So, at the age of 42, I played my first game of soccer. I had a blast. I ended up helping to create a new over-30 coed team (A Few Gray Hares) and have been playing ever since. I now run a 16-team Over-40 outdoor league in the spring and in the fall. I just love this sport. ⚽️ [Apologies for the non-Bengals content] 🦗

  40. Actually, not a bad idea at all. The Browns are very accessible to personal contact and communication with fans, much more so than any other owner, I would say. A politely worded letter to both Mike and Katie (don't call them Old Musty and Pumpkin, me thinks...) explaining your plight (avoid the term "fucked over) and how far you, Go, travel and the expense alone with you and your son should weigh heavily. And your support of the team at games away from Paul Brown Stadium (screw Paycore). You have put more into this team, time and money, than high profile guys like say, well... you fill in the blanks. If anyone qualifies as a "Super Fan" its you, Go. However... I would not mention the message board thing and if you do don't tell them which one. Just sayin' and told to me by a friend.

  41. Any way to contact Katie? She might do something for you. Owning and running a Bengals message board for so long might count for something. Proves your legit loyalty to the team.
