I would call that an organization-wide issue, despite all the excuses. Like the opener "oh we didn't know which WR to gameplan around." Yeah, that definitely sucked, but it didn't happen without reason. Decisions made at the very top of the franchise led them there. It's ok to say "we let that drag on too long, we'll learn from that mistake" but instead it seems like it's always some new form of prevarication. Do they really think they're crushing it on every level & just victims of bad luck? Does anyone?

@BlackJesus is really asking if Joe's jockstrap was left by the locker so he could steal it?

Brook's quads need to be added to Ja'Marr's calves to form a super human. 💪🏾

Unstoppable anticipation 🐯 YouCut_20250713_182650295.mp4

alot of teams have moved to the white uni alternatives after seeing how clean the Bengals Icy white looks game recognize game

I can see the Browns picking up Justin Tucker on the 11th week of the season when his suspension is up. No 🥷

... I can see he's fitting right in with the Cleveland rapist / abuser team culture. #MistakeOnTheLake 💩

Those annual 0-2 starts are the main reason for the 9-8 record.

Finally watched the entire thing. I've always kinda liked Jared Goff, and his story was amazing. Really impressed by the Lion's coaching staff and how they welcomed him into the fold. And I could have gone for at least 10 more minutes of his wife in a Bikini. Damn girl! If those puppies are for sale, I'll take the one with the lil' pink nose. Kirk Cousins seems like a really nice guy, but goddamn is he BORING. Total "Basic Bitch" energy. Kinda a-hole who likes Celine Dion and Coldplay. Joe Burrow might be going through a real life "Big". When they talk to him, it was like a 12 year old made a wish with a Genie to be the best QB in the league. As far as the rest... I felt like there was a lot of context missing about what was going on around them. Like we were looking at QB performance in a bubble. They only briefly mention the Lions missing their entire front 7 on defense. I liked Cousins' communication with his coaches. Hated Joe's. Goff was in the middle. Didn't really feel that same two way lane of conversation with Joe and his coaches. Maybe it just wasn't shown. In a broader sense... I wanted Joe to be a lot more vocal. Long before Episode 6. Joe's Mom was Terri Garr. Jamarr Chase looks exactly like his Dad. I don't think you can understate just how good Jamarr is, and how much those two guys being able to bring their existing chemistry to the league has helped them both achieve great things. I loved the "I didn't do shit" exchange. I also really enjoyed them showing Cousins struggling with a new playbook. Goes to show that even 13 year vets can struggle picking that stuff up and just how slim the margins are.

12 days and 3 guys still don't have contracts (or 2 + 1 guy telling us he wont play on his current one.)

nothing worse to get signed honestly.. especially the mini. the stripes are THICK ass stickers.. so EVERY paint pen, marker, everything catches it and fucked up the auto. even on the big ones people often cut a stripe or sign small as hell in between.. terrible.. TERRIBLE.

At least 5 times a year I just randomly get angry at the thought that the Dolphins, Broncos, and Bucs don't permanently switch back to their retro helmets and uniforms. They ruined perfection for modernist trash. 😡

Interesting when Mahomes needed a 5th down do-over from Urkel to beat him in the playoffs and Burrow is still up 3-2 overall.

If the last 40 years sucked so bad, why are you still here?

Joe is so cool

The defense was obviously a huge problem last season, but the poor kicking game was a HUGE factor in missing the playoffs. The snapper-holder-kicker operation needs to get fixed by the opening game. There are going to be plenty of close games where a FG or lack thereof will be the difference. between winning and losing.

This doesn't look like a team trying to maximize the window for their 28 year old QB.

Feels like half measures to me. They had plenty of cap space to sign one of the top FA guards but went with a discount option and a couple of scratch-off tickets. Plus depth, as you said - very rare for all 5 OL to start every game. Quarter billion invested in the QB and the best they can do is Lucas Patrick? Seems like they're always trying to do the least where the interior OL is concerned.

Dylan Fairchild vs UFC Sean Strickland. State wrestling champion showing his moves. This was a heck of a pick with those moves. https://youtube.com/shorts/IRZpxpqeTxI?si=IdOz2AlS5i4h6jtQ

Guess some fans have just gotten used to 0-2 starts at this point. No big deal...unless you want to make the playoffs. But hey, maybe just barely missing the playoffs is also expected at this point.

Lol, maybe so but man is it much better than that black alternate they were rolling out the last couple years. The Saints have an absolutely BEAUTIFUL black shell option just there for the taking though... 😍

TCL = Total Crap Line

Math: WAS: 16 week season + 1 bye week + 4 preseason weeks = 21 weeks of football + wildcard + divisional + conference + off week + super bowl = 26 weekends of football If Regular Season Week 1 (the 5th football weekend) is the Sunday after Labor Day, the Super Bowl is the 1st or 2nd Sunday in February NOW 17 week season + 1 bye week + 3 preseason weeks = 21 weeks of football + wildcard + divisional + conference + off week + super bowl = 26 weekends of football Same as before FUTURE (without extra bye) 18 week season + 1 bye week + 3 preseason weeks = 22 weeks of football + wildcard + divisional + conference + off week + super bowl = 27 weekends of football Pushes Super Bowl one week to the right, making it the 2nd or 3rd Sunday in February FUTURE (with extra bye) 18 week season + 2 bye week + 3 preseason weeks = 23 weeks of football + wildcard + divisional + conference + off week + super bowl = 28 weekends of football Pushes Super Bowl two weeks to the right, making it the 3rd or 4th Sunday in February I agree that 18 games should add a 2nd bye.... but they're going to have to revamp the schedule to fit two extra weeks into the calendar. The easiest solution would seem to be the deletion of another preseason game AND start everything a week earlier. In fact, you could start the season on Labor Day Sunday, turning the entire 3-day weekend into a national celebration of football. For the current year, it might look like: August 15-17 weekend - Preseason 1 August 22-24 weekend - Preseason 2 (theoretically, they could also start the weekend before [Aug 8-10], play two preseason weeks then have an off week for final cuts and prep before season kickoff) August 31 (Labor Day Sunday) - Season begins Jaunary 11 - 20th regular season week (18 games + 2 byes) - Final football weekend January 17-18 - Wild Card Janunary 24-25 - Divisional February 1 - Conference February 8 - off week February 15 - Super Bowl I don't think deletion of the off week before the Super Bowl is realistic. Too much money to be made on the hype, too many people making last-minute travel plans if their team is going.... been there, the extra week is actually a net good thing. Anyway, that's my take on it.

I also think if they are going to 18 games they need to reduce the number of Thursday games. Player safety, and all that.

Clipse album dropped today, - Let God Sort Em Out. its very good.

yep, they are small, cheap and easy to hold onto and hold out, so i get it, it checks every box except being a productive item to get signed..

Yeah. That plus Lou equals a 9-8 record? If y'all say so... Guess we'll see

Fantastic, but...

He's always f*ckin' open

JoeyB, nerd at heart

I like seeing Millionaires going to Great Clips. :)

This explains at least part of why the old guard Dems are shitting themselves. This crazy SOB wants to act on what they claim to stand for, against their personal interest. And he seems capable, too - it's not loveable old crazy Grandpa or a grandstanding TikTok celebrity. Woah now, buddy! What's in it for AIPAC?

Bengals QB Joe Burrow Grades Viewers Lip-Reading Skills, Details Heated Sideline Exchange with Zac TaylorJay Morrison Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow talks to a Netflix producer during an episode in the new season of "Quarterback." / Courtesy of Netflix CINCINNATI – Toward the end of last year’s Week 15 win at Tennessee, FOX cameras caught a heated exchange between Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor and quarterback Joe Burrow. Taylor didn’t provide any context to the situation in his postgame press conference, saying only, “It was just a conversation back and forth.” And though Burrow was wearing a microphone during the game, that week’s episode of “Hard Knocks: In-Season With the AFC North” opted to air only Taylor’s comments, leaving many to test their lip-reading skills to discern what had Burrow chaffed. In the new season of the Netflix documentary “Quarterback,” no lip reading is needed. The exchange is featured in Episode 6, which is the same one that features Burrow going into more detail about the burglary at his home than he previously has. The episode shows some of Burrow’s great plays, such as the touchdown to Chase Brown in which he scrambles while holding on to the ball for 9.013 seconds before throwing it, and his deep touchdown pass to Tee Higgins to set the single-season franchise record. But it also focuses on the large number of pre-snap penalties, which is what led to the exchange between Burrow and Taylor. After one false start, Burrow yells “What in the f—k are we doing, man?” as he walks off the field. “Wake the f—k up,” he adds. The show cuts to a shot of Burrow sitting on the bench in the final seconds of the game, shaking his head. That’s when Taylor approaches. Here’s the transcript: Taylor: “What to finish the game. That’s a great drive finishing. I know it’s frustrating …” Burrow: “That’s an embarrassing performance by us. F—king embarrassing.” Taylor: “I know. We’ll address it. But at the same time, let’s enjoy some of these wins and …” Burrow: “F—k that. F—k that. We sucked today. That was embarrassing. We jumped offsides f--king eight times.” Taylor: “I know that. I know that.” The show cuts to a sit-down interview with Taylor in a Bengals meeting room. “Sometimes I walk into an emotional moment, and I know I’m walking into an emotional moment, and it becomes a really emotional moment,” he says with a laugh. “And they may be viewed as conflict. It’s really just passion for the game.” That's followed by a montage of shots of Burrow stewing on the bench as a quote from him as played as a voiceover. “I understand that we won the game, and we want to be happy that we won the game, but at the same time, when things aren’t good enough, I’m not gonna act like they were.” https://www.si.com/nfl/bengals/bengals-qb-joe-burrow-grades-viewers-lip-reading-skills-details-heated-sideline-exchange-with-zac-taylor-01jzk6m0vd9s?fbclid=IwY2xjawLZYaZleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETExdU1KZjgxd0RlQlNlT0tUAR4PCXBMAQEDJP7x7CzhaHXw-Ct1c4Lpckd66K6l-PwaTVbVrrlQlbX44AmU2g_aem_UQKnOF1ZA_D9ORcHKAcwRQ

I've heard getting 1/2 of them to show up ready to go on stage is a miracle. Blueprint is coming through soon. Might go see Cannibal Corpse in a few months, more local shows until then. The big venues calm down when it's still 100f as the show lets out.

There’s a lot of reasons why this isn’t happening here. First of all, zoning regulations now usually require a minimum square footage and lot size, and these homes would probably not meet the requirements. Second of all, these would probably fall under “manufactured housing “ and even if they have a foundation and are attached as real estate, they’re more difficult to obtain financing on. Third of all, because it’s too practical. This would be great for in fill housing in urban neighborhoods for a start. You could build a community of these in the suburbs, if the suburbs would accept them. Sears used to make homes. They had numerous floor plans, would deliver the kit with all the supplies to the lot, and you would build it. They’re close to 100 years old, or older, and still standing, and are really cool. I have one up the street from me. In the 40’s after the war, you had Lustron Homes, which were built out of ceramic coated metal. They were about 1000 square feet with carports. Really cool and efficient for GIs coming back and starting families. 75+ years later, still standing. You are starting to see houses being built with 3D printers that are really cool, cost efficient, and more durable than stick built homes.

I think most NFL fans are trained to think that QB value can only be measured by playoff appearances and especially Super Bowl rings. Stats don't matter, injuries don't matter, front offices don't matter, coaching staffs don't matter, supporting casts don't matter...only playoffs and Super Bowl rings matter. Everything else? Just empty excuses to protect your overrated QB.
