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. 💪🏾

Did Stewart change agents only after the Bengals decided to draft him with the 17th overall pick? I think the answer is a big fat NO.

They're majestic. The world is healing itself.

Paying top dollar for Pro Bowl guards....how laughable is that..the Chiefs will continue to go nowhere.

A look at the bond between the Burrow and Chase families 💛 💜 / 🧡 🖤 AQOEaTQzjiIEi5sIY5Xnjq8Cosn7z0LlMtPkBzWVhyQwkKuwWLunj8QNeA92TpQ4DKPqRUUSUZHHxqQNf7dbIpNAea7ViJuSmdTWy2L4vCiSHg.mp4

NFL Network had their top 10 games of the 2024 season yesterday. Game 1 vs Ravens was 5th and game 2 vs them was third best game of the season.

That zebra is using the Mahomes method of sizing helmets.

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.

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?

W3 at Minnesota will be a really big game for Cincinnati. Minnesota has a lot of talent on both sides of the ball. They really beefed up their OL in the offseason. It will all come down to QB play for them.

The Athletic: Potential breakout candidates for each team: Cincinnati BengalsCB Cam Taylor-BrittTaylor-Britt has been a candidate for this over the previous two seasons, but perhaps nobody benefited more from the fresh start under defensive coordinator Al Golden than the fourth-year cornerback. He’s proven he can play at a high level for stretches of his career, but he’s been unable to find consistency. He was benched multiple times last year, but his energy, athleticism and playmaking showed up in the offseason program. He sounds and looks more like the confident player who emerged on the scene in his first two seasons and less like the embattled and confused corner who scuffled through the ugly 2024 campaign. It could finally be his year to become a true CB1. — Paul Dehner Jr.

Here you go @BlackJesus the Bucs have a throwback uni now. Not gonna lie, this is pretty fire.

Bengals play @ Minnesota in Week 3...

But so short—and I mean SHORT—lived. Preseason 1969. “John Mecom, in 1969, did not realize that he had to register the uniform change with the NFL and did not do so. Needless to say, the league refused to register the helmet. The team wore the helmet once and that was it.”

Starting to wonder what a contract is even for at this point

This just irritates me at this point.

No “Filthy Fucking Rich/Soon to be Filthy Fucking Rich Entertainers/Filthy Fucking Rich Agents versus Filthy Fucking Rich Franchise”…no vote

There's still a lot of football left to be played.

Distraction, players sitting out of practices, another poor start to the season. Is your contention that training camp holdouts are a good thing or...

Why? What’s going to happen?

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

Every rookie reminds some hack of a Hall of Famer right up until kickoff.

I like our tackles, think our Center is decent, like that kid from OSU for the future. Guard is the big question mark, and then depth as well. Well see if the investment they made in the draft pays off or not.

Well, he can enjoy a year off from football then. If he can’t trust himself to conduct himself like a professional I don’t want him. Went thru a decade of dumbass players making the Bengals look like shit. BTW, Abdul Carter, signed his contract, which includes the now-controversial (for a Bengals player that is) provision. I guess Carter has more faith in himself. The Burton fiasco last year was bad enough although these particular clauses would not have cost him money.

And the fact that the team had not used it previously is meaningless. It isn’t some off the wall unique contract, it’s a standard contract for many teams.
