Great perspective from a Cincy guy and life long Bengal fan/player...thanks for sharing

Uncle Bootsie is the best, he should be the king of the jungle at a home game next year

You're the best fucking bot on this board...... Sorry...too soon?

Reverse the curse!!

The pedal taverns in Nash Vegas are out of control...Friday night and Saturday afternoon should be rocking tho...Covid will definitely be in the building.

Good article about Chase and his childhood friend, high school, and college teammate Kristian Fulton who plays DB for the Titans. https://www.tennessean.com/story/sports/nfl/titans/2022/01/19/tennessee-titans-kristian-fulton-cincinnati-bengals-jamarr-chase/6529764001/

I was looking at the game notes and saw that Taylor coached Tannehill in college from 2008-2011 and his first 3 years (2012-2015) in the NFL, so he knows him extremely well..this is a huge advantage as he knows Tannehill's tendencies, strengths, and weaknesses. Hopefully this familiarity helps the Bengals win the game.

My thought is the author of this article is a stat nerd that doesn't understand the game of football, using analytics without context is just stupid. The Raiders run defense was their weakness and you have to try to get a big play in the run game by running the ball with your Pro Bowl RB. Also, it helps the offensive line to fire off the ball and wear down the opposing side by running the ball. Running the ball is important because it allows the offensive line to impose their will on their opponents and you can't abandon it, especially when you have the lead..which the Bengals did for the entire game. Ultimately Zac did something no other coach has done in 4 decades, win a playoff game...so yeah I think he did a good job.

Geno is living his best life, he's not suiting up anytime soon.

It's going to be all on deck

Any word on Renell Wren?

This is obviously the biggest game in decades, let's discuss. The loss of Ogunjobi is a big one, but we do have quality depth in Hill, Tupou, and Shelvin. I think Hill will get the start and Tupou and Shelvin will provide depth. In order for the Bengals to win, stopping Derrick Henry has to be the top priority and Shelvin will be key in accomplishing that goal. The rookie hasn't played much but now is Jamarr's BFF time to shine. Our offensive line has to play much better as the Titans have one of the best front four in the NFL. They struggled vs the Raiders; they got no push in the run game and let too many free rushers get to Burrow. Also, the Bengals are playing on the road and crowd noise will be an issue, the Titans fans will be ready after pre-gaming on 2nd Ave, Printer's Alley, and Broadway. I think it's going to be a tough game as the Titans have the personality of their head coach, OSU legend Mike Vrabel, a bad ass linebacker that wants to beat you up. The Bengals have to be ready for a physical battle as the Titans are definitely going punch you in the mouth. Ultimately, I think the Bengals will win IF they can reasonably protect Burrow and score TD's instead of kicking field goals, unlike what they did last week vs the Raiders. Burrow is better than Tannehill, which is a big advantage for the Bengals...hopefully it's enough to get the victory.

Is that Fest trying to tie Bubba's shoes as he goes to murder the QB?

You're fun at parties, I can tell... Merged...

Brandon Staley fucked that up calling that timeout, he's the reason the Chargers didn't make the playoffs
