What are your thoughts about Nikki Haley?

Gym should be in prison for enabling a sexual predator not one of the most powerful politicians in this country, it's amazing to me that a party that supposedly stands for protecting the children, see pizzagate, turn a blind eye and ignore facts when it comes to their own with guys like Matt Gaetz and Jim Jordan. I guess it's all about morals when it comes to someone else, but when it's happening in your own backyard not so much. In theory, the Republican party is great, they stand for family values, financial responsibility, free markets, etc...but in actuality, they are a bunch of hypocrites that don't come close to anything that they say they are about..which is why Trump has been able to high jack the party and they lost an election to Joe Biden, a complete tool.

How do you know it was Iran that was behind the Hamas attack? And if they were the culprit wouldn't they do more to help the Palestinians that are getting slaughtered by the thousands every day? So you want Biden to blame Iran without any proof or evidence because what....not to appear to be weak? That's very stupid. Also, who said anything about fearing anyone, sounds like you are projecting. You remind me of my childhood friend who is a conservative Republican. He has this irrational fear that Muslim countries are going to kill Americans en mass and he's using this as justification to blindly support anything that Israel does, including bombing hospitals, escape routes, and killing innocent children. His fears are not based on any real evidence, America has never been close to being invaded or taken over by anyone in the last 200 years and definitely not by any Muslim country halfway across the world without the means to do so...it's a silly irrational fear that gets feed by propaganda and hate. As for the Republicans, all I can do is laugh, it's a circus and the biggest clown is running the show...

I wouldn't go that far, Maye is a good prospect but there are a few good prospects in the draft this year. Williams, Penix, Daniels, Nix, Ewers, Hartman, and McCarthy are all potential first round QB's....I wouldn't want to be a QB that is a FA this offseason.

This is a BS story that is not based on any facts, it was based on a Twitter rumor from July that is now resurfacing after Caleb had a bad game.

It's looking like CMC will play this week, but they play on MNF and they play us on Sunday so we are catching them on a short week so we will be catching them at the right time.

He's good but he missed too many tackles, great in pass coverage tho.

I hope they come out of the bye week with Cody Ford at LG and OBJ at LT on the left side...Volson is not playing good football and Ford looked very capable last Sunday.

He's been looking, but no offers as of yet...that I can remember. It's not en vogue to hire older DC's, most teams want the young OC.

NGL, this dude seems pretty solid. I think he used to post here a few years ago when someone came out of nowhere and was hyping up this UDFA that was just signed...it had to be him because he was going hard for Irwin and knew his high school stats...

What else is he supposed to do, it's not flag football.. The Cowboys were upset because they believed that the Chargers were blocking their entrance onto the field, which makes sense...why would the Chargers choose to warm up in the direct path of where the Cowboys enter the field?

The fact that the broadcast didn't even realize he was in the game until his second series and he didn't stand out speaks to the fact that he was playing well and there wasn't a huge dropoff in the level of play when he came into the game.

He's been inactive most games this year, he doesn't seem to be in the future plans of this organization. Wouldn't surprise me if he was traded ala Billy Price or released if a FA is brought in. Ford played well at LT so I don't know where Carman is on the pecking order but he's clearly not the first LT off the bench.

Was he worse than Volson? In 2021 when Carman got the most snaps of his career he had a PFF grade of 56.3, currently Volson has a PFF grade of 48.2 and last season he had a PFF grade of 51.6. I know you have to give some players an opportunity to develop into the position but Volson is holding this offense back and it seems like he's regressing. His pass blocking hasn't improved, the sack he gave up last week when he got tossed like a balled-up piece of paper is evidence of that, and the run blocking is awful as the Bengals are ranked dead last in rushing. In short-yardage situations he gets blown up and gets no movement on the ball...there is a huge lack of consistency from Volson that includes some good plays and some awful plays...his floor is too low and the ceiling isn't very high.

fuck the Chiefs...lol....who cares what the Chiefs do, that doesn't translate to what we are doing.

Absolutely, RIP to Rudolph Isley, that group is legendary and a huge source of pride for many people who grew up in Zone 15. They are one of the best R&B groups ever, they had #1 songs in 5 decades, that is incredible and will probably never be topped.

He's the backup LT, he might be needed if OBJ is hurt. I would look at Smith and Carman as viable options as well. The Bengals can't ignore this problem, it's going to cost us more games in a season with a very small margin for error.

They don't use the QB sneak in short-to-go situations either which is odd to me, but Volson needs to go see Barry Bonds and Mark McGuire to get stronger during the bye. That sack he gave up when he got tossed was embarrassing, no NFL lineman should get moved like that...there must be a better option. Speaking of better options, local guy Andrew Norwell is a FA... maybe they kick the tires to see if he's healthy enough to play...that would be a huge upgrade at LG.

I think it's a scheme problem because the majority of their plays are run out of the shotgun, which is great for the passing game but it puts the running game at a disadvantage because if you have to get 3 yards just to get back to the LOS then it's tough to do in short yardage situations when opposing defense are expecting the run. Then you combine that with Cordell Volson getting blown up nearly every play then it understandable why they are dead last in running the ball.

Glad to see the defense step and show that they can be the elite unit that we fans thought they could be. Hopefully, the defense keeps that same level of play and the offense can find its groove, especially the run game...and specifically the interior of the line. If this offense can be more balanced and Joe continues to progress from a health and timing perspective then I think this team will be one of the best in the NFL capable of beating anyone.

I saw Ron and Ernie in concert a few years ago and Ernie had an incredible solo where he played the guitar with his teeth. Here's a great article about him from Guitar.com

Ernie is the best guitar player I've ever seen

Trey is one of my favorite players, I hope his able to finish his career in Cincinnati. He's the Joe Burrow of the defense, when he's playing at a high level the defense is one of the best units in the NFL.
