BJ, sometimes I wonder if you are clairvoyant.... The contracts are damn near on the nose, and I'm aware your post was made approximately nine days ago...😎

People are still gonna bitch. "We take too long." "They took too much on the offense". "91 still isn't signed". Jesus--at least they are doing things. Just because they don't do things as fast as we wanted doesn't mean they aint doing anything. We are such a impatient society now--that will bite us in the ass if it hasn't already. Already know Chris Canty is gonna show up later today and get his latest criticism. Fuck him, even if he was a Virginian previously. Fuck them all. It takes time to change some things, Paycor Stadium and Burrow guarantees after year two are new for Cincy. Now they do it with Chase and Higgins. Bengals are stubborn, sure, but they show they can change, even when forces require a change in doing things.

Been a while, but hey, its almost 6 AM my time (living in VA) and I did see the breaking news. Bengals FO are still gonna get yelled at because it took this long to finally take care of their boys. Should had taken care of it last year, but they are here. I personally like that both are extentions, which means they were gonna pay Chase and Higgins this year, and now they both got them for four additional years. Also, this works our cap overall. Because they are extentions, we can spread the guarantees over the entire five years. Including Chase's 5th year salary for 2025 which is at $21.5 million and the additional 4 years at approx. $40 million per year, this goes out to an average of about $36.5 million per year. For Higgins, we already was gonna pay him the franchise tag, currently at $26.2 million for 2025, and now adding the additional 4 years at $115 million put it at a average of $28.5 million for the five years. Again, should had did this earlier like the Eagles did with A.J Brown and Devonte Smith. But its now done. Now let's take care of Trey and prepare for the draft.

This may make me look like a complete a-hole, but I have been watching some of the Squeels reactions after we beat them tonight, and it is seriously cracking me up.😂😂😂😂. So many, many delicious tears from the Mustard Mistake place...ahh. It's so much poetry...

True that. CIN did their part--the only thing they can control. Now we are watchers tomorrow--approriate for me, since chances of snow may cancel church for tomorrow.

Been watching the entire game. Glad we won, but damn!!! We need to do better in the red zone. That was pathetic. Now we have to root for the Jets and the second-strings Chefs to take out DEN and MIA... I feel a bit sick... Some positive things: 1/ Whe have a winning season despite our horrendous start, and we may see. Allen and BUF next weekend if things work out. 2/ As maligned as our defense has played this year, I have been pleased at how they had played during this five game winning streak. Feels a little like 2022 during the ten game winning streak. Lou may figured out how to use the guys we have, and it showed. 3/ We have said it time and again--Zac is a decent head coach, but a horrible plycaller. Please get a real one. This should had been at least a two-score game at least, not this nailbiter. 4/ STICK TO THE RUN MORE OFTEN. THAT IS ALL. That will help the offensive line and Burrow so much. 5/ So far, with the exception of Burton, the rooks turn out to be pretty solid, that is a good sign. Also, try to get Parsons or Garrett. Trey needs a partner badly... That is all for now Again, we won. WHO DEY!!!

So it only benefits us if we hold our end and MIA loses either today (to CLE--honestly unlikely) or to NYJ next week (that is a 50-50 shot) and KC needs to be petty enough hype up and love the chances to beat DEn and kick them out of the playoffs. Brutal.

What is the situation if CLE and MIA tie, seriously? Honest question.

IND, you are out!!! MIA, you are next!! The weekend of hope continues!!

First down Giants! Gain of 9 yards on a 3rd and 8 to move the chains ⛓️

Colts turned over on downs at 4th and 1. Giants take over. Maybe a good sign.🤔

How about we do the only thing we control--whether we win or lose. All the other stuff is is algorithms and wishing. We got into this mess because of our substandard play, and have to live with it. In the minute chance the stars actually align and we make the dance, we ain't a SB champion, we are probably a one-and-done or a Divisional exit.

Geno Stone is turning out to be a pretty decent signing now, that is his third pick in three straight games. Battle and Stone are starters next season.

Too obvious--CLE's season is in the shitter, but at least they ain't falling for something like that. At least we got a good punt...

Why wasn't Battle staring for Bell much earlier??? Nice play to nix CLE's momentum...
