Nah. I don't ignore people simply because we might disagree on something. Just tired of politics on both sides.

I am not going to get into a political debate with you. Your comparison was innacurate and disrespectful to the people that actually lived/died during that era. We get enough of that junk from the shitheads on both sides. We don't really need it here in a football forum.

If he was an elite QB he would be on a roster right now. Way to bring up the holocaust though. you are awesome.

Unfortunately perception is reality and stirring the proverbial pot is more important than the truth in sports media and broader media. Oderint Dum metuant.

Had never heard that. My father was stationed at Ft. Bliss TX at the time so we did not get much in the way of Bengal news. I always thought he simply chose MNF over another year. It it seems odd now but before the internet was widespread we got very little Bengal news out west. A few highlights on the evening news if we were lucky and two games a year vs the Oilers was about it.

To this day I think we would have had something the next year if he had stayed. I understood the MNF gig was a big deal but man I wanted him to come back. One my favorite stretches of Bengal football outside of 1981 and 1988.

This is the NFL. Ray Rice was black balled because his skills were eroded. Same thing with Kaepernick. If either were outstanding players they would have been on a time pretty quickly. Not saying it is right or wrong either way but the NFL is a business.

Something does feel off. My theory is that in trying to appease the league and the media we lost our defensive edge. Our defensive identity is swagger and physical toughness. Not any more.

Is it possible that in trying to placate the league and talking heads that we lost our edge? Last years team would hammer this squad.

Down 28-0 and Dre celebrating a routine pass defense.....

A week and a half to prepare for this? Consistent under acheiving, playoff meltdowns, and failure to hold position coaches accountable. I have seen enough of this staff.

3 straight games against Superbowl winners, a playoff team, and a probable playoff contender with 2 on the road. Add in the fact that we have to play soft zone and get burned on blitzes because holding our defensive line is consistently overlooked and you have a recipe for 0-3. We are actually doing better than we should given the circumstances.

He really does a great job as the forum douchenozzle doesn't he?

I did too. This shit is really taking the fun out of football.
