Well then...as if the line wasn't already a big concern, it is more so now. Jeez

Let's see how this douche bag fairs as the number one before making ridiculous claims such as this. Dude doesn't have shit on AJ.

Hmm, before her was Coley, and i think before him was *shudder* Hensley? Before that...ah I forget. I'd say out of the three of them Coley was the most enthusiastic about the Bengals. Hensley was a Ratbirds homer so we knew what we'd be getting there, total Bengals hater.Terrell never seemed like she wanted to cover the Bengals, complete indifference . Her twitter was more about LSU than anything else. While I don't really use ESPN to follow the Bengals, bring on the next one!

Felt like telling someone, who better than my Bengals brethren. Just bought tickets for me and the woman to the Bengals/Jags game on 10/20. Yes I may be a glutton for punishment, but I am extremely excited to see them play for the first time in Jungle. For years I've watched them at Ralph Wilson, it will be nice to be able to root for them without being sworn at lol. We're staying at the SpringHill Suites, I guess it is only a couple miles from the stadium. Looking forward to the game, some authentic chili, maybe the zoo, the aquarium...hoping for a nice extended weekend getaway. I could probably dig up some old threads asking for the same pointers, but let me know of any can't miss spots for food/entertainment!

Good to know, thank you

What a blow to the aspirations for the new regime though. I understand next man up mentality but this is just ridiculous. I knew there was something up with him, UUGHHHH

Un-fucking-real

It is just one of those unfortunate things where our past is coming back to haunt us. Until we win a fucking playoff game, nothing is going to change as far as media coverage/opinions. "Same old Bengals" Feels unfair how the Browns sort of became media darlings seemingly overnight though. Their recent ineptitude was just as bad as the Bengals were in the 90's-early 00's. We never had an 0-16 season. Only thing I can think of is the Mayfield OBJ star power?? I don't get it.

Lol I gotta admit, he is getting tougher and tougher to read. Sometimes he just takes forever to get his point across. Run on sentences galore and canned phrases that almost read like dad jokes. Plenty of fluff pieces ahead!

My random Bengals thought today... Is DAMN this month stretch (7/27??) where nothing is going on is brutal! I suppose no news is good news during this time span but it'll be nice when there is actual team stuff going on again. I would have liked to know what happened to Jonah at minicamp tho

I'd have to agree

I was thinking the same thing man. I know it is early on and I'm a total homer for watching all of the videos on Bengals.com, but I'm definitely noticing a positive attitude during all the interviews. Just seems like some good energy within the club right now.

I was surprised to hear that the stripes are actually painted onto the helmets, which is why we can't use the "BENGALS" throwbacks. I think it'd be cool to do for one or two games a year. The NFL just needs to get rid of the dumb one-helmet rule.

This has GOT to be his last chance. Barring a complete season with stellar production, you cant just keep throwing money away, I agree. Nothing against the guy, he's produced when on the field. Just cant stay out there.

This is an interesting topic, one I'm really interested in seeing shake out. Lets get one thing straight, he is the QB of the Bengals this upcoming season, so I will be rooting for him to play out of his damn mind and take us to the promised land. There will be a lot of factors in play for what they do with Dalton after. You have the new coach, i always hear about new coaches wanting "their guy". Zac has had nothing but praise for Dalton since he arrived, but the season's outcome paired with Dalton's individual contribution/leadership will play into that. If he is average but they win enough games to go to the playoffs (and god forbid WIN ONE), do you keep him and improve around him? If the team is average overall (think horrifically shitty defense), but Dalton performs well qb rating/stats wise, do you give him one more chance? The final year's salary is not outrageous. Many many things to think about...

Haha, one hell of a combo

Not to hijack this thread but damn...Marisa is pretty hot

Well, at least he dressed up for the phone call lol

Didnt Belichick have a damn hoodie on when he introduced their draft picks? Winning is what matters, who gives a shit about his wrinkled button up

Wow, gotta say I like this take action approach

Lol, another casualty of that really delayed submit button. Agreed though, high IQ and high character picks are definitely a trend

Looks like we're committed to the run, why reach in the second though

Lord knows it was a position of need. Mixon and Dalton should be smiling
