This seriously might be the most Aura-iest photo that ever Auraed. Textbook definition. Daniel Jones dreams of even being allowed to stand close to this much Aura. ☀️ 

 

“Aura” from a standard Sicilian Defense opening move? 

 

Unless the opponent bites and goes Knight G7 (or G6), then St Joseph’s “aura” would likely be limited to a long-drawn draw at best.

Justin Jefferson is in France with Burrow (and Chase) ... So can we still pull this trade off?  

 

 

(I'll never forgive Minnesota for holding Jetta hostage from us)

... I wish we could see the entire game. ♟️  Maybe a future Bengals reporter will ask him if he won.

Not much of a conspiracy theory when it's something they plainly did. 

 

If you want a conspiracy theory consider how much help the Kenny Pick6it-led Stoolers will need to remain in playoff contention until December.

Pickett?

Im misunderstanding.

Isn't he a Bronco now?

 

Steeler fans should be worried about the present QBs taking them nowhere.

Good point.

When played opponents better than me, I would exchange Queens quickly.

Stood on better ground with them that way.

No....

JJ might be the best WR now.

( He is..)

His contract stated that.

 

To keep JB and JaMarr together for their careers is the goal.

An expensive goal but worthy.

Nice to see JaMarr and JJ along with him.

 Don't recall it mentioned that JB paid for every Oinemen  and their families on a Cruise for a week?

 

Dudes respect and remember those gestures to be sure..

That is a sound logic, albeit it does make for almost flawless moves going forward—and one’s opponent getting too aggressive. 
 

Fischers standard opening move was a Kings pawn e4. He then experimented with a variant of the English Opening c4 (heretofore no-no). Had a great string off of this uncommon move at the time and people have copied it a lot since. 
 

I suspect St Joseph is going on the English Opening c4, as it has become one of the standard opening moves. Using the Sicilian Defense appropriately, he can hope to catch the opponent exposing on a castle. Of course, the opponent—if savvy—can expose a clear path to the Queen via sealing off the bishop.

And watered down to boot..

Flasks are our friends .

 

I remember years ago attending 

a Black Sabbath concert as they were on the rise at that time..

 

I took a flask of tequila in ...

Id never heard that type of music before. ..so loud  and his voice.

By the time the flask was empty I was into them completely.

Ah. Flasks..

Do we think they are actually going to do a 3rd?

Think it was 1972 and don't remember who opened for them.

Humble Pie may have with Peter Framton ..don't recall.

Dayton Oh ..Hara Arena 

Good times.

We have enough as it is.

Orange, white or possibly a black would be fine .

I'm sure many members could create a badass black helmet with orange thru it.

Same with unis.

That's a good question. Personally? I'm fine with just two. I feel like it is one of those situations where just because you can doesn't mean you should lol.

 

If we do end up going with a third option, my guess would either be a throwback option like the Bengals did in '94 or a reverse of the original striped helmet. The reverse helmet wouldn't require a new jersey (therefore requiring an existing one to be removed, likely the orange). I would suspect a reverse helmet is more likely but you never know...

You beat me to it.  I was just going to say that.  In that case the Sicilian makes him an offer he can't refuse, shoots him and leaves the gun and takes the cannoli.  Badda Bing, Badda Boom.

Exactly how I feel, it's not necessary but if they do choose one of those 2

I'd be fine with this as a throwback (it IS the original after all). I just wish they'd use the all whites as their primary unis and FFS STOP WEARING BLACK BEFORE MID OCTOBER OR NOVEMBER. It's like no one in management has heard of heat stroke.

Guess I should have let the front office know. My daughter has 4 cats, the two newest are named Joe "Purrow" and Zac "TAILor"

I've been clamoring for throwbacks for years, so if there's a third helmet, a throwback is the only answer. Spent my childhood dreaming of seeing those uniforms in the Super Bowl. Missed it by one year.
