AFC North fans are already crying and think it's a conspiracy to put Shiesty in that Bayou Super Bowl ... 1 Quote

Are the people saying this so stupid they don't know that the team that in finished last gets a last place schedule the following year? 3 Quote
sparky151 Posted May 14 Report Posted May 14 https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5490755/2024/05/14/bengals-mock-schedule-2024/ Dehner article on best possible schedule for the Bengals. Obviously, it came out before the week 2 announcement. It makes a lot more sense to rank strength of schedule on projected team win totals for 2024 than actual win counts from 2023. 1 Quote

They've had some slow starts, IDK if it's because they're afraid to take the bubble wrap off guys in the preseason or what but digging a hole early doesn't leave much breathing room. Quote

There may be multiple reasons for the slow starts, but number #1 with a bullet is the fact that Joe Burrow is 0-for4 when it comes to the month pf August. Covid, ACL knee surgery recovery, ruptured appendix, calf injury - no QB in the league has dealt with even half of the preseason shit Burrow has been through. It is beyond absurd at this point. 1 Quote
Jamie_B Posted May 15 Author Report Posted May 15 The slow starts are because Joe was recovering from something every year or there was covid and they couldn't have a camp. Year 1 - Covid Year 2 - Knee Year 3 - Apondectomy Year 4 - Calve If he gets a full camp I think we will be ok. Quote
dex Posted May 15 Report Posted May 15 The assumption has been that Cincinnati will open the season in Paycor for week 1. From what has already leaked, 4 potential home opponents have already been eliminated as possibilities. The Ravens, Eagles, Browns, Stealers. So that leaves the following home opponents as viable options: for the opener: Denver Las Vegas New England Washington Quote

dex Posted May 15 Report Posted May 15 8 minutes ago, Cricket said: Hadn’t it already been leaked that it’s New England… …or did I just dream that! It was only considered very possible, certainly not confirmed by media the way some other openers have been. There is more speculation that the New England will be played in the first month, possibly week 1. 1 Quote

How many losing seasons in a row will it take before the NFL accepts the Pats without Brady ain't shit? Or are they now permanently in SB contention every year no matter how bad they actually are, like Dallas? Quote

dex Posted May 15 Report Posted May 15 10 minutes ago, Inigo Montoya said: Leaks are coming out. Confirmed games are KC/BAL, GB/PHI, DAL/CLE, PIT/ATL and NYJ/SF. Unconfirmed games include MIA/JAX, DEN/SEA, and LAR/DET. I listed 4 possibilities for a home opener above. This would eliminate Denver from consideration leaving only Las Vegas, Washington and New England as options. I know there have been some rumors about the opponent being the Patriots, but my prediction is that it will be Washington at Paycor in week 1. Both the Browns and Stealers are playing NFC teams, I'm guessing the Bengals will too. The AFC North schedule often worked that way last season, at least roughly. Quote
