Time to Get Down to Business |

Ok, since many have been here for a few dozen hours, mods are in place, and the seal has been broken, let's get down to brass tacks.
This franchise is a turd sandwich. A real giant douche if you will. The urgency shown by this team this offseason is akin to the urgency I show when I'm taking a Sunday morning deuce. Little to none. As much as I'm going to relax, while taking the Browns to the Superbowl and simultaneously reading the sports page, that's about the level of urgency they have shown in trying/wanting to win now.
New coach? Forgetaboutit... Are you kidding me? Let's give this d-rocket another extension. I mean why not, right? We're not even into year 20 of the rebuilding project.
Additions or changes to staff? Yeah, ok, like that was going to happen any other way than them leaving on their own. Piano Man, the Hayes boys and the rest of the merry men have the job security of public school teacher with tenure.
A QB competition? Even if only for the sake of motivation, perhaps team building, or manufactured confidence in the predetermined winner? *****, please. Surely the 22nd rated QB and his whopping 14 TD passed or whatever his noodled armed ass threw last year can't be subjected to such a slap in the face. How dare anyone even entertain the idea that Andy may need to someone to push him and may need to win his spot just like everyone else.
Surely they did something in FA, right? Something to add that missing piece or two. Something to put us over the top. Noooooope. Here's 4 former players (MJ, Simms, JJ, Ghee, who we didn't win with before, and a 47 year old LB, inked with a 500k signing bonus and a Buddy Card, who even in his prime was average.
Well, there's always the draft, right. Here's two tackles in back to back rounds to kick off the draft. Hey, that's great but not sure how that helps us win now. (side note: remember how quick the team is to point to the upcoming expiring contracts of Smith and Whitworth when rationilizing not spending money. Drafting two tackles doesn't inspire a ton of confidence you've actually earmarked that money for both)
So, come on, what's changed? Anything? What's different? Do they want to win more? Are they trying their best? Do the care if they appear to be trying? Are you confident? Heck, are the players? I know if my company kept screwing the pooch in one area and the 25th Monday in a row I come in and we're having the same sales meeting, with the same agenda, same pitch, same product, same everything, I'm not going to have a ton confidence it's what's being presented.
Mike Brown, eat a bag of... Your product is inferior, and worst of all is boring. It's stale and has been stale for years. If this team slips up in the slightest I believe the amount of empty seats that rival anything you saw in the days of Riverfront. They've built up no loyalty in this recent stretch, their product does little to excite in the way of anything different or new.
Bengals football 2015 = Good luck, you're going to need it.
Note: This thread is equal parts a tongue in cheek attempt to show that this forum can, and will most likely, be very similar, and me legitimate griping about this steady worm, cheap, outdated, Mickey Mouse approach to modern football.

Just wanted to give a big thank you for creating this board. I was really bummed about the other one shutting down, but it seems like most of the people that I enjoyed reading and interacting with have made it over here.
I don't want to get sappy, but I really appreciate seeing you guys over here. You've helped me through some tough times as well as made some good times even better.
Now, the owner of this board better not shut it down in 9 and a half years :angry:

http://www.cincyjungle.com/bengals-news/2015/5/13/8601979/darrin-simmons-tom-obarski-will-compete-against-mike-nugent
follow the link it explains it.
Bengals inked the New Kicker for a 3 year deal.
They say they are giving him a shot to unseat Nugent.
Financially I don't understand.
Article explains they'd have 600k in dead money this year, + cash owed Obraski if they cut Nugent.
I'd love to see real competition at Kicker.
Adding Stats
Here are some good stats on him. Per Cincy Jungle.
Obarski holds a slew of Concordia records including:
Field goals made (44)
Career points for a kicker (250)
Single game record for field goals made, (set four times during career, three times in 2014, once in 2013).
Second most points for a kicker in a single game (14) and the third most points in a game for kicker (13).
He also holds a school and Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference record for longest field goal (59, vs Augustana) and delivered NCAA Division II record-long field goals twice during career (59 vs Augustana, 56 vs Upper Iowa).
Obarski was one of few kickers selected to play in the Senior Bowl, where he impressed scouts by making a 49-yard field goal. CBS Sports ranks Obarski as the draft's eighth-best kicker.

What do we know about Burficts health? Has anyone really said anything about it? I have heard he'll start on the pup list , also have heard there's a good chance he won't play at all this season..
hopefully he can get back to original form, he takes this defense to a whole different level.
