In 2008 the Bengals had a starting QB in his prime who had been to 2 Pro Bowls and finished in the top 5 in MVP voting. The Bengals were struggling even before Palmer was injured and were 0-5 when they benched him for the year due to a torn ligament in his elbow. Their back up that year had a career 0-3 record and the lowest QB rating of any QB in the league with over 100 attempts (58.3). But The team rallied and finished 4-6-1. That back up QB went on to start 147 NFL games throwing for almost 35,000 yards and 223 tds (31 in 2015). Could Browning be another Ryan Fitzpatrick?

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

I’m grateful that we are all in this roller coaster ride that is our Bengal fandom together.

Last offseason, we tried to improve the line but it just didn't happen. I went into this season thinking the line would be a strength and I had such high hopes that I put down a lot of money on bets for the team and also for individual awards for Burrow and Chase.

Burrow has never had a decent line here and has still taken us to a play from winning the ship and an AFCC game, so will we go all-out to bring in a decent line to make sure he doesn't have a short career and to win the big one?

What do we need to do to fix the line this offseason? Bring in free agents? Draft lineman? Replace Pollack? Replace Zac?

Jonah is likely leaving in free agency, so I've seen us taking a tackle in the first round, but what else needs to be done? Free agents?

Or is it as simple as replacing Pollack?

Or will it be another wasted year?

Tyler is the Bengals nominee for the 2023 Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award. Tyler is in his 8th season and is the longest-tenured Bengal.

Also nominated for their teams were former Bengals Kevin Zeitler for the Ravens and Larry Ogunjobi for the Steelers. Apparently those teams needed a Bengals influence to have players with sportsmanship

Bengals-Jacksonville remain on Monday night Dec 4th

A home game win by Black and Orange vs Black and Yellow.

He was voted as the most underrated player in the NFL.

"Sometimes on-field production doesn’t always lead to players getting the respect they deserve," the article read. "Regardless of how well some perform, their names aren’t brought up as much when discussing the top guys at their respective positions. Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins led the vote, but there are a multitude of players who received recognition among their peers for being underrated."

The talented wideout is in a contract season as he projects to be the top free-agent wide receiver available this coming offseason.

He's had a down year production-wise (27 catches, 328 yards, two scores), but the NFL knows what kind of player he can be.

Seems some of us are getting our wish as the Bengals look to move forward at safety with Battle. Scott got the 12th man on the field penalty against the Ravens and didn't play another snap.

This answers who takes the practice squad QB spot with McCarron activated. It may seem small, but what if another QB gets injured. Plitt has practiced in the Zac Taylor playbook before getting cut in 2022. It's getting rather late in the season to learn the playbook. Hopefully no more QB injuries and he never has to be activated for a game this last part of season.
