Jeremy Hill’s ball security could be an issue

Eifert worries me; Kroft does not

Little makes the team

Hunt showed something

PJ Dawson will be a starter soon

Peko is done

Shaw is a gamer


What are yours?

Just wondering if someone knew if there was going to be a late showing for the people in the Dayton area.

I am certain this will catapolt us to the Super BOWL!!!!



WHO DEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A funny read, especially the responses from Bengal fans. Though a lot of it is painfully close to the mark.

Have you guys seen this article on Hill?  http://www.cincyjungle.com/2015/8/23/9191877/growing-up-right-in-front-of-our-eyes-jeremy-hill-the-leader

 As if I wasn't pumped enough for this season and to see what he could do for a full season, I'm even more so now!!  I loved what we saw out of him last year and can only think this year is going to be even better.

Just a heads up that not only does Big Ben do the voiceovers on the menus but you're also tasked with helping the Steelers win Super Bowl 50 in the intro.

I'm playng Tecmo Bowl this year.

Whatever happened the benjarvis green ellis? Hard to believe he hasnt been signed by someone...anyone hear anything about him lately? Maybe he retired. I thought he was a decent player and there are a few teams that could use him.

I will say this of Carter:  I really liked what I saw, in albeit very limited action, against the Giants.  With MJ down, let him have some snaps against Tampa's #1s on third down.  I like the idea of a different guy rushing the passer.  By this, I mean that MJ, Clarke, Hunt, are all long, powerful guys.  Those types of guys never do much against a guy like Whitworth, but if Whit and Andre struggle with anything it is the smaller, faster rush end. 

I like the flexibility a guy like Carter provides in that they could attack the opposing OTs with what they have struggle stopping. 

Nice article, Butch.

There was an interview with the local guy covering the putzburg steelers on NFL Network the other day.  They were going over the perceived strengths and weaknesses of the team, their injury status to certain players, and their general outlook for the season.

Being who they are, of course they feel this could be a Super Bowl caliber team.  As they went through both sides of the ball, I couldn't help but see the similarities between the current steeler team and the 2005 Bengals.  High-powered offense.  Multiple threats at WR.  Strong running game.  Strong (puke) QB play.  However, there are lots of concerns on the defense.  A lack of a pass rush.  Inexperience in the secondary.  They concluded that to make the big game, they would need to step it up defensively because they might have a tough time outscoring teams like Indy and New England.

As I was comparing what I think I know about this year's Bengal's squad.  I see the Bengals more like the 2005 steeler team:  Strong defense.  Depth in the secondary.  Veterans.  Tough defensive line.  A good offense, but not an "air-it-out-all-day" type...more balanced.  A strong running game (something the Bengals have not had in some time).  Experienced.  The Bengals aren't really relying on too many rookies to be impact players.  They have a fairly experienced, veteran group at the key positions on both sides of the line.

I sure hope the season ends for this year's Bengals the way it ended for that 2005 putzburg team.
