Released by the 49ers today. He's still just in his age 24 season and maybe Burrow can re-tap into what made him a 2nd round pick. I am also just done with Charlie Jones.

The Jets have given him permission to seek a trade.

If you had tickets to the Eagles game on the 27th, the game now has a 1 PM kickoff instead of the national 4:25 game time slot. For some reason the NFL seems to think the Commanders with Jayden Daniels vs the Bears with Caleb Williams will be a better, more interesting game.

Well with the 0-3 start we dug a big hole, duh. And our margin for error now is thin, very thin. IMHO we need to go a minimum of 9-2 over the last 11 to have a shot at playoffs and really 10-1 wouldn't hurt. Sucks

Deshaun Watson has been hot garbage all season they're only averaging like 15 points a game. Watson has yet to throw for 200 yards in a game and his completion % is just a tick over 60. And their defense hasn't been what it was either.

If we can keep from getting gashed on the ground and keep JB upright I like our chances.

Bengals - 27

Browns - 16

Their first win over the Giants in NJ/NY.

Second win ever in NJ. Their only other win was in 2022 against the Jets.

They never won a game in the Meadowlands in NJ against the Giants or Jets.

I was at a Thanksgiving game against the Jets in the Meadowland cold, rainy.

Now that our defensive line is healthy, I'm really liking our outlook for the rest of the season because they looked damn good!

BJ Hill specifically looked good but I also was impressed with Hendrickson's play, as well the rest of the defensive line.

To me, our defensive line is the main factor in our success this year because, if we can stop the run and get to the passer, we can outscore anyone and teams won't be able to run the ball to keep our offense off the field.

Our pass blocking was rough but the Giants do have a solid pass rushing defense. We need to improve in that area because we will play other teams with good pass rushes.

Bottom line is that I'm liking our outlook because we're back healthy and I feel like we're clicking on all cylinders.

We do need to eliminate the mental mistakes and the unforced and forced errors, like Moss's fumble in their territory.

Anyways, I'm liking our outlook!

Who-Dey!

BJ Hill having a great game in his first time back to NYG led me to wonder was Trading Billy Price for BJ Hill the best trade in Bengal's history. Of course, there are others and that's the reason for the thread. Which trade would you nominate for Greatest in Bengal history.

Offense Top 5
Joe Burrow 82.3
Tee Higgins 81.4
Jamar Chase 71.1
Ted Kara's 70.6
Amarius Mims 68.0

Defense Top 5
Mike Hilton 82.8
BJ Hill 79.8
Jordan Battle 73.7
Sam Hubbard 68.6
Germaine Pratt 68.5

What we got Sunday night was a lunch pail victory. Workmanlike, not very exciting, a slog to watch and as Burrow said "ugly".

These games happen. What we need (and I was glad to see) is to show we can win the ugly games. Winning ugly is still winning.

Our next game is the Stains. I'm hoping we play a complete game and dominate on both sides of the ball but as long as it is a W I'll take ugly again. And let's not be the team Watson gets well against.

10 Things I Think I Think after 1/3rd of the season.

1. I think I miss having a workhorse back.
2. I think Yoshi is a WR4, but the only reliable receiver we have outside of the BIG 2. Which means they still aren't prepared to lose TEE after seeing it coming for the last 2 years. Which brings me to....
3. I think Chuck Fizzle has disappointed in both returns and any potential as a receiving option.
4. I think Marion Hobby should be on the hot seat. Just not enough development from our draft picks.
5. I think I expected more of an impact from Gesicki in the passing game.
6. I think we should expect some rough starts for Mims, and should withhold judgement until after a full season.
7. I think the rookie of the year on Offense is All, defense is Anthony.
8. I think the Offensive MVP is Burrow.
9. I think the Defensive MVP is Hendrickson.
10. I think I'm interested in what you think after 1/3rd of the season has passed?
