Ok. Carry on ….

What does that do to you? What does that do to the team? Do we say "seasons over?"  Does that leave a salty taste in the city? Does it leave a salty taste in the coaching staff and the FO against Chase's hold-in, or Tee's weakness, or our weak WR depth, or our weak RB squad, or our new OC? Does it put pressure on Zac or Lou?

Any given Sunday. What do you say?

He won……by a lot

GK didn’t really gain any meaningful ground


12 personnel looks like the move

I know this is a Captain Obvious statement but it really does make a huge difference moving forward. If that play had turned out to our satisfaction we are tied with the Chiefs and, in effect, we have a 1-game advantage over them because of the head-to-head win. Instead, we are essentially three games behind them--- 2 in the standings, plus the tie-breaker. So, instead of +1 over the Chiefs , we are a -3 . That's a four game difference because of the Chiefs' flag-assisted conversion on 4th and 16. It's still very early, but it's likely that if we meet the Chiefs again this season, it will likely be at Arrowhead. That's really too bad. Hopefully, we'll have the ball last in the next meeting and the stripes will throw the flag in our favor.

How likely do you think it is that we can overcome this three game hole we're in with respect to the Chiefs?

Starting to wonder has Chase peaked as a player or has defenses adjusted to him and his style?  Since a monster game 10/8 last 12 games ( I ignored last game of year stats) he is avg 68 yards and scored just 4 TDs. This is not top 5 WR numbers and he has looked pedestrian in route running our first 2 games.

Plans for a massive $1.25 billion dollar redesign of Paycor Stadium, the Bengals practice facility, and Mehring Way were release today at a meeting of the Hamilton County Commission.

https://www.fox19.com/2024/09/17/live-hamilton-county-commissioners-reveal-1-billion-paycor-stadium-renovation-plan/

if you click on the link you can see photo renderings of the plans

- facility sq footage expands from 1.4 billion to 1.9 billion
- Expand the concourse and plaza around the stadium to improve flow.  
- Adds 3 outward screens outside the stadium for viewing the game or practices
- A new North end with a new club-level
- new scoreboard
-new club viewing area along 50-yard line with patio and  view to the river
-new Hall of Champions
-new South end adding new reception facilities and food hall facing the river
-Mehring Way to be rerouted opening up the west side for a new grass lot for tailgating
-other renovations include additional escalators and bathrooms

and

A brand-new indoor practice facility will house ALL operations and offices.  The outdoor field will include a 2000-person grandstand

no dome as it was too expensive.  And those new club seats will come at the expense of regular seating.  Club seat money is not shared with the NFL
