It was malpractice for a NFL team to go into the season with the Dline players we had available. Can't blame this on money either. We could have traded Tee got compensation with money that was freed up sign a couple decent Dlinemen. This Defense might be historically bad aand it's because of the incompetence and arrogance of the front office thinking this dline would be competitive. Take away Tre and Georgia's Dline is more talented.

That's just it. They won't trade a player that wants traded. Then, other players will want traded.

But yes...trading Tee and getting say a couple 2nd Round picks and then freeing up what $20 million to spend makes sense.

Dalton's play against the Bengals and it's a 1:00 game....

What’s better than losing to a shit team?

Doing it on Monday Night Football so the whole world can see it.

Yeah they didn't want to trade Tee because they needed him this year. But I was thinking about this awhile back when having discussions about the Bengals not treating players properly. Why do other teams so willingly cave to trade demands? I always kind of thought they just caved. But it's really about just doing the best for all involved. Letting a player go somewhere he feels wanted while getting some compensation in return. Instead the Bengals just ask that player to accept and struggle thru it while not wanting to do too many offseason moves so you don't lose the compensatory pick.

Any given Sunday. What do you say?

Ready to move on from coaches who cant get their players ready for game day

The real question is what if we go 0-4?

No, you don't. Every Steeler fan that I know doesn't like Tomlin and holds him personally responsible for their lack of championships in the past 15 years. 

Next up, the Andy Dalton revenge Bengal beat down!

Thing is though, the Commanders were generally thought of as a shit team, but they're not. They are 2-0 and haven't had to punt in two straight games and are on top of their Division. They are playing good football.

Weren't you also saying the Patriots "aren't that bad" or whatever after they beat us? Just because a team beats us and it's early in the season so it makes their record look OK, it doesn't mean they are good.

Yeah, Jayden Daniels played flawless too. Hard to beat those guys when he plays like that. I didn't see a shit team last night at all.

Lots of talent all over the place, Scary Terry along with the rest of those weapons on Offense and Jonathan Allen and that D is not shit.

Bottom line is we couldn't force Daniels to screw up and turn the ball over honestly. It was a wild game where our Offense played very 
good and our Defense made a lot of plays but couldn't stop them when it mattered. I blame CTB a bit for this loss. Saw him talking shit
before this game and it was the last thing we needed to see when we hadn't even won a game yet.

One thing I can say though, if there is a team that could go 0-3 and make the Playoffs I think it is these Bengals if they can stop the run
soon. We actually have a running game and our weapons back, Mims looked good except for one play etc.

Nope, I don't think so, at least I don't remember that. They did not have to punt against the Giants either. A football team playing two straight games without their punter ever seeing the field doesn't mean they are bad.

They will win 7 games. They aren't good. They also couldn't score a touchdown against a bad Giants team. It was a terrible loss last night to a below average football team at home.

You know it. He probably will throw for 400 yards and 4TD's in his revenge game. Crap I'm too damn depressed today after the fiasco last night to even concentrate on work today. Our D is nasty, and not in a good way.

Im going to lose interest until they get .500.

I don't think Andy is really tied up in a "revenge game." He's played the Bengals 3 times already since leaving. I'm sure he's over it.
