Christmas Eve. The Bengals at home against Detroit. They might get 20,000 people if they give the tickets away and offer a pre game tour of the Ben-Gal locker room (with the Ben-Gals still in it).
Exciting stuff!

Do I care? NO!
No one on the team including coaches cares, so why should I?

We have tickets, so we'll go and make the best of it. I'm a fan of both teams, so at least I'll get to see the Lions win. Ho ho ho.

I love me some Marvin Jones, so it’ll be fun seeing him back in the building. I just wish it was for a meaningful game. I’d love to see him make Dre K look silly all day long.
As far as the actual outcome, no I don’t care one bit. Hopefully we get to see a few impressive individual performances.

Although the chances are 1 in a million that a tight spiraled ball with the speed of a bullet leaves Stafford's hand and strikes Marvin in the temple? I can't take that chance of missing it. I will be watching. Kinda like the one below, but much harder and his head flies off.

Excited to watch Marvin Jones school this team.
Our only hope is if WJ3 blankets him.
Hopefully Kirkpatrick is back to really emphasize the massive screw ups the front office has made.
I'm thinking Marvin goes for 159 yards and 2 TDs on 6 receptions.

Has the appeal of an exhibition game.
Bengals will lose.
They won't score in second half unless they are down by 30 and Lions D basically concedes a score ( like Vikings)

At this point, I only care about who the next HC will be and the Bengals getting as high a draft pick as possible.

I'll have football on TV all day while family is at the house because of fantasy football championships.
But no way in hell would I care to go to that game, and I hope that that stadium is less than half-full to hopefully send a message that the fans no longer will accept "just not being the worst."
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
Sorry for Party Rocking!

And just like last year, there won't be a selection that a majority of the fan base will be in favor of.
If it's OT, some fans will say it was a big reach.
If it's OG/C, some fans will say that player has no shot of getting a second contract.
If it's WR - "WR was just taken last year!"
If it's CB - "Great, another damn CB. Why do we need 4-5 first-round CBs?!"
If it's DT - "We have Atkins already!"
If it's DE - "We have Dunlap and just drafted Lawson and Willis last year!"
If it's QB - "We already have Dalton and McCarron!"
If it's TE - "Great, here comes another hurt player who we won't extend!"
If it's LB - "We need offense, not defense!"
If it's S - "We have bigger needs than a safety! Iloka and Williams aren't top-tier but they're fine!"
With how the OL prospects are stacking up, knowing Mike Brown puts less priority on interior OL, and seeing how much the defense has been declining, I'm starting to become more in favor of defense in Round 1.

If Mikey promises to play QB and gets sacked multiple times before the first 2 minutes then stays in the whole game I would be interested in caring..otherwise..uhh..no.

I'll probably tune into the game, but if they look anything like the last 2 weeks...

I’ll watch and root for a win, but I don’t care. A loss just means a better draft pick.

True, but then this message board would be interesting again. We need a good topic for debate. All we've got is who can make the most damning argument of the Bengals/Mikey/Merv.

Just goes to show how many holes there are on this team. I’d be fine with any of those positions except CB and WR.
