Still BS though

I will tell you what I was really impressed with yesterday though...  the quality of the stitching on Geno's jersey!    It was being pulled so hard on about every single series, I was surprised it didn't get ripped at least four or five times yesterday.  But no, it held up and he wore the same jersey all day!  Not that is quality gear right there!

All Geno can do is occupy 2 defenders. If he does that then hes his old all pro self imo. Where's Dunlap been is MY question. Dude should have a sack by now. Funny the guy you called out is the only guy on the team besides Will Clarke that even has a sack.


I'm actually surprised we only have 2 sacks in 2 games.

Our Offensive and defensive lines cant be crappy at the same time or this season isn't gonna go good

Where was Dunlap? Getting tackled by Jesse James. Watch this bullshit.

Oh, and the NFL is taking down Lance McAlister's videos he is posting on twitter.

Marv already tip toes around the league and the officials like he is afraid to start his car when he gets home.

Even raising your voice in disgust to an official would likely get you in the same boat as Burfict.  

There is only one thing they can do:  overcome it.  Be better.  We all know that we won't get calls.

Late hit on Dalton that knocked his helmet off and rode him in to the dirt

That is just one game!  The Bengals have someone that puts together video clips and sends it to the league after every game. The NFL states that this is the only acceptable form of protest.  Complaining in the media will be viewed as an attack on the integrity of the game and will not be tolerated.  They are already doing all they can within the scope of the rules.

But we better make sure that we clearly only had a few infractions ourselves before we get the media laid out because we didn't do their homework 

If we can do a snap for snap analysis with a vine to back it all up and send it to everyone the league ends up with egg on their face.  And none of it attributable to the team.
