But I agree Wink

Wow, I really thought Cook was a rookie. I guess it was because I didn’t consider 2007 due to being on PS and in 2008 he only played in 5 games all on ST before going on IR in mid-Oct. Good catch!

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!

Pro Football Weekly's predictions has us as having the worst record in the league next year at 4-12, one game behind the 5-11 Browns. They also have Geno Atkins not listed in the top-5 for INTERIOR defensive linemen. You know who they DO have? Cameron Heyward. Idiots.

Nope. Was reading the magazine as I was checking out of a grocery store. Couldn't believe it myself. They didn't even have Burfict in the top 20 for LB's. They actually had Kirkpatrick as "best of the rest" for CB though.

As Lynyrd Skynyryrd once said …."People said he was useless, them people all were fools." 

On the bright side though there may be a profitable  over/under Vegas line to bet on Bengals for us believers.

My gut says they are an 8-9 win team this year. Feels like it's one if those years the Browns get us once. They probably split with Baltimore. We know what happens when they play Pittsburg.

But... A lucky bounce here and there, and they could get 10 or 11 wins, and have a shot at the division.

I seriously would love to drop a few bucks in Vegas in favor of the Bengals winning the SB. Odds are probably ridiculous.

No problem!

I just remembered that people on the mothership were calling him a bum before he even started the season, because, "he hasn't seen meaningful time in 2 years; he'll be just as bad as Gutcheck."

Think Gutcheck had a great handshake and knew where to hit the ketchup bottle too?

And so it begins. I say hold him out all season in hopes we make a playoff game and play him then.

Eifert will never play another down. He's just collecting the 5.5m the Bengals were foolish enough to sign him for. They just struggle to let go. Who will we lose Dennard, Kroft, Dunlap, or Atkins, because we can't afford to extend them after wasting 5.5 in cap space for someone we all knew would never play again?

Actually his 1 year deal has no impact on extending anyone else from a cap stand point. That money is applied towards this year and any extension is in regards to future money unless they try to add extra signing bonus this year to take some pressure off the back, but that can still be accomplished. Either way, there are a lot of things about this not to like however this reason is not a reason at all.

I am in no way, shape, or form counting on Eiff to have any kind of impact on this team this year.

No biggie.

He says he feels fine, so that means that when he DOES get on the field, he'll play until he gets broken again... unless he's fully healed at that point.

Which means we'll get SOMETHING out of him...

On a twice surgically repaired back, not sure any back issue is a “tweak”, imho.

Yeah, pretty much of a waste. I had hoped, but bringing him back was a perfect example of the definition of insanity.

I'm not sure about that. They could have used that 5.5m to help extend Dennard this past offseason for example instead of re-signing Eifert. But we will probably lose him.

Why not? He has yet to play all 16 games in a season, and has only played in 10 games the last two seasons. 

Lol.  Worst part is someone that may have a legit chance to make the team will get shuffled out on cut day so Eifert can play 2 games this season.

Most likely so and worth a swing, but bet the over/under on season wins is almost a gimme.
