caring what happened was a different feeling, kind of numb.
Anyone else watch todays game with that attitude?

Yup. No BP spikes. Nothing.

Pretty much the same. I stopped worrying about the outcomes after the absolutely uninspired performance vs. Cleveland. I watch because the offseason is long and I'll miss football by the time March gets here.

I watched like a scout. Who is worth keeping, who should be sent packing. When they went for 2 before the end of the half (with a pathetic play call again) I knew they weren't going to win....and then, with 10 seconds on the clock, the Chargers drive down the field and kick a FG. It is almost like Groundhog Day...every opponent MUST score right before the half.

Can C Boling be our everyday LT and can we cut or trade C Glenn and save that $$$$$ What young player(s) looked the best? Can Billy Price get the job done at center? Can we go with the younger CBs and cut Dre and save that $$$

I thought he looked good as usual out there. If worst came to worst, you could play Glenn at LT and Boling at RT, or vice versa. I was impressed with the Ringo kid a few times. Looks like a nice practice squad find, but it's only one game. "Better send those refunds..."

Sue me, but the TD not given to Jeff and the extremely unlucky (for the Bengals) 59-yard field goal were the difference in yesterday's game. It made me feel good to see them play that well with a patchwork, second-string offense and a defense who had been getting kicked around for pretty much all year. I can't stop caring though I often wish I could and really hope the Bengals can win at least against the Raiders. After that, we'll see!

Im fine with swapping them, if Boling can play LT pay him and leave him there, he did well last year and this year Ringo I see as a guy busting his are to make a team, played with energy and enthusiasm, thats what we need for the last couple of weeks, guys busting tail to make the team for 2019

Agreed. We got a lot of effort out of Joe Mixon too. Actually, aside from John Ross doing his best Ced O impersonation, we got a lot of good effort out of the team yesterday. They got outclassed, but not necessarily outplayed, if that makes any sense. Just not enough bullets left in the chamber, but they hung tough and were competitive in a game I saw them getting smoked in leading up to it. There was some questionable play calls....like the 1st 2 point conversion, and the 4th & inches that should have been a sneak, IMO. However, it was nice to see them get aggressive and go for it, just needed better plays. All in all......I'd give them a C. It's a far cry from the F's they've been earning over the last several weeks. "Better send those refunds..."

After that, we'll see!This is funny because I just finished telling someone basically the same thing. Only the Bengals would get that touchdown reversed. BTW, it seems like every kicker in the league has his career longest field goal against the Bengals.

The rushing attack improved, however, which makes me wonder if Westerman should be out there at LG and maybe give Boling an offseason to try it? Price will improve, and is a very good long term prospect. Dre won't get cut because of much needed depth at the position.
