So you're not going to be on the boards all season long?

Thank GOD.

I was under the assumption that why would any team trade for Siebert, if on Tuesday the Bengals are gonna cut him anyway.  

Yes, would be waived, then signed to PS.

Teams may trade if they need a K and don't want to go through the waiver process, which may cause them to lose out on the player.

Yeah the back end of the roster......vs....the back end of the roster.  You don't garner a culture of winning by giving up two TD's in the final 6 minutes to lose.....and you go into the season on a losing note

Lol no it isn't anything to get your panties in a wad over......but it is the Bungles any way you look at it

Yeah they gotta contain the qb better and do a bit better in coverage there. But these are backups. They actually had a lot of people out there on D that will make the team.

I’m not too concerned. This doesn’t really have any bearing on the regular season. It’s hard to know what to expect yet. It’s good to see a lot of the Bengals seem really confident and expect to win a lot this year. Hopefully that comes to fruition.

I would have liked to see them kick the field goal at the end there as that’s what you would do in the regular season to force OT. But they went for the win. It’s preseason. I think they got all the evaluation in that they needed.

I get what you're saying, but these guys are still professionals (at least they were last night)  plus there is only a limited amount of space to catch a ball on the side of the end zone.  It's not like the guy just outran them for the hail mary.  The DB was an inch away from deflecting it too....o win the game....then the luck  of the Bungles rears its ugly head

Why not get started early?  I mean we all know what is likely to happen.  Unless you're just one of these people that is bothered by absolutely nothing you'll be a part of the drama queen club after the first couple games lol

Lol doesn't matter. Pre season, regular season, post sea.........oh yeah that's right.......pre season, regular season it'll still be the same old song.  What is the consensus record prediction...5-12??

Ok....don't make an assessment on the pre season.  What exactly has changed with the starters on this team to give you any confidence in the regular season?  Having a better O line isn't saying much when you're replacing the worst OL in the league.

Who said I had confidence? Our coaching staff is littered with absolute bums. There have been changes on both sides of the ball though. I'm just not running around prognosticating bad records after a goofy end to a meaningless game when the guys who will suit up in two weeks were chilling.

That dude was doin' it to poke at a traditionally super optimistic member, and then claiming he'd be back to prove how awesome he is at this kind of thing. That's lame.

Soooooo...take how Burrow played last year and give him a better Oline. Give him another athletic WR. Give him a healthy Mixon and a younger version of Gio. Give him a better TE room. 

Give the defense a better, deeper Dline and a better back end, which already has one of the best safeties in the league and some young, athletic LBs with a couple years experience now. 

Give the special teams a kicker that can knock it through from 55+. 

Watch how much better the 1st team looked in the first 2 preseason games. 

All that and you're going to sit there and say "What has changed"???

I'm not going to answer that. I'm just going to save links to a few of these types of posts so i won't have to search for them later and ask you and others about it.

There were no “Bungles” when Paul Brown was alive. There were no “Bungles” from 2003-2006, certainly not in 2009, and not between 2011-2015.

[JWW1971]

Maybe when our own fans stop calling our team the "Bungles"

[*Awful Llama*]

Stop with the "Bungles" bullshit, already.  That was this idiot's schtick:



And, last time I checked, he was still dead.

Board is eating itself early this year.

Maybe if Mike Brown sells unfortunately. I hope I’m wrong!

This is without question a better defense than we had last year.Much better.

NFL teams don't care who wins preseason games.  At the end they just want them to end before anyone gets injured.

I can probably give you twenty examples of teams that had great seasons without winning in preseason and the same number of teams who went undefeated in preseasn and stunk in regular season.

Sad when "fans" love to complain so much that they whine and cry about getting better.

We signed the tenth highest paid RT in the league to replace Hart.

We brought in a new 0-line coach.

And we will have a completely new lineup. Williams, Su'a-filo, and Spain never played together last year.

And finally, I know how much "fans" like you love to spin things in order to shit on the Bengals, but I have to pont out that there were SEVEN teams that allowed a higher sack percentage than the Bengals and also SEVEN teams that had a lower average per carry in the run game.  Our O-line was bad last year, but probably not the worst in the league.

[RunKijanaRun]

If OL or LB is next to their name, bring them in for a lookie-loo.

I'm convinced that little, pipsqueak bastard sold his soul to the devil for a few trophies. 

Mike is pretty old now. He should do the same thing.
