These types of posts quit being funny a long time. Be better.

I'm still trying to figure out why he was banned other than for the offense of being annoying.

Strawberry, Lime, Strawberry-Lime. Super yum. 

I will fight you to the death on the Par 4 9th hole to prove it.

I like em on the rocks but i prefer them as a slushie. As good as they are though, nothing beats a Hurricane.

I love horror movies too. I don't meet a lot of people who do though.

If the wife isn't watching the TV, i'm sure to have it on one of about 5 different thriller/chiller/horror channels on youtubetv or Pluto.

Me too, but that's probably because I'm a nosy sonvabitch.

It's one of the few movie genres my wife and I agree on.

Obrien's Piano bar in New Orleans, let's just say a night my wife would like a do over. Knew she was in toruble when she went to the restroom and they have a huge mirror behind the stage, and I look up and see her knocking down chairs on way back. 

But yep, there are a great drink

Two defenses that fooled people into thinking Eli Apple and Terrance Newman (post Cowboys) were good.

I liked Zim's D better than Lou's though, there were times when they were really good. The NFL just past him by after he had
the Vikes Defense looking good that one year. When your Defense HAS to rely on turnovers to get a win, it just isn't good enough.

Have to make stops.

True, you aren't negative and you were right about Zac when everyone else wanted him fired.

I have only been a Bengal fan since 1989 and the near SB win against the 49ers and Montana, it hurt then, and it hurt big time last time.

I would be in hog heaven if we won a Super Bowl this year and I think even our regular negative posters would be.

But there would be some demented circus monkeys posting negative nancy dribble even after a SB win no question.

Brewskies is what I always have, red beer if it is too early, then go brewskies. They must have margaritas on the beer cart eh?

Never really thought about grabbing a margarita, that would sweet. Love tequila much more than bourbon, just me.

Never heard anyone calling margaritas a girls drink before. I guess tequila does make their clothes fall off so there is that...

Completely agree, if you can handle the hangover you are tough. My brother in law drinks that stuff and dude can handle his liquor.

I stick to the brewskies while my family is all hung over lol

(Yesterday, 10:06 AM)Bengalbug Wrote: What seasons are you referring to?

I'm guessing that he's taking about the 2021 and 2022 seasons. Which is ironic, because the defense came up with takeaways and timely stops to get them to the Superbowl and had them within one floundering Left Guard away from walking off with the Lombardi in the 2021 season. The defense also played extremely well in the 2022 playoff run, just one unfortunate defensive penalty away from a return trip to the SB. 

While definitely not the stifling, shut down defenses of the Bears, Ravens and Steelers glory years, they played more than well enough to give the offense a chance to win every game. The problems for Lou and Bengal defense started when Lou began running out of free agent veterans to lead his overly complicated scheme and exposed his failure to teach it to the young, drafted talent in a way that they could easily understand and implement. With Coach Golden being fresh out of the college ranks, I have a feeling that some of these recent draft picks that have been slow to launch might look a bit better.

Naw, just stick two or three of these in the golf bag, a small cooler of ice and a solo cup. They also have other cocktails in the same type cans.

Nice, will have to do that. On hot days that sounds perfect. I love brewskies but they can get warm on hot days and nobody loves warm beer.

(Yesterday, 10:06 AM)Bengalbug Wrote: What seasons are you referring to?

Doesn’t really matter under Zach Taylor. They rely on TO to stop the other team. 

Last season, no stops against Philadelphia and 1 stop against Washington. You can’t outscore every team, scoring 27.8 points a game and giving up 25.5 points a game is not going to cut it. 

In both playoff years, they relied on TO to stop the other team. You have to be able to make the opposing team punt the ball once in a while.


Burrow lead the league in passing by 300 yards, yet we finished 31st in rushing.  That’s not a good combination.

(Yesterday, 07:51 AM)Sled21 Wrote: How do you know they haven't?

I think there's a LOT of positives about this defense coming into 2025. 

New DC, New DL coach, New LB coach.  I truly believe this will make a huge difference this year. 

I also don't think the last 5 games of 2025 were an illusion either.  

I think you're going see good years from Murphy, Ossai. I think adding Slaton is HUGE.  Trey will be signed to an extension its just a matter of when.  

I think Stewart will grow this year.  I even think we have a ton of talent at DB/S.   

If this unit can be top 15, hell even top 20 defense in 2025, you'll see AFC North Champs in January.
