Zak said Dunlap was dropped as a starter because he did not make enough tackles against runners.

Yeah we are but that's how we like it! Someone tell us about the OL we got (B.J. Finney) from Seattle. I can go read his stats but stats don't really tell the whole story.

Going young I see!

We have Trey Hopkins who is a good center but hurt right now. Billy Price sucks and looks to be a wasted draft. Hopkins can play Hart's position though so maybe that's their plan, God knows we need a plan to get shed of Hart. Have to wait and see I guess.

Damn as if it wasn't bad enough with everyone there, the Bengals will not have 4 of the starters on the OL today; if not for the chance Burrows gets hurt it would not be a big deal......

I think Steelers by 10 or more but whomever wins this may be the best game on today. The shakiest game I see is Cowboys/Eagles even with Cowboys QB's out.

Nice pick 6 for Steelers good start!

Loving the game in Cincy right now but damn the announcers are really bad, may as well have Max Kellerman announcing lol!

Go Dolphins!!!!

Damn so this is what winning feels like! Who Dey Baby!!!!

Yeah Pitt! I need the Dolphins come on baby!!

If your Cincy you fire his ass at the end of this season period.

He should be suspended indefinitely and have hearing next season to decide if he's going to be reinstated or serve further suspension.

Eric if you are just here to troll take your ass somewhere else.

When I say that I think he should have to have a hearing before reinstated. Do you think his reaction would have been any different if the Helmets were off?

Well we all have our opinion as it should be. I know the players do not like him and have put voice to those concerns. Chuck are you happy with his play calling??? Maybe that's all that needs be done, get a real offensive coordinator I don't know. I too am not a fan of switching coaches but just like Ross you can't wait 4yrs to decides he sucks, his cards are on the table and they're not Aces. I know Cincy will leave him in place just as they did Shula when he came here but that doesn't help the team or the fan base. I hear you speak of Lapham all the time, you should look up his assessment of Zak, not flattering.

Terry was one of the best people I've ever had the pleasure to know. He loved animals, people, and the Bengals even though at times all stressed him out, he never turned his back on any.

JJ has waited to long given his injury history and years in the league he's on the down side of his career. I know he could still provide some help for any team but not what he could have brought say 5yrs ago to a contender. He'll get a chance more than likely if he can get free of Texans but it may only be one chance. He should contact Pitt and get a ring with his brother and yes, I'm saying Ben is going to put the Steelers in position to win another ring this year. I hate the Steelers but give credit where credit is due.

That's 'cause the other forums suck!

Pitt 4th quarter come back!

Brady and AB on the field tonight, could be interesting.

That was one monumental ass whipping the Bucs took last night. Brady look completely inept and clueless.

I know they didn't run much but Brady did not throw the ball well at all. His passes were either behind the receiver or to low most of the time. The Bucs defense didn't play well either but in their defense they didn't get much rest and that'll wear them down quick.

Joe is getting the job done that's for damn sure. Hopefully they'll increase their lead.

These are the days I miss my buddy most, he would have been texting me and calling me throughout the game today. Still hard to believe Terry is gone.

Patent AB behavior.

True, if not for TB he would not even be playing.

Looks like Dunlap paid some dividends for Seahawks at least in this game. He had 2 sacks I know of but I was popping in and out of the game while listening to some Zeppelin and Meatloaf. Pulled up some old Uriah Heap (Sweet Freedom Album) to listen to "Stealin when I shoulda been buying" one of my old favs from the 70's

I'm beginning to wonder about Mixon's injury. The Bengals site really hasn't said much or specifically said what it is. He may have spoke up like Dunlap and Atkins did which like them may spell the end.

Don't you find it odd they will not name his injury other than a *foot* injury and now placed him on injured reserved? I only question it due to Geno having been on a radio talk show stating he was 100% while the Bengals were reporting him injured which he's states is not the case.

WTF fumble into the endzone for a touchback then brought out fumbled back into the endzone for a touchback then a holding penalty excepted and replay 4th down. This is a new one on me lol

I think Cincinnati would do better to just pick someone out of the stands to kick for them....pathetic

Zak and Bullock deserve each other both suck at what they do.

20yrs is that all??/ lol I've been watching Cincy suck since 1968.

Pillsbury dough boy off the upright, at least this one was a long kick.

Change his name to Randy Bullshit

Well they finally got Joe hurt and it looks like his knee. Fucking HC and his bullshit!!!!

Don't know if they're just blowing smoke up fans asses but Bengals site says Joe tore MCL and ACL and that his injury is comparable to Palmers, of coarse they add he's expected to come back. HC shares a lot of the blame here, he said OL was fine all off season in response to why they weren't getting any help. He also was the sole reason they gave B. Hart a 3 year extention....to the worst lineman in the NFL. I really feel awful for the kid, he truly had a bright future ahead of him, like I said before preseason it was shaping up to be another D. Klingler episode. Been a fan since '68 but have reached the point I don't don't knowif it's worth the investment anymore. I'd never stop watching football but may end up divesting my interest in Cincy.

LOL not hardly I've been beat up already. You may win the division and get the first rd pick too, something to celebrate. Nah if I stop following Cincy I'll just watch whomever and just root for my bet money lol.

Hell he should be used to it after all he was in Cincy with their shitty OL. Shame you guys lost whit he's a top notch player all way round even in his later years now.

Allen was supposed to be better than Finely??? I can't tell

No it was a keystone cops marathon

Village people and most of US love that chili!

When you top the cut in the hill and know your home

cover cinti skyline (resized).jpg

Damn looks like the Eagles D came to play tonight!

Wow it really doesn't matter what game you watch the refereeing in the NFL is at an all time low. The last 3 weeks have simply been atrocious. The league needs to look at suspending the refs or fines for some of this BS.

Titans are really up and down, hell the Bengals beat them as well.

As it should be the SB winner will come out of the AFC this year.

3 fumbles by the Bengals, they don't want to win obviously

That was a damn good game. The Browns are making a statement in the AFC North.

Hell of a lot of fantasy talk for a group that doesn't want to discuss it........

Another Zak Taylor victim, Geno put on IR which is very suspicious considering he spoke out against Taylor last week on Boomers radio show. Last time that happened was when Geno and Dunlap spoke out on Laphams show and Dunlap got traded few weeks later.

Could be true I just have no faith in anything Taylor says after the earlier incident where he claimed one thing and the players said another then traded them.

Just got home from work and from the looks of the score this has been a good game. What did I miss anything good?

So Raiders are going with Mariota for the rest of the season? Herbert looks to be the real deal excited for the Bolts. Bengals as you know lost our QB due to our dumb ass HC. I'm hopeful he'll be able to come back.

Clemson dominated Notre Dame tonight, looks like the Jets are going to get something special in Trevor Lawrence with the first pick.

Once the cancer has been removed the body begins to heal.............

Cause that's what they do

Perfect example of why Taylor should not be a HC. 22 seconds left and he calls a timeout...for what even if you get the ball back they punt it and you have no shot...fucking joke, let the clock run.

These two teams have always hated one another.

Not likely, he'd been better off to let it run, you got a 17 pt lead and get the ball to start the 3rd qtr.

I know they will Jay. I've said it many times Mike Brown and company are loyal to a fault, it's just disheartening for those of us who are fans. Taylor's players have no faith in him and have spoken out on multiple occasions.

Well gotta call it a night have to be into work at 5am, hope the Bengals hold out lol.

Woke up to the win!!!!! How aboot those Bengals. Going to finish watching the last half of the 4th qtr. when I get off tonight. Man the only bitter thing is my buddy Who Dey wasn't here to revel in it, I know he's grinnin' from ear to ear right now.

Posting is a pain in the arse when on my cell phone lol. Doesn't seem like I'm seeing everything or it's laid out differently.

Merry Christmas to all of you guys. Hope your teams get in the playoffs and brighten this otherwise dim 2020 for all.

Where's the defense, both appear to score at will.

Damn came home from work to a Bengals win!! I had the game taping so I'll watch it here after I eat. 2 wins in a row, that's gotta be a record lol, nice to win for a change.

Well after watching the tape of the game I have to wonder if anyone knows how to tackle on the Bengals defense. They could have stopped a number of runs and had several sacks if they just wrapped up instead of merely hitting the target. This is something I've noticed since last year with the difference it appears more prevalent this season than last. Happy for the win but they desperately need to correct it to move forward next season. I have to give Allen credit it was the best game I've ever seen from him so maybe they will consider keeping him as a backup next year.

Wow either you have a serious comprehension problem or is it just grade school level reading abilities? If you read and understood my sentences you would have noticed I actually said this:

What's mind blowing is your constant patronizing attitude and lack of respect for others as if anyone's comments are irrelevant except yours.

OSU has never been known for producing great QB's unless you consider maybe and it's a Big maybe Art Schlichter but I think he was better known for his gambling. OSU put out RB's and Lineman with a few receivers here and there.

You guys talk a good game. Let me state this. I don't send Pm's or talk shit. I've been at Pincinnati every year since it started and will be there next year and every year afterwards so if you'd like to meet me be my guest. If that's not good enough I also fish every year in Michigan and would be more than happy to make that date and location public if you're so inclined. Yeah I'm 60+ and a 16 yr vet from an era you have absolutely no understanding of so if you feel disrespected don't talk shit just show. You guys disrespected Who Dey constantly but never had the nuts to back it up, I'm offering you the chance. The constant BS gets old put up or shut up.

Sorry guys it just gets tiresome, you can't have a decent conversation without the BS interjecting. Same old same old from a few select sources and it's just completely unnecessary and to quote someone "it's just pinball and football" so leave the snide remarks and BS out of it. If what goes on here is ribbing or just joking someone needs to consult a dictionary for those meanings. I get along with anyone and everyone and give respect when given respect but I don't tolerate down right demeaning behavior from anyone. I also don't hold grudges or plan assaults life to short for that crap, I simply stand for my beliefs, say what I mean and do what I say there's no middle ground.

You have to agree that college QB's over say the last decade have come into the NFL better prepared than ever. Most of the schools now all run NFL style play which has resulted in a lot more college QB's starting faster than ever and having better results when inserted. I haven't researched but I believe the success rate has steadily gone up since the mid 90's, that's not to say the failure rate it still not considerable but I do think it's lower.

Big return by Buff to start it off!

The Pats defense just couldn't hang past the first qtr.. I enjoyed seeing that usually smug look wiped off Bill's face, high time they and their fan base learn some humility. Has it been long enough to declare Tom can win without Bill but that it appears Bill struggles to win without Tom, or do we wait a couple more seasons?

He certainly is one of the greats if not the best. The only time I can remember him not doing very well was his tenure in Cleveland but to be fair he did take them to the playoffs once I think in '95 or '94.

Joe namath with the Jets and then the Rams?

With the asterik wouldn't Doug Williams qualify? I know he won a SB with Washington and Tampa bay?

He won a championship with tampa I think.

I didn't think he qualified because I thought he came in mid season for washington as the backup and won or am I wrong?

Cincinnati lost by a point and thus far OSU is blowing Clemson out. Looks like OSU vs Alabama for the national championship.

Honestly I don't think Philly has a chance to win that game, they've just been completely out of sync all year while Washington has steadily improved.

Sucks since I reentered the work force I'm having to work every weekend and miss the damn games. I do tape them but you know it's just not the same especially when you already know the outcome lol. That being said though I hope Cincy beats Baltimore even though there's no incentive other than personal pride for them to do so, even lees if you consider draft position in the mix. Well 2yrs and my wife will be old enough to retire and I'll call it quits again and the extra 2 years will boost my payments a little too.

Just got home from work to a dismal loss by the Bengals, at least I'll be able to watch the Washington game so not all is lost.

Smith will end up in worse shape than he was if he doesn't call it quits. I admire his fortitude and dedication but at some point you gotta just call it a day.

Fu@# no! I'm not happy they kept the DC Anarumo either the defense has never looked so pathetic, especially our pass rush. I'm glad they let Turner goes too anyone who feels Bobby (the Bum) Hart is a real player needs therapy. I don't have anything against Taylor and he may be a good QB coach he's just not ready for the HC position. That's just my opinion and I know everyone has one lol.

Exactly I mean the Bengals beat the Titans and the Steelers so it does happen, personally I think TB will win but who knows maybe Chase Young harasses Tom enough he's ineffective.

Lol hell no we'll pass may as well ask Shula to come back! lol

Fact is the Steelers are not that much better with Big Ben at QB. Ben's a first time HOF and that's a fact but he's not what he was and is simply trending down in what has been a fabulous career so yeah I can see the Browns winning it easily

I've said it before I'd love to see the Bengals lure Harbaugh out of Michigan. I know he hasn't done well in College ball but I think he was damn effective in the NFL and he's hard nosed which we need. Another Forest Greg or Paul Brown himself.

Damn shame it had to happen during the playoffs for the Browns.

I think it will come down to the Bills and KC for the AFC championship. Seattle and GB for the NFC. Bills and GB for SB.

I just don't think they are playing at the level they were in the beginning of the season, same with the Steelers I thought in the over the first games they were on their way to another SB appearance and said so but they are really struggling and it's at the wrong time for these teams. I like and respect both QB's Ben and Drew but at this stage of their careers I don't think either can carry their teams to the finish alone.

I don't know man those Bills fans want this awfully bad and they are playing very good ball right now on both sides of the line.

I don't know who to go with really in this Rams/Seahawks game. My instinct or maybe I should rephrase that to "in stink" the way I've picked this year is to go with Seattle but in truth I feel it's about 50/50. Both teams have shown the tendency to be up and down all year. I'm going with Seattle only because they appear to be playing a little better right now.

Really sucks I'm going to miss the games today as I have to work. I'll be able to check in now and then for scored is about all and settle for watching tapes later tonight. GOOD LUCK BUFFOLO!!!!

Just got home from work and see the Bills and Rams won! Looks like Washington is trying to hang in there. QB just got hurt that means 3rd string for Washington from here out i guess.

Getting away from Washington now, they are in a must score situation right now if they want to have any chance of winning.

Glad I got to watch the last qrt of the game, Washington played a great game and just may have found a starter for next season at qb.

I think the Browns will win that game. I really thought the Steelers had a realistic shot at another SB until about mid season and since they've simply not played very well. The Steelers will have to stop the run and pass rush pressure on Ben to win. The Browns will have to get over the psychological aspect of not being in the playoffs for so long.

Yeah Baker is not great under pressure and they will have to have the run game going. Big Ben was never really mobile just big and strong for a QB but he has zero mobility now late in his career. Should the Steelers play like they did the first 5-6 games they will be hard to beat, they need to reawaken their run game too.

Wow just got home from work to discover someone let the dogs out!

The Browns look ready for the playoffs that's for damn sure

Browns perhaps have the best run game in the league right now and it is going to make them hard to beat.
