Joe will put on his swim cap and take the yellow stream of disappointment emotionlessly dead cold

Burrow will retire ringless. That's good enough right there to smile about

I disagree. The shield will give him his version of SB 50 eventually.

Oh i know. It's pathetic, frustrating and then more frustrating. They're literally 3 plays away from being 7-3, the #5 seed half a game behind the Steelers.

Incredible how wide that thin line is and not surprising that it's the Bengals in this situation. The narrative between the Ravens/Bengals, Lahmuur/Burrow would be 180 degrees different. Burrow would probably be leading the MVP voting instead of being around 7-8th. But in Bengaland it should be expected that they continue to give themselves the short end of the stick with their all to predictable incompetence and ignorance.

Case in point. Rivals will cry about the refs and luck in the Chiefs v Donks game but it's not luck when you notice another team's weakness and exploit it. You know the last time i heard about the Bengals doing something like that? Probably never. Not any time that comes to mind, at least.

:banghead:

And the crazy shit is the Bengals could realistically be 8-7 heading into the final two games of the season if they just got their shit together a little.


I always love hearing the details of those plays, because it does make it seem far less random... they were still ****ing lucky to win the game, but yeah knowing they were scheming for it puts it in a better light.

This has been the weirdest season ever. I had so much hope in TC and right before the opener, with Tee getting "injured" and the Ja'Marr contract shit and him saying it would be a game time decision if he plays, i just felt this black cloud and knew they were going to lose. Even with all the stupid shit and close losses and craptastic defense, i still have this weird optimism about this season. I felt for sure they were going to win Thursday right until the end...so it's probably just gas. Only problem is, i never doubt my gut so it's weird having this feeling when there's no real evidence, on the defensive side, they will get their shit together.

The Bengals board has a search out for their mod. They are all locked out of their board since last night. Chase not pulling punches

Oh yeah, let's give this unprofessional asshole a brinks truck of money like he wants.

Folks have been moving that record down just a little bit since about week 4 but they keep essentially saying "Oh the Bengals can finish at {playoff record} if they just figure things out a bit...

And in so doing refuse to acknowledge that the record as it stands exists for a reason.

The odds of them 'figuring it out' were always incredibly low because the underlying issues (essentially team harmony and defensive consistency) are what created that record to begin with and would continue to get in the way of reviving it.

Now you just root for them to win 4 more games to mess up their draft status and they can continue to try to convince themselves that this season was just bad luck.

Time is running out for these dudes. They’re currently #10 in the conference, behind the Dolphins who didn’t have their QB for like a month. That’s pathetic.

I think it was Parcells who said real football doesn’t start until after Thanksgiving so they’ve got a chance, but they basically can’t lose anymore games. Or if they do, they’ll need like three other teams to also lose a bunch to back into the playoffs.

They could only post in their GDT since last night. Poor guys couldn't even flood the board with threads for a proper meltdown.

Brutal loss. Come back 21 points down, set up for the game winning FG twice, and MissPherson as they call him misses both kicks.

Their playoff probability is 10 percent.

imagine wasting prime burrow's years LMAO

dude is going to be 28 soon

lmao dude running about deleting posts now

sad!
