Looks like they're off to a rousing start to the year.

Just **** off. You can make the claim that our food is boring but it's not disgusting like that chili.

I’m definitely not complaining about fish and chips. I’m guessing they don’t call them french fries because they hated the French.

English food is the equivalent of sidewalk vomit. Indian cow dung tastes better in comparison. No wonder the english have such horrible dental genes. They have been eating worse than shit their entire existence.

So then when you're wrong about all that, it won't count because they didn't win a title.

My sphincter game is strong and my wife doesn't eat Skyline, so that would be a no.

Calling something nutritious and delicious 'disgusting' when you haven't even tried it, because of a bad picture.

Are you saying you're not at all concerned going into the season, considering all that's going on with the team?

I'm honestly not concerned in the least because all that BS is so overblown, it cracks me up.

There's literally nothing going on like in the OP. "bad vibes" lulz. No.

1. The Chase contract will get done and he'll contribute like an elite recever. He's been at practice mentoring WRs all camp (laughing and having a good time) and going to the bubble after practice with coaches for workouts and shit.
2. Tee is 95% gone but that was expected with how they held on to him when they could have traded him for a haul last year. He's been working his ass off this camp to get a big payday from someone next year. It's the Jesse Bates sitch all over again, but the Bengals are better equipped at the WR position than they were at the S position last year.
3. Burrow is fine. If he gets hurt again, it will be because he's injury prone, not because his hand falls off. If he's healthy, they're a SB contender.
4. The defense will be better. Von Bell back and paired with the FA from Balt Geno Stone. Reports are, they clicked from the beginning and Von was the missing piece last year. Communication was atrocious along with tackling. Those won't be issues this year. The defense will be better. The IDL is wait and see but they have a couple guys that are at least average.
5. Losing Joe Mixon wasn't really a "loss" because Zack Moss and Chase Brown will produce like Mixon and Perine did in '21 and '22.

I'm looking forward to the start of the season. You just worry about beating the Ravens Thursday and giving us a leg up early.

How about you concentrate on a division title before you get to the big time. You had the big time and Joe choked.

No one in the AFCN scares me. The Browns have been a fluke, Pitt is always Pitt but they still don't have a QB. As far as Lamar's record against the Bengals.

He's 4-1 against the Bengals when Burrow started the game.

1 win Burrows rookie year with a bad team.
1 win by 2 pts in Balt when he played RB and they kicked a FG at the gun.
1 win by 3 pts in Cinci in game 2 last year while Burrow was gimpy.
1 win when Burrow started and went out at the half (with the lead) with the wrist in jury.

And

1 loss when the Bengals beat their ass in Balt in '21 by 24 pts when both teams were healthy.

So what your saying is the 1 solitary win Burrow has over Lamar is the outlier and the other 4 losses aren't actually that relevant. Okaaayyyy....

I’m one of those who doesn’t want to see Burrow hurt again. I’ll enjoy him failing while healthy much more than another excuse year of an injury.
