Relax Everyone Relax: "Mellloooow Melllooooow" "Are you mellow man?" Ok, take deep cleansing-day-after-breaths, it was easy as this: -The Texans played Great D, they should have being top 10 in the NFL -So Did My Bengals D -Dalton Floated A Few Passes Bengals don't Drop balls, even Eifert Tower (Thinkin about You Paris!🇫🇷) Eifert Dropped 3 huge ones: Bengals TE Tyler Eifert: 'I played awful' IKR? Thanks Eif I know you and AD will be connecting nicely again soon :))) - WhoDeys are 8 -1  - This game COULD  and hopefully will be a huge wakeup call. But Ill tell you this: Cincys hardest test to date will be @Arizona and with Palmer who played amazingly against the Sea Chickens.Former #9 your not missed because the Red Rifle will have more than BB's this Sunday ;) Pow Pow ! Get em Andy! - and Finally Andy, you've had thick skin your entire career, even keeled, nothing riles you, your great with controvers...

Post Texan Collapse Edit: Ok Ok 13-3 ?  And Andy you've had thick skin your whole career don't let thick head JJ get in yours ;)  Stay Strong WhoDeys !  I have to single out our two vets. I'm sure they have drawn my ire and focus because they are always on the field..thus they get much credit for huge stops and wins this year, all that being said, i have my doubts:          Dre Kirkpatrick and Old Man Pac Man.  I know, I know, Adam Jones is having a Career Year".  Dre has been attempting to create a baby Revis Island lately, but whatever you do, don't google his coverage of Steve Smith in the Bmore game ;) I cant shake this feeling that once we play "elite" QB's: Quiter Palmer and Peyton, these two boys may be exposed for non elites..Pac Man: he is elite! He takes amazing risks, jumping routes etc... It has been paying off. But its those risks that could result in a receiver flying free towards the end zone. His punt returns a...

Ok, if were not going to change the name of the Super Bowl trophy why isn't the Coach of the year Trophy called the Paul Brown Award !!? http://www.nfl.com/videos/a-football-life/0ap3000000573462/A-Football-Life-The-Father-of-Professional-Football No one person has ever made an impact on a sport like this: - 1st coach to use a playbook - 1st coach to use video tape - 1st coach to put coordinators up in the booth (in order to see the whole field and call plays) - He Invented the 40 Yd Dash ;) that's right : Invented it! “We timed Jerry Rice in the 40 nine times,” said former Dallas Cowboysg general manager Gil Brandt. Brandt popularized the 40, but he wasn’t the first to use it. In the 1950s, Cleveland Browns coach Paul Brown is believed to have timed his players in the 40 in training camp as a means of evaluating potential starters. Why Brown picked 40 yards is a secret he took to the grave" - Paul Brown Invented The Draw play! - After QB Otto Graham's ...

No WeDeys on Sunday 'Burgh. !!!! That was the kind of ugly game Cincy always lost. And for those of you who are giggling at my 6-1 (loss) prediction, I know, where's my faith ? Our D was incredible, holding a gimpy yet always Dangerous RBurger to 10 points and picking him off twice in an ugly game that didn't see the Bengals go ahead until a Greene TD late. Dalton, had a momentary "Opie" moment, but kept slingin the rock until the end. These resilient Bengals at 7-0 are the class of the AFC North, and this season continues to rock ! Bring on the Browns baby !!!

Some of you are going to quickly label me a pessimist. If you've never read this blog you are unfamiliar with my salt shaker: The Bengals Decade of the 90's jaded me for ever. The Carson Palmer era almost brought me out of it. The turncoat Cali Boy did his best yellow belly move not honoring his contract. I don't want to hear that "Well it was Mike Browns fault". There were over 50 other players that honored their contracts and showed up, it's not just you and your contract Cali boy it's about the Team you let down. One day (with the help of a Ring ;))) I will bury you along with the decade of the '90's  "Bungles" from my consciousness. The 2015 Bengals are doing much to help my condition, thank you boys :)So you see I am a damaged realist, not a pessimist at all. That being said Fellow WhoDeys we take one on the undefeated chin this week V the Yellow and Black: Tomlin (Much Respect, BTW if we had him over "Sarcast...

1st let me apologize for my "few years sabbatical" from this Blog: Career change etc, not that anyone noticed, but if your reading this: thank you ! :) Yesterday's Heart stopping, hand wrenching Comeback by My Bengals: An Instant Classic ! For a few years now a dear FB friend (well, and fellow HS Alum) has  affectionately dubbed/Glossed Andy Dalton with the moniker: "Opie". Why you ask ? Probably his happy go lucky, fixing-his-cool-Ginger-hair-due-on-the-sideline, smiling and "awe shucking" 0-4 Playoff self. Well that is over ! Tonight (while watching the Bolts hopefully humble that yellow and gold team from the Burg ;) I will toast The "New" Andy Dalton/AD/The Red Rifle and ceremoniously bury the name "Opie" from my rants. Why ?: His never say die play and attitude, his "demanding a play from the sideline" when he wants the up tempo to roll. His leading of  two amazing comebacks already  (Bmore and Seattle). H...
