Literally, as a miserable Bengals fan this AM, taking solace in sharing the misery with others. What a fucking shit show for the Seahawks, Steelers, Bengals, and Giants fans in particular. Just...fuck. Bears fans too, I suppose. Vikings fans. Especially for Seahawks, Bengals, Giants and Bears fan - getting rolled by a hated division rival makes it extra shitty.
Hell, even in winning the Ravens offense wasn't great (to be expected) but losing Dobbins and two lineman and a S makes that victory kinda pricy.
Browns v. Dolphins for the AFC title and Cowboys v. Niners for the NFC title. Don't even need to play the rest of the season...
As odd as it is for me to try to cheer up a Bengal fan...
Just looked it up - Cincinnati were 0-2 and 2-3 last season which included losses to Pittsburgh and Baltimore. And they fell to 4-4 after being blown out by the Jacoby Brissett led Browns.

Perfect Bengal front page "The Morning After" post.
Fields needs to check three boxes this season to earn the Bears’ trust: prove he can handle more of the offense, make quicker decisions and throw with accuracy. Even checking two of those boxes could be enough to get him over the hump, considering what he offers as a runner.
Fields didn’t check any of those boxes against the Green Bay Packers in Week 1.
We don’t even need to look into Fields’ individual play to understand how he’s struggled to take the next step so far. Getsy’s play-calling says it all.
For one, Fields was barely asked to throw the ball down the field. Fields’ average depth of target (3.7) and average yards to the sticks (-6.7) were the second-lowest in the league through the afternoon slate of games. Only Desmond Ridder was worse in both categories, and it was painfully obvious watching him play how little the Atlanta Falcons trust Ridder right now.
-- snip --
Getsy also didn’t trust Fields to throw on a third-and-7 from the Packers 28-yard line in the first quarter. He called a screen for Chase Claypool, which was tipped and dropped.
Right or wrong, Getsy wanted to guarantee three points instead of seeing what Fields could do. It says a lot about the quarterback when a play caller effectively surrenders on a gettable third-down situation within scoring range.

Anyone catcht he Exorcist commercial on during the evening game last night? It was prime time, I guess, but it was pretty intense for 915 or so.
Didn't see it, but we caught the trailer a few weeks ago before "Oppenheimer", and thought "WTF"?
I’m fine with them decking the field out for the New York teams. It would’ve been better if they had a longtime Jet carry out the flag instead of a a guy who only came there this year. Like get Curtis Martin to bring the flag out. Or Revis.

Four more prime time games for the jets on the schedule - and the new Black Friday game - and five additonal games in the 4:25 window.
That’s a LOT of Zach Wilson exposure…
