I'm still scratching my head about that Duke Tobin press conference. What was the point? I didn't hear any specific plans to improve next season beyond "working harder". The fans have reacted mostly negatively to this, so was it successful? I'm not sure. Zac Taylor is the lone remaining AFC North Head Coach. Is that an advantage? I'm not sure about that either.... Cancun on 3!

Another frustrating loss to a team the Bengals had no business losing to. The Bengals should have won this game by 25, but they found a way to lose to the hapless Browns and Shedeur Sanders, tripping over his own feet! I don't care what Zac Taylor says, he is a terrible head coach. Ja'Marr Chase doesn't have any confidence in him, why should I? But Mike Brown would like to maintain the status quo, including fans paying him money (Don't you remember that Super Bowl 4 years ago??). I think it's for the best that the season is over. I am not enjoying this anymore! #bengals #whodey #nfl

We reach the conclusion of this regular season. No playoffs this year. Another Battle of Ohio for nothing but intra-state pride. Hopefully nobody gets injured. It's probably going to look like a pre-season game, but maybe Chase Brown will get over 1,000 yards for the season. Joe Burrow is supposed to play, but maybe they will send Joe Flacco out and let Myles Garrett sack him a couple times for the record. #nfl #whodey #bengals

A win is always better than a loss. But this was about as boring as wins come. The Cardinals seemed to sleepwalk through most of this game, allowing the Bengals to do anything they wanted offensively. Joe Burrow racked up 2 TD passes to Ja'Marr Chase. Chase Brown ran in 2 more. Plus, the Bengals Defense was forcing punt after punt. It was everything you wanted the Bengals to be.... in Week 7. But don't drink the "Building Hope and Momentum for Next Season" Kool-Aid! That's how they get you!

There's really no way the Bengals should lose this game Sunday. The Cardinals are completely decimated by injuries on both sides of the ball. The Bengals have all their key offensive stars available to run the ball up and down the field against a depleted Cards D. Backup QB Jacoby Brissett doesn't scare most defenses. And yet, somehow this game feels like it will be close. #nfl #whodey #bengals

This was so typical for the Bengals. As SOON as they get eliminated from the playoffs, they have their best game of the season. They looked like the '85 Bears against the Dolphins in the 3rd Quarter. It wasn't perfect, but this was as good as the Bengals have played as a team all year. Everyone was feeling good and having fun in the warmth and sun, including Joe Burrow. Chase Brown made his case for a big contract extension soon. Tee Higgins returned in style. Now we'll hear about building "momentum" for next season. Like I said, Typical Bengals. Let's break this game down, while we still have games to talk about. #nfl #bengals #whodey

Hello Darkness, my old friend... It's that time of year. The days are short, the nights are long, and Joe Burrow is very emo. Zac Taylor has extreme confidence in every single living organism in Paycor Stadium. But after a frigid shutout loss at home to the Ravens, it's time to warm up in South Florida. Tua is benched, Quinn Ewers makes his first NFL start against one of the worst defenses in history. What could go wrong? Bengals are 4.5 point road favorites, but I don't think they're accounting for the most important thing: Bengals are 0-3 this season with Spero Dedes and Adam Archuleta announcing.

What a miserable game. Bengals lose by 24 at home to the bitter rival Ravens. First shutout of Joe Burrow's NFL career. First Bengals shutout since 2017. Burrow had a pick-6 in the Red Zone. The Bengals defense gave up big play after big play. DJ Turner had balls bouncing off his facemask! It wasn't their day. And it wasn't your day if you attended this game in person, because the Bengals didn't bother clearing the snow off the seats in the stadium. This season ended with a whimper. It wasn't supposed to be like this!
