2025 Schedule

[*pally*]

The complete schedule will be released at 8PM wed May 14. However, per their usual tradition the NFL will start "leaking" dates for important games such as International, opening weekends, holidays at the beginning of the week. This year they actually put out a leak schedule.

If, as rumored, the Bengals will be playing the Dolphins in Madrid we should find that out early

I just hope we don't play every single AFCN away game in Primetime. It would be nice to finally get one of those games at home. We should get 5 or 6 national games. The Bengals are always entertaining football

Fingers crossed for the absolute bare minimum of primetime regular season games! 1pm Sundays for life.

I get it as we play better in those games most of the time, but I do like to be able to watch them live. I usually have to go back and watch on 
gamepass if it is a 1pm game. But as long as we win I don't give a damn.

The only reason I like primetime games is because Greater Cincinnati becomes a big party and everyone is out having fun, especially if it's nice, and especially when we're at home.

I'm especially hoping we have the Steelers in primetime in Cincinnati because I'll take this girl friend that's a die-hard Steelers fan and we'll have a blast.

We actually might go to the game in Pittsburgh if we can get decent tickets in the crippled section.

Be safe and please wear protection.

I don't mind the primetimes, but I hate the late afternoon games on Sundays

She's actually pretty cute and was on the basketball team at one college and then transferred schools and was on the tennis team at her new school, so she's in shape, and she's cool as anything, so I really don't mind that she's a Steelers fan.

She's not die-hard about football or even the Steelers and the only way I found out is because I was typing to her the day I got an email about my season tickets, and she said she wants to got to all the games with me.

If I'm not mistaken, I think this year we are playing NFC North and AFC East. Then 2 games from Teams in AFC West and South. One game against a Team from NFC South, East or West.

NFC North is stacked top to bottom. Even Bears will be tough.

AFC East is no cake walk. After losing to Patriots last year...

Just thinking ahead of what our final record may look like.

If the D can become a mid-level defense instead of that dumpster fire one last season, then the schedule doesn't worry me all that much. Or at least it shouldn't with the offensive firepower going forward compared to those teams they will be facing.

This crippled dog still has some bite left in him!





I do ok and I still have a little bit of game in me!

I was actually playing her off another another girl that she works with, but then the other one told me to commit or she's gone and I was just like "ok, bye." 

She went and got another boyfriend, so I just started flirting even harder with the Steelers fan, chatted about the Steelers game in front of her, and then we bought tickets to the blink-182 concert at Riverbend in Cincinnati on my phone in front of her, which drove her nuts and she started saying she wants to go, and she started taking me to see her art pieces when her shifts would end (the studio is right by the gym).

Yesterday, after the checking out her art pieces (it was my birthday), she started talking about how she wants to hang out at the pool this year, so I think she's back!

And we still were in almost every game last season, with only losing two by more than one score, which one of those was ten points, and that was with a horrible offensive line.

Even most experts predict us to have a much improved defense and, if we can even have a top fifteen unit to go along with our improved offensive line, I think we could make some serious noise this season.

One little nugget of potential impact: There's a concert at Paycor on Saturday 9/20.  I kind of doubt they'd play a game at 12 noon the next day, but I guess it isn't impossible.

It would line up well with our typical September Prime Time matchup.

[Junglejuice]

As long as Joe Burrow keeps being Joe you can pretty much pencil them in as maxing out on Prime time games.
When you have one of the most popular QB s in the league that's just how it goes.
