He’s looked like trash his whole career. I’ve been telling yall that since April. At some point it’s what he is.

[Goalpost]

Outscored 17-zip that quarter.

I’d turn a blind eye.

Joe's look heading into the locker room: Oh, F! It looks like it's all on the offense again this year.

[Tomkat]

These are backups in a preseason game, yes?
The doom and gloom is a bit ridiculous

[ken anderson fan]

JOE IS PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE A DAN MARINO ENDING

"I'm all for it"--John McKay, probably.

There was zero reason to think this defense was going to be any better this year than last.

What? We could've added alot more but the Bengals chose not to with the way they did the contracts. Id rather pay Tee than more nick Scott's and rankins. Atleast we know what we have.

[Timanky12]

We better beat the so so teams this year, because we are not beating the top tier teams with this defense

The team they’re playing paid their QB, 2 WR’s, their RB, and several stud OL. Yet they won’t miss a beat. You can either draft or you can’t. It’s that simple.

If this year is anything like last year, he’s going to pull a Carson Palmer and no one would blame him.

First time in the Game Day forum?

[George Cantstandya]

Friendly reminder all this is the 1st preseason game of the season.  Often a bit sloppy.  A lot to be learned of course and that is the point. What happens tonight isn't necessarily indicative of what might happen in the regular season.  :)

Seems a little harsh, but I’m plenty mad at them.
