It’s Week 12-Will We Get Bologna Salad?

Only if you’ve touched yourself. The Fins, Chargers, Commies and Broncos are on bye.

To The Games!

Colts/Chiefs:

Huge test for Indy, facing both K.C. and the refs on the road. But they are rested and they do have Jonathan Taylor. Hopefully Jones keeps things simple and avoids turnovers-that way the Chiefs will be below .500 and the pearl-clutchers will be out in full force.

Steelers/Bears:

Is Rodgers a game-timer? If he plays will it be out of the shotgun? (to protect the wrist) Does that limit the playbook enough that the Chicago defense can create a few turnovers? I’ve got a feeling this’ll be a sloppy game that will go down to the wire and be won by a field goal.

Pats/Cincy:

So many words wasted on a guy that ain’t playin. But that’s just the cesspool that we all swim in. Why drag Joe’s carcass out there what with Chase not playing and the season done anyway? Well, because that’s typical Bengals standard operating procedure. Start everyone you have on New England, there’s a bloodbath coming.

Jets/Ravens:

Narratives are the driving force in this tilt: New York needs to solidify their draft spot and Baltimore needs another win under their belt to keep pace/gain on the Steelers in the division. Make it so.

Seahawks/Titans:

Darnold gets a chance to fix some of his bad decision-making against a Titans team that gave up the ghost a few weeks ago. If they don’t draft an offensive lineman (hopefully with a trade-down for more picks) I won’t know what to say.

Vikes/Packers:

Why so much squawking about Love? Green Bay’s passing offense is ranked 11th, after all. Minny has won in Packerland two straight years and I’ve no clue how this one will play out.

Lamb/Slaughter:

This is the Giants vs the Lions. Detroit lost last week and fell to third in the division and out of the playoffs were they to start this weekend. New York has no weapons in the passing game and Winston can be counted on for at least 2 turnovers. As well, the Giants run defense makes Cincy’s look like an iron wall so both Gibbs and Montgomery should easily run for 80+ yards and a TD apiece.

All these strange early game scores make me think I hit my head while wrapping up some yard work.

Shit. Am I Trent Green?

Well, we know you’re not the New York Jets because you would have tripped on the rake, whacked yourself in the face, and then stumbled under a tree and had a beehive fall on your head.

**looks around yard for any hidden cameras**

Yeah, that would be humiliating. (How did he know?)

I am going to lose to Bogdanski and he isn’t even starting a QB

I managed to get a qb in but it wouldn’t let me play the kicker i have on my bench for some reason. And im pretty sure you’re going to win

There should be a grizzly designation. And sun. And red panda. At least brown and black bears are self-explanatory.

EDIT: I’ve never even heard of a spectacled bear, but that also seems self-evident. They’re also mostly herbivorous, so maybe vegan bears?

Sloth bear. :/

Hmm. The grizzly is a subspecies of brown bears. I thought they were fully different species. The More You Know.

Polar Bear status confirmed.

So prop betting all Hippo’s freezer vodka players is already paying off, halfway to a parlay of wan’dale TD plus bowers TD

Two Bengals defenders are hurt. Figures, they forced a punt, and they are out of practice.

All things considered, injuries might help the Bengals D

At the very least, they’ll suck in a different way!

Should have made him play barefoot; toughen him up and teach him a lesson.

Make him play a soccer game barefoot once and he’ll never fucking forget his cleats again.

Found a very silly and fun game on playstation called “thank goodness you’re here”. Been helping out the town while waiting for the games to start

Feeling positively industrious today. Been to the store already, had breakfast, cleaned the bedroom and now the weekly soup is simmering.

I’ve earned these games dammit.

Bit of a shame, that. Would have like to see Mr. “I Still Own You”‘s career ended by getting pounded into the turf of Soldier’s Field.

That would have been some prime schadenfreudealicious irony.

Redshirt’s 2025 Cincinnati Bengals Season Review:

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I realize how fantastically biased I am against the Chiefs cause I’m like “oh, sure, the league schedules them one of their toughest tests right after their bye so they’ll be at their best” but I realize that a) nobody expected the Colts to be so good and b) if they were playing against a shitty team I’d be like “oh, of course the league sets the Chiefs up with an easy win coming out of the bye…”

Redshirt

Its less the league schedule and more questionable calls and no-calls by the referees. Granted they are a talented team, but this is a lot like High School, if the popular kid gets in trouble “Oh, well, no big deal. Kids will be kids.” If its the average kid, “I’m sorry, but you have detention. Rules are rules.”

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

And if it’s something bad enough that it simply cannot be ignored, “he’ll serve his suspension after the big game.”

Redshirt

My school pulled that on the prick who was bullying my sister.

“We would suspend him, but he’s a senior and this is his final match. We don’t want to take that away from him. I’m afraid we’re going to have to agree to disagree.”

I wasn’t there, but I’ve heard my parents’ bloodthirsty screams, oh excuse me, reasonably volume voices of respectful disagreement were echoing into the hallway.

Unsurprised

HS football players in Ohio getting away with murder, you say?

Why, I never.

I assume Qaaron will start and the commentators will use the words “gritty” and “tough” an unhealthy number of times

ArmedandHammered

Gritty should only describe him post nature retreat.

Redshirt

He’s a Steeler so that does track. Bengals fan Twitters is full of Ramsey’s hits on Higgins and Chase; the latter being compared to Burfict’s BrainAsplodying Antonio Brown in That Wild Card Game. Apparently, that is justification from Chase spitting in his face and then lying about it, like a teenage boy who forgot to clear the internet history and was caught.

Oh, those young Bengals fans who joined in ’21. They’ll learn.
