Bengals psycho and Political junkie. I'm neither conservative/liberal. Summarizing complex humans into one word doesn't make sense to me. Both can have benefits. Intolerant of MAGA.

More on #Bengals QB Joe Burrow and WR Ja'Marr Chase:

Per the NFL:
December 8, 2025 at 2:14 AM
Bills TEs collectively (Knox, Kincaid, Hawes) posted 11 receptions, 135 yards, and two TDs.

On the season, TEs v the #Bengals defense have 108 receptions for 1,370 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns. That's an average of 8.3 rec/game, 105.4 yards/game, and 12.9 yards/catch.
December 7, 2025 at 9:26 PM
Led by James Cook and Josh Allen, the Bills generated 183 rushing yards on the #Bengals defense.

This is the fourth game (0-4) the defense has allowed 180+ rushing yards, second-most behind the Bills (5).

The Bengals offense rushed for 62 yards against that Bills defense.
December 7, 2025 at 9:19 PM
Hindsight and everything...

How will Zac Taylor respond to why the #Bengals decided not to go for an onside with over two minutes remaining.

Bills picked up a first down on all of their drives and the Bengals didn't force a single punt. Ik onside is a low pct play, but still..
December 7, 2025 at 9:14 PM
Bills put 39 points on the #Bengals Sunday, which is the sixth game in 2025 in which the Bengals allowed 34 points or more (0-6).

That leads the NFL with second-most being the Giants, Cowboys, Ravens, and Commanders (4).
December 7, 2025 at 9:14 PM
This is the eighth game in #Bengals Joe Burrow's career with four passing touchdowns or more, padding to his franchise record.

His career best is five (both in 2024 v the Ravens and Raiders).

1) Burrow, 8 games
2) Dalton, 6
t3) Boomer and Carson, 5
t5) Anderson and Blake, 3

Joe Burrow became the third #Bengals quarterback with a pick-six this season, following Jake Browning and Joe Flacco (2).

Heading into Sunday, the Bengals and Vikings were tied for the most pick-sixes allowed (3).
December 7, 2025 at 8:46 PM
I like how they break this down, as if the "since the first quarter" has been rough on Joe Burrow.
December 7, 2025 at 8:26 PM
That's one of the most insane catches.
December 7, 2025 at 8:25 PM
We might have stop calling #Bengals Mike Gesicki a tight end.

Coming into Sunday's game, he's been an in-line TE on six plays this year, compared to 120 from the slot and 32 out wide.

Both of his receptions on Sunday have led to first downs.
December 7, 2025 at 8:22 PM
#Bengals Joe Burrow seems to be struggling a bit on intermediate routes near the right sidelines.

He's completed two of six attempts, and some of those throws are just sailing on him... that said, he got a Tee Higgins touchdown on one.
December 7, 2025 at 8:14 PM
Are you kidding?

Bills reach the two, and James Cook fumbles again (the first was negated by a hold after going out of bounds at the one).

The first RZ attempt, the Bills had to settle for a FG. This time, it's a turnover. Defense also forced a turnover/downs.
December 7, 2025 at 8:10 PM
There's been five drives by both teams, and five scores with three minutes remaining in the half.

#Bengals - 3 TDs
Bills - TD, FG
December 7, 2025 at 7:05 PM
#Bengals have converted their first seven third down opportunities. They're on their third drive.
December 7, 2025 at 6:57 PM
Quick cleanup from the previous drive...

The Bills successful two-point conversion was the third allowed by the #Bengals defense this season -- the other two coming against the NY Jets.
December 7, 2025 at 6:53 PM
Allowing someone like Josh Allen to have a cup of coffee reading the #Bengals defense with zero pass rush is an interesting choice.

/s
December 7, 2025 at 6:49 PM
Better view on the Tee Higgins touchdown.
December 7, 2025 at 6:38 PM
Believe it or not, that's the first opening possession by an opposing offense in which the #Bengals defense only allowed a field goal this season.

Coming into today's game, they've allowed touchdowns in eight opening games.
December 7, 2025 at 6:26 PM
#Bengals take 7-0 lead on the game's opening drive.

This is the sixth straight game the Bengals offense opened the game with a score (2 TDs, four FGs).

That was a 14-play, 67-yard drive that wiped out over eight minutes on the clock.
December 7, 2025 at 6:13 PM
Akili Smith, right?

Third overall pick. Seven games his rookie year, four starts. Completed 80 of 153 for 52.3%, with 805 yards passing, two touchdowns, and six picks.

And that's not even including what "could be" with the trade deal we rejected with the Saints.
December 7, 2025 at 4:46 AM
Oh man.

As a Buckeyes fan, not how I want see the game start.

More deflection from the Epstein files.

Trump: "The Democrats' number one policy push is the complete and total OBLITERATION of our great United States Supreme Court."

How is this "great" when all he does is rage post on his financially broke social media platform.

In Los Angeles, "a man’s father was abducted and disappeared by ICE. While trying to find him using a GPS tracker in his car, they find his now stolen truck being driven around by an ICE Bounty Hunter while he is off-duty."

Imagine what else the gestapo is stealing.
