They played much better today than last week.  And much better in the second half than the first.   I get the sense they will right the ship.   Never thought I'd live in a world where the Bengals set the bar high enough that anything less than the Super Bowl was an abject failure, but here we are.

I wonder on which play that Burrow tweaked his ankle.  I don't hear about it after the game, but there were a couple plays late in the 4th quarter where he rolled to his right away from the rush which reminded me of the play where he originally got hurt in training camp.

I assume you meant calf. But it was two plays before he threw the TD to Higgins.

Since the AFL/NFL merger, only 9.5% of teams that have started 0-2 have made the playoffs.  What are the odds that the Bengals do so two years in a row?  

9.5% plus a little uptick with the 17th game.

I did mean calf.  Thanks.  I was in the stadium and remarked to someone near me how much those plays looked to the one in training camp.  If Burrow is apprehensive about rolling to his right, that can't be a good thing.

Saw the beginning of that, well before the video. Dude was trying to fight anyone in his path.

Yeah, that guy at the end was stupid for getting near him and the police were negligent for not controlling someone in custody.

It'd be a great commercial for the sunglass manufacturer assuming they stayed intact after impact.  Catch line could go "Dumb as a hammer? Our glasses are tough as an anvil!"

People like this absolutely ruin the experience of going to a football game. I've seen it so many times. Routinely in the upper deck and it is usually some fool who is more concerned with starting a fight than watching the game. They act a fool the whole time, cuss non-stop, and when someone tells or asks them to stop they want to fight. The line usually used is "I paid my money so I can say what I want." Watched it happen last year and the reply the guy got was "and so did I, quit being a (bleeping) idiot." I truly enjoy seeing people like this get arrested at games.

I agree on what it does to the experience and it is another reason I have no interest in attending games in person, I much prefer watching from home.

From what I see that guy should serve some time in jail.

It's not an act.
