I wanted to add that any NFL team (Bengals included) should never be scared to play any other team (even if it means 17 weeks of the Chiefs). If so, turn in your uniforms and go home. I was thinking in terms of the fans perspective that it might be "scary" to watch if the Bengals don't show improvement at certain obvious places.

I would have like to have seen Votto run over and tag 3rd base himself to make it an unassisted triple play since the Cleveland baserunner was already on the way to the dugout.

According to websites that I have read, the Bengals have the 6th most difficult strength of schedule (SOS). Those teams in the NFC North and AFC West have gotten better. The Browns are better. I think the Steelers will fix themselves (with or without Ben). The Bengals have a lot to prove under Taylor. I will eventually drink the Bengal Kool-Aid like I always do, but as I mentioned at the beginning of the thread, I'd like to see how the draft goes.

I feel the optimism, but Baltimore, Cleveland and Pittsburgh aren't going anywhere soon. How many of those 6 can the Bengals expect to win? They play the NFC North - that could be ugly. Also, Chiefs, Chargers, Raiders, Broncos. Ouch.

I echo the comments about St. Louis Cathedral. We went to Mass there and when we left we walked right into the opposite culture where a lady asked us if she could read our palms! That was a shock for us! That's New Orleans. That particular Sunday, the Saints were playing a home game at the Superdome. Imagine the oddness that one normally sees on Bourbon Street any other day magnified by wearing Saints garb. Very entertaining to say the least! After that, we headed to our cruise ship.

Can I vote after I see the results of the draft?

Reds usually don't do very well against TBD.

I like them dead and gone.

Bengals new uniforms will be revealed on Monday, April 19. A new 7 minute video "Evolution of the Bengals Uniform" is on their website. It show the various uniforms over the years along with footage of players who have worn them. https://www.bengals.com/news/how-the-bengals-matched-their-stripes-with-their-starshttps://www.bengals.com/news/how-the-bengals-matched-their-stripes-with-their-stars

Four two-run homers in the first inning. Crazy.

ESPN has the following pitching match-ups: 4/12 9:45 p.m. ET - Miley (1-0) vs Sanchez (0-0) 4/13 9:45 p.m. ET - Castillo (1-1) vs. Gausman (0-0) 4/14 3:45 p.m. ET - Mahle (1-0) vs. Cueto (1-0)

I wouldn't be surprised.

My #2 Pfizer dose is on 4/15.

Well, to Bryson's resume, he is supposed to be a good putter too. Augusta's greens and sloping fairways are a different animal, however.
