@CJMooreHoops You failed to mention Wemby pushing Hart down with both hands causing him to slip.
But with that little time left they should have switched on the screen anyway….

[Sid Singer @sidsinger]

@Dan_Hoard Great updates, Dan.

Wondering if u agree w/people saying “things feel different this year.” Beyond no holdouts/distractions, and yes it’s early…. But do you feel a greater urgency in the air - coaches and players?

PS please remind Zac to maintain focus on fast start :)

[Sid Singer @sidsinger]

@RedsInFour Oh, please.
What difference does it make?

It’s been 31 years.

Owners who don’t care about winning.
FO that was never qualified to run the team.
Players who aren’t that good to begin with.

Trade, don’t trade, who cares?

Just kicking the can of ineptitude down the road….

[Sid Singer @sidsinger]

@Dan_Hoard @crutchkn Great to see Gary there. UC royalty indeed. Looking forward to your reports Dad to help get us up to speed on the JC era and roster.

And - speedy recovery!

[Sid Singer @sidsinger]

@Trags So what you’re saying is:

Five full seasons into rebuild
That produced 2 PS games
That followed tear down
Of previous 5-yr rebuild
That produced 2 PS games (& 22 scoreless PS innings)

It’s time to rebuild.
(Aside from a few key pieces.)

Sadly - you’re right.

@LanceMcAlister You’re expressing what we’ve been feeling 4 years: we’re numb.

Yes, April was fun.
Yes, was nice 2 seam we could beat LA in PS.

But this is who they are.

Awful ownership + unqualified FO =inadequate rosters.
CLE, MIL compete every year.
KC went to 2 WS, won 1.
Never the Reds.

[Sid Singer @sidsinger]

@dotsonc @CincinnatiMag @CharlieG__ It’s time to start the next rebuild, aimed to be competitive when the next new stadium opens.

[Sid Singer @sidsinger]

@LanceMcAlister Live in Chicago. Bears stadium nonsense now.
Friend asked if Cincy teams ever threatened 2 move?
Said Bengals did in 95. Bmore.

Then the sales tax passed.
Two stadiums approved.

& then each team went 31 years without winning a PS game/series.

Funny how lack of incentive works.

[Sid Singer @sidsinger]

@Williams_Justin @Knickoson42 If they paid him $2M for a two-year commitment and he left after one year, why would going to the NFL change that….?

[Sid Singer @sidsinger]

@jgent15 Damn! Unasked and answered!

Fair or unfair Mick was always criticized for saying he could not go after top players.

Surprising to hear that about Wes since Wes believed they could get anyone and tried for top names….

[Sid Singer @sidsinger]

@CBoxSports The trade was awful the moment they made it.
And they took on 4 years of this.
Ludicrous.

No team serious about winning would put a guy out there batting .150. His defense doesn’t matter. You cannot have automatic outs in the lineup.

But they’re not serious about winning.

[Sid Singer @sidsinger]

@DrewGarrison Orange pants should go away forever.

All orange they looked ridiculous and played like crap.

White/black on orange they look the Browns.

It was fine the way it was for 56 years.

[Sid Singer @sidsinger]

@BengalsCaptain From your mouth to G-d’s ears, brother….

[Sid Singer @sidsinger]

@Bengals Pretty well done. Nice touch with Crosby/Ravens.
And great to see Sam Wyche’s finest moment remembered here.

Super Bowl or bust. Let’s go.

[Sid Singer @sidsinger]

@CBoxSports Who knew that playing a guy batting .135 could lead to such an outcome?

[Sid Singer @sidsinger]

@bengaljims_BTR @7BOOMERESIASON @G17Esiason That five-game stretch was likely Boomer’s best ever.

Game completely slowed down 4 him, didn’t force anything, almost no mistakes, in complete control.
4-1 W-L, 13 TD, 2 INT.

And then MB tells him to do MNF.

Took them 6 years to recover from that mistake.

Only the Bengals.

[Sid Singer @sidsinger]

@Dan_Hoard Great stuff. Thank you Dan!

If ever there were a year and a position ripe for an undrafted FA to make the team, it’s this year at LB. Love the UC connection and the family history for Jack Dingle. Hope he makes it and becomes our version of James Harrison…..

[Sid Singer @sidsinger]

@LanceMcAlister Remnants of August 1987
Entered SF up five games
Left up one game
And everyone knew season was over (and it was)

Feels like that here
All the life of this team is dead and gone

Just like that

Thirty one years and counting….

[Sid Singer @sidsinger]

@LovelandSportsG A few weeks?
It took six days.

Six days.

[Sid Singer @sidsinger]

@BRamseyKSR Unless they win tomorrow they will go from first place to six games back in the span of a week.

Football season is only four months away.
