"This is going to be the trendy pick for a lot of people for Super Bowl. ... All the turnover within the division, ... There's a lot of reason to be optimistic about the Bengals."
—@PSchrags on the Bengals heading into this NFL season 🏈
Dan Orlovsky (ESPN) just picked #Bengals vs #Rams in the Super Bowl

For the Week 7 game against the Ravens, the Bengals schedule release video shows Joe Burrow hugging Maxx Crosby, with the narrator saying
“We’re division rivals, you can’t back out of this one”

@autyelmore I’m pretty confident they are locked into an international home game next year. Thought I heard @pauldehnerjr say that previously on the podcast.
Bengals defensive line now has Boye Mafe, Dexter Lawrence, BJ Hill, Jonathan Allen, Cashius Howell, Myles Murphy, Shemar Stewart, among others.
It’s loaded.
They talk about Dexter Lawrence in 2025 as a down year.
His down year was still the 10th best DT for PFF
5th in Pass Rush Grade
His 14% pass rush win rate was 6th
His 19.7% win rate in True Pass Sets was also 6th best
All while playing over 373 snaps at Nose Tackle - The most in the league
He had the 8th highest pass rush grade in 2024.
13th in Win Rate
6th in True Pass Set Win Rate
If 2024 wasn't a down year, why is 2025 a down year?
He's never had a bad year. That's for sure.
The #Bengals are expected to hammer out a significant long-term deal with DT Dexter Lawrence as part of the trade, once he passes his physical, per sources.
A very un-Bengals move … but this is a changing organization. And their actions confirm it.
@CoachMarkPope this is what you’ve turned your alma mater into. Your teams are soft and they’ve been that way since you took the job. We all knew we had basically no shot today because this team you put together was shit. You’re talking retention and everyone laughs. 🤡
Nate Heise on Iowa State trying to break Kentucky's spirit in the second half:
"I think that's something we identified before the game... I think, when you get (Kentucky) to that point, it's like 'let's just be done.' I think that's their mindset."
Maxx Crosby says on @TheRushWithMaxx that he didn’t see #Ravens GM Eric DeCosta or HC Jesse Minter during the first 5 hours of his visit, and when he finally met with DeCosta, the energy felt off. DeCosta then informed him they had concerns about his medicals.
“I was thinking in my head, ‘what the f***?’��
Crosby said his surgeon later called him and told him to listen to what they were saying: “They know you had your surgery nine weeks ago… You’ll be back by training camp.”

@Honcho_WhoDey@My33263705 Flacco might hold off until the summer to land a potential starting gig. They needed a vet option for mini camp and summer stuff in case Flacco draws it out. This has 0 impact on Flacco coming back.

Stone has 14 career INTs with 21 PBUs, and will be a key contributor to Buffalo’s defense.
