Another tough opponent on the road, but we just saw the Bengals and Joe Burrow pull off the upset in Baltimore against the Ravens last week, so recency bias surely says the Bengals will keep their streak of wins (1) going. I'm not buying into this narrative about "4-8, just like last year." Doesn't anyone remember they missed the playoffs last year?! As Trent Reznor said, "I fear I'm the only one who thinks this way."

Bengals 32 - 14 Ravens. Thanksgiving Night was all Orange and Black. The Ravens and their Purple uniforms got squished like a bunch of grapes! Lamar Jackson played one of his worst games in years, committing 2 fumbles and 1 INT. Isiah Likely and Zay Flowers also lost fumbles to this suddenly tenacious Bengals Defense. Al Golden dialed up creative blitzes that left Lamar looking rattled and confused. Strange things happen on Thursday Night in the division. All the headlines will be about the return of Joe Burrow, but this was a team win. McPherson made 6 for 6 FGs. Shoutout to Dalton Risner, who has added a solid veteran presence on the interior OL. It's only 1 win, but it was a good 1. #whodey #nfl #bengals

Joe Burrow is officially coming back, and you're going to like it! He told us, He's a football player, he gets paid to play football, so he's going to be out there. Ja'Marr Chase('s Agent) released an apology statement that didn't seem to match the tone of his press conference. The Ravens are matching the tone of Purple everywhere with their Purple Rain color rush uniforms. Bengals (3-8) somehow won't be officially eliminated with a loss, so the dream/nightmare of 2025 season won't end Thursday either way. Derrick Henry, please have mercy on Barrett Carter and this Bengals Defense. #whodey #nfl #bengals

The Bengals (3-8) kept it respectable and close in the game against the visiting Patriots. But it wasn't meant to be, as the Bengals lost their 4th game in a row, and 8 out of the last 9 games, 26-20 was the final, to the Patriots (10-2). The game featured not one, but two Pick-6 TDs and a ton of injuries on that artificial turf. Somewhere, Mike Brown is counting his money and smiling... #whodey #nfl #bengals

This week has been a rollercoaster of emotions. Burrow was back, but then he wasn't. Ja'Marr is definitely suspended this week, so who will step up in his absence? Iosivas? Tinsley? Gesicki? (Who was just activated from Injured Reserve)

If the Bengals hold the Patriots to less than 25 points, I'll be surprised. I'm surprised the Patriots are only favored by 7! They must have a lot of faith in Flacco and Tee to score enough points to keep pace with Drake Maye and his collection of receivers.

Treyveon Henderson could have a huge day against this wretched Bengals defense, which is ranked last in almost every statistical category. Truly awful play by this Defense, so it doesn't matter if Burrow or Flacco plays; they're probably going to lose. But maybe it will be another fun one!

Disappointment is the only word that can describe this game. Not only did the team lose, they looked bad doing it. The Steelers were the more physically dominant team, pushing the Bengals around all day. And then, Ja'Marr Chase appeared to spit on Jalen Ramsey, which led to Ramsey's ejection, but also a likely suspension for Chase. After the game, Ja'Marr denied spitting, which seemed like a blatant lie... so that was disappointing too. Not to mention the Steelers 2 defensive TDs to really rub salt in the wounds. The Zac Taylor excuse machine was in overdrive after this one. Can they just fire this guy already?? #whodey #nfl #bengals

It's not how you start, it's how you finish. This Bengals team got off to their coveted "fast start" by going 2-0, but they're 1-6 since then. Currently teetering on the brink of irrelevancy, Joe Burrow isn't walking onto Acrisure Field to save the Bengals season. Zac Taylor's claim that all the answers are inside the building will be put to the test. How will either of these defenses stop the other offense? This could be another entertaining, high-scoring game. And Kevin Harlan will be there to narrate it all! #WhoDey #nfl #bengals

Alright, he's only returning to limited practice, but Joe Burrow is back on the field, throwing the football to Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Even if he's not ready to play in a live game, the progress he's made returning from turf toe surgery has been astounding. Of course, it does nothing to help the defense, which REALLY needs some improvement, or it won't matter who's playing QB. #WhoDey #nfl #bengals

What the F&@K?! That's what Chase Brown and I thought after this game ended. Just when it looked like the Bengals pulled off a miraculous victory... they gave it all away. This game was crazy! (so don't leave early!) #WhoDey #NFL # Bengals

Week 9 begins with a troubling development... Joe Flacco is uncertain (50/50) to play against the Bears due to a sprain to the AC joint in his right throwing shoulder. Not ideal for the 40-year old quarterback. It's also not ideal to still have Jake Browning as the backup. How's Sean Clifford looking though? p.s. Joe Burrow isn't coming back this year, deal with it. #whodey #nfl
