Know Your Enemy: Q&A with Houston Chronicle Blogger Steph Stradley (aka "Texans Chick")
Hey folks - Steph Stradley has been kind enough to allow the Comrades at WDR invade her Texans blog for Q&A ahead of the matchups in recent years vs Houston. Our most recent preview, for Saturday's playoff game just went moments ago. We're returning the favor now (for a 2nd time now, read her previous Q&A here). So read on to find out all you ever wanted to...

Open letter to Whitworth and Peko
Skimming Hob's articles last night looking for fodder and I came across this little bit.
Whitworth pulled Peko aside in the locker room when word filtered through that the Chiefs had lost.
“I told him how proud I was,” Whitworth said. “We started this thing back in June putting OTAs together ourselves. It’s been a long journey with all the crap we had to get their attention...

Week 17 Battle Lines Are Drawn: Bengals v Ravens and Bengals Fans v Mike Brown
I'll give the Bengals this: 2011 has been one hell of a season. It's only fitting that the last week of the season promises to be a dramatic blow off top on a couple of levels. The first level is on the field, where the team needs to beat the holy-crap-when-will-it-end Ray Lewis era Ravens. I don't have much to add there except to say that the Bengals are perfectly...

The glory years are over
If you haven't yet heard the news, brace yourself: after 21 groundbreaking years as Bengals director of football ops, Jim Lippincott has decided to "retire" (ie. move back to his old job as Moeller High School defensive coordinator).
Devastating news, I know. It's uncertain how in the hell the Bengals can fill the gaping hole left by Lippincott's departure...

Bengals BOGO Fever
After waking up from the post-Christmas haze on Monday morning, the Bengals ticket office was innundated with season ticket holders lining the plaza at PBS and jamming the phone lines. Their purpose? To take advantage of a buy one, get one free ticket offer (no limit) to pack the cobweb filled upper decks of PBS for Sunday's win and in season finale against Baltimore. The...

Ho Ho Ho Santa Brought You A Blackout: Bengals - Cardinals Open Thread
Santa always knows what I want.
Bengals have taken care of every team they were favored against (I'm guessing) so look them for to do that today despite the limp towards the finish line. If the Bengals are to win out though, the D needs to find a way to step up despite key missing bodies (same for O line) and Dalton needs to elevate his game another notch.
Have a merry Christmas...

Bengals - Texans Open Thread
OH MY GOD, SO INTENSE.
Must win game of the week of the century.
2nd half of the season has been a slow bleed out with tougher schedule and injuries...here's hoping they can stop the flow before it's too late.
Who Dey.

Odds & Ends
Hi.
Good news, bad news. Good news is we actually wrote something at WDR! Bad news is that it's for another site...it's cool, though, follow the link to go to Texanschick, a blog run by the excellent Steph Stradley about Houston footbaw. It's a Q&A type post where I elaborate a little on my take of the broader narrative of this season.
Blackouts, I remind...

Sunday Prediction: No CB's, Weakened Pass Rush = Tough to Win
When Steelers have the ball:The DL needs to get to the college rapist and prevent those extended plays that Ben kills the Bengals with. Even though the Steelers have one of the worse OL's in the NFL, without Dunlap in the lineup again, it is difficult to slow down Ben.
Now that Ben will have the ability to extend plays more frequnetly, Brown and Sanders should cut up the weakened...

Prepared to Get Angry: Fantastic Stadium Deal Recap
A long expose in the latest Cincinnati Magazine sheds light on the stadium deal, both past and present. The article's author methodically lays out the timeline of events that has led to today's news that Hamilton County is selling Drake Hospital to fund the deficit caused by required stadium expenses and lower sales tax revenue.
Read the whole thing, please. Here are some...

Another blackout
Right now, the Bengals have a fairly good shot at making the playoffs. According to the projection models at Football Outsiders and Advanced NFL Stats, both of which take into account teams' current records and how many more games they're likely to win, the Bengals are the clear favorite for the second wild-card spot in the AFC. This is probably more a testament to the pathetic...

He Has Arisen!
I have been quiet for most of the first half of the season while I have been patiently observing this team. I must start this post by stating that I am well aware that some of the success that this team has experienced to date has come at the benefit of an easy schedule. However there are inherent differences about this year’s team that are not dependent on the strength of...

Housekeeping
Hey folks - we're still here. But it's obvious we simply cannot generate the output and commentary at the same rate we used to. We started this thing over 3 years ago and other life commitments demand that many of us simply cannot write with the frequency of the past, or at all in some cases.
Going forward, instead of smaller posts, we'll aim to write less frequently...

My thoughts on the Palmer trade
Of all that's being written about the Bengals' recent on- and off-field success lately, the most backward viewpoint has to be that which Peter King expressed in his recent MMQB:
I think if the season was seven weeks long and I had to vote today, my Executive of the Year would be Mike Brown. It's not just the Palmer trade. It's sticking to his guns on draft day...

Smart Dudes Discuss Palmer Trade
Head on over to Shutdown Corner at Yahoo for a podcast amongst some people who know more about football than you do. In particular, Greg Cosell, the main man at NFL Films for many decades - who literally just spends every day breaking down film of NFL players - weighs in on the deal. I haven't listened yet but it should be very informative.
For one thing, we might get some...

Mike Brown On The Trade In His Own Words
Whole press release via Enquirer, but the meatiest quote highlighted via Joe Reedy's tweetdeck:
“We also find ourselves rather suddenly in position of being able to receive real value for Carson that can measurably improve our team – which is performing well and is showing real promise for this year and years to come. When this opportunity arose, we felt we could not let...

??????????
Approximately no one who has followed the Bengals under Mike Brown saw that coming.
This event deserves some longer attention when I have time. For now, I only say:
The Bengals got value for a vocally disgruntled star, which is how good front offices operate
Given how Carson performed sans Ocho and TO at the end of last year, I still would have liked to see him ride out this...

Lewis Slams Paul Daugherty
Fellow comrade-in-arms, Paul Daugherty of the Cincinnati Enquirer and SI.com, was blasted by Marvin Lewis during his weekly press conference today.
"He" was never identified, but consideing Lewis's contentious relationship with the local media during his entire stint in Cincinnati, - could 'he' really be anyone else?
Is there anything you would like...

Nuff Ced
Cedric Benson is so goddamn slow. Leonard, who is a white guy, is as fast as him at this point. Put Bernie Scott in the game. You ever notice that watching Benson trying to turn the corner to the outside is like watching an obstinate mule pull a cart behind it.
Dunlap and the d line are the only above average thing about this team.
While Jay Gruden is obviously an upgrade over...

Fat Hoosier Friday
Will Cinci be invaded by a bunch of fat humps in sixe XXXL 18 jerseys or will all those seats just be empty this year? I would think the fountain square Greater's is losing a LARGE amount of business this weekend.
Carlos Dunlap continues to get pressure along with the rest of the defensive front and this has made up for a great number of defeciencies in other areas. Also how...

Some quick thoughts..
A few odds and ends before tomorrow’s game…
Hobspin has a great new article up on the buzz around a special team’s unit that currently ranks 15th in DVOA. Granted, Mike Nugent has nailed all ten of his field goal attempts all season, and after the joys last year of watching a guy named Clint Stitser spasm his way to two missed PAT’s and the whole unit work its way to the...

TGIF! - Northern Florida's Team
Who do the bengals play this weekend I really have no idea I have totally checked out. Oh the jags I totally don't know how I missed that.
Carlos Dunlap is my favorite defensive player to watch since Tovar and somebody we can only hope MB lucks into locking up for a little while longer than his rookie contact. Dunlap gets consistent pressure and is somebody o-lines have to scheme...

Friday Ramblings
This season brings back memories of my youth. Bad ones. Specifically from 1999, when the Rams came to town to battle the Bengals for the worst team of the decade. That Rams team it turned out wasn't so much like the other Rams teams of the 90s. That was Kurt Warner, Marshall Faulk, Orlando Pace and the Greatest Show on Turf. They ******* steamrolled us 38-10. I sat...

Our Condolences to the Shuller family
You have likely seen or heard this elsewhere already but we cannot neglect to mention the touching obituary of Saul Shuller that ran in the Enquirer recently. Saul certainly knew how to face Death with a sense of humor:
Accepting that the end was near, the funny grandfather and great-grandfather said earlier in the day there was an upside to death: at least he wouldn't...
