Bengals psycho and Political junkie. I'm neither conservative/liberal. Summarizing complex humans into one word doesn't make sense to me. Both can have benefits. Intolerant of MAGA. https://joshkirkendall.substack.com/

When is Maga never in meltdown mode?

"Even the White House joined in the MAGA meltdown over Donald Trump’s Nobel Peace Prize snub after the award was handed to a democracy activist instead of the president."

Tennessee man arrested in connection to Charlie Kirk social media posts A Lexington man was arrested Monday and charged with threats of mass violence after a series of social media posts made about Charlie Kirk.

Meet Larry Bushart, who posted memes on a Facebook page that hated on Donald Trump and Charlie Kirk.

He's now in jail with a $2 million bond, charged with "charged with threats of mass violence on school property."

Is this the America you want?

I'm 100% with you.

I think the Dems struggle with messaging, but I get where they're coming from and don't blame them.

I just don't like that the message is "how does this politically benefit us." But it's the real world too

"The House is done": Johnson rules out stand-alone vote on paying troops during shutdown "We already had that vote. It's called the CR, " Johnson said.

"Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday ruled out taking up legislation to ensure military paychecks keep flowing during the government shutdown, telling reporters the House 'already had that vote.'"

Each party is trying to make the shutdown as punishing as possible. Meanwhile actual people are hurting.

How does he think that this is some sort of flex? Johnson is a speaker and could easily work towards fixing the health care system. They don't care, at all. Like immigration, they don't want solutions... just election talking points.

Report: "Potential exit strategy" discussions have begun as to Bill Belichick Accounts of rules violations have created a sudden snowball.

Perhaps one of the worst coaching tenure in college football history.

A report about "'potential exit strategy discussions' occurred this morning at NC. And while it doesn’t mean Belichick will be fired, 'preliminary conversations' about the possibility have occurred."

Add Eric Dickerson to the idiocracy in this country that don't realize Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, making Bad Bunny as much of a United States citizen as anyone.

When people like Dickerson say, "I love my country", they really don't know shit about own country.

#Bengals are averaging 126.4 yards, 3.92 yards/play, 6.6 first downs, and 34.2 yards rushing, in the first half of games this season.

These are all league worsts.

Jake Browning in first half of games: 37/62 (59.7%), 267 yards, 0 touchdowns, 4 interceptions, and 42.9 rating.

Jake Browning's fourth quarter performance:

8/10 for 133 yards passing, three touchdowns and no picks for a passer rating of 158.3.

Although the Lions lead was comfortable and prevent-style defenses tend to artificially boost numbers.

Early returns on PFF will go under review, but Orlando Brown Jr. had another bad game, allowing five pressures, three hurries, a hit and a quarterback sack.

His pass blocking score of 42.8 was worst among linemen on the #Bengals.

On the bright side...

#Bengals WR Andrei Iosivas posted 82 yards receiving, surpassing his previous single-game high of 59 yards.

He also tied his career-high five receptions (two other times).

That touchdown reception by #Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase broke a streak of 19 straight drives without a touchdown-also the first touchdown in eight quarters.

The 19 drives without a TD:
14 punts
3 interceptions
2 field goals

If you're wondering...

The single-game record for most interceptions thrown by a #Bengals quarterback is five by Boomer Esiason against the Patriots (Oct. 16, 1988).

Six players have thrown four.
*Burrow (1 time)
*Dalton (4)
*Palmer (1)
*Esiason (2)
*Anderson (4)
*Turk (1)

The irony is that early PFF grades show the #Bengals offensive line doing a decent job pass protecting; the Lions aren't blitzing much.

Of Jake Browning's 24 drop backs, eight have some pressure and his time to throw on drop backs without any pressure is 4.14 seconds.

A lot of missed tackles.

Receivers with a lot of space.

Minimal pass rush.

Lions cruise 58 yards on seven plays with minimal interference from the #Bengals defense, taking the early lead.

Minnesota outscored the #Bengals (one game): 48-10
Against the Browns and Steelers combined (two games): 42-41

How have Penn State and Texas flopped so badly? College football Week 6 takeaways Teams like Texas Tech, Cincinnati and Virginia are off to surprisingly good starts while preseason No. 1 Texas and No. 2 Penn State fade.

Stewart Mandel: "Cincinnati, which went 4-14 in its first two years in the Big 12, looks like a legit conference title contender this season. The Bearcats (4-1, 2-0 Big 12) led No. 14 Iowa State (5-1, 2-1) from start to finish in their 38-30 win."
