If the Bengals can’t beat the Browns (top ten defense even WITHOUT Burfict, their best player, who’s back for this game) then I won’t know what to think. The Bengals simply have far too much talent to be 0-3 at this point. That game against Green Bay was theirs for the taking. ---

The Bears and Packers play for the overall series lead tonight. I’m feeling confident the Pack will pull it off, but even if they don’t - The Bears Still Suck. ---

God is letting his displeasure be know with lightning because the flag was desecrated. Or something. Tomorrow trump will show footage of the fans going into the concourse and say they were boycotting. ---

Green Bay is wearing some different looking jackets on the sideline but at least these uniforms look normal enough and not the awful color rush garish garbage Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk ---

The Bears receivers suck, but they aren’t getting any help from the zebras. ---

It was weird, he had a few drives where he was pretty lights out. On those 2 touchdown drives he was precise and on time, lots of easy catches between zones. But those INTs were really ugly, way off. Honestly, he looked like a rookie. The Cutler experience was different, every throw was an adventure. ---

> [@Hamlet](#): > > Here’s hoping Davante Adams is OK. Agreed – that was a frightening hit. Moving his arms, so that’s a good sign, but I worry about a broken jaw or a concussion. Plus, with Ty Montgomery possibly having broken ribs, and the Packers being down to a rookie RB and FB Ripkowski for the second half, things are starting to feel thin, and it’s only week 4. ---
