.25 --- so much sadness

Not for nothing, but re: the Feb 1 - 10 "window" - let's just go ahead and cash in early, middle and late on that. None of this catch it at the end, stuff. Let's just bring home all the chances. We deserve it.

Five miles southwest of map, three flakes. I suck.

I grew up in Cincinnati until 7th grade and then central Ohio until college and then back to cincinnati for a few years after college. Never stopped rooting for them. DirecTV for every game since 1996. Been a long time coming, for days this good as a fan.

And, seriously, the hardest game potentially was last week. I HATED having to play the Ravens and that D and running game again. Every time, like going for a root canal, playing the Ravens.

Mahomes' knee such a wild card. The Chiefs irritation at the Bengals having won last 3 over them including AFC title last year a wild card. Bengals' o-line health a wild card. Game opened as a pick'em I think. Feels right. No idea what to expect but happy to root for a team that no one should be taking lightly anymore. Been a long long time coming. 10 playoff wins in franchise history - 5 of those in the last two years. Just feels different now...for good reason. God bless backing into Burrow three years ago...

as the board's resident bengals fan...who dey!

Thanks BobC…much appreciated post.

If that is what it is, that would be one thing. But it is not what that is. It immediately drifts to climate change stuff and that is, by request of those who run this site, to be had elsewhere. In plenty of places. take it up with a mod. Take it up with Randy. But for godssake, please take it up with them elsewhere.

No worries, and, welcome to the forum!

that discussion has been had and is being had in a thread on this sub-forum. Read there. Good discussion there.

there's literally two forums on this board AND a special thread in this sub-forum that YOU started for that discussion. It can be discussed plenty. I read in that thread, the discussion is good! But why can't you just keep it there? How is that so hard for you to adhere to? You are a teacher, you cool with your class rules just being ignored by your students?

that is, technically, indeed NW of the cities...

it is genuinely borderline hilarious how even one quasi-good run from one model this winter is immediately followed by a run that is not just bad but borderline end of days bad by the very next model to go...

i don't know what that means. You are acting like no one has any chance against KC. the bills beat them in Arrowhead earlier this year and Cincinnati LITERALLY has beaten KC three straight times since a year ago. So, yeah. They have a chance to make this a contest...

the bills and bengals both beat KC already this year so...I feel like they could give a contest...

I think someone else already has assigned blame to me...my response to them applies to your thought too...."tough but fair".

it has been longer than that. So if it's a troll job I would almost be impressed. Almost.

or a sustained trolling job.

he's gotta get further north than northern baltimore county. I made that move a year ago from balt city and...it has not worked out.

maybe this is the day they unplugged the GFS and then plugged it back in...

Yeah, it's full horseshit what is happening. Seriously. I've already stepped back from posting as much because of how folks are acting. People need to fucking grow up.

In all seriousness, Ava is an excellent local meterologist in Baltimore. Not sure why it has become a joke when someone mentions her thoughts for up this way. When people talk about DC mets there isn't this kind of reaction.

indeed we have not.

I get it. Heading there myself. Peace, friend.
