Random thoughts on the day after the Bengals sent in the practice squad and said it was the real team:
–I don’t know about you, but I think the Bengals will have serious doubts about facing the Jets again just six days after getting their collective lunch handed to them.
I know I have serious doubts.
–The injuries are beginning to mount against our beloved Stripers. At this rate, the practice squad WILL be playing in the 4th quarter of this Saturday’s playoff game.
–Calling Jerome Simpson. Jerome? Anybody?
–It is always nice to say we have a premier, top-flight quarterback in the pass-happy NFL, but Offensive “Guru” Bob Bratkowski has taken a Pro Bowl caliber QB and made him into Trent Dilfer right before our very eyes.
–Speaking of Bratkowski, has he gone from “high on the hog” as an offensive genius just 4-5 years ago to “what the hell were you thinking in calling THAT play” offensive goat this season?
–Domata Peko, we sure need you to be healthy and ready to play this Saturday.
–Anybody seen Jerome Simpson yet? Anybody?
–Marvin, it is time to break out the serious motivational material.
–Chad, please don’t punch any coaches at halftime this weekend. And, just for good measure, shut the hell up for a change! Your cousin wrote a book after one season in the NFL called, “Just Give Me the Damn Ball!” I am sure your book would be called, “Just Give Me the Damn Microphone and Attention!” Enough already, Chad. Enough.
–Will someone check the parking lot to see if Jerome Simpson is here?
–Getting into the Red Zone does not mean it is okay to relax and take three penalties backward before fumbling the football.
–Not sure if I mentioned this, but has anyone had a Jerome Simpson sighting? LAST CALL FOR JEROME SIMPSON! Get ready to play some football in the UFL next year, Jerome, assuming you can get on the field there. And, to be honest, I am not sure you can.
–I am interested to hear and read your thoughts and comments.
