Bloody Pirate

Will do. The usual is to get off the blood thinners five days prior but my doc told me this morning cause of my clotting issue I'm staying on till two days prior and have to go right back on after. Regardless, I'm so excited for the season to get started. Buffalo and Cincy have played some exciting games recently. It's also been odd with this symbiotic relationship they've had with one another the past few years. I really liked what you guys did in the draft. Hopefully it will be a great year for both teams.

I can agree with the o-line. Although I think Dalton isn't as bad as people make him out to be. I actually think he is better but I also don't look at him as a Rodgers or that guy that can take over a game week in and week out. He does need the line to play better. They have talent at the skill positions. As far as Mixon, the line was bad last year and he still produced. I just think he is one of those backs who can create and make up for a bad line. If the line can be even slightly better the sky's the limit for him. That's something we will just have to wait and see. The line backers were awful last year. Brown who they signed from the bills is decent but immediately got hurt and his play dipped after that. Vigil was basically the same. After that it's up to Jefferson who they drafted in the 3rd last year and Pratt who went in the 3rd this year. I remember reading from PFF that the bengals have one of the best secondaries in the nfl and a ton of talent on the d-line but their line backers were the worst in the league and that is what killed them. They have some young talent there but it is definitely an area of concern.

Hey guys. Bengals fan here who lives in Bills country. They've known this was coming. It was actually reported/rumored by Bengals writers a while ago that he was going to retire. Not saying it doesn't suck though. I have factor five which is basically the opposite of hemophilia. My blood over clots. They can treat it with blood thinners that basically make me a hemophiliac. Can't speak on Boling but it sounds similar. It's not just PE that can be dangerous. Can travel to your heart and give you a heart attack. You may remember Luke Perry just died when a clot traveled to his brain and gave him a stroke. Have to have surgery on Monday and even though it's a simple surgery it complicates things for me. Anyway, I really love the talent on Cincinnati. A lot of people forget before the injuries really piled up they started the season 5-1 and were one play away from being 6-1. I personally felt the coaching was the biggest issue. It's hard to know what to expect from a new coach though. It could be a learning year. We will see. I'm just happy to be done with Marvin. Good Luck this year.
