are going to suck!!! I think it is a good time for the BYE regarding injuries and getting ready for NE. However, we are 3-0, it is early in the season, and we are excited to see how we progress. The next two weeks are going to crawl.

I have been watching NFL AM all morning, NFL Total Access on the NFL Network, and they have yet to really talk about any games other than the Bears vs. Jets and the Broncos vs. Seahawks. What on earth do you need nearly 4 hours of coverage on those two games. Granted, I want to hear about those games, but give every other game just as much attention.

The only mention of the Bengals throughout that entire time was the weeks Top 10 Plays, where the pass from Sanu to Dalton made #4. They they briefly talked about the 3 undefeated teams, where each analyst just said who they thought was most impressive, and Arizona got both votes, even though Arrington quickly threw out a, Cincinnati may have the best team top to bottom though right now.

4 hours of show and 30 seconds of air time for one of the remaining 3 undefeated teams in the NFL!

Granted, I am not asking for a full 2 hours of coverage like the Bears vs. Jets, but if you could give all 16 games approximately the same attention, that would be much appreciated. Wouldn't you think?

Plus, since we have a bye week, we probably will not even hear the Bengals named mentioned during that whole time. Crazy.

The folks that are paid to 'talk' about football on television are useless.... I'm really looking forward to cutting the cord and getting rid of Directv. Some days I end up watching some of these shows on ESPN or NFLN and I almost inevitably regret it. There is nothing new to learn, there is nothing useful mentioned, and both networks are much more interested in shock value than they are in football. It's disgusting.

If I could simply buy a television package that gave me access to the games, and nothing else, I would enthusiastically sign right up. Instead, I have to pay a base package of 60 bucks just so I can watch games when they happen to be on ESPN and NFLN. Then I have to drop a couple hundred for the ticket. I literally do not watch anything else on television that couldn't be replaced with a 9 dollar netflix charge.

SiriusXM NFL radio is really the only place the Bengals get any respect.

I think some radio outlets and online outlets still provide useful content..... Just nothing on TV.
