While Bengals fans might not be buying into the team after seven games this season, one Washington Post blogger isn't convinced of Cincinnati . Why? Mostly trust issues. It's a fine story now, but Cincinnati is one of those teams you just can't trust. The Bengals have disappointed so many times that you're almost waiting for them to collapse. This is, after all, an organization that has had two winning...

This is just brilliant satire from our friend Mo Egger's blog over at The Homer. You'll see it was posted a couple of days ago due to the fact that he refers to Brad St. Louis as a current Bengal, but I'll parenthetically repair that. With Mo's permission I lovingly repost this piece that gave me more than one belly laugh yesterday when I read it. Hit the jump to read one of the best things I've read...

Your average extra point attempt had become too much of an adventure, even for this drama-loving Bengals squad. In a move that seemed unavoidable at this point, the Bengals terminated the contract of long snapper Brad St. Louis today. A 10-year veteran of 144 Bengal games, St. Louis was a 7th-round draft pick of [...]

Apparently snaps that went everywhere except to the holder was just too much to handle for the Cincinnati Bengals coaching staff. On Tuesday afternoon, the Bengals announced that they finally released long snapper Brad St. Louis . A 4-1 start marred by snafus in the field-goal operation that has cost the Bengals 11 points in a season they have won by an average of four points cost the long snapper...

Like most of you, I'm waiting for the hammer to fall on Brad St. Louis . Joe Reedy writes that bad snaps " runs the total to six which has resulted in 11 missed points ." I certainly understand the thinking, but is it exactly fair that every point missed is attached to Brad St. Louis? Sure, you could say he's had his fair share of snaps in which a fighter pilot passing over Paul Brown Stadium...

Joe Reedy and John Erardi, of The Cincinnati Enquirer, report the Bengals worked out free-agent LS Bryan Pittman (Seahawks) and LS Clark Harris (Texans) on Thursday. The team continues to have serious issues with the long-snapping, as Brad St.Louis has struggled the whole season in that department.

I typically defend Geoff Hobson more often than not. No one has answered me when I ask who works harder than him on any other NFL team website. And if you complain he tends to have a favorable spin on the Bengals , well, then duh. How many times have you gone to your boss and said, "your product stinks and you suck at nearly everything you do." Oh, oh. I almost saw a hand back there. No?...

Here's where we stand with long snappers. Brad St. Louis is going to snap at least one more game; why not give him a last chance in a critical divisional game, makes sense (that's sarcasm). On Tuesday, the Bengals gave Nathan Hodel a look ; he left Cincinnati without a reported contract. On Thursday, the Bengals released Geoffrey Pope and signed "The Stuka", Dan Skuta , off the team's practice...

David Jones has all but returned. He's no longer appearing on injury reports [ UPDATE: Actually Jones did appear on the injury report, but only because of the injury he has been dealing with. He did fully practice on Wednesday and Thursday] and you can assume he'll be seeing his first action this Sunday against the Ravens since injuring his foot early in Training Camp. As a result, the Bengals decided...
