I feel for the ESPN crew here. They're basically expected to continue without any reference points. They can hardly say "let's recap the weekend's games" or show replays at the moment. If the NFL pulled the game they could go off air. Prayers for Damar.

I don't want to consider the alternative.

Pretty sure Christian Eriksen did and he's back playing now. Trying to think positively.

If they're waiting for his mother to ride with him, surely that's a positive? If he was in any danger they'd be rushing him to the nearest ER?

And the Bengals got to the Super Bowl last year from, was it the fourth seed?

I love Josh but do think he could make things easier for himself at times. For the most part, we seem to have players open in the check down area but he constantly looks longer. Just would like him to mix it up a bit more in terms of taking what defenses offer. And the more we move the ball short, the defense will have to come up, opening opportunities for deep passes.

We’re trying to convince ourselves a defeat isn’t a disaster. If we believe it is, we could be having meltdowns akin to fans of the Dolphins in about 16 hours.

Surprises me. Surely it’d be fairer to have the Chiefs, Bills and/or Bengals to play at the same time? As it is the latter two will know what they have to do heading into their week eighteen game, or whether they can rest their starters. Titans-Jaguars make sense though, purely on the importance of the game, it should have been a lock for SNF but… markets. Though I think I’m right in saying the Jags could still make the play offs even if they lose, as long as the Pats, Dolphins and Steelers do the same, winning the tiebreak on Conference record?

This is the least confident I’ve been going into a game in a long time. Maybe that means I won’t be so reactionary to every error or good play by the Bengals. I am infuriated that we put ourselves in this position though; if we hadn’t lost to one of the average at best Jets or Vikings… Whatever happens we’re still in the Play Offs. Whatever happens we still have a chance.

I think they'll only think about moving Bengals/Ravens to Sunday night if we beat the Bengals tomorrow. Otherwise they'll want them playing the same time as us.

I swear play calls are getting thicker. Vikings at Packers - both sides and 4th & Short and went for it. Both decided to go for a pass and screwed it up; the Vikings to the extent they gave away a pick six.

They'll want the Bills to play at the same time as the Chiefs/possibly Bengals. Whatever happens tomorrow, we'll still be in the hunt for the number one seed.

Again, WHAT was that?!

If the Pats lose they'll have nothing to play for in Week 18, I guess. But I'd prefer the Dolphins to finish outside of the play offs.

At what point to they bring Zappe in?

This commentary is brought to you by the Dolphins and NFL PA team.

What kind of play call was that on 3 & 1?

My overall wishes for this week in priority order: Bills win at Bengals (obviously) Broncos win at the Chiefs (miracles can happen, right?) Dolphins lose at the Patriots (their treatment of Tua is rapidly making me go off the Dolphins. Plus the Pats would be a better match up in the play offs) Panthers win at the Bucs (do I need to say more?) Saints win at the Eagles (keep pressure up on the Bucs) Steelers lose at the Ravens (not sure about this one; depends if the Bengals tighten up any pressure or try even harder if the Ravens are breating down their neck. I suppose, even if the Ravens win, they'll still be after number one seed so...) Jets lose at the Seahawks (am slightly concerned about the Jets defense in the Play Offs) Colts lose at the Giants (come on, Daboll!) Bears lose at Lions (Lions in the Play Offs would be an exciting prospect) Raiders win at the 49ers (any ***** in the 49ers armour will be gratefully received) Rams win at the Chargers (as above) Browns lose at the Commanders (the more Watson loses the better) Jaguars lose at the Texans (not that it matters as all is on next week) Vikings lose at the Packers (there's something special about the Packers December record) Cardinals at Falcons - don't really care

Worth remembering Josh had a very sticky regular season last year. Very similar to post bye this time around. I think the frustration is that, before the bye, he seemed to have cleaned a lot of that up.

I feel more confident going to Kansas City than the Bengals, especially as the former are without Hill.

Except this seems to be agreed with the Raiders whilst Mariota just disappeared (depending on whether you believe the home with a baby story doing the rounds).

In fairness, I don't think many people noticed this one happen at the time; even the tweet which is doing the rounds was posted after Tua had thrown the interceptions. In comparison, straight after the incident against Buffalo, it was pretty obvious to everyone what happened and the repercussions should have been far greater than a sacking of a health professional.

Ask the Broncos if they want an upgrade on Wilson?

There'll be enough teams still wanting him as a starter at this point.

Yes, airs on Sky Sports Action.
