Low Positive

That non-call was a makeup. The refs only have about a thousand to go.

Of course not. But McDermott said that the Bills have to play better to keep winning. He acknowledged that the game didn’t go as planned. The Bengals act like another AFC Championship is their birthright. Their fans, especially the casual fans, all feel that way too. Maybe it doesn’t bother you, but I have to live here.

TB will win by less than 3

Cut the kicker at HT

Wait until the game is over to call that one.

I don’t know, but that was funny.

Cool is one way to put it. Tom Cruise is there because he’s going clear in Clearwater. Hulk Hogan is Florida personified. John Daley is just there for the free beers in a suite.

Bucs playoff games bring out a strange set of celebrities.

Go watch this video and tell me that you don't want to beat the heck out of this cocky team on Sunday. https://www.bengals.com/video/wild-card-game-balls-locker-room-celebration-2023 Somebody said that they saw on NFL network that he's out, but who knows. The Bengals, like Bill Belichick, are cagey with injury reports.

I can imagine things...

I don't want to derail this thread, but the Who held an anniversary concert here in May 2022 (was supposed to be in 2020, but got postponed due to COVID). My kids go/went to Finneytown HS where three of the kids killed went. So, he was invited along with 10 classmates from the school choir to sing the "teenage wasteland" part of Baba O'Riley on stage with the band. After the song was done, my son got a fist bump from Roger Daltrey. Pretty awesome moment, to say the least.

I wonder when the peak happened. I think a lot of people tuned in once the upset was in the works. I know as a neutral fan I would have put the game on when the Fins took the lead.

I think that it’s due to the very high number of local Steelers and Browns fans here.

A tradition unlike any other

Spent the day with McDaniel?

Bengals fans won’t let opposing fans on their forum. I, like you, live here and wanted to discuss the SB last year and they wouldn’t approve my account because I made it clear that I’m a Bills fan.

You could say the same things about the Bengals. They needed a 98 yard fumble recovery to beat the Ravens last night. Huntley was .5 yards from breaking the plane. They haven’t looked really good for 4 quarters since the Chiefs game. I’m not at all certain of a Bills victory because the Bengals have the tools to beat anyone. But if they blow out the Bills it will be their first dominating win against a good team this year. The same thing can be said about the Bills. Should be a good game.

The Giants under Wink are an interesting case. It’s the old Ravens system so they blitz a lot. In fact, they lead the NFL in blitz percentage. But they only have one more sack than the Bills.

And then the KO out of bounds on the kick after the ensuing FG. That was the swing in my mind because that gave the Dolphins points and hope. Up to that point, they had almost zero yards on offense.

Exactly. Imagine being a Vikings fan yesterday. So many missed tackles.

Exactly. Don’t get spanked by the Browns on national TV.

I’ve watched every game, but I’ll let the numbers tell the story. The Bengals have the 4th fewest rushing attempts in the NFL.

I think it’s the battery pack for his headset and he blows on his hands because they’re cold, but vaping during a game does totally track.

The Bengals have scored over 30 points three times this year. It was against the Falcons, Steelers and Panthers. Looking at their roster, it seems like they should score 35 points at will, but for some reason they don’t.

Twitter is rampant with speculation that Mike McDaniel hit a vape pen during the game. You be the judge:
