Low Positive

That was local boy Sam Hubbard. The refs would have been killed if they called that. It’s like I’m sure that there were holds and blocks in the back on Hines’ KO return but there was no way that was going to be flagged.

Yesterday was only the second time that the Bills defense has given up 30 points.

Then how do you explain that soft DPI call on Tre that extended the Dolphins lone actual drive?

I would argue that it started snowballing when Knox dropped that pass in the EZ. Then after the FG Bass kicked out of bounds giving the Fins a short field.

The stoppages yesterday were on the reds and both teams for punting and turning the ball over. By the third quarter I think CBS had run out of ads because they didn’t cut away after a few punts and some timeouts.

The only teams that the Bengals have scored 35 or more points on all year have been the Steelers, Panthers and Falcons. All of their playoff wins last year came down to the final possession. Even with all those weapons and with how good Burrow is they don’t tend to blow teams out. You know that.

You don’t get 3 being the home team anymore. It’s usually 1.5 or so, but it varies from game to game. I posted an article on this up thread.

Last night was an interesting case for Collinsworth. He played for the Bengals, lives in Cincinnati and is around the team all the time. I think he did a professional job of analyzing the game and not being a homer. But I’m sure Ravens fans don’t agree.

What they were taking you on for is that Vegas odds makers don’t just give the home team an automatic 3 points anymore. You’re right in that was the practice for a long time. Now, they actually try to use analytics to figure out what the home field is worth in any given game. It’s usually closer to 1.5 but it varies.

People, me included, say a lot of crazy things that we don’t really mean in the heat of the moment.

I watch every Bengals game living here. This is who they are. Hot and cold.

They just have flaws like all NFL teams in the salary cap er.

No horse collars in the pocket.

The entire right side of the OL is out injured.

The only time the Bengals scored more than 40 all year was against the Panthers.

I feel like you guys have only watched the Bengals through highlights.

Bengals always go cold at some point. They scored 3 points in the second half last week.

Oh no. Go read their game thread. They are livid.

On the second Bills drive of the game, Josh beat a cover 0 blitz with a long pass to Diggs that set the first TD. We love those plays when they work.

Why are we talking about the Bills here. This game is fantastic (no defense) and there is a post game thread to complain about Ken Dorsey. Most teams do.

Me too. No alcohol, just BP.

I know that no one want to hear this right now, but the Bengals had wins by7, 3 and 3 on their way to the SB. The Raiders had the ball inside the 10 down 7 at the end of the game. I thought that this would be a blowout, but playoff games tend to be close.

I drank nothing but water all game. I did have to turn it off for a while.
