He probably wasn't instructed by anyone to film the Bengals' sideline. I'm sure he just liked the gear they were wearing.

Nonsense.

You should have seen the Rams game....OMG

They acquired him for the playoff run this year and he’s been a complete zero.

I also have a problem with Brown’s route. If he was running closer to parallel with the goal line, I don’t think Peters is able to make that play.

I just watched the replay again multiple times and it's not at all clear that Peters ever touched the ball. He clearly affected Brown's ability to catch it, but it doesn't look like he actually touched the ball.

No way the players did that on their own.

I didn’t see a great replay of it, but I think the last pass to Brown was catchable. The DB was all over Brown, but I don’t think he actually got his hand on the ball. I could be wrong, though.

There was also a very nice deep ball to Singletary that should have been caught.

Maybe he wanted to go after Harbaugh for the fake kneel-down.

Your (low) football IQ is showing. They needed a two-point conversión at some point. Why not go for it there, when the defense is tired and you still have time to try something else if you don’t make it? It also keeps alive the opportunity to go for two again and win the game in regulation.

Not me.

Bengals are a different team with Dalton. Patriots are reeling. I give the Bengals a shot, and I like them a lot getting 10 points. This game is their whole season.

Here’s a happy Monday thought: The Patriots gave up a second round draft pick for Mohammad Sanu.??

Thanks for coming by. I mostly agree with your post. Jackson didn’t have a great game, but he was playing against maybe the best defense in the league, in a tough environment. He’s very hard to defend and he’s still learning. I thought the Ravens play calling was highly questionable at times. They got fancy too often when they should have just fed Ingram and Edwards (who’s a beast, by the way). One thing I noticed was that Ravens were almost totally shut down when they were in unfavorable down and distance; it’s critically important to hold them to 3 yds or less on first down—easier said than done, of course. Ravens defense was tremendous; much better than I expected. They are right up there with the best units in the league. Also highly impressed with special teams; Roberts had nowhere to go.

That was a terrible spot. Lockett had the first.

Yep. We need to draft 2 WRs, a RB and probably another TE.

This is inarguable. Our defense really can’t play any better than it’s played this year. With an above average offense, we’d be 11-2 or better. And no, we don’t desperately need an edge rusher, although would be nice if we signed one in FA. We are generating more than enough pressure.

This is very nearly as satisfying as a Bills win.

I don’t think I’ve seen a more electrifying player than Tyreek Hill. I think he’s the fastest player in the league and he absolutely never drops the ball.

I like that he isn’t constantly over-hyping and ball-washing whoever is the star of the moment (like Collinsworth). He just calls it like it is and gives great insights.

Is there any doubt that Romo is the best in the business?

NE is leaking oil. Winning in Cinci next Sunday is not guaranteed.

Look for a fine from the No Fun League.

Starting to feel that way myself, thanks to State Farm.
