Always cracks me up when Kentuckians who root for the Bengals make this type of idiotic comment.
As a resident of Cincinnati no they don't.
Actually, they've looked good most of the year against good teams, aside from the earlier season demolition at the hands of the Ravens. Other than than, 3 crap the bed games against terrible teams, as seems to be the norm the last few seasons. It's one thing to have Antonio Brown and Heath Miller, and it is an entirely different one to actually use them like they should be. Props to Haley, who I've generally hated during his tenure.
Wait, what? Pittsburgh played 4 of the first 6 on the road. From week 10 to week 15, they played 4 out of 5 on the road. You realize each team plays 8 home and 8 away, right? You realize a couple of weeks ago, the Bengals had a HOME game against the Steelers, in which Cincy could have wrapped up the division? Was that the fault of the schedule makers?
So your answer is that it's better to be a bandwagoner for a franchise whose local citizens have equal if not more disparaging feelings about kentuckians? Are you really that touching stupid?
Just don't see it being close, but yeah, if it is, you probably have it right about the ending.
You can't have first and goal to go up 13 and fumble on a rip. Oh wait... yes you can. You're the crappiest choking franchise in the history of sports.
How so? Still playing for the division and #3 seed.
I don't think anyone is really arguing they are not a very good team. Running game is good and have very good offensive talent except at Quarterback which is an area you really need to be good at. Defense is very good. The point is and if you were watching the game I believe you probably saw it too, Dalton was missing his receivers constantly. That is not just this game either, it has been all year long. His touchdowns passes to interceptions is pretty close in number. While I agree anything can happen, I don't think they can make it to the Super Bowl with Dalton. If they do, I will come back here and happily eat crow.
Just a little in-game redass. I'd say many (or most) Bengals fans were thinking it, he just said it.
It's very possible.
Linked. I tried a bunch of different outcomes for the probable playoff teams and didn't get Pit-Cin once. The Bengals still have a shot at a bye, but unless something crazy happens the most important thing to come out of this game will be who ends up on a collision course to play @ NE before the AFC Championship.
I believe that is correct.
Some people are just to dumb to understand that. Most areas that I have encountered have large numbers of fans for neighboring state teams. Here in Oklahoma is a prime example. They hate the Longhorns but, a vast majority of them love the Cowboys. It is the closest team in proximity to most Oklahomans.
Yep. Game also has implications for next season. Winner plays NE and Indy, loser plays Buffalo and Houston. I really don't think either team has much of a chance of beating Brady but winning tonight would delay playing them until the AFC Championship.Originally posted by UK_Norm:
Nobody talking NFL today?
Bengals/Steelers: Winner gets a home game against the Ravens, loser gets a road game against the Colts. Is that correct?
