MichiganCardinal Posted January 2, 2022 Posted January 2, 2022 Masterful choke job executed by Saleh and the Jets. Ran a QB sneak on a 4th&2 up 4 on the Bucs 7 with 2 minutes left... Then managed to let Brady just walk down the field for a TD. Quote
Motor City Sonics Posted January 2, 2022 Posted January 2, 2022 This Chiefs-Bengals game has been great and the ending is epic. Quote
Motor City Sonics Posted January 2, 2022 Posted January 2, 2022 I told you the Bengals were better than you thought. They just clinched their division Every year there is a worst-to-first story. Quote
RandyMarsh Posted January 2, 2022 Posted January 2, 2022 Great call by the Bengals to go for it! If they kicked the FG they would have given Mahomes 50 seconds left in a game where they hadn't been able to stop him. By going for it worst case scenario is that you go to OT cause no way KC would have tried anything getting the ball at the 1 with no TOs. They would've just settled for OT. Quote

Three years out from his firing, this Bengals team just beat the best team in the conference and is primed to host a playoff game with a good chance of winning one. That's a spot Lewis, despite some regular season success, could never attain in his entire tenure with the Bengals. Quote

pfife Posted January 2, 2022 Posted January 2, 2022 Hope Burrows injury is ok. I've hated then since Burfict but these dudes are good and dangerous as hell right now. I remember 971 burnouts earlier in the year suggesting they were a possibility for a loins win. Quote

Marvin Lewis also didn't have Joe Burrow and Lewis won multiple divisional titles with Andy Dalton. Quote

When you're the head coach of a single organization for 15 years and don't win a single playoff game, I wouldn't accept any excuse. If Dalton was what the reason that did not happen, he should have ensured Dalton was replaced. Similar to the Lions under Caldwell, it's too easy when you're a historically awful organization to become content with 10-7 or 9-8 and a first round exit, getting bounced by a big boy, being your best possible season. This isn't the MAC and you're not Central Michigan. Expect more. This Bengals team is better than anything Lewis produced because they aren't rolling over late in the season. They're benefitting from the Steelers being down, absolutely, but at the end of the day the head coach is the reason they may advance beyond the first round. Quote

I mean, this Bengals team is 10-6 and haven't won a playoff game yet so I wouldn't anoint them yet. The Lewis Bengals won division titles in a division that had a very good Steelers and Ravens team. I guess congratulations you won a division title that Lewis did 4 times and won 10 games which Lewis did 6 times. The 0-7 playoff record is what ultimately done him in. I'll wait until there is playoff success. Quote

Look doesn't mean anything if they don't ultimately do something. Quote
RandyMarsh Posted January 2, 2022 Posted January 2, 2022 I definitely think they are capable of going forward but that says more about the parity in the NFL than anything. There isn't a Brady and Belichick in their prime, Peyton Manning Colts/Broncos or prime Steelers like Lewis had to deal with. Quote
sagnam Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 That Bengals team that lost Carson Palmer in the first playoff game to a dirty hit to the knee looked like it had a chance as well. Quote

sagnam Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) Was Antonio Brown unable to play due to his ankle injury? Seems like a stretch because lots of players get injured and can’t return without as much drama. But it is fuel. from another story Bruce Arians on Antonio Brown: “He just can’t help himself” “Nope, I’m not going in,” Brown told Arians, according to Arians. King notes that, per TheAthletic.com, Brown claimed his ankle was sore. Whatever the specifics, Arians said he became “very” angry with Brown, who proceeded to remove his shoulder pads, jersey, T-shirt, and gloves and leave the field — and then the stadium.

MichiganCardinal Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 Whatever the reasoning, this hurts the Bucs. Already without Godwin, they're going to be relying past Evans on a lot of receivers who seem more appropriate on the Lions than the defending Super Bowl champs. Quote
