How exciting is the TX KC game- that's entertainment ... to hear the home crowd boo at the end of half was kinda surprising.
I remember back when the Bengals were going undefeated, everyone was getting all hyped around here in Northern Kentucky. However those who weren't Bengals fans, such as myself, began saying the season doesn't mean much until you do something in the playoffs and don't get knocked out in the first round like they have in the past couple of years. Maybe this season they'll do something for once.
Got no bone in the fight, so am enjoying it. Maybe the wine helps... The 106 yard TD run, JJ Watt played quarterback, the crowd is livid, the gf is cooking, next NFL game coming. Thinking happy ending b4 the night is done.
Damn. If this game was hockey, a fight would break out. With that last TD for KC, it's a 3 score game for TX. Only about 20 min left. But they have 3 time outs. Could still be a nail biter.
Yep. Last half was brutal to watch. Often wonder how two competitive teams have a blowout in playoffs. Do they pay extra guys to watch film and plan game strategy they wouldn't normally do for regular season... Usually a star quarterback will dictate a game. Lets see if PB and CA game is better...Going with PB as long as Ben stays healthy.
Well despite the exciting finish with the Bengals overcoming a 15 point deficit, I am overall not surprised that they once again didn't have anything to show for the post season once again. However that catch by Martavis Bryant though... Move over Odell Beckham because that was probably the new catch of the year.
I was rooting for the Bungals. Thought McCarron played well enough to win. It's ridiculous how the game ended. The Bengals once again allowed themselves to employ low character players who have a history. Burfict and Jones gave the Steelers 30 yards tacked onto the end of that drive. Defenseless recieve penalty (could of killed him with that hit) and Jones grabbing a ref. So stupid. I always appreciated Marven Lewis and how he works with reclamation projects. But it cost the city of Cincy to lose another playoff game.
Bizarre. Absolutely bizarre. Only in the NFL. ± 25 seconds to go and the Vikings field goal attempt missed. So the game was declared over. I am a HUGE Seahawks fan. True addict. But that just gutted all the pleasure out of the win. Who knows how many plays, what could have come out of that half minute...
As a Dallas fan I rather enjoyed the KC-Houston game as the Houston fans never have impressed me though I live in their 'market'. The GB-Washington game was also pleasant to watch as well. The Bengal's deserved to lose that one by what they did at the end, no class whatsoever. Felt for the Vike's and wished the pulled it out, but I sometimes think Seattle has a pact with the devil!
Kickers are a strange breed. Other football players don't really consider them as real football players...opposing coaches often will call a timeout just before that critical kick, just to mess with kickers confidence. Thinking buddy saw the laces and freaked. Most NFL kickers would make that short FG even with the laces facing in.
I agree. It the world of football...that's an epic miss. I really hope he doesn't recieve any fan base threats.
I hate the Steelers with a passion but give respect to Big Ben for coming out of the locker room injured to finish the game. Can't believe Hill fumbled followed by outrageous penalties by the Bengals.... Grrrr how do you lose in such a fashion?!?!?!
The laces mean nothing. He kicked a 40+ yard FG earlier in the game with the laces facing the wrong way. Apparently, the holders don't try to spin the ball around when its that cold. The best comparison I heard was from Cris Collinsworth who said, "There's no way to practice hitting a 3-foot put to win the Masters." Sometimes guys just choke when the pressure's on. Walsh has nothing to fear. We're used to Lucy pulling the ball away at the last minute. That's how we roll. I give a lot of credit to him, though. He stood in front of the cameras and microphones and took the blame for it. He said the snap and hold were fine. He just missed it. My take on it is this. Few gave the Vikes any chance of beating Seattle. They came awfully close to doing just that. The loss was a total team loss. The defense allowed Wilson to escape after a horrible snap and complete a pass for a 1st & Goal, which led to the only TD of the game. On the offense, AP fumbled away the football which eventually turned into a FG for the Seahawks. There were plenty of goats on the Vikings side of the ball in that game. Unfortunately, the only one who people seem to blame is the guy who scored the 9 points that they did get.
One of things that I despise about the Bengals are their fans. When Ben Roethlisberger was being carted off the field, some of the Bengals fans thought that it would be an absolutely splendid idea to start throwing garbage at him. Now granted, not all Bengals fans are like this, but it is fans like those who throw garbage at the players of the other team that give the entire fan base a bad image. You can even hear the commentators making the observation that when the fans were throwing the beer cans at Ben the crowd was actually cheering about that. To be very honest, I am actually quite happy that the Bengals lost considering how the fans were acting and the actions of Adam Pacman Jones and Vontaze Burfict. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnXOljWY3gY
Yeah, that was a terrible display. But then again, I'm a Philly fan, so our fan base would have thrown D Duracels
Nice slate of games on today. Really looking forward to the NE vs. Chiefs. I will be naturally rooting against NE see it as I live in New England.
