derekshank Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 The Jets hold the tiebreaker advantage over the Bengals with a better record against common opponents.The Jets and Bengals have the exact same outcome in all common opponent games. Is it because the Jets beat Buffalo twice... and the Bengals only beat them once? Well, if that's the case, that tie-breaker goes away if the Bengals beat Baltimore in week 17 (The Jets lost to the Ravens... and the Bengals will be 1-1 against them). If that is how it works... the next tie-breaker is strength of victory. The Jets only have one win against a team with a winning record (Dallas)... so if the Bengals beat the Ravens, it will be really close.It will really suck if Cincy misses out on the playoffs because of the 5th tiebreaker.

They also didn't beat the Broncos before Tebow and with half the Bronco's team in the training room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sincerest apologies.Apparently, seeing the Ravens beat to a bloody pulp filled me with such excitement and glee that I lost my head momentarily.

Sea Ray Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Honestly, I'm not worrid about the playoffs. I just want to see my team continue to win. If they win this week, they'll have something to play for on the last day of the year and that's exciting for us Bengal fans. If they finish 10-6 I'll applaud them for a great year and see where they stand playoff-wise. If they don't finish 10-6 then they don't deserve it. Personally, I think they'll be in awfully good shape with a 10-6 finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Just to wrap back around since I mentioned this during the game, Bears WR Johnny Knox appears to have dodged a bullet. He'll need back surgery but he's got feeling and movement in all his limbs and should be able to play in 2012. Scary moment, though./>http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/bears/9518990-606/johnny-knox-needs-back-surgery-but-hell-be-ok.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Yup. Still funny the next day.I think my favorite part is at the very end when he looks at the sideline then points to himself. "Me? You want me to come off? What I do?"/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgS0EM9Pc_A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekshank Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Did anyone notice Dunlap during the game?I'm not sure how many snaps he played... but I can't really recall noticing him do anything the entire day. Seems like he's still hampered. Hope the dude is healthy for the next two games. They need his production badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walzav29 Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 It may take a couple games to get back into game shape. The Cardinals give up the 2nd most sacks and the Bengals are 4th in sacks. This game is on the offense. They have to start hot, and fix the redzone issues. Cards are hot, but the Bengals have to have this game, are at home on Christmas eve. Even thats an advantage. You know the Rams know they have a long day ahead of them, and have to get home after the game and flight. It's a distraction. The Bengals have to win this game.

BengalByTheBay Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 I can only recall noticing Dunlap on one play that he flushed Clemens out of the pocket. He did seem to be moving well, so there's that, but definitely not the force I would've liked to see at the end of the game. I suppose I'm guilty of being greedy/spoiled. I also noticed that Rey was out on every 3rd & long. Has that been the case all year? If so, I hadn't noticed it. It looked like Brandon Johnson was in for those and I think I even saw Skuta in a few times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
