Stripes

Now we can officially say it: In a classic 16-game format, the Bengals have inverted the 2015 season. 2015 first half 8-0 | 2022 first half 4-4 2015 second half 4-4 | 2022 second half 8-0 I like it a lot more this way.

We know nothing about Scharping other than that he is NOT a 2021 Bengal offensive lineman. So I am optimistic.

CTB has trouble finding the ball sometimes. Seems coachable.

Pittsburgh is eliminated.

Farewell Alex Cappa. Fuck you, NFL.

Refs not interested in flagging cheap shots

This team scores 27 even when it leaves points on the field.

Bills have returned TWO kickoffs for TDs. Gotta be kidding me.

Not sure from the stands, but it looked like Zac was so busy screaming at the ref that he didn’t think to challenge. I only saw a brief replay anyway. Great job by the defense to minimize the damage.

Gotta challenge that

Burrow has had a weird game, but he did complete his last 8 passes of the half. Also, he now qualifies officially with the highest career completion percentage in NFL history.

I do. The divisional round would be played in Cincinnati if they handle business in WCs.

Whole crowd is feasting on ratbird kebabs

Too many lapses on that drive defensively. Can’t relax with a lead.

I don’t see Boyd on the bench. Might have gone to the locker room?

Put 11 in the box and their QB might still miss

I think Tee’s route was interrupted on the missed TD. Getting close to Brandon Allen time.

Not even sure about Jackson next week if they’re resting Huntley today.

Let’s get this game to Brandon Allen time as fast as possible.

Kinda glad the Chiefs won. Don’t have to feel screwed out of a clean 1-seed.

Welcome to the zone.

They did it last week too. Just getting him a game check.

The corporate answer for all Bengals/Bills scenarios is “they played the same number of games, and the Bills had a better record”. I think it’s a crap argument, but that’s the argument. Apparently it was also discussed by the competition committee, and there were concerns about “logistics” (whatever the hell that means).

I’m ready for KC to eat an upset in the divisional round vs. LAC.
