Week 15: Bengals @ Buccaneers

[TJJackson]

If I had good money to bet - and I dont, since I am saving up for a visit to the Arbys in Heath - I'd put it on the two callups from the PS for the Tampa game to both be corners

If not that, a cb and Lassiter

so many walking wounded

[TJJackson]

Word is that Lamar Jackson isnt going to play vs the Browns. 

Hoping as always for a Ravens loss......hopefully Garrett and Chubb can do us a solid this week and hand the Ravens a L

[ArmyBengal]

I will be paying attention to both that game and the Falcons game as former UC QB Ridder is getting his first pro start.

Go Browns !?!?

[TJJackson]

If we win and the Ravens lose, I believe we ascend to the 3rd seed

Chiefs get Houston, so I assume that even with a win we'd still be back one game on them, and ergo the Chiefs would stilll own one of the top 2 seeds

The Bills get the Dolphins, so this could go either way.  If they lose and we win, we'd be tied by W-L record but I'd bet the Bills hold the tiebreaker (I leave it to others to dive deeper in that, but our conference record just has to be worse) so the Bills would still own the other of the two top seeds

so I think the 3 seed is our best possible outcome this weekend, and thats only if we win AND the ravens lose

Since the 7 seed only has 7 wins, it looks like a worst case loss would still leave us as a playoff seed, either seed 5 or seed 6

 

[ArmyBengal]

Just beat the shit out of the Bucs and let the rest fall where it may.
Keep winning and everything else will fall into place.
Another home playoff game this year would be fucking amazing though !!!

I am starting to get a strangely bad feeling about this game. Hopefully it’s just diarrhea.

[ArmyBengal]

Blame Arby's

I had that feeling headed into the Browns game but we prevailed.

Funny you mention Arby’s, I put in a full days work (for once), didn’t plan dinner, so I’m heading over to the Heath Arby’s drive-thru.  Probably end up schooling some discourteous teenagers on proper drive thru etiquette.  

[Stripes]

I think my diarrhea is just the reverse curse energy from everyone in the national media treating this like a gimme for the Bengals. I definitely don’t think it’ll be a walkover with both teams so dinged up. But a one score win will still do just fine.

[TJJackson]

2-0 is fine

Gimme a win and no more damn injuries, and all else is fine

[Stripes]

I enjoyed this.

[ShulaSteakhouse]

Logan looks happy to see her

[ShulaSteakhouse]

No Hendrickson or Hurst or Hilton.  At least Ossai was a full participant, as was Boyd and Higgins.  (not sure what Boyd is doing rushing back)

[COB]

Boyd had a dislocated finger that punched through the skin, had surgery on it, and is practicing 5 days later.  

[HoosierCat]

Clowns up 3 over Ratbirds at the half.. 

[COB]

Watching this slog.  Rich Eisen and Kurt Warner could not hide their disdain at halftime.  Basically mocked it as a field goal contest, and the camera guy made sure to show the fattest and dumbest looking fans he could find in the dawg pound.  

[HoosierCat]

Browns up 10 now

[HoosierCat]

Man, Ravens can’t buy a point tonight…

[COB]

Ravens defense looks vulnerable.  I’m starting to like our chances against them (if Lamar doesn’t make it back).

[Stripes]

Be nice to see the Ravens finally pay for being so inept on offense 

[HoosierCat]

Both these team suck

[COB]

Hard to root for the browns, but it’s easier with that giant elf painted on the middle of the field. It’s just so different compared to everything else in this league.  

[COB]

Browns should just feed Chubb.

Just now, COB said:

Yup
