Week 16: Bengals @ Patriots

[jonf45uk]

Just one first down please

[jonf45uk]

48 seconds, not good

[jonf45uk]

All on you d

[HoosierCat]

Fucking cardiac cats

[jonf45uk]

Fuck me that was a hard watch

[volcom69]

Lol what a weird game

[HoosierCat]

Merry Christmas everyone!

[Stripes]

Thank goodness. I suggest we all throw out that second half. New England had more than one very unlikely play to keep them alive.

[jonf45uk]

I'd love to see us play a complete game , but I'll take wins no matter how they come!!!

[volcom69]

Should have never been in that spot but a win is a win, not sure if they went conservative in the second half or what but at 22-0 should have won that game awhile ago. Oh well a win is a win

[HoosierCat]

Bonus Xmas present: Saints beat Browns 17-10, eliminating Cleveland from the playoffs.

[Stripes]

The Patriots converted multiple 3rds and long against triple coverage, with a barely-good catch on the sideline, with a colossal fluke ricochet TD, and forced a Chase fumble. That’s not to mention the miscommunication and pick six.

I’m throwing it out. Horrible luck throughout the second half and the Bengals won anyway.

We’re on to Buffalo.

Merry Christmas everyone from the UK :)

That’s a new and interesting way to win a game.

We used to find novel ways to lose games, so I’ll take it!!

Collins’ injury seemed to be a line of demarcation.  Good before, not good after.  Need better pass protection to beat the bills.

At this point, I think Zach Wilson is entering Ryan Leaf/Akili Smith/Jamarcus Russell territory.

Just to follow up, appears he’s done in NY.

Collins said his knee cap got dislocated and popped back into place said will miss next week, but could be back after that

[volcom69]

I know the bengals are not a running team, but up 22-0 wish they didn’t throw it 52 times. Just wish they could run it more or even a little better to help balance it out a bit with such a big lead.

I will take it, took multiple gifts to get the Patriots within firing range.  That was absolutely a fumble, the they essentially converted two hail Mary's.

On to Buffalo and I believe they will win.

100%. Sometimes shit just happens. Awesome they found a way to make one last play and win it. I really had resigned myself that winning 7 in a row was a bridge too far and that luck was against them in the second half. Will happily take the W and let them learn from that. 

[membengal]

yikes and thank God

[Stripes]

Whew. Glad they were able to get that sorted.

[ArmyBengal]

The first half went exactly like I thought it would. That was the Patriots team I was expecting. Then the second half comes and they are lucky to leave with the “W”.

That being said, they fucking left with the “W”. Suck it New England !!

Merry Christmas to my Bengalszone family and to your families as well !!

Mac Jones deserves a fine.
