Most disappointing part of it all is that the Lions could have and should have drafted Aaron Donald. But Jim Caldwell - who gets way too much unwarranted praise - said he was too small to play DT in the NFL. Mayhew agreed and they took Ebron. Nice job, guys, Just makes me more frustrated w the Lions than anything. Yeah, Donald is a wrecking machine. This year’s playoffs were awesome. |

Quite annoying game. Watching Stafford screw up right and left only to be bailed out by his defense - forcing the ball to his no.1 WR…some things never change. Most disappointing part of it all is that the Lions could have and should have drafted Aaron Donald. But Jim Caldwell - who gets way too much unwarranted praise - said he was too small to play DT in the NFL. Mayhew agreed and they took Ebron.

I watched the end of the Cincinnati/Pittsburgh game and I heard something I cannot remember hearing before. Not to the level it was. The announcers were working hard to put themselves over. Before the extra point attempt that would have given Cincinnati the comeback win they talked about the long snapper not being the normal one. When the kick was blocked the both of them but especially the one who pointed it out first kept blaming the snap. It was a good snap. The problem was the O-line forgot to block Fitzpatrick. He had two guys to block and he took the outside guy and let the inside guy, Fitzpatrick, come in unblocked. He should have taken the inner guy and let the more outside guy go since he could only block one. The announcers talked about the time the ball took to get to the holder but I do not think .05 seconds faster would help. Not when you let a guy run in unblocked which they completely ignored. As I continued to watch the game I ended up muting them as they were getting annoying. It was worse than listening to Corey Graves.
To the Bengal fans, you know you have nothing to worry about. Your guys made a lot of mistakes and still almost won. They will bounce back and tear thru the rest of their schedule on the way to the playoffs and hopefully a long run. Only the Bills really stand in your way to a return to the SB.

Very scary indeed. Glad someone had the common sense to postpone the game.

I know when it was happening there was talk about the length of time it took. But that is not something that should be rushed especially since the ones who can officially make that call were probably busy making sure Hamlin was ok and getting the best treatment not to mention checking on his family.

The AFC Championship game is going to be a doozy. Cincy and KC are slowly becoming the Indy/New England of the past.

Congrats to the Bengals for killing the need for a neutral site game.

I’m enjoying this run by the Bengals. 10 game winning streak is a franchise record.. hopefully they can beat the chiefs again but beating a team four times in just over a year will be hard to do.

Sadly I think the NFL might write the script for KC to win the AFC. There are better story lines depending on who wins the NFC. San Fran? The history of the 49ers having GOAT QBs that end up leaving San Fran near the end of their career and going to KC. Philly? The Andy Reid connection baby.
