It’s interesting that the bengals are calling it rigged. Let’s not remember last year against the Raiders in the wild card round where the refs blew a play dead but allowed the result of a TD in Cinci’s favor. Raiders probably win that game if not for that call

I do wonder if it’s the scheme that isn’t allowing our d line to get pressure/ sacks. It feels like we play very straight up all the time. Rarely do we see stunts or moving players around the line like we saw with chris Jones last night. Albeit, we don’t have a chris Jones. but I would be willing to bet that the first priority is to play sound defense and defend a gap. After that you can rush the passer. This doesn’t allow for as many sacks. Maybe it’s another Frazier defensive concept that is stunting the production of our d line. or maybe they just very average players. Rousseau included.

Without a doubt. It’s a huge turn-off by the bengals to just talk so brazenly. It’s America. Everyone likes the underdog who’s humble. But I gotta say, chiefs were getting a lot of calls going their way at pivotal times. penalties that the refs have been leaving uncalled all playoffs. Especially at pivotal times. I would be livid if I were a bengals fan. Anyways, go Philly!

Hate to say it, but I think the Bengals win it all. the Super Bowl-less team club will probably get one team smaller this year. We hold company with teams like the Browns and Jags and Panthers. Sad thought

Eagles know they just need to not commit any turnovers. They are going to play it very safe. Runs, dump offs and passes along the sidelines. Nothing to risk letting niners back in the game. Because we know, as well as the eagles, their offense ain’t doing squat

Niners look like they are about to give up

I think they absolutely win the division. Dolphins have enough talent on defense to be a top 5 defense next year. Fortunately Josh has performed well against Vic in the past, but who knows next year.

NFL is probably telling the refs to make sure Eagles get every single call, even if it’s ticky tacky, just to ensure we don’t have to watch josh Johnson in the SB trying to keep up with an AFC offense

Agree. Although I feel like the penalties dropped drastically once the playoffs started. niners can’t catch a break.

This is a brutal ending to the season for the niners. Really sucks for them.

Maybe. But then if the rest of the season holds true we get the one seed and probably make it to AFCC game. Goes to show that every singular play matters

Would not be surprised to see the eagles be almost conservative knowing the niners won’t be able to score. Wouldn’t be surprised to see this game be 28-3

Forgiveness doesn’t require reconstitution of respect nor want to honor someone

Well I think if McD holds both of these coordinators then he’s certainly sticking his own neck out there to be canned. If defense is useless again next season I think it means not only is frazier gone, but so will McD

Just don’t understand how if you’re any bengals player, you can’t win with dignity. You beat us in Buffalo. Quit acting like a troll and instigating other adults. That’s the behavior of a two year old. That’s also what’s wrong with society today. Fan was justified to do that

He is from the perspective he will get paid significantly less than Dak and the cowboys would get probably a first for Dak. So I would think that’s actually not a bad idea. Especially if you know Dak isn’t the future. Use that capital for the future to build up the team and potentially trade up for an elite QB 2-3 years down the line.

Maybe Mac Jones as onto something when he tried to take Eli out. Haha

Dorsey is bottom third in terms of quality of OCs in the league. He just happens to have an elite QB who can make the offense appear better than it is. Outside of the first four games this season, our offense has not looked like it had any rhythm or was able to set up plays later on in the game. Dorsey is simply in over his head and I’d hate to waste another year of Josh’s prime waiting for Dorsey to get better

Regardless if Hamlin comes back or not, he was not very good this year. Lots of mistakes. Didn’t really show a natural talent to man the backend of our defense. We need find that diamond in the rough via free agency, IMO

Their secret last year was the offense generating a huge lead forcing the other team out of their game plan and throwing the ball. This defense is built to play with a lead. And our offense this season wasn’t really able to get us the requisite leads so our defense just got shredded. this all comes down to our defense can’t win games on their own. They are reliant on the offense to be performing well every week. That is not the way to build a championship team

I think both need to go. Dorsey ran a pretty inefficient offense. He’s just lucky that Josh is such a great player and could routinely make off a schedule plays. But nothing on offense looked easy this year. It was a constant struggle outside the first two weeks

Buyers remorse perhaps?

You can’t honestly say our defense was effective all year. They never seemed to get the important stops and let teams stay in games. Rarely did we play complimentary football.

I think Frazier should absolutely be gone. 13 seconds, now this whole season. and if McD wants to save his own butt he will fire Dorsey and get a better OC (hopefully Reich) to take the reins and make the offense more efficient and fluid

I really don’t like Mixon. And Burrow comes off as very cocky and arrogant. Not qualities I particularly like. to me, there is nothing really redeeming about the bengals. No one player I have a massive amount of respect for. I’d say the same for the chiefs. So in the end I wouldn’t mind seeing Mccaffery or Hurts get a ring. Probably leaning towards hurts.
