The fans need an upgrade too

You forgot QBR. You know because that tells you nothing. This dude actually compares Mccorkle to Allen as if they are peers. He is delusional.

Josh has played 6 playoff games and has one int. McCorkle has played one playoff game and has two ints.

Really. It wasn’t 33-21 with 300 yards and 3 tds and 64 rushing yards? It was close though not an easy pick six was not an easy pick six. It was not an easy catch and he would not have scored but it could hav swung the game. Mac had 145 yards 0 tds and 2 ints. Do you think that is about the same as Allen? https://www.espn.com/nfl/game/_/gameId/401326561 i see why you face palm all the time.

And the raiders are ontlo the offseason.

This was gonna be my score also!

Heard of him so let’s sign him!

World number 3, wow did not realize she got that high.

Looks like the Bengals and their fans are quite upset over this. I do think the Bengals are getting the raw end of the deal to a degree but I also think its just happenstance, there was no perfectly fair way to handle this. They think the NFL hates their organization and their "small market" and favors the love childs of Buffalo and KC...you know the "big markets". Who wants to tell them Buffalo is a smaller market and Cincinatti? http://thebengalsboard.com/Thread-It-s-no-longer-conspiracy-Bengals-organization-themselves-feel-disrespected-by-NFL Some highlights Fantastic. I didn't think anyone would have the courage to speak out. First Blackburn, then Mixon, now Zac. Someone should detail the many points of how this is unfair, but Zac's comment was succinct and to the point and "let's just follow the rules." Mike must have zero friends among fellow owners to effectuate change in favor of the organization. Bengals get butchered when it comes to this sort of manner. NFL wants the 2 love child’s, KC and Buffalo, to play for the AFC championship. That’s why they screwed the Bengals. If Buffalo doesn't forfeit the game we are now enemies. Cincinnati saved your players life ffs I think this is a simple truth. It's all about the storyline, the $$$, and the such. Even Joey B's talent and being a cool ass dude can't overcome small-town Cincinnati, historically bad franchise Bengals, and the Brown-stigma for getting the NFL's attention. They will never do this. When Hamlin went down the Bills' staff and players expected us to act honorably and help them, but now the dust has settle and getting the best seed they can get is their biggest goal. There's a good chance these two teams face each other in the divisional round, probably at Buffalo. I can't wait to see how the Bills' owner and staff will proceed, there will be a lot of talk about playing that game in a neutral stadium. If they really care about us and what the Bengals organization did to them then they should show some respect and dignity and forfeit the home field advantage. Life is not supposed to be fair anyway... the good guys, the ones trying to help people end up getting screwed sometimes. I'll demand we hand the Lombardi back if Joe Burrow isn't on the mic singing 'WHO DEY think gunna beat them Bengals? Noooooootttttt the NFL!' The disgusting message the NFL just gave was: Your team is playing another team who has a player paralyzed and is fighting for his life, insist on finishing the game. If the team with the injured player doesn't want to play, demand a forfeit. I was no big fan of Tagliabue, but Goodell is an ass of epic proportions!

Every crisis is an opportunity ?

One issue with this is I think then there is a good chance Patriots come back the next week. I don't see the Bill taking the foot off the gas at all for this game. For those that remember the greatest comeback. Same situation. The Oilers were in Buffalo to end the season, they had to win and get in, the Bills were banged up bad and played terrible, the Oilers smashed them. Then came back the next week and continued the butt kicking for another half and beginning of the third before the Bills woke up. I don't think you want to lose to the division rivals and have them have the perception you dont respect them and welcome them back the next week. Get the highest seed possible to get a second home game!

Ok if you say so, I say pointing to any loss of any game and saying well you should have won that game to avoid this given this unique unpresented situation is ridiculous.

What about the case where Cinci and Buffalo win but KC loses. In that scenario the records would be Bills 13-3 Cinci 12-4 KC 13-4 But if Cinci has beaten the Bills there would be a three way tie, Cinci woudl have beaten BUF and KC, should that game not be at a neutral site if Buf and Cinci are in the championship game?

ZERO!!!!! And everyone needs to accept it

While that is true, you are completely missing the point. I mean The Bills would be the one seed right now if they took a snap vs Minnesota. The point is that there is a game unplayed that affects the standings giving the outcomes of all the games there were actually played. It is unfair to the Bengals because they had a shot at the one seed but because the game was not played, they lose that. They also win their division for the same reason. Again, there is no fair way to handle this, they are going to make a decision and it will be what it is. That is correct, I was forgetting about the tie breaker the Bills own over KC

Oh the tiebreaker....that is what I was missing, thanks

Just incredible.

Interesting that if KC loses the AFC Championship game is in Buffalo when that was not really determined. What is the reasoning for that? Lets go Stidham!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is no way to do this fair but this sucks for the Bengals.

What is interesting to me is if Buffalo wins this week and KC loses, the Bills will get the one seed and get the bye and home field advantage? This seems unfair to KC becuase the unequal game thing is still in affect and if it was played, it is possible KC could have gotten the one seed outright. I dont think they listed all the possibilities. Did they say how they will sell seats for the neutral site game? It is possible they will give the option to season ticket holders. While I understand your frustration, do you not see there is no ideal solution here? It is at a neutral site because home field was not fully determined, it could have gone either way including the Bills not having it meaning you would have to go to KC.

The outcome of the bills bengals game is unknowable. There is simply no option that would make this perceived as fair. I am good with what they are doing knowing there is no way to really “fix” the situation.

Right now he is not himself, I don't think he would be super effective in any position.

Finsup is the dumbest thing ever

Correct he has not been diagnosed with that

I noticed that too. Whatever happened with Kim is not good
