Game thread: MNF Cincinnati at Jacksonville

[Solomon Grundy]

I thought the timeout was to ice the kicker😎

Not giving the Bills a pass here as they did it to themselves, but I HATE the way the AFC is shaping up...such mediocre teams now and of course we'll juuussst miss the playoffs

Well, the Cincy wins moves Buffalo from 11th to 12th place in the AFC. Great.

 

Lots of football left to play. Jaguars entire season could have changed tonight, same with Bengals.

 

You just never know

Kind of gutless to not let Browning have a chance with the ball in his hands. He's played lights out in an impossible situation, and you just leave it up to your middling kicker.

 

Of course the middling kicker made it as I typed this because every team other than the Bills can just have everything go right for them.

It almost feels like they know something…

Firmly in the hunt!

Just saying...that garbage holding penalty decided the game 

[BigDingus]

86.5% completions on 37 attempts is nuts, especially for a backup. 

 

Congrats to Browning on the win, though it's not exactly good for us.

What a game by Browning! 

 

You have to be impressed 

 

I think it also shows how set up for success Burrow is if your backup shows out like this.

Not anymore. Sigh...

Another game ruined by the refs. Jax deserved that W.  Hope Jesus is ok. 

 

I disagree. Cincy played better - especially when it counted.

 

If Boyd doesn't throw that pick, Cincy probably wins pretty easily.

Hard to believe we're pretty much out of the playoffs and looking up at multiple teams who are no choice but to play backup QBs for long stretches. A wasted season, during the first year in Allen's career where there are no AFC teams without major flaws.

Incredibly impressed with Browning. That definitely wasn’t luck. That was skill, poise and preparation. Very well done. Great story.

That’s why Miami is going super bowling i think.  They are better than the other mediocres, despite not beating a winning team yet.  they will.

Not good for us, but inconsequential if we don’t handle our own business. 

 

 

I truly don’t think it matters.

 

Browning just played the game of his life but it’s doubtful he can replicate that over and over again. He just scored scored a whopping 10 points against the Steelers last week.

 

Bengals have Colts, Vikings, Steelers, Chiefs and Browns left. There is minimum 2 more losses in there.

At this rate, it'll be just like 2004 all over again. 

 

Making it to a win-and-in scenario, then somehow choking against the Dolphins backups or something. Please let me be wrong!!!

I have no idea how that laughing giraffe got in there. Honestly no clue. But i’m leaving it because why not. Weird.

Yea but thing is a minimum of two losses is not good for us because that means other teams in the hunt are winning. 

 

We needed Bengals to lose tonight and then win a lot of games. Can't have that happen anymore. 

 

Whatever. Bills need to win out. Anything else is way too messy to even worry about at this point.

That’s quite the logic.

I always root for the wrong stuff anyway.  Maybe this was the best result.

 

Jax only has a 1 game lead in their division now.   They could spiral down, especially if Lawrence misses multiple games..

 

All I really know at this point is that the Bills need to win games, and win them w/ great frequency.
