Lions Game Game Ball - bfine32 - 12-24-2017
The old Game Ball has been kind of dusty this year, but the Bengals give us one just in time for Christmas.
Your nominees
GIO BERNARD: 116 Rushing Yards, 52 receiving Yards, 1 TD
CLINT BOLING: Played LT for the first time in his NFL career and may have given us our best performance to date
RANDY BULLOCK: 4 for 4 on FGs with a long of 51 and 2 for 2 on XPs. 14 total points
DARQUESE DENNARD:Tteam high 7 tackles and very good in coverage
CARLOS DUNLAP: Pressured Stafford all day

GIO, GIO, GIO
Bullock and Boling honorable mention.
RE: Lions Game Game Ball - Shake n Blake - 12-24-2017
This is the 2nd game ball worthy game from Bullock, but I have to give it to Gio.
He has now earned the right to retain the starting gig. Hopefully he can hang on to it and maintain this high level.

Obvious choice is obvious....
Andy Dalton
RE: Lions Game Game Ball - The Caped Crusader - 12-24-2017
Gio for sure. He made the most of pretty solid blocking all day, and found a lot of holes. That, and he had a lot of high effort plays (that pass to the flat that should've been a yard gain, he turned into a first). Game ball for Bernard.

Meh, he wasn't worthy of a game ball, but he wasn't bad overall today. Should've been close to 300 yards if not for an egregious amount of drops.
Had some lame throws/decisions though.

ME! I forgot it was Sunday and watched the Muppet movie instead so OF COURSE they won..
RE: Lions Game Game Ball - jfkbengals - 12-24-2017
I'm curious why you gave the poll more than one possible selection...

Can't believe I am saying this, but Bullock's 14 points is the difference between a win and a 17 - 12 loss.

I guess I'd give it to Gio, but I wish they would've just gone on ahead and lost this one. They did the same thing last year. I fully expect them to go ahead and gut out another hollow win next week while Denver, and Houston move up in the draft.
Who dey?

Lol, I voted for Gio. I thought the
would have shown that I was joking. Maybe my reputation made it believable.

I agree, I've lost all pride in this team the past 2 years. While wishing for a loss seems lame it's understandable with the holes this team has to fill. I was hoping we would just lose out. I get wanting to keep fighting and being professional but what does that get us. Teams give up a lot just to move up a couple spots in the draft, all we had to do was keep losing and we can't even do that. What makes things even more frustrating is the fact that we wait till players are injured and we are out of the race to mix things up on the Oline, and it works out. This team always seems afraid to make any changes till it's too late.

I must say I cannot agree with this mentality and luckily it appears that our players feel the same way. Next week's game would not be a "hollow win". We can be the reason that Suggs, Flacco, Tucker, and others are eliminated from the playoff, just as we eliminated Detroit today.
You and others can root for the Ravens to beat us next week and cruise into the playoffs so we can move up a spot or 2 in the draft. I will definitely be hoping we break our foot off in their hindside.

Gio always give his all.

Because the primary means this team has of improving itself is through the draft. Early picks should mean better players. Today’s win is meaningless, just like next weeks if we win.
When this team starts vigorously pursuing all methods to improve then wins like today won’t matter so much. But signing the desperate retreads desperate for a job after 8 weeks of free agency has gotten us nowhere.
Go Ravens!

But he was the one to hand it to Gio on all those runs.

Gio's the obvious choice, but hats off to Phat Randy. Dude did everything asked of him today.

He played his ass off today.
