Texans Game Cost Us a Bye - ItsOdellThurman - 12-27-2015
Even with a loss at Denver, that game would've clinched the tiebreaker over New England. Such a shame.

Agreed, **** JJ Watt. Seemed like Hue tried to account for him on every play and tailor every damn play because of him.

A win at denver clinches us a bye Mr Positive.
RE: Texans Game Cost Us a Bye - Whacked - 12-27-2015
WOW. I had no idea. That BLOWS
RE: Texans Game Cost Us a Bye - FuZZ - 12-27-2015
Just win and we have the bye...
RE: Texans Game Cost Us a Bye - bfine32 - 12-27-2015
I think it also matters that they were a common opponent of us and the Pats.

Not going to win them all.. at least we lost to a decent team most likely 9-7 and in the playoffs and not a 5-10 team like Steelers just did.

If we are tied with the Pats we would be tied on conference record, so it goes to Common Opponents.
Pittsburgh: NE Win, Cin Win & Loss
Denver: NE Loss, Cin Win
Houston: NE Win, Cin Loss
Buffalo: NE Win & Win, Cin Win
Means NE are 4-1 and we are 3-2 against common opponents. Therefore NE wins the tiebreaker.
So the Texans and Steelers losses hurt double from that perspective

It took someone from out of the Country to break it down.
I knew the Texans game was costly.
RE: Texans Game Cost Us a Bye - Stonyhands - 12-27-2015
Get the second seed and win our first game and hope NE loses their playoff game = AFC Championship game in Cincinnati.
RE: Texans Game Cost Us a Bye - michaelsean - 12-27-2015
We can still get homefield if we win 2 and Pats lose next week.
RE: Texans Game Cost Us a Bye - BonnieBengal - 12-27-2015
I think you mean it may have cost us the #1 seed. We are still very much in it for the #2 seed and a Bye.
RE: Texans Game Cost Us a Bye - StLucieBengal - 12-27-2015
Pats have trouble in Miami historically. So it's not dead yet.
2 seed will force either the Jets or Steelers to go through New England which both can beat the Pats. We will get ether Chefs, Broncos, or Texans.
So the 2 might be the better match ups pre championship game.

Yup. Clinches a bye and after NE loses at home in rd.2, Bengals have home field for AFCC.
RE: Texans Game Cost Us a Bye - ItsOdellThurman - 12-27-2015
Obviously winning at Denver can do it. My point was, a home game against a lowly Texans team could've gotten it done. Denver is probably going to be the toughest game of the year outside of at Arizona...

Texans actually have been playing well the 2nd half of season.. this is the NFL not a video game.. look at what happen today.. Browns almost defeated Chiefs.. Rams are killing Seahawks.. Ravens sweep Steelers.. Eagles defeated Patriots it is way too hard not to slip up one game.. what makes good teams good is they rarely slip up more than once or twice... and bounce back after a lose.. this is what i take from the Bengals..
RE: Texans Game Cost Us a Bye - BengalB - 12-27-2015
Can't people just appreciate being the AFCN Champs?
The fact that people look for any kind of negative thing to post just irks me....
Life is much better when you appreciate the good and not concentrate on past failures or losses.

Looking forward to at least two trips to The Jungle in January, and hopefully three

Thats the kind of thing that drives me crazy, when we lost that game and the comments from others were "Its not a big deal"
With only 16 game season, every game is a big deal!

Wrong, losses to Houston AND Pittsburgh caused it. Either one being a win would have changed the current situation.
