#Bengals coach Zac Taylor said there seemed to be a lot of positives for other teams and only negatives for them with the league’s playoff proposal

"It was awesome. They've got this team's back. Someone's got to fight for you. Clearly not the league." Zac Taylor on Katie Blackburn's memo to league opposing the playoff scenario proposal. #Bengals

We had the lead, momentum, and the energy of the home crowd behind us....  I realize no guarantees, but odds were absolutely in our favor for the win.  

To me, it was finish it week 19, or come up with a solution where Bengals-Bills is at worst at a neutral site, at best back at Bengals...  In no world does it make sense the Bengals get "punished" for a no contest game they were leading at home in front of that atmosphere.  You'll never convince me odds weren't at least in their favor of winning without that terrible accident.

So glad to hear Damar is improving, and continued prayers for a full and speedy recovery.  That is absolutely the most important thing.  But from a pure football perspective, I feel the Bengals have come out on the very short end of the stick.....  So disappointing.  The window of opportunity for this particular group won't last for ever.

my grandfather always told me how Paul Brown and Al Davis were always thorns in the league's sides
