Absolutely

That said, I'LL TAKE IT!

Lol the ref shouldn't have blown the whistle....so everything ended up they way it should have. One **** up cancelled out the other **** up

Well we have a lead at halftime. Hopefully we can open the 2nd half with a scoring drive.

This is the playoffs - in order to be worth the $$$ they have to close the deal on EVERY offensive series. 

Enjoy Tony Dungy and his bengal hate at haltime

Annoying that our 2nd TD will be talked about if we win. Whatever the rule is there is no way that whistle affect the catch. Would've been an absolute hose to have taken that off the board.

I'm hoping that TD won't even matter, Burrow is still on fire (even though Zac keeps taking the ball out of his hand and giving it to Mixon in situations Mixon can't do much with).

Bengals have dominated but are only up by 7.

In situations where the safety is in conflict you force the longer developing route and trust your defensive line to get home. 

Defensive line needs to get off blocks.

That whistle did not impact the play as the ball was already on its way to Boyd with no one near him. That’s why they corrected it because it was stupid to begin with.

Tony Dungy would be bagging my groceries at walmart if Peyton Manning wasnt born

Couldn’t help myself, had to check in at halftime.

Did you watch the first part of this season? Defense is reason we are in the playoffs.

As for everyone else who is complaining right now. Offense had one less possession than the Raiders and we are still up by 7 points and get the ball at half. Offense has scored every real possession they’ve had the ball. I know facts and a reasonable point of view have no place in the GD thread so I’ll see myself back out.

Try to enjoy our first playoff win guys! Life is a lot more fun when you enjoy the good things!

those missed TD opportubities may haunt us later ..on flip side...watching Burrow instead of Dalton in aplayoff game is like night and day
lets keep the pressure on in 2nd half and its a W

man we need to improve our run game, 2.8 YPC might be good enough for the raiders lol, I hope.

Scary isn’t it?

Seriously, any of these goofs on this network who don't know any better than to say "Bangles" should not have a job talking football. That is ridiculous and embarrassing!

Lol the Bengals have scored on EVERY possession in the first half and are only up by 7???

The whistle is already the story of the game...

I'm scared

Still not the biggest fan of Apple, no matter how many people get on me about it. He isn't a dumpster fire, but for sure my least favorite on the defense.
