WHO DEY! NEW DAY!
I LOVE BEING WRONG when this is the question. Let's remember we're all Bengals fans and it's official now - the league is on notice. The Tiger has awakened!

They quickly overrule an iffy incomplete pass call, so Raiders don't have to risk a time out, and then don't overrule an obvious incompletion that was called a catch so the Bengals need to challenge. NY shouldn't be impacting the game that way.

Even knowing it was coming I’m still shocked. And the team being so cool and nonchalant about it is making me a psycho in my house. The good booze is already out and I still can’t celebrate enough. I don’t even remember the last playoff win (I was 5), just the atmosphere. To witness this, fully aware of the meaning… damn. Just… damn.

Didn't miss the Texans trouncing. The offensive failure in Houston a year later. The enormous letdown against the Chargers. The waste of time against the Colts. While I didn't get to live watch the Steelers meltdown, it wasn't fun to read about for sure.
I've had to wait a while for this, but plenty of you have had to wait a lot longer. It's over. Now go get us a Superbowl Burrow. WHO DEY!!
God that Steelers game was my introduction to the Bengals. I remember vaguely watching the 2005 draft having just gotten into college football and watching Georgia Bulldogs games. Cincinnati picked up one of our biggest players and another guy so I elected to be a fan of the bengals (Jesus those 2 didn’t last long, fortunately we continue to draft Bulldogs). Then that damn backup or whoever the F he was come in and destroyed Palmers knee. Feels like we had just went over the cusp where you could really return from a big knee injury. I know it ruined Dante Culpeppers career around that same time.
Just got to my car from the stadium. I think I’m just going to sit here in the quiet for a while. This meant a lot to me.

I think we took some points off the board with some boneheaded playcalling when we had the ball on their 20 and on the 45 to start drives and thought mixon could do it when the choice is between 2 joes lol. so it's a wash lol.
the first thing burrow said on the field post game was we expected to win, our offense didn't finish it off. he's happy but also not happy lol

True, but that play calling almost cost them the game.
