And if AJ had not stopped running.

And if the D had held a 14 point lead.

And if burfict had not given them 15 more yds.

Not really?

They were at our 38 with over a minute to go. Still had two timeouts. They were driving down the field on a gassed defense. Who's to say they don't score and then Nugent's kick doesn't even matter?

Hindsight is 20-20. Nugent came up big when we asked him to all season with clutch kicks. Fact.

You're sadly blind to the reality that this team has no nuts and will not win a playoff game for the 5th year in a row.

I can guarantee you that the excuses will flow though.

You're team??? Do you own stock? Maybe you're on the payroll?? Can you explain how they're "your" team???

What truth can we face if we lose the first game of the playoffs again (5 times in a row).

Other teams have taken backup QBs through to the superbowl, is it OK to use that as an excuse.

It seems tough to start again next year and go on another 8-0 run, what's the point? lol.

Yes, they are my team. And you are no longer allowed to watch them or be a fan of them since you are getting the jerseys all wet with your crying.

Three things are guaranteed in life. 

1. Taxes
2. Death
3. Excuses will always be there for a Bengals loss.

Your made up scenario. And both Nugent and McManus would be at 100% for kicking. Yet the Broncos are still at the 38 with two timeouts and over a minute left.

So, really don't see how Nugent's kick automatically gives us the win.

What excuse has been made about this loss?

(12-29-2015, 03:27 AM)bfine32 Wrote: What excuse has been made about this loss?

McCarron.
Hue.
Marvin.
Nugent.
Green.
Run game.
Bodine.

You know. The usual.

Gameday thread is full of them.

We just got beat by a very good opponent on the road.

not much. Gotta go to bed. I'll read this train wreck at work tomorrow and pass some time.

Mike Nugent FG % ranking with Bengals (plus 50+ FG)

2015: 19th (0/1)  *Does not include tonight's game. So made a 50+, but missed another FG.*
2014: 27th (0/3)
2013: 23rd (3/4)
2012: 20th (1/2)
2011: 8th (0/0)
2010: 21st (2/4)

Kickers miss occasionaly, but Nugent has been a perennially sub-par kicker for quite a few years now. With the exception of 2011, he's been terrible. Then Nugent became a FA and they decided to re-sign him over Josh Brown.

Josh Brown FG % ranking since Bengals (plus 50+ FG)

2015: 5th (3/3)
2014: 4th (4/4)
2013: 17th (1/2)

McCarron - We've discussed this
Hue - Some viewed what he did was conservative (which I understand why you'd go conservative in a game like this under the circumstances)
Marvin - Primetime narrative and conservative narrative
Nugent - See this thread
Green - Didn't make that deep ball catch
Run game - Everyone wanted better from Hill
Bodine - Final snap

Think you guys are confusing execution with excuses.

This is Jungle Noise. Every play is a heated discussion.

Plus, not everything I wrote I agree with either.

Better than Shane Graham, thats for sure.

BUMP for another year with a vagina for a placekicker.
