Hopefully that doesn't interfere with OSU's 2nd playoff game...

Two thoughts.

1)Who cares

2) WEDNESDAY, JAN. 1

Sugar Bowl: No. 2 Georgia vs. Notre Dame/Indiana winner, 8:45 p.m. (ESPN)
Peach Bowl: No. 4 Arizona State vs. Texas/Clemson winner, 1 p.m. (ESPN)
Rose Bowl: No. 1 Oregon vs. Ohio State/Tennessee winner, 5 p.m. (ESPN)

It's hard to get excited about a game two weeks out when so many other dominoes need to fall.

I'd love for this game to matter since it'll be a fun one to watch with the locals.

If we beat Cleveland and Denver lose to the Chargers, then our game with Denver will have PO implications for both teams. 

If Denver beats LAC, then we are still alive, but the Chargers would have to lose out. Very unlikely. 

The Miami/Indy scenarios only involve 1 loss, so that can stay alive until the final week. 

I'd love to go if the dominos fall our way and it has a lot of meaning!

Regardless, Chase will likely still be in the hunt for the triple crown, so that would be fun to watch.

Like it even matters. The Bengals will ALWAYS be at a dis-advantage in this previously arranged Circus NFL because they do not have a front office that understands today's NFL, they don't know how to draft well, refuse to pay and keep elite players, don't know how to develop players that could become better than average players, refuse to hire coaches that could fix things, let their players act like low IQ drug induced zombies after they make one decent play.

They not only have to overcome all the above but they have to outplay the umpire crews that obviously have "instructions" when calling a Bengals game. How many uncalled facemask penalties will Burrow get before season end? I count 3 in the last 3 games alone not counting the late hits after he gets a pass off. Any other QB in this league gets those obvious calls but surprisingly Burrow does not. Looks kinda funny to me. The last drive in Titans game a ref was within 5 yds of the facemask on JB and no flag. He could not possibly have missed it. Don't tell me these refs are that bad, they are but they have been given "instructions" from upstairs.

Bills-Lions would be a good SB but I just bet somehow the Chiefs-Eagles will be the choice from the front office in NY.   I mean c'mon they have to keep State Farm/Kelce/Swifty/Mahommes happy and all.

If we get in I want the Big Bad Bills in round 1 Chiefs in Round 2 Ravens Round 3 Eagles Round 4. I want the toughest possible scenario for the miracle to mean the most

Luckily, Broncos and Chargers play each other this week, so one is guaranteed to lose.
If Bengals lose to Browns though, playoffs gone so this Broncos game won't matter.

If there's a story behind that I think we need to hear it

What channel? CBS? Fox? ABC? I sure hope it's not the NFL Network or I'm going pirate stream. I may need to know some good sites if that's the case. Anyone got any?

Yes. I rarely miss NFL games on tv. So now, she will give up a Saturday and a Sunday.

zorry, it is NFL Network

How about we wait till tomorrow night after the Broncos game? If Denver loses then our Denver game assumes new meaning.

NFL Network? I think I got every station that games are played on but that one. I got Peackock/NBC, Prime, Dish TV for ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, and ESPN. Oh, for the good old days when you didn't need to be rich to watch the NFL.

I'm gonna need to be a pirate.

Opposite for me.  Wife's birthday is that Sunday.  Now I don't have to decide between pissed off wife and not attending the last home game.

I don't have NFL Network, espn or Peacock, so when games are on these stations that I want to watch it makes me mad.

Thankfully my Mom bought me gamepass for a while so I can watch games afterwards, but by then I am spoiled by the scores, the down side.

I don't do those pirate streams, they about messed up my computer once with viruses.
