The problem is we have to contend with our own playoff record the last 30 years lol

So the correct outcome happened regardless.

Not only that, but the whistle was blown SO late that the whole thing was ridiculous. And when it was blown, the ball was practically in Boyd’s hands

I pray that Vegas keeps up the mistakes and drops

For a minute I forgot where the Raiders play and thought you were talking about defeating the gambling odds

Bengals have had pretty much every break go their way and still only up 1 score. This is going down to the wire.

I want to see the defense step up this half. Defense steps up we win. We just have to win the next 2 quarters or keep it even.

Or scores a touchdown on those 2 tries in the 10.

I'm really curious what he blew the whistle about. The only thing I can think of is that he thought Burrow was out of bounds, but it was a very delayed whistle for that. No idea.

You might. This team has nothing to do with that.

I'll remain my optimistic, sexy self and predict a pretty easy TD to start off the 2nd half followed by Carr turning the ball over in short order.

I agree, but we're the better team. I think Zac handicapped us a bit with the redzone play calling, otherwise this game might be over lol.

Nice return!

Let’s not play conservative

[reuben.ahmed]

decent runback chris evans

[grampahol]

The phantom whistle doesn't matter. They called it a TD so it's a TD.. Since play has continued since they can't undo it regardless of anyone's opinion on the matter..
Another thing.. Both teams get paid to play the game. The Bengals are doing ok.. Raiders are still in it.
It's still too close to call at this point, but I do believe Joe and company are going to pour it on after the half..

Great block by Adeniji

[*pally*]

that was a good block by Adeniji

[jfkbengals]

Need to get Higgins involved so it ends up being single coverage every play.

[reuben.ahmed]

I'm liking the protection they're giving Joe
