As frustrated as everyone has been over the last several years, Andy deserves a good send off from Cincinnati fans. He came in like a breath of fresh air after Palmer quit. He came in as a rookie and took us to the playoffs and repeated that 4 more times. In his time here he has earned multiple team QB records. Additionally, he chose to make Cincinnati his home. Something his predecessor didn't. He has represented the team well and has helped change the team's thug reputation throughout the league
If you are going to the game, I hope you encourage everyone to show Andy that we have appreciated his time here in Cincinnati
To get back to the OP, yes, Andy did get a nice end-off today. Before the game, as he sometimes does, Andy came over to the sideline and gave Jordan and the kids extended hugs. Then, they posed for pics for the NFL photographers. He lingered there for some time, before finally heading to the tunnel to loud cheers. Then, at game's end, after the Stains' last gasp, when the Bengals came out on the field and Andy genuflected, an "Andy! Andy!" chant rose up for a brief moment.
He got a W, beat a division rival, left the game unscathed, and got a nice reception. Not a bad day for the Red Rifle.
