Yup, I'll go ahead and throw it out there. Go Phins  :andy:

I hope it's 35 - 0 at the half so I can quit sweating. Because you know we can't muster more than a FG in 2nd half.

Cincinnati has the first pick in the draft already and I never ever cheer against the Bengals no matter what. 2-14 or 3-13 is better than 1-15.

I understand where Pat5775 is coming from, though, and he’s among my favorite posters. The first pick in the draft is significant but, should the Bengals get it, I would hope Mike Brown would at least try to trade it for additional picks. The Bengals are in dire need of a great draft.

Dolphins or Giants still have a chance for the first pic.  I'm not saying I want them to lose but it's not a lock.

I can’t root against the Bengals during the game, but we need the first pick, and we certainly can’t count on the Browns next week nor do I want to root for them.

And how isn’t this CBS’ premier 1:00 game? LOL

3-13 could leave us picking 4th.  We have the strongest strength of schedule among the bad teams.  Can't get complacent 

Lions, Giants, Redskins, Dolphins are all at 3 wins. Giants and Redskins play each other today so one of them will be out

Welcome to the suck_o_matic game of the century.. How many games do you see where both sides stand more to gain by losing than winning? 
It's a hell.of a problem. The players probably want to put their best feet forward just to keep their jobs and keep making NFL money and I really hate to say it, but they don't care as much as fans about getting the first pick since it more often than not means losing their jobs. If you grew up a fan of another team, maybe even your opponent why would you want to throw the game for a team that may or may not even keep you on their roster?

1 more loss is all we need to solidify this. Go on and get it over with.

I think the Lions have a tie so they would be out of it.

Yes, worst case scenario the Bengals pick 3rd. If the Bengals win out it probably will be 3rd as Miami plays NE and the Giants/Washington plays Philly/Dallas. A Dallas win today clinches the division which would make the final week meaningless for both. So, rooting for Dallas here.

Either the Giants or Redskins will have at least 4 wins.  They play each other today

The miuch anticipated loser (toilet) bowl 2019 game. We sucked all year, now is not the time to win. Lose or tie and win something for 2019, the 2020 number one draft position, not just for round 1, but all rounds.

If we don't score, best we can do is a tie Ninja Ninja Ninja

I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
