…and don’t forget on Monday Night the Bengals were rolling the Bills hard before the unfortunate cardiac episode.

Definitely. Glad they celebrated the division too. I know the situation sort of 'handed' the clinch to us, but we put in a very impressive season to be in that spot. Wasn't usual circumstances, but the team deserves to enjoy it.

Are you really that out of touch Leon? He’s dancing and posing. Just goofing off.

This coaching staff has earned the benefit of the doubt from me.  They got up early, and the playbook was probably vanilla as hell.  I am sure we will see a different offense next week.  I did kind of wish they would have given Williams and Evans more play as the RBs with an extra OT and just smash them.  Even if it didn't work early in the 2nd half, by the end of the game the Ravens would have been calling No Mas.

Kappa's injury sucks (not knowing the extent of it) because there is no depth behind him.  That middle three was the big difference this year.  Hope Sharping/Carman can step up.

Haven’t done it since 2015.

And with a tough schedule to boot.

Bates was talking about a cool video the night before that Zac showed them. From the movie The Gladiator with their faces imposed. Said it was about finishing

Only Lannister I truly liked was Tyrion.   Made the rest of us short folk proud.   Dude had a sense of justice and lived by his wits.

Loved the Starks!  Especially Arya.   Girl was ice and developed amazing skills.   In fact all the Stark children were awesome.

One of the best story lines in literature/ series.   Shame about all the unnecessary sex scenes.   All could have been accomplished without any of the explicitness.

From the Athletic

Whether coach Zac Taylor expected that from the Ravens or it was purely coincidence, he had his team ready for a fight. During Saturday night’s team meeting, he showed the team a video of the fight scenes from the movie “Gladiator.”

But with a twist.

Team video coordinator Brooks Santanello and intern Tanner McDole superimposed the faces of Bengals players on the actors who were doing the ass-kicking in the scenes. First it would be Jessie Bates delivering the blows, then the face would shift to Vonn Bell or Ja’Marr Chase or any number of other Bengals.

“It was a pretty cool video, talking about finishing the season off the right way,” Bates said.

“It was great,” defensive end Sam Hubbard added. “I actually had watched the extended cut of ‘Gladiator’ during the day Saturday before I came in. That’s my favorite movie. I was a little extra fired up.”

Maybe the hardest thing for a long time Bengals fan to get used to is being a fan of a winning franchise.
It is truly a great time to be a Bengals fan!

Sooooo many amazing characters on that series.  I have not read the books, but was debating.  Obviously, I loved Tyrian, Arya, John, Rob, but I also loved the anti=heroes like Jamie, Bram, Sir Jora, and "my guy" Sir Devos.  Has to be the best series, movie, show, etc. that I have ever seen.
