***(Wild Card) PLAYOFF GameDay Thread - Ravens @ Bengals***

[jfkbengals]

Here's to a quick recovery to Jonah.

We're going to need him if we want to play in February.

We won’t face a defence like that again until the super bowl.

This was the hurdle we had to get over I really do think we can beat buffalo.

Exactly 10000000% upvote.  Those boys were EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY luck that ball wasn't caught for a TD.. About an inch away.   In the normal universe Baltimore would have caught that.  Maybe things have finally, after God knows how long, things have shifted for thr Bengals.

Best Bengals D ever these season and last, better enjoy it while it lasts. You probably wont see another Bengals D this good in decades

Bengals can win a shootout, but that Ravens D has shut them down two times in a row.  The Ravens can’t win a Super Bowl with that team beating three good teams in a row, but they can beat any one team.

Well, I mean the Bengals offense sure wasn't looking shoot-out worthy in this game, but hey...I'm legit saying anything short of winning our 1st SB this year is a disappointment, too.

Hubbard better be the only option in the Gameball thread.

Fortunate to get the win but hopefully the O was not that great because of the match up.

Lucky Bengals end up playing in the post season with a bunch of back up O linemen. Even when they try to fix it they can’t catch a break.

[RunKijanaRun]

This franchise under Lewis loses that game every time.

Kudos to Zac, Lou and all of our guys.

Cheers to all of you. Even those who ignored me. Maybe next week we can be friends again.

But Who ***** Dey. Yes sir.

If so can we trade him to their board for a poster to be named later.

Yeah I really felt the Ravens are were the toughest to get by because they have a superior defense that knows the Bengals. Good luck getting some rest.

Hubbard won that game.

[Housh]

So the play where Jamarr busted his ass to get a block for Mixon against the Lions has been my favorite Bengals play the last decade.




The Sam Hubbard 98 yard TD fumble return is my new favorite play of the last decade.



That was insane.

A "miracle" play caused by Pratt holding up Huntley at the line, Wilson stripping the ball, and Hubbard making a heads up play to return it.  Players make plays.
Your constant whining about the "Defense" calling them trash is sad.

I totally agree.  The Ravens defense is what concerned me starting from last weeks win.
