Ever played a great football game and then went to the film session with the coaches the next day? There are always mistakes to be picked apart. Dalton had zero rush game and a weak O-line. Yet he still posted a 124 passer rating. Dalton did miss some plays, but if Romo (or any good coach) wanted to they could find bad plays by even the best QBs every game. So what? It didn't result in a win and that rating was almost completely bolstered by his play in the first half. The Bengals and Dalton have a troubling history of not closing out games. The San Diego playoff game comes to mind, The second half of that game was a travesty, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since 2011 the Bengals have a .720 winning percentage in games where they have held the lead at some point. That is 7th best in the league. Not the best in the leagu, but better than an overwhelming majority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference is, the rodgers and brady's of the world overshadow those bad ones with heaps of great plays.... and playoff victories.....and super bowl championships. Again, it is anyone's right to stick up for Dalton, but we just cant act like he is on the same stratosphere as those other quarterbacks. They have played their way into the spotlight and deserve to have their balls gargled by the media. Not understanding that, in my opinion, is just jealousy....and jealousy will poison ya. I have never tried to claim Dalton was a top 5 QB. But I guarantee you that during film sessions coaches find mistakes made by even the best QBs in the game.

BY stating that the Bengals have a .720 winning percentage in games where they held the lead I am acknowledging that they have not won 100% of the games where they held a lead. My point was that EVERY team in the league loses some games where they held the lead at some point. So if you are arguing that the Bengals "have a history" of doing it then you have to admit that every other team in the league "has a history" of it also.

I would say the all-dressed chips and the fact they're not locked up for life after their 3rd minor weed offense place it distinctly in Canada.

Well, according to Wikipedia, they're the world's largest exporter of Christmas Trees.The Mi'kmaq people inhabited Nova Scotia at the time the first European colonists arrived. Neat. At one point they considered joining America as a 14th colony in the American revolution. I did not know that. They changed their mind after American privateer ships kept robbing and raiding them and later were one of the more enthusiastic participants in the war of 1812. Sucks to hear about the collapse of the cod stocks. Poor bastards. What in the hell is a "blueberry grunt"? http://allrecipes.com/recipe/73951/cape-breton-blueberry-grunt/ Oh, that looks good. Cool, I now know a lot more about Nova Scotia. Thanks for inspiring me to look stuff up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostInDaJungle Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Wow. This show is hilarious. Like... On a whole 'nother level. It's dumb, it's smart, the wordplay and rhythm between these two guys is outstanding. I found this episode on Vimeo and I'm already loving the "400% Bullshit up in here"... Dude, thank you! Everyone has their own quirky sense of humor, and this show is perfect for mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
