HavePityPlease Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 Welp, the gaslighting has begun, there was a segment on ESPN where they did the following, basing all of this talk on Zac complaining about getting screwed over: - Agreed the Bengals got the short end of the stick compared to everyone else. That's a good start, right! Maybe we'll have some voices on our side? Nope: - They continue on, saying "well somebody was going to get screwed here..." implying well it just happened to be the Bengals, oh well. Guys, the point Zac is making is that they CHANGED THE RULES to FORCE the Bengals to be screwed INSTEAD of the Ravens! - LIED and said the Bengals were going for the TWO seed, saying "ehhhh that's not as big of a deal" - nooooo if we'd won we'd still have a shot at the ONE seed, hello?!?! - The worst of all, Kimes said that "you'd have a hard time finding anyone who'd argue" that the Ravens DON'T DESERVE THE DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP if they beat us twice. What?!?!?!? Sad shit guys, but I guess it's good that we're used to it? I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's problematic. Our money is refunded - but I did have to re-sell that game through Ticketmaster and the email from the team said that TM will refund and then I will have to reimburse TM.

That bond was only strengthened with team Executive Vice President Katie Blackburn’s message sent to the league on behalf of the team." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a re-sold ticket through Ticketmaster's official site. Haven't gotten any email from them and I can't see my situation is addressed on the FAQ on Bengals.com. Anybody know?

TigerJ@w Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 3 hours ago, tibor75 said: Total bullshit of course, but not a surprise given it's the Bengals. The Bills/Bengals game if both win this weekend and meet in the playoffs should be at Cincinnati or a coin-flip. At Cincinnati would be appropriate since it's basically a continuation of the game that was cancelled. if Bills complains? Tough shit. Media can't say this, because it's insensitive, but THEIR player got hurt. Bengals first team in history to be penalized because of opposing player injury. But it's the Bengals. Ryan Shitzier tries to spear Bengals? Eh. Ju-Ju celebrates by imitating Burfict's injury? Eh. Kimo sweeps the leg? Eh. Brady gets injured on a low hit? BRADY RULE! No low hits on QBs I saw the SCREW JOB coming a MILE AWAY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|BlackJesus| Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 The Bengals basically took mercy on the Bills by not making them play while traumatized ... So the Bills should have forfeited out of appreciation for that. The fact they didn't is a bad look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ@w Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 As to why the league didn't stick to the rules which state that winning percentage is the determining factor in seeding, McKay demurred."I would say it's not necessarily (rules) weren't followed," he said. "We don't capture everything in every rule and every policy manual. Sometimes when you face situations, you have to try to make adjustments." RULES WERE NOT FOLLOWED? The HELL YOU SAY! This scumbag's team is in LAST PLACE and made fun of the OSU Kicker who missed a winning kick against Georgia. He shouldn't even be in this conversation. The NFL has become a JOKE!

They know the consumer will watch no matter how much injustice is done. No matter how transparent it is that they scream player safety when they need to but don’t actually give a damn about the players either. What the NFL has become in regards to American culture, it can do whatever it feels like and it will still get the viewership it needs for continue to not just operate but thrive financially. I think it was Woody Hayes or Bo Schembechler who said “Give them bread and circus…..”.

|High School Harry| Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 I recall when one of the buzz phrases on here was "Protect the Crown". Seems Roger Dodger is making every effort to do just that by screwing the Bengals organization, team and fans to benefit other teams who are in His Favor. Repeating myself but I simply cannot see this happening to a Pittsburgh, Dallas, Tom Brady, Aaron Rogers or Patrick Mahones and the Chiefs.

|High School Harry| Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 Correct me if I'm wrong... if we had lost to Buffalo, wouldn't we actually be in roughly the same or better place than we are now going into Sunday? Beat them and probably see them in the first round of the playoffs here? I don't understand where this neutral stadium stuff comes from. Barring some sort of natural disaster, the only game played in a neutral stadium is the Super Bowl. BTW, the 580 Garage on Walnut Street is not refunding my $20 parking fee.

There is no allowance if we won. And it wasn't our player that got hurt. And we had the lead. And we were at home so the no contest made us lose a home game.

stryker57 Posted January 7, 2023 Report Share Posted January 7, 2023 sadest part of all : “I think on the neutral site situation, basically all three teams going in had a kind of agreed they were okay with that situation. It didn’t mean they were gonna vote for it, but they were okay with it. So that always obviously helps when you make a proposal like that. There was input given by Baltimore, certainly by Cincinnati. And Buffalo (Friday) opened the meeting with just kind of an update on Damar the player and how he’s doing and so forth. They didn’t say much on the proposals, but they were certainly given the opportunity.” oh they kind of agreed , but it didnt mean they would vote for it ... no shit... maybe because they didnt agree with it , .... and buffalo sat and said nothing because it was all positive for them , Hell at least someone in this organization is speaking up for a change.
