Holy shit it was from when WE did it!! Remember when what's his name got hurt and we had to have a backup snapper against the Stealers?: 1 Quote

A lot of fans are going to be emotional and this is a place to vent. Let it go, especially today. Give folks a night to sleep on it. Watch some baseball. No point tearing into each other. Not horrible loss. Just some mistakes at end but that was one entertaining game even though Bengals lost. Bengals have elite offense and can play with any team. They will start winning next week against giants and against the stains 1 1 Quote

I don't know I dont think Zack would throw Joe under the bus and lie, that would be the quickest way to lose your QB and then in turn your team. 1 Quote

I just went on an 11 mile bike 🚴 ride in 15-20 mph winds to blow off some steam. Didn’t work. Still pissed off. 😤 So now I’m having an adult beverage on my front porch and watching a nice sunset. 3 2 Quote

The fact that so many don’t understand that they just witnessed one of the most ghastly examples of football idiocy - ever - makes me feel better. A little. People that bloody football-stupid don’t deserve to watch a winner. And hitching their sub-75 IQ to this wagon is the perfect marriage. Sports media from all over the country are in disbelief at Taylor. People with no vested interest in this game. We deserve it. Fans in Hamilton County have subsidized one of the biggest war criminals in history in Mike Brown for decades. Bungle fans continue to buy merchandise and pay for the privilege to watch this dreck. It shouldn’t be surprising that most of our fans watch this crap like they just received a botched lobotomy. Relax dude If you don't like the team go ahead on 1 Quote

KA14_HOF Posted October 6 Report Posted October 6 37 minutes ago, Jupiter Fan said: Zac took the ball out of Burrow's hands on the OT drive after fumble, I don't agree with that strategy. Non the less, I've searched the rules on OT and can't find the answer if you can kick the FG on third down in OT? Could he have licked on third, covered the fumble and tried a bit longer on 4th? That was always a choice in regulation time. With a rookie holder, I was surprised they didn't kick on 3rd down since they were clearly not interested in advancing the ball further. Totally legal, but strategically unrealistic, IMO. Teams mostly use that strategy for chip shot FG attempts. In this situation, the contingency plan against the snap/hold going awry involved turning a 53-yard atempt into a 60-yard attempt. Not optimal odds. 1 Quote

In this situation, the contingency plan against the snap/hold going awry involved turning a 53-yard atempt into a 60-yard attempt. Not optimal odds. This is a fair observation, but the important caveat in Jupiter's original post is that they were "clearly not interested in advancing the ball further". IF the third down run was ONLY a ball-positioning run (which it seemed to be), then it's fair to argue they could have just kicked it instead. Remember, if the (highly unlikely) scenario actually happens where they botch it "enough" and have the state of mind to actually jump on it and retain the ball for fourth down, they always have the option of punting it. With all of that said actually faulting Taylor for not doing this isn't very reasonable because he had confidence in his kicker which he had every right to be. The annoying juxtaposition is how seemingly unconfidently he chose to approach the earlier potential game-winning scenarios when Joe had the ball. 1 Quote

texbengal Posted October 7 Report Posted October 7 I guess for me it comes down to two things: 1. big time players make big time plays in big time moments. And in this one, when it mattered most at the end of the game, guys like Nnamdi Madubuike, King Henry and Justin Tucker - made them for Baltimore. Bengals’ guys didn’t make the plays to close it out. And It’s been a constant theme for the last few years. 2. more games are lost than won. Bengals played great on offense for the most part, but didn’t do it at the end of the game, then got an absolute gift - and played not to lose. The ST gaffe, obviously. they should be 3-2 at this point, having played two of the AFC’s best to a stand-off (if not outplaying them). Sucks, but you are your record, and they have to swallow that and get better. I’d like to believe this season is salvageable but with this defense, from my vantage point there is not a lot to be optimistic about. They are just atrocious and are clearly overmatched at certain spots. 1 Quote
Catfish Bob Posted October 7 Report Posted October 7 Wow. I completely missed the game today. Looking at the box score it must've been a hell of a game. Burrow 5 TD's! holy smokes Quote

I've seen 3rd down kick attempts in games within a kicker's range when the snapper, holder or kicker has any doubt or in bad weather many times. This last decision is on Zak not making a smart choice. 1 Quote
