AFC Wildcard Game: Colts vs Bengals (1 Viewer)

[CR69]

Incredible play by Luck, he could hit 500 yards today

 

[flapgreen]

Dalton never changes

 

[rockaction]

Wow, I wonder what I could've done with the thirteen bucks I spent on Hilton vs. Moncrief in the subscriber competition. Almost did it and picked up Tucker for the eleven bucks. Dang.

[The_Man]

Cincy finally abandoned their core "bend but don't break" strategy with the blitz, and they got broken.

Changing who you are in the playoffs is a recipe for defeat - Marvin now looking at an 0-6 career playoff mark. Pick-6 for Indy coming up next once Cincy abandons the run

 

[rockaction]

Flea flicker almost worked?

 

[jurb26]

Giving up on the run game is a kiss of death for Cinci.

 

[CR69]

More screens to Gio please

 

[The_Man]

Luck vs. Manning, and the Ravens vs. the Pats are a couple of kick ### match-ups.

Divisional Playoff Weekend is my favorite sporting weekend of the year.

 

[rockaction]

This is becoming Captain Checkdown.

 

[The_Man]

Man, the Bengals seems to whine and complain a lot. LOL at Pac Man claiming offensive pass interference

 

[CR69]

At least he tried to scrip the ball

 

[jurb26]

Jones was a fraction away from picking that off.

 

[BobbyLayne]

T.Y. again with the drop

 

[rockaction]

Is there anything in the stadium that won't hit T.Y. Hilton's hands and bounce off today?

 

[jurb26]

Nice stand. Cinci needed that bad.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Good job there by Cinci D

Have to respond with a TD now

 

[CR69]

Lots of tangled feet on deep passes this weekend

 

[Raider Nation]

Matthew Berry... always ahead of the curve.

Donte Moncrief, officially a 2015 fantasy football sleeper.

 

[Raider Nation]

Watch out for Aaron Rodgers next season, folks!

 

[CR69]

Did they say Hill got hurt?

It's the new market inefficiency.

That's a little ridiculous... but I'm sure we'll see him say the same of Cody Latimer and/or Paul Richardson. I expect one of them to have a big game this playoff series. Which will upset me as they're already on my big list of sleepers for next season. I'm sure one of them will breakout though and ruin any chances of getting them as a late round(10+) flier.

Yep

Not incredibly efficient, that's for sure. Maybe next week brings brighter returns. Excited for the Lions yet?

Trying to stay busy. Taking the Xmas tree down.

Winnable game but they're a big dog for good reason. Stafford needs to shed his demons and break the streak in his hometown.

 

[RBM]

My God this game is awful

 

[Khy]

Really don't know how Lewis keeps his job.

We're in a league where only a few coaches are able to have their teams be consistent playoff contenders. Lewis happens to be one of those coaches. It's essentially the Andy Reid effect. Do the Bengals really want to fire a coach keeping the team competitive and go back to the team they were pre-Marvin Lewis? In case you're curious, they were 2-14, 6-10, 4-12, 4-12 and 3-13 in the 5 seasons prior to Lewis coming on in 2003. Since then they've only had 3 losing seasons. And the last few seasons they've gone 10-6, 11-5, 10-5-1 this season. They could just as easily fire Lewis and go back to having losing seasons every year for the next decade. But in the end, the NFL is a business and the Bengals always being playoff contenders keeps the money flowing. They're not the Browns the team simply can't survive with 4-12 seasons for long before fans stop showing up.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Wayne is done.

Nice to see Tipton get some work.

 

[monessen]

T-Rich is tearing it up out there. Or tearing up. Inactive? Still in NFL?

 

[CR69]

My God this game is awful

3/3 so far this weekend.

 

[BobbyLayne]

No NFL franchise (or starting QB) has gone four straight years of one and done.

 

[Johnny Bing]

Really don't know how Lewis keeps his job.

Dysfunctional ownership

Take the starting WR, starting TE, and starting LB and see how any team does. I wouldn't put all the blame on Lewis.

Going into the game and about 3 minutes in they lost some key players.

 

[The General]

Andy Dalton bums me out and I couldn't care less about the Bengals. Guy has the charisma of a lamp.

Or they could hire a much better coach.

With the talent they've had they should have done much better than 4 one-and-dones.

And for that reason the dysfunctional ownership will keep a guy on for his 12th season as Head Coach when he's only been to the playoffs in 6 of those 12 years and lost every playoff game he's played in... it's sad really.

4 in a row... 6 total now under Lewis. He's yet to win a playoff game since taking over in 2003. How he keeps his job is beyond me.

Not easy to win playoff games without a big time qb.

Simms on cue. Hilarious.

Andy Dalton is every bit as competent on as Eli Manning, Joe Flacco and many many others over the years. At least in terms of regular season statistics. It's coaching and nothing else. Marvin Lewis has zero idea how to scheme for the playoffs and every year he seems to play against a team that just out coaches him.

 

[Khy]

Actually let me rephrase that even better...

If:

TJ Yates

Tim Tebow

Matt Schaub

Mark Sanchez

Jay Cutler

Michael Vick

Alex Smith

etc.

can win a playoff game... then Andy Dalton can win a playoff game.

Shtick right?

Reg season stats mean nothing in the playoffs.

Well not having AJ Green and Graham really hurt their chances as well. They had a couple deep balls today and you think AJ Green gets one of those to keep the game closer or even take the lead in the 3rd quarter.

Should be interesting if they part ways with Lewis this offseason as you can waste all of Daltons years going 1 and out.

Oh they don't? That's funny... here I was thinking they did considering everyone talks about how awful Eli Manning and Joe Flacco are EVERY SINGLE SEASON and then called them "lucky" when they break records in the playoffs. But whatever, carry on.

So you expected the future bengals coach to have won this game today without Green, Gresham, and Monaluga?

Let's not forget the Colts beat them in regular season week seven 27-0.

Why is it always the coaches fault. What ever happened to their players executed more than ours? Or just the colts are a better team?
