                                Bengals are 3 point favorites... 
Carlos Dunlap got AFC Defensive Player of the Week for his performance vs San Diego, when he is healthy along side Geno Atkins I really like this Bengals Defense. Defense needs to take Romo out of the game early & hopfully The Lawfirm can top 100 yards for the 4th Straight Game. AJ Green will break out of his 2 game Non-TD Streak as well... Dan "Boom" Herron has been put on the active roster w/ Peerman hurt.

                                The winner remains well into the playoff race....the loser will not make the playoffs.

                                This is a tough one. Dallas weirdly plays better on the road but I could see the O line collapsing thus making it a long day for Romo. I'll say Bengals by 3.

                                It seems like Brown is a pretty decent kicker.

                                Would have been funny for them to pick Cundiff... just another former Cowboy the Bengals could have added. 
gerb I would have preferred Rackers as well.
As for this game I'll take the Cowboys to win 30-24

                                The facemask on Dunlap was BS.  How many times do they blow that play dead when the QB is clearly not getting out of the grasp of the sacker?  That play is blown dead 90% of the time to AVOID the second defender getting a clear shot at the QB.  This time, they don't blow it and then call a penalty on the secondary defender.
It was the correct call in that he DID grasp the facemask, but all I'd ask is from now on, never blow that dead and allow free shots on a stopped QB all day.
Bengals outplaying Dallas and only up 3. Not liking this one at all...

                        OK, not a face mask, it was a late hit then.Azubuike24;1339089 wrote:The facemask on Dunlap was BS.

                                Oh and they did blow it dead before he took the shot on Romo.

                                It's the right call, that he DID grasp the facemask.  However, if it's properly blown dead, there's a chance the second defender doesn't even pursue as aggressively.
On the other hand, if they just let the play finish (as they should), it would've been a penalty, but it would allow the defense to be a lot more aggressive against the QB.
Just one of those plays that shows how protected the QB's are...no biggie.

                                Not early enough.  It was 2 seconds of completely stopped progress before a whistle.  Once Johnson grabbed him, it should've been stopped there.  Otherwise, let it go until he's completely on the ground.

                                Claiborne will probably thank his teammate later on. Guy came in and drilled him even though Charles was headed out of bounds

                                So the player is allowed to run his mouth to the bench but the coach can't react? Lol.

If you're forced out, which he was, not should be able to be the first to touch it.
