posted by Commander of AwesomeWhen franchises are consistently bad, I generally look to the owner/ownership first. Bills, lolphins, Bengals, Browns, Jets, Bears, and Lions.
That is the Lion's owner. She's been the owner (well her husband included) since 1963. Buck stops there.
Jets ownership is bad, Woody Johnson is a doofus. But, being a tax payer in Hamilton County, Mike Brown is the absolute worst.
posted by Ironman92How many more years of Brown being a cheapskate before the franchise might have to move? I do t know how that stuff works at all but that stadium was empty and most NFL people I associate with in daily life are Bengals fans.....they mostly aren’t even interested. Completely fed up.
This sums up just about everyone I know.

You're right he did. But that was also one of the better teams they had in some time. Defense, O-line, receivers were all playing well. I think they were 7-1 at one point before Dalton hurt his thumb(?) in the Pittsburgh game and the season went downhill after that. When everything else around him is good, Dalton can be good. But he's never just going to be exceptional and go and win you the game himself. I think essentially he goes as the team goes.
Dan Fouts
”the big question is if he gets all the way into the end zone before his knee touches down”
Uh.....ball just needs to cross the plane and it also wasn’t even close
The Jets haven't scored an opening drive TD in 24 games. The next longest streak is 9 games. Woof.
I’m just old enough to remember when I started watching NFL as a kid....Dan Fouts was elite, but damnit he says some of the dumbest things while commentating. It’s like he’s watching replay on a 1/2 inch teleprompter that has a fuzzy picture
Saquon Barkley ....serious air
Cole Beasley. Holy fuck.

posted by Ironman92I’ll call hot take.
They weren’t good but definitely not the worst.
Steelers the energy of a .500 team that doesn’t much careone way or the other
Bengals receiver just came down weird on his wrist/arm....looks bad
The fuck? Bengals receiver down with bad injury, quivering and writhing in pain and teammates down on knee, Steelers players patting him on side....Marvin Lewis laughing with official on sideline
Steve Tasker just reported they put his elbow back into socket...puke
Ben thought he had a free play but no call (not sure they crossed line) and pick 6 for Bengals LB who ran it back 50 yards vs about 3 offensive players for Pittsburgh
We’re seeing AB’s value
Just before half
Steelers and Bengals both 101 yards offense....Steelers down 10
NFC interesting as Vikings only down 3....Eagles rolling. Vikings win and they are in and Eagles out. I think every NFC playoff team fan wants the Vikings to win
Steelers play calling putting the marbles on the new kicker and the Steelers defense
Shit fire that has worked great all fucking year

Bengals offense was so bad it didn't matter.

I thought Driskell (sp) would scramble more
#24 Sensabaugh, first two plays he made the entire season
9 wins got you in the play-offs in the NFC, while in the AFC 9.5 won't!
Colts in firm control of the last play-off slot after 1/3 of the game.
Lol nice play Mr. punt returner
Why the hell hasnt Marvin been fired yet
3rd and 18, they call an iffy DPI on Tennessee. Luck then punishes with a TD. Brutal for Tennessee.
