That loss to the Patriots in week one is coming up huge at the end of the season for Cincinnati.

Yep though I could argue that their loss to the Chargers hurt more. They would've had the H2H tiebreaker.

Our D actually showed up since, didn't you notice?

Historical when has our defense ever done well against them? We've had times of top ten defenses all year only for Chase to get 150 yards receiving and like 3 TDs.

Macdonald was great at keeping them in check, and our defense was never top 10 when we had to play the Bengals but since we got rid of Jackson and Williams NOW it is a top 10 defense

Last season. Their offense only scored 17 in Cincy. The home game was incomplete since Burrow was out for all of the 2nd half.

Penix throws an interception and Washington gets great field position.

On 4th & 2, the Commanders score a Touchdown!

 

[Militant X 1]

Today must be Ravens Quarterbacks day.... Flacco starting for the Colts, Huntley starting for the Dolphins and now Tyrod Taylor in for the Jets who benched Aaron Rodgers.

And on cue, ole FLUCCO threw a pick to end the Colts' playoff hopes.

And on cue, ole FLUCCO threw a pick to end the Colts' playoff hopes.

He's also the only reason they even had a chance, and dealt with WRs dropping crucial passes. And of course a defensive collapse the moment the offense scores.

Must have felt nostalgic for him.

 

[RaineV1]

Darnold is going to have a gigantic payday from one of the QB needy teams. Honestly the Giants wouldn't be a bad choice since he'd have Nabers to throw to.

 

[Nurps]

Are the Bucs outta the offs if ATL wins?

 

[Dom McRaven]

Are the Bucs outta the offs if ATL wins?

I don't think so. Bucs would get in with a win and a Falcons loss.

ooft that release from penix was gross

 

[rossihunter2]

these refs have decided to change the rules on holding this game lol

they've penalised like 3 perfectly executed snatch traps

 

[Dom McRaven]

That would've been a penalty on Stephens for what Chinn did.

Not to mention Marlo

 

[Nurps]

Why isn’t the play immediately blown dead during a holding call?

 

[JO_75]

Commanders win, clinch a Wild Card Spot and the Rams win the NFC West.

 

[Dom McRaven]

I would love to see our pass-catchers do a backwards lateral like that.
