Clock management or lack there of by Miami was unbelievable.  WTH was wrong w them?  They very well should have beaten Cincy.  Damn they played bad.

To come back from 27-0.  The Jaguars weren't as good as the play calling by the Chargers was bad.

Giants and Jones played really well.  Good for them.  I feel bad for Cousins though.  His record for big time games still stinks.

You must have meant that Miami should have beaten the Bills but yeah....who would have guessed that it would have been that close

I absolutely about shit myself last night when Hubbard ran that fumble back. I was bummed that the Ravens had gained momentum and were likely going to get the score advantage. Just an unbelievable circumstance.

And it was not a block in the back....dude barely touched him

And then the whole final series by the Ravens nearly gave me a heart attack. Huntley did very well. No one expected the game to be that close.

Andrews was closing fast….Hubbard either didn’t know or was gassed….if Cincy only gets a FG there, it probably goes to OT.

I was very conflicted…I’ve always hated the ravens, due to the stabby connection but I was rooting for huntley…undrafted FA from utah who I’m sure the jets wish they had, rather than their #2 overall momma’s boy pick from that school down the road.

Huntley was impressive for sure. Their defense kicked ass as well. Not sure why it took so long for our defense to come around but they made it work.

I grew up in OH so I've been a Bengals fan forever. These last few years have been pretty emotional since they have sucked for so long. It's nice seeing them be so competitive again.

If you grew up in Ohio, you should be a Browns fan.  Cincy is just Kentucky.  Although I do appreciate how many Buckeyes are on the Bengals.

I hate both those teams but I was rooting for the Ravens, with the presumption that they would most likely lose the following week. But now I realize that Lamar could have come back the following week and won, which would have sucked.  

Credit goes to the Ravens coaching staff, as usual.  I think Harbaugh gets the most out of his players each week, and they game plan as well as anyone.  He's a top 3 coach (Belichick, Harbaugh, maybe Vrabel/Tomlin).

Yeah a lot of us knew the Vikings stunk (since the Eagles walloped them in MNF Week 2). Let's look at Exhibit 1. They are gifted Justin Jefferson by Howie Rosen outsmarting himself and drafting the dreadful Jalen Reagor ahead of Jefferson in 2020. The Eagles smarten up and just let the guy go (maybe they even got a draft pick for him - who cares). Minnesota goes out and picks the guy up and he was wrecking their offensive game plans, with a lot of responsibility for their being down 33 to the Colts. All you had to do was watch the film to know but they're like "well he's a 'first rounder' let's see how it goes".

And Cousins throws that stupid 3 yard pass on 4th & 8. Yeah you'll get the first down next year dude. He's Sam Bradford - a stats-loaded loser.

Dumb - they deserved to lose.

Yeah he's a great coach.

I grew up in Greenville, OH which isn't too far from Cincinnati. Big Reds/Bengals area.  Nothing against the Browns...they just were never on TV in our market.

being from Ohio means to cheer for a winner,  you look to I-70 east to I-79 North. Steel City......

People growing up in Ohio: you really can't blame them if they became Steelers fans.

If they grew up in eastern OH sure....fucking Cleveland isn't even that far from Pittsburgh. OH is huge.

Yeah you can, it's called fair weather.  Are they Michigan fans too because they had a good run in the 90s?  That's weak.  

And being from Ohio does NOT mean you cheer for a winner.  It means you live in misery 9 months out of the year and stare at the cold, gray sky.  

Mick - are you all in on the Pirates too?  Or are you Steelers, Yankees, Red Wings, Celtics?

Miami didn't play Cincy.

Brain fart, had Cincy on my mind, Bills.  You know what I meant...But that's what you got out of that?

Wait. You are not allowed to block on the fumble return?

Or Cincy fans.
Big Red Machine...and then World Series in 1990.  
Bengals make super bowl in 80s, 90s, and 2020s.

Cleveland had LeBron, gotta give them that.

When I first watched I wondered if they were going to call it or not but Bell hit him from the side and as the Ravens defender Andrews went down Bells hand was on his back.  It wasn't a block in the back.

That Andrews guy was friggin fast too.

Not from the back...lots of discussion on this but it does seem like the block was initiated from the side and he just followed through

I grew up in Ohio and HATED the Browns...of course, I'm so old I remember when the Browns were an NFL powerhouse. I really liked the Bengals when they came on the scene...ken anderson, paul robinson, boobie clark, ickey....

Pirates as a kid.

Little league ball. played 7 years. 5 of which I was on the Pirates. Youth football. Vikings but Black and Gold.

YMCA soccer. spring and fall 7 seasons. Stingers. Black and Gold. MLS Columbus Crew BLACK AND GOLD.

Steelers and me go back to their first SB game against the Cowboys. Older brother is still into The Girls.  Suffered the 80's until Cower turned em back around......

I follow the Blue Jackets somewhat, hometown team and all. Fun to experience live going back to ACHL Columbus Chill.

Where in Ohio?

Had to be Marietta;

The settling of Ohio began in 1788 with the arrival of 48 members of an expedition sponsored by the Ohio Company, who purchased more than one and a half million acres of the Northwest Territory from Congress. They chose what would become the city of Marietta, on the Ohio River, as their first settlement.
