Give it a shot. I have faith in you.

That's good. You're already used to it. It won't hurt as much this time.

Whoopie inside Behar? You're a sick man.

I don't think you get it.

Nothing hurts anymore.

Brave front.

It's better to have tried and failed, than to have never had the opportunity to do either.

Probably. But the best part is we will look back on the good ole days while so many fans of other franchises do the same except dwell on what could have been.

15-3 playoff record…..so far.

Wasn’t rfaulk in here admitting like three weeks ago that Burrow had failed in basically every 4th quarter drive when trying to tie/win this season? Lol

It's pretty bad when the game is on the line, your season is on the line, and your QB commits back to back turnovers at the start of the 4th quarter to completely ruin any chance of coming back. ROFL

That's Matt Cassel stuff.

Is Burrow just a gay version of Cassel with nice hair?

Has something changed that i'm not aware of? Other than him getting the job done in Dallas on Monday night?

Not a damn thing. The Bengals are the same franchise they've always been. Always.

Well, in all fairness, the Cowboys EPICALLY ****ing up that blocked punt helped.

Even Burrow admitted as much in the post game interview.

I think they should STOP talking a lot of shit.

Yeah. That kind of happens from time to time. You still have to make plays.

Everybody gets things done in Dallas, except Dallas. The league is considering changing their name from the Cowboys to the Cumdumpsters

I haven’t really been following this thread but peek in from time to time. Seems like you’ve been ragging on Mahomes’ stats recently.

Wondering why you’d play that card when Burrow has great stats but shrinks in the biggest moments. Mahomes is the opposite of that this season.

The Bengals are a flaming dumpster fire and this Skyline Chili of a thread just keeps on going.

They should replace bengals logo with skyline chili

Ragging? That seems a bit strong. More like a fan from a different team, not sucking up (big surprise, eh?), but pointing out how the GWDs happened this year. All facts, no fluff.

Don't worry though. I did the same for Burrow's failures here an on my mothership. Truth is truth. Doesn't matter where it's stated.

MMmmmmmm. That must mean it's good!

Good thing it wasn’t the fourth quarter a playoff game as we know how Burrow performs in those.

How can they still not be eliminated. League has too many loser teams in it. They have 8 loses for gawds sake.

Could the Broncos lose to the Chargers this weekend, the Bengals the weekend after, and the Chiefs the final week and miss the playoffs?

If the Chargers win this season they likely end up at 11-6 with the head-to-head victory over the Broncos who could, at best, do 11-6 but would likely end up at 9-8. Then it would be up to either the Bengals (who could finish 9-8 but would have the tie-breaker over Denver if they reach that record).

How funny would it be to see the Bengals go into Buffalo and knock out the Bills before coming to Arrowhead and losing before we face the Ravens/Steelers/Texans?

I saw something earlier today that all of the remaining AFC teams in the playoff picture who have yet to clinch, can clinch this weekend.

I’m pretty sure if the Broncos get just one more win, the Bengals have no chance of sneaking in.

LMAO

Doofus.

Immediately thought of this dumb broad...

Our resident bungle fans would off themselves. That's much worse than just missing the playoffs.

7 teams from each conference is too many. 6 was perfect.

Those Monday Wildcard games are worth $1,000,000,000 to the NFL so…..

Yep. Maybe i should write him a letter and tell him to start dinking and dunking his way down the field. Seems to lead to more wins.

Winner of Den/LAC clinches with a win. I think the only way for both Den and LAC to clinch would be for the Bengals, Colts and Dolphins to all lose this weekend.

Bengals can still get in with Den win with 1 more loss each by Miami and Indy and LAC losing out. Much less likely than Den losing out.

I'm sure the Bengals will thread that needle. How much money you betting on it?

Perhaps. It seems to have worked for Brady and now Mahomes. Maybe they will build up enough of a lead in the playoffs that they won’t have to rely on Burrow to lead a game winning TD drive (as history shows he is incapable of).

The NFL won't stop until all the non sports fans get fed up with rising costs of streaming services due to contracts with the NFL and go back to cable!

Ohio is a shitty ugly state full of shitty ugly people. They deserve all of their sports failures.

Zero monies. I only trust them as far as i can throw them. It's a team with a long history of turning down free gifts.

Like, they could go into Pitt, with them resting starters and Denver losing and somehow drop that game.

So if LAC wins one more that eliminates Joe?

No.

Burrow trying to get them to committee Seppuku?

That's pretty cool.

Because he is teh ghey

Yeah, count me in the “that’s pretty ****ing awesome” crowd.

Could do without them being authentic pieces of history, though. Just give me a brand new katana with no history and I’m cool with that.

I could use a good katana.

Get that ****ing elite QB out of the picture with those other 2 neverwas's's'.

Get in here and start huffing the hopium, ****.

You've waited all year for this.

They have one thing in common. They all lose to Mahomes when it counts. ROFL

So are you suggesting we sub out Herbert for Jake Fromm?

Denver has given this joke organization a lifeline, time to see if they take it

GET UP RFAULK 34!

DON'T YOU TURN YOUR BACK ON THIS THREAD!

I WANT YOU POSTING IN HERE WHEN THE CHIEFS KILL YOUR PLAYOFF HOPES!

I WANT TO SEE THE LIGHT LEAVE YOUR EYES!

50% of the time.

Not bad odds.

The Bengals representing Harry Potter in that scene doesn’t bode well

They’re going to wriggle their way into the playoffs against all odds aren’t they?

The Bengals represent Cedric Diggory. Like Burrow, so talented and handsome, but ultimately, just a spare.

https://64.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l...yci4o2_250.gif

Lose the SB 100% of the time

Make up your mind, goalpost mover.

The mind was made up long ago. We're in our villain era. We craft the narrative as we see fit.

Eventually, the villain will lose, as he always does. But we're currently enjoying our reign.

And part of that reign is gloating over you, as a good villain does.

Come and get the Elder Wand you ****ing sissy, if you can. We took it right off Brady's corpse.

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/ha...Elder_Wand.gif

A time I actually agree with Fauker^^^^

I faulking hate when that happens.

Kind of annoying how tolerable he is.

I'm kind of partial to the dancing clown in flip flops gif.

The Bengals had a better record this time last year without burrow than they do this year with burrow.

pathetic LMAO

https://scontent-ord5-2.xx.fbcdn.net...4g&oe=676AE0C6

Lol, good one HP.

But, Burrow played in the first 9 games last year before getting hurt for the season early in the 10th game.

Browning did well for a backup. But, he got smoked by the Squealers twice, got smoked by KC, and then got to face AFCS teams and a 3rd string Cleveland squad at the end for some wins. So, cmon man.

This year been fugly for them though no doubt.
Cue the "So you're telling me there's a chance" meme.
For being dead and buried 3 or 4 times already this season, at least the games are still meaningful for them this late.

Not expecting much, but we'll see how it plays out.

Harry Potter...............................

2024:
Lost to the Steelers, check.
Lost to the Chiefs, check.
Beat up a shitty AFCS team, check.
Beat Cooper Rush for an easy win, check.

Browning's SoV almost has to be higher than Burrow's this season of .225... :)

It would be epic if we get to hand the broncos a win in week 18 resting our starters that knock out the Cinci .

What kind of Chiefs fan are you, cheering for a Donks vicotry over the Chiefs?

Clay will be along any minute now to straighten you out.

The streak is dead, but my hate for that team will never waiver. You are correct Sir.

Yeah 2024 has sucked. Not all on Burrow as the defense has been atrocious most of the year. Burrows numbers are excellent, although he shoulders blame too as he hasn't come through in critical moments this year as rfaulk listed out.

Didn’t he have a critical INT against the Ravens that cost them a game?

I don’t think this is as crazy as it seems.

Serious rivalry brewing with Clayster and Fauker

It’s actually quite possible depending on how well KC does Saturday and on Christmas.

Yes.

I have no faith in Indy going 3-0. I think they’re terrible.

I also have no faith in Miami to win two games in a row in cold weather environments.

If KC wins the next two, then it will be Denver. But, if they don’t it could very well be cinci as the 7th seed

Yeah he had one fairly late in the game when the Bengals had a lead and were driving to try and put the game away. Good play by Humphries to jump a slant in front of Chase, but still.
Bengals still had the chance to win that game but botched the FG attempt in OT.

It's quite possible, but never underestimate Cincy's ability to Bungle a golden chance. Gotta get past Cleveland this week to make next week's game vs Den be a big one for them.

Cleveland is a thorn in Cincy's side for sure.

Yup. It’s why I mentioned Saturday and Christmas. KC wins them and they have the #1 seed locked up. It could be earlier depending on Buffalo. If KC wins both of their games they probably rest a lot of starters and Denver could win which ends Cincy’s chances.
