Yikes. Buffalo’s D is awful
January 22nd, 2023 at 3:28 PM ^
Two wide open touchdowns. Fire somebody! #amidoingthisrite?
January 22nd, 2023 at 3:30 PM ^
Your fault, jmo. Suggest you hack some emails and get your resume polished…
January 22nd, 2023 at 4:17 PM ^
lol Better a hacked email and some nice words on his way out... than the previous guy trying to light things on fire on his way down to South Beach.

Borges.
Always Borges.
January 22nd, 2023 at 4:16 PM ^
Pretty sure I'm getting soft in my older age, but Borges is a great example. I'm positive I was a member of the 36 yards on 36 carries burning pitchfork mob demanding the head of Al Borges. But I watch his videos with Sam and I think this is truly a really nice guy. And you listen to him talk about his time and he cared to do well. Tried his hardest. Was treated pretty poorly by people in the aftermath. And still came back to a program that he didn't owe anything, but seems to now have a life-long tie to.
There's obviously some dissonance here. People who have jobs need to be responsible for their work. Its not enough to just try or be nice. B. ut I would never consider saying something mean to Al Borges if I ran into him at Target
January 22nd, 2023 at 4:52 PM ^
I ran into Borges at the WTKA tailgate before the PSU game. I said hello to him and then we started talking football like one of guys. He was so cool and never big timed me. I thought that was really cool! We talked for 10 mins or so, he has more football knowledge in his pinky nail than my entire body.
January 22nd, 2023 at 5:01 PM ^
Very nice story. Glad to know Gorgeous Al Borges is the way he sounds on the radio in person.
January 22nd, 2023 at 3:29 PM ^
Time to lay money on Buffalo if you're still optmistic!
January 22nd, 2023 at 3:36 PM ^
Josh Allen - time to channel your inner Frank Reich
January 22nd, 2023 at 3:39 PM ^
Cincy rush is getting home nearly every play
January 22nd, 2023 at 3:40 PM ^
I am so glad Joe B did not stay at OSU as this guy is my fav player in the NFL at this point with swag and results to support it.
Recently asked what the Super Bowl window is for the Bengals he answered "my career" (I am paraphrasing)
Josh Allen better get off his ass.
January 22nd, 2023 at 4:12 PM ^
It doesn’t help that Burrow still self-identifies as a Buckeye though.
January 23rd, 2023 at 12:37 AM ^
What else would one expect? He was born and raised in Ohio and now works and plays in the Buckeye state.
I don't think he has any choice but to identify as a Buckeye.
January 22nd, 2023 at 3:42 PM ^
Burrow is the best QB in the NFL. He will solidify it next week beating Mahomes again.
January 22nd, 2023 at 3:45 PM ^
I believe you meant Mahoes.
January 22nd, 2023 at 4:00 PM ^

KC needs to play Henne if they want to stand a chance
January 22nd, 2023 at 3:46 PM ^
Playoffs? Are you kidding me?

The weather for this game is beautiful. Give me college bowl games outdoors in the northern US! Who doesn’t think this is awesome?
January 22nd, 2023 at 3:52 PM ^
OSU circa November 27, 2021
January 22nd, 2023 at 4:58 PM ^
Not just then. Gene Smith said that all playoff games in the North should be played in domes. The height of cringe.
January 22nd, 2023 at 10:59 PM ^
Was he talking about the Dr Pepper Playoffs? Because that would be ceding what should be a meaningful advantage in the north. The southrons drag us down to play in their sweltering bog lands. Make them see how they fare when their balls are frozen.
if I didn’t know better, and I don’t, I might think the man has no sense, or is a traitor
January 22nd, 2023 at 5:59 PM ^
I just got the flu from reading this post.
January 22nd, 2023 at 3:57 PM ^
The Bills really miss Von Miller on the pass rush
January 22nd, 2023 at 4:09 PM ^
Replay is lame.
January 22nd, 2023 at 4:11 PM ^
I'm really sick of TDs getting negated because UPON FURTHER REVIEW the ball jiggled.
January 22nd, 2023 at 4:29 PM ^
TRUTH
January 22nd, 2023 at 5:00 PM ^
Great one hand stab/catch there, especially in the snow o
January 22nd, 2023 at 5:14 PM ^
Delay of game should be reviewable like 12 men on the field is.
January 22nd, 2023 at 5:17 PM ^
Tony Romo sucks....
"That's a game-saving play"
Even if he doesn't make that play and even if the guy catches that ball and even if he scores a TD on that play......the Bengals are still up by 7 with the ball.
January 22nd, 2023 at 5:18 PM ^
Wait…is the NFL actually playing a game while snow is falling? I thought this was going to be prohibited if a certain college AD, Coach, QB, and team had their way.
January 22nd, 2023 at 5:23 PM ^
Early leads in bad weather games are uber valuable. With this lead Cinci can just keep rolling downhill.
January 22nd, 2023 at 5:25 PM ^
Hate the NFL pass interference rule. Yes, he might have caught that if not interfered with, but we can't be sure about that, especially in this weather. But they gain as many yards as if he did make the catch.
15 yards is enough.
January 22nd, 2023 at 5:25 PM ^
PI. That should do it as they've got first and goal up 14. They won't, but you could almost take 3 knees and kick it to go up 3 scores, bleed 2 minutes, and set up a gimmie FG even in the snow.
January 22nd, 2023 at 5:29 PM ^
Probably won't matter, but snapping the ball with :11 on the play clock a big no-no....and then throwing an incomplete pass? That's just all bad
January 22nd, 2023 at 5:30 PM ^
I’m really only rooting for KC and Dallas to lose, otherwise not necessarily rooting for a particular team. Would be cool to see Cincinnati finally do it.
January 22nd, 2023 at 5:32 PM ^
I'm in agreement with both of these. As a native Californian (still Lions fan) I'm a bit of a 49ers fan and hope they take the whole thing.
I've got a ticket to the Super Bowl so I'd prefer not to see Buffalo as I already saw them this year (Lions season ticket holder) but I also am kind of tired of KC.
SF-CIN Super Bowl is the ideal option for me.
January 22nd, 2023 at 5:33 PM ^
Rooting for the bills, very mildly, but I’d say 27-10 and this game is over
January 22nd, 2023 at 5:36 PM ^
I'm probably going to hell, but I don't mind the Bengals despite playing in the worst state ever.
January 22nd, 2023 at 5:50 PM ^
I mean it’s basically Kentucky lite since it’s right on the border. Haha
January 22nd, 2023 at 5:51 PM ^
all it takes is repentance...
January 22nd, 2023 at 5:53 PM ^
It’s ok Cincinnati folks seem to dislike OSU quite a bit
January 22nd, 2023 at 5:48 PM ^
Pretty crazy how Art Modell was the bain of Cleveland & reason for Cincinatti being founded. And yet only his Ravens have won a Super Bowl. Still pulling for my Chiefs, but I'm just happy for a Bengals rematch. And whoever wins out of the AFC should be favored - but I'd like another Niners rematch if the Bengals make it. Then all 3 SB's they've played would be against the Niners.
January 22nd, 2023 at 6:13 PM ^
No they played the Rams in the Super Bowl last season.
January 22nd, 2023 at 6:15 PM ^
Wikifail on my part UM Indy!

"It looks like the ball was moving forward, but it looks like it might be a fumble"
Just shut up Tony Romo. It's one or the other. Not both.
January 22nd, 2023 at 5:40 PM ^
Good god that ball was not moving forward. That's a fumble.
