I’ve haven’t paid much attention to them. I figured they were like 1-3, as usual. Sorry, I mispoke.

parsy, who has been drinking

Like the Battle of Stalingrad: it would've been a victory for the good guys either way.

I'm a bengals fan and as I watched it on tv I thought it might be no good. But I noticed as I watch it that none of the fans in the end zone seats were waving their arms to indicate the FG was no good.

Of course you can go on Youtube and notice that the FG that Denver kicked to beat Cleveland in the 1986 AFC Championship Game (aka the drive) looked to be no good on the tv angle and the person who posts that video suggests that it was no good.

Our division played the toughest schedule in the NFL last year. This year it has the easiest. Even if Cincy finishes with 4 losses (very likely) they will not be first in the division. The should have lost to Pittsburgh by about 4 touchdowns. They will not fare so luckily against the Ravens on Sunday.

Must be the same ref that called a fair ball foul in tonights Yankees/Twins game. He was twenty feet from where it came down and it hit a least a foot inside the line.

KC Cheifs fan and have been waiting since 1969 for a return to the Superbowl. Looks like it’s going to be another 40 years before they return.

Who can tell with all the video compression artifacts?

For all we know the video compressor decided that obscuring one of the goal post tips for one frame as the football passed in front just wasn't worth encoding and so just left the tip of goal post in for that frame.

Sounds ridiculous, but that sort of thing can happen with digital video compression. Compressed video doesn't completely tell the truth. It tells the truth to the extent there are bits available to tell the truth. When the bits run out, certain details of the video are ignored or altered.

No he didn’t. I thought that at first too, but he made it as another angle showed.

For the record, I am a Bengals fan, so my comment should be considered with that bias

that’s too eary to tell.

Currently the Bengals are 3-1 and tied for first in the AFC North with the Ravens, who they play this week in Baltimore

My son goes to UC so I had to have some fun with that. They’ve never been rated above “THE OSU” in football before.

Unless I’m confused, it isn’t possible to have a tie in American football. If tied at the end of play, it just goes into repeated sudden-death overtime.

One 15-minute session is played. The game ends as soon as one team scores. If the score remains tied, the game ends in a tie.

yes, considering BOTH refs were directly underneath the crossbar and could see the ball pass between the uprights and the fans reaction, there's no question the kick was good. Rex Ryan and brownie fans are simply whining sour grapes.

As a Bengal fan from their beginning (the team we love to hate) and created by a football legend (Paul Brown), always good to see Bengals beat the team named after him.

As an aside, Paul Brown and his Bengals quarterback coach developed the "West Coast" offense and implemented it with Ken Anderson, an exceptionally accurate passer who should be in the HoF. When PB retired from coaching and named his DC as the new head coach, the QB coach left the Bengals and he became HC for the 49's. That QB coach was Bill Walsh...and the rest is history.
