Well this Bungal fan is livid, but only because the Bungals started the season wholly unprepared to play an NFL game and lost game one to the Patriot. Totally unacceptable. That’s 3 years in a row they started the season by losing and looking worse than a high school team. Zac Taylor won’t play anyone in preseason and uses game one to get shit together. It bit him in the ass this time.

Why would you be livid, they don’t belong in the playoffs if they have to rely on another team to get in

Breaks of the schedule? I was rooting for the Bengals.... but go back and look at some of their losses. To the Patriots? To the Ravens in OT when they blew a FG attempt. Close call with the Chiefs....Don’t put yourself in the situation where you need other teams to bail you out.

Jets get a win! Wonders never cease! Still I think this is the end of the Rodgers Era in New York.

I keep looking back to that Pats game too. Especially after the season the Patriots had.

Re-read my post, I said it was the Bengals fault, that’s why I’m mad. They weren’t ready to play football at the start of the year. That and they let 2 great players leave because of dollars. Now we’ll probably lose Tee Higgins because of money from a family worth $4 Billion. God only knows how the Chase scenario will play out.

“but go back and look at some of their losses.”

Patriots - Terrible loss, only 10 points with Burrow?? Totally unprepared.
Commanders - Torched by a rookie QB on MNF at home
Ravens - Rookie punter/holder drops snap on game winning FG in OT
Stealers - Ole man Wilson lights up porous Defense for 44 points (see Reader and Bates leaving for $)

There, I relived my nightmare! 😝

Hey

Can you explain to me how KC, who lost today, is “number 1 seed”? KC is 15-2. Who ever wins tonight is 15-2. The tie breaker, when I googled it, is “Points for” and both Detroit and Minnesota have better Point For totals.

So why is KC “number one seed” according to the google search I just ran?

Broncos pitched a shutout. The Chiefs really laid down (I hadn’t checked the score earlier).

KC is AFC Champ #1
Mn and Detroit are playing for NFC championship #1

They are in different conferences. KC is #1 in the AFC and Detroit and Minnesota are in the NFC vying for their #1 seed.

KC is in the AFC; Lions and Vikings are in the NFC. Seeding is not cross-conference, only within the conference.

It was so ugly I changed to Jets - Dolphins just to see Rodgers lose and damned if he didn’t pull one out.

Honestly as a big Football fan, I think Buffalo will roll Denver. The Bungs would have put up a much better game to watch.
