Thurs. Nite Football - Bengals or Dolphins - who to root for?

[varjao]

Unbelievable, at least got back my money. The right thing to do actually is never bet in a Dolphins Game, unless you like to suffer.

Week 9 and still no good games on thursday night.

Good result for the Pats though, we need the home field advantage in the playoffs.

idk... this one was pretty entertaining, if full of Dalton mistakes...

Wow. Their hopes just got torn to pieces.

..."When healthy these dolphins are as good as the OL and Tannehill let them be."

They should have gone with that.

 

[Banjo]

God, this season-ending injuries to big time special players are driving me crazy! Feels like every team has suffered at least one devastating loss this year.

I hope it's not true, for Geno's sake. If it is, I wish him a speedy recovery. On the game front:

The Bengals' biggest advantage against the Patriots will be negated, or at least lessened considerably, if this turns out to be true.

This Cameron Wake is on something..."we lost right at the end last game..."...hey, Timothy Leary, you NEVER SCORED A POINT in the 2nd half...you idiot...you GAVE UP 24 unanswered points. "we good man, we should have won dis last game too"...he should check in..

The Bengals have a lot of talent...they also have a ten cent coaching staff. I mean, first down, run it up the middle...get to their 40, first down, run it up the middle... Miami BEGGING to get murdered with the screen....7 step drop and try the long pass twice..p.what is wrong with the Bengals ownership???..they have all these great players and they have a cigar store indian head coach...unreal.

Eh, Lewis is pretty good but the play caller is terribad.

Cincinnati should have won that game. Poor execution by their offense done them in.

Way too many turnovers and drops. Can't win like that.

Short week.

Dalton was an inch out of the EZ when he got hit.

Right. I think the Bengals got hosed on that call.

 

[TruthSeeker]

I'm rooting for the Bengals because I don't like to be always rooting for the underdog (it puts me in a better mood to be rooting for the team that's winning). I'm also also aware that my rooting interest has absolutely no impact on the game and it will be just fine if the Dolphins pull it out.

Well, when the game started (and the score was 0-0) I couldn't help myself; I was rooting for the Dolphins because I truly believed that the Bengals are the bigger threat to the Patriots. Go fish!

 

[TruthSeeker]

Right. I think the Bengals got hosed on that call.

As the ref noted by confirming the call on reply review, at least part of the ball was clearly on the line or in the EZ; not that close a call. Perhaps you don't understand the rule that any part of the ball in any part of the EZ (including the line) makes it a safety?

 

[nabwong]

Obviously the Buffalo Wild Wings guy and an overtime tie.

so close....

 

[Ivan]

It is nothing short of bizarre that the Patriots can struggle the way they have this season and be sitting at the #2 seed at the halfway point. Simply amazing.

Yep, they had a goaline look at it and when Dalton brought his arm back the ball was clearly on the line and Wake hit him. I wanted the Bengals but it was one of those games where either result is a win for the Patriots.

It really is.

He should have been fired long ago actually...
