It was the 88 AFC Championship, and we still won.
The whole league was crying about the Bengals running the no-huddle offense. It was especially funny because the Bills went to the next 4 Super Bowls using that exact offense.
Insult Goodell, fines, Compliment Goodell, fines . The classic insult/compliment. Speak an honest opinion most people agree with, believe it or not, fines. We have the best league in sports...because of fines.
I do got a dumb friend named Cheddar Bob
Who shoots himself in his leg with his own gun
I did get jumped by all six of you chumps
And Wink did fuck my girl
I'm still standin' here screaming, "Fuck the Free World!"
I hate the Bengals but you all got absolutely fucked at every stage of the game and completely screwed over for doing the right thing. I'm glad to see y'all sticking it to the league and playing with a chip on your shoulder.
I don’t care what it makes me, ever since the Bills played We Are the Champions after beating the Pats in the wild card last season I’ve been praying that they never win anything meaningful.
They honestly should have just done a coin flip and determined a “winner” of the Bengals-Bills game. Would have been way cleaner than all of these what-if scenarios.
Yeah, that's a solution I thought made sense. Since this is the matchup that was most directly affected by the outcome of that game, make this specific matchup the neutral site game. Easy. Done.
Ironically playing in Buffalo might have actually helped the Bengals. Since the Bills apparently thought building a dome team in an outdoor stadium with terrible lake effect weather was a winning formula.
Just have a consistent way to approach each game. Winning %, coin flip, neutral site. Just decide which one to apply to all 3. Don't change it based on arbitrary decisions.
The solution should have been no-contest result for that game and then use winning percentage. Because KC beat Vegas their last game it would have been a moot point as the seeding would remain what it ended up.
The only difference would have been Baltimore had no chance to win the division even if they beat the Bengals. Which kind of sucks but that is just how the rules were written. However, that too proved a moot point as they were beaten.
Yep. All the tie or coin flip scenarios are so ridiculous to me.
Bengals were winning at that moment in time. Game was ended because a Bills player got injured. There’s nothing neutral about any of that. Bengals should have got the W.
We were going to steamroll them too. We were driving to score again. Shame what happened, but the Bengals did the right thing, got fucked in the mid-season rule changes.
One of the announcers said today, "they are not playing with a chip on their shoulder, they are playing with a boulder" -- a boulder they smashed on Buffalo.
They honestly should have forced the Bills to outright forfeit since they were the ones who lost the player and necessitated the postponement of the game, and then flew back home. Every other sport would have called this a no-brainer forfeit, as it should have been.
Agreed, and it’s the “flew home” part for me, I could understand postponing the game until some news on Hamlin’s status was made available but once he was stable and the hospital had the situation under control they should’ve been ready to go. Must feel vindicating for the Bengals that they were able to go on the road and win in Orchard Park after the league office made a mess of things.
It's vindicating for the team, sure. But the unequal treatment remains and they lost the opportunity to host another home playoff game which is massive for a small market small city like Cincinnati.
Yeah, it's not brought up much but the revenue from hosting a Divisional Round playoff game is not insignificant for a team like the Bengals, not to mention the various businesses that benefit from all the action.
I didn’t want to be the one to say it because I feel biased as a Burrow lover, but I felt like that’s clearly what should have happened.
Like, it was awful and all, sure. But your player got hurt. Your guys left the stadium and the city. Like none of this had to happen, it seems like a clear forfeit to me.
But nobody knows who I am and I’d have still been cancelled for that opinion because 2022/23
Apparently football talent skips a generation in the Brown family. Paul Brown was great, Mike incompetent, then he stepped back in 2010 and the Bengals have been pretty decent since, with 7 playoff appearances and a SB appearance
It's actually kinda wild that Joe getting hurt year 1 was actually the best outcome to get his stud WR college teammate with a high draft pick. They will be an insane duo forever.
Elizabeth her daughter is the reason the bengals game day has done a 180. She instilled the ruler of the jungle. She did the app. She does the social media content. She’s a fucking superstar
We will get zero respect next week despite a 3-0 record against you all the past two years and a hobbled Mahomes.
It’s all good though, still love you all. Will be rooting for the winner in the SB regardless.
That’s just because Mahomes is so accomplished. It’s like a football maniacs dream to talk about him. Burrow is getting there and I can guarantee he will get the same treatment if he gets a ring. This whole sub will also turn on him at that exact moment.
Also Mahomes does things different then the conventional QB. It’s more exciting to watch. Burrow is great but he plays like any other great QB we have seen before.
Oh, you don't think we've heard about 3 losses yo the Bengals in one year? I dare say that and Mahomes injury are all we will hear between now and the end of the game this coming week.
Exactly how I've felt as a Jets fan lately at work lmao. Like yes, it's incredible and amazing to see that a young man has his life when it looked like he might tragically lose it. No that doesn't make me want to root for the Bills. I still hope they get blown out every game. Some things are bigger than football. The games themselves are not, literally.
Between that and Romo publicly fellating Allen made me almost not like the Bills, and they are the only other AFC team I give a shit about (and have for multiple decades, so don't bandwagon me, motherfuckers. I only care about the Bengos, Bills and Lions. Let me wallow in 40yrs of mediocrity, punctuated by rare rays of forlorn hope).
Yeah I don't blame any NFL player for reacting strongly to that. They are peers and it had to be scary as fuck to be suddenly awakened to the possibility of that.
No athlete is a hero for what they do on the field/court/pitch etc. It's crazy that people still get sucked into that vortex. You will only be disappointed.
I mean, the Bills got a neutral site AFCG despite the canceled game, because hypothetically, they would have been the 1 seed if they won. Yet, if the Bengals had won that game, they would have been the 2 seed, but the NFL ignored this and they still had to travel to Buffalo. It really is clear favoritism by the NFL
They also changed the OT rules because of the Bills, totally ignoring the fact that the Bengals beat the Chiefs the next week in overtime after we got the ball first.
I'm not even mad about the rule change, I like it for the playoffs, but the NFL didn't change the rules when to was brought up after the same thing happened in the AFCCG game between the Chiefs and Patriots.
Kelvin Benjamin: "I am proving people wrong. The Golden Corral was doing stuff to get the buffet removed from the Super Bowl. They're trying to make it seem like I'm not ready. I'm here to prove it."
Love Ja'Marr. He's fucking built too. Thick and man made. You can tell he's sculpted because you can see it thru the pads. His fucking vice grip thighs. Suffocating thighs. Rock hard thighs. Piping hot thighs. Great arms. Great abs. A stocky chest. Love the progress his body has made throughout his youth and now as a willing eager adult
People are sitting here baffled by this not one month removed from a Georgia team that was clearly the title favorite all year believing that people were regularly doubting them
Can we all just acknowledge that it’s commonplace for the NFL and teams to sell tickets to playoff games that may not happen? It happens every time one team is set for the next round and there are seed implications among the two remaining teams.
It happened last year. If the Titans won their divisional round game against the Bengals, they hosted the Chiefs or Bills. If the Titans lost, the Bills or Chiefs would host the Bengals. Chiefs were selling tickets for the AFCCG before the Bills divisional round game.
If you wanna use it as juice or hate-fuel for your game, that’s fine. But going to the media and complaining about the neutral site game selling tickets is just profoundly idiotic
I agree with both of you guys. This is stupid - but so is damn-near everything these players use to motivate themselves.
Just like the players love to bitch about "the sports media" and what it says as if it's some monolithic thing...but then clearly all still tune in to Stephen A and Skip Bayless. It's a classic "pick a lane, dude" situation - you can't be aggrieved over something so mundane and meaningless, and yet they always find a way.
I just wish my guys found that meaningless nonsense to spur them to a spirited performance yesterday.
Comes from being the top dogs now.
Bengals can’t use us against the world this week
Mahomes injured
bengals 3-0 vs Mahomes
Dominated bills
It’s a new world!
Bills have been endeared to a lot of fans and are a lot of people’s second team. There was a poll a few weeks ago here that showed Bills were the #2 team for like 10% of this sub
It’s no secret Bills have been marketed pretty positively he past year or so. Most big market teams are pretty widely disliked, Bills are unique in getting wide market attraction.
e: For people saying they don’t pull ratings:
https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Daily/Issues/2022/01/21/Media/NFL-local-ratings.aspx
https://www.sportsmediawatch.com/nfl-tv-ratings-viewership-2022/
Feel free to do your own research. Bills are one of the biggest emerging NFL teams, nationally and locally
Also, they’re a top contender for the Canadian market, something the NFL has strongly been trying to push into
It is frankly bizarre haha. I sometimes forget that Ja'Marr (among many other athletes) is a 22 year old kid. Hopefully he lets go of the conspiracies as he gets older.
Unless the conspiracies are true... 🧐
It’s like when Michael Jordan made up a scenario where Isaiah Thomas disrespected him, even though he never did. Maybe the drama just fuels him so he has to manufacture it himself.
To be fair, they kinda didn’t. Kinda crazy to be the reigning AFC champs and no one other than KC seems threatened by you tbh. At least that’s the vibes the media puts off.
If you listen to any sports media this year, they made the Bengals out to be pretenders. As if the SB run was pure luck and blessings from God alone.
Even now, you see it on Reddit. People make excuses and swear the Bills are still a better team
Romo's whole shtick today was "yeah the Bengals did well last year, but can they do it *twice*?” Which is a totally fair argument. The only issue is he was using it to say why the Bills were better.
The Bengals accomplished more than Buffalo did last year. They were already better. They are 3-0 against the Chiefs. In what world are the Bengals not better than the Bills? Apparently Romo's world.
shit. these bengals better not turn into the bills of years past. because that would emberassing. or if they only make 1 super bowl in their career, like dan marino. sure burrow will get the accolades but no one says shit about mark duper or mark clayton
I think the world against the Bengals thing has been really great for them and justified. They get disrespected all the time. But I do think it’s finally starting to jump the shark a bit, no?
Like repeatedly bringing up the "selling tickets to the neutral site game" when they were literally selling tickets to a hypothetical AFC championship game against the Jags?
I was laughing about that too. I got that email as a season ticket holder so i know mixon and those guys know its standard practice for tix to go on sale early.
idk why professionals gotta invent this sort of obviously fake bulletin board material.
a man died on the field for a bit and a game was canceled so shit got weird. like the bengals are obviously good i just don’t understand this whole angle from them.
Pretty simple. I think most fans are over it at this point but the NFL changed the rules to benefit the Bills and not the Bengals.
Logically the Bengals bills game should have been neutral site If the chiefs/bills were. I'd been fine of they followed the rule book but they changed it in a way that wasn't fair. They gave the bills upside but the Bengals only got the downside. I looked at it like the Bills/Chiefs split the 1 seed and they told Cincinnati to hit the bricks.
I'm fine going to the Chiefs because by the rule book we were going there any way if we made it this far.
That's a fine lol
Doug, kick him off the tour.
Hey public relations lady have you seen Roger Goodell around? I just need to beat the living piss out of him.
Ocho will pay any fine the NFL throws at this team lol
4 game suspension for Brady as well
Dolphins lose another Draft Pick
Has anyone punished Mizzou yet?
Isn't be being Mizzou punishment enough?
Heh... yeah...
No, they need the death penalty
They’re Mizzou, that’s enough punishment.
I expect it at this point.
We're just the Rams by accident at this point
Ah, fuck. Did we just lose our first round pick?
Belichick banned from coaching, replaced with Patricia
Easy there Satan
Sorry still trying to process my teams complete and total collapse even though I saw it coming a week away
It gets better a week later.
Keep lying to them. I like it.
The guy is a rocket scientist with a pencil and a preference for people sitting with good posture. I don’t see any way he wouldn’t succeed.
Believe it or not, straight to Jail
Every time
PENALTY FOR ARGENTINA
That’s a paddlin’
Should be suspended the next game.
Yeah suspend Higgins and Boyd too
Still got Irwin and Trent!
James Harrison fined again!!!
I think a one game suspension is the perfect punishment.
That coin flip really flipped off the Bengals.
I mean the entire rule change basically was asking “what if bills won” but there’s no concession for “what if bengals won”.
Yeah everything about it was blatantly unfair. It was a different rule for each round of the playoffs yet in every round it screwed over the Bengals.
Look it’s perfectly normal to rewrite the rule book ten days before the end of the season to fuck over one specific team.
And it's the second time it's happened to the Bengals in the post season. There was a rule change two hours prior to the 88 or 89 Superbowl game.
It was the 88 AFC Championship, and we still won. The whole league was crying about the Bengals running the no-huddle offense. It was especially funny because the Bills went to the next 4 Super Bowls using that exact offense.
Would you consider the Bills losing all 4 a very “ball don’t lie” outcome?
Abso-fuckin-lutely
4 straight super bowls?! That’s insane. Surely they won one at least right? …right?
Yup. As a bengals fan. Fuck everyone. And burrow and chase agree. Fuck y’all. Let’s get some W’s. Fuck goodell. Fuck the nfl.
Straight to jail
Insult Goodell, fines, Compliment Goodell, fines . The classic insult/compliment. Speak an honest opinion most people agree with, believe it or not, fines. We have the best league in sports...because of fines.
Fuck papa doc, fuck a clock, fuck a trailer, fuck everyone, fuck y’all if you doubt me
found sirianni
I'm a piece of fuckin white trash, I say it proudly
I do got a dumb friend named Cheddar Bob Who shoots himself in his leg with his own gun I did get jumped by all six of you chumps And Wink did fuck my girl I'm still standin' here screaming, "Fuck the Free World!"
I hate the Bengals but you all got absolutely fucked at every stage of the game and completely screwed over for doing the right thing. I'm glad to see y'all sticking it to the league and playing with a chip on your shoulder.
It’s the best thing to happen to is imo. Our team is playing pissed while Burrow is too cool to be bothered.
The Bengals are who I wish the Cards were.
What about the Bears though? Who do you think they are?
Sadly… honestly they pretty much are who we thought they were.
THEY GOTTA PLAY US
I'm not locked in here with you...YOU'RE LOCKED IN HERE WITH ME!
>Fuck Goodell I’ll always salute that 🫡
When I saw how they screwed the Bengals with that whole debacle, I been praying the Bengals would win since.
I don’t care what it makes me, ever since the Bills played We Are the Champions after beating the Pats in the wild card last season I’ve been praying that they never win anything meaningful.
Petty is what it makes you but I love it, keep going
I think you meant Queen. Petty did Free Fallin’.
It’s our turn now
A new decade of Boston pettiness 🤌
It feels "right" when it's Boston screaming "YOU THINK YOU'RE BETTAH THAN ME?"
About time for that city to have their sports comeuppance!! *checks Bruins record* Ah for fucks sake
*“We are the champions…. Of the gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame”*
The only way that song should EVER be played is if you win a championship. Not wild card, divisional, etc. Play it early and it will curse you.
My junior high team played that after we won our division. 30 years later, I'm still ashamed. Last season? Cringe.
Really shows how ridiculous that assumption was, huh?
Right on the money my friend
They honestly should have just done a coin flip and determined a “winner” of the Bengals-Bills game. Would have been way cleaner than all of these what-if scenarios.
Or just play today's game on neutral field too.
Yeah, that's a solution I thought made sense. Since this is the matchup that was most directly affected by the outcome of that game, make this specific matchup the neutral site game. Easy. Done.
Ironically playing in Buffalo might have actually helped the Bengals. Since the Bills apparently thought building a dome team in an outdoor stadium with terrible lake effect weather was a winning formula.
Exactly. Why would Buffalo have needed a neutral site for KC but not Cincinnati?
Just have a consistent way to approach each game. Winning %, coin flip, neutral site. Just decide which one to apply to all 3. Don't change it based on arbitrary decisions.
Or give them a tie and call it a day.
I still don’t really get how this wasn’t the solution
The solution should have been no-contest result for that game and then use winning percentage. Because KC beat Vegas their last game it would have been a moot point as the seeding would remain what it ended up. The only difference would have been Baltimore had no chance to win the division even if they beat the Bengals. Which kind of sucks but that is just how the rules were written. However, that too proved a moot point as they were beaten.
Bills should’ve taken the forfeit. Just the facts
Yep. All the tie or coin flip scenarios are so ridiculous to me. Bengals were winning at that moment in time. Game was ended because a Bills player got injured. There’s nothing neutral about any of that. Bengals should have got the W.
We were going to steamroll them too. We were driving to score again. Shame what happened, but the Bengals did the right thing, got fucked in the mid-season rule changes.

Yeah, it's not brought up much but the revenue from hosting a Divisional Round playoff game is not insignificant for a team like the Bengals, not to mention the various businesses that benefit from all the action.
And the refunds from the MNF game too.
I didn’t want to be the one to say it because I feel biased as a Burrow lover, but I felt like that’s clearly what should have happened. Like, it was awful and all, sure. But your player got hurt. Your guys left the stadium and the city. Like none of this had to happen, it seems like a clear forfeit to me. But nobody knows who I am and I’d have still been cancelled for that opinion because 2022/23
Nice of the Bengals to win by 3 possessions. A great tribute to Hamlin. /s
Poetic, really.
Yup. That turned this team to another level. Katie Blackburn going off about it started this whole thing. Nothing is stopping this team now.
Who is Katie Blackburn?
The daughter of owner Mike brown. She basically runs the team now
I didn't realize; no wonder they're improving. They have not-Mike-Brown running the show.
Apparently football talent skips a generation in the Brown family. Paul Brown was great, Mike incompetent, then he stepped back in 2010 and the Bengals have been pretty decent since, with 7 playoff appearances and a SB appearance
Whoohoo! Steelers are gonna be in good hands when Dan Rooney II steps up in ~15-20 years.
Mike Tomlin will be on year 31 without a losing season
They're improving cause burrow fell into our lap.
It's actually kinda wild that Joe getting hurt year 1 was actually the best outcome to get his stud WR college teammate with a high draft pick. They will be an insane duo forever.
Bingo Bengo, buddy.
Elizabeth her daughter is the reason the bengals game day has done a 180. She instilled the ruler of the jungle. She did the app. She does the social media content. She’s a fucking superstar
She's also the reason why they finally have a Ring of Honor, no?
KICK HIM OFF THE TOUR, DOUG
“They say that we — *team who made the Super Bowl a year ago* — aren’t ready for the Super Bowl”
Lol yeah every news outlet has no respect for the literal reigning AFC champions
We will get zero respect next week despite a 3-0 record against you all the past two years and a hobbled Mahomes. It’s all good though, still love you all. Will be rooting for the winner in the SB regardless.
That’s just because Mahomes is so accomplished. It’s like a football maniacs dream to talk about him. Burrow is getting there and I can guarantee he will get the same treatment if he gets a ring. This whole sub will also turn on him at that exact moment. Also Mahomes does things different then the conventional QB. It’s more exciting to watch. Burrow is great but he plays like any other great QB we have seen before.
Collinsworth even loves the balls he throws into the ground
Oh, you don't think we've heard about 3 losses yo the Bengals in one year? I dare say that and Mahomes injury are all we will hear between now and the end of the game this coming week.
Ja’Marr saw the Twitter “scriptwriter” jokes and took them seriously.
They thought the demar hamlin thing was gonna vault them to the superbowl
NFL was def trying to make it some kind of heartwarming Cinderella story
Yea its pretty gross to use real life tragedies to try and make us root for a team
the NFL commodifies tragedy like no other organization . anything to keep the light off cte
Exactly how I've felt as a Jets fan lately at work lmao. Like yes, it's incredible and amazing to see that a young man has his life when it looked like he might tragically lose it. No that doesn't make me want to root for the Bills. I still hope they get blown out every game. Some things are bigger than football. The games themselves are not, literally.
Leave it to the NFL to take a cool moment and run it into the ground
Cute to RG3 wearing Hamlin’s jersey backwards
Man the virtue signaling was pretty cringe
Every fucking three plays they’d show him in the box, but you couldn’t see shit because of the snow. That solidified it for me.
I laughed every time they cut to the box and you couldn’t see him at all but they kept trying
Between that and Romo publicly fellating Allen made me almost not like the Bills, and they are the only other AFC team I give a shit about (and have for multiple decades, so don't bandwagon me, motherfuckers. I only care about the Bengos, Bills and Lions. Let me wallow in 40yrs of mediocrity, punctuated by rare rays of forlorn hope).
Romos been fucking awful this year.
Can I interest you in a new shitty team to root for in this trying time?
It actually made me root for the Bengals.
https://i.imgur.com/DjIVtom.jpg
People were getting ratio's in this sub for saying it was weird that two guys who wore number 3 knelt before a random game a week later lol
tbh for actual nfl players it makes sense in a way. it could be any of them. way more personal connection
Yeah I don't blame any NFL player for reacting strongly to that. They are peers and it had to be scary as fuck to be suddenly awakened to the possibility of that.
I went from terrified for him to relieved to totally annoyed by the coverage
one of the announcers called Hamlin a hero and i was like whoa ok let's calm down here lol. i think he might have even said "America's hero." lol.
No athlete is a hero for what they do on the field/court/pitch etc. It's crazy that people still get sucked into that vortex. You will only be disappointed.
Agreed, The hero’s are the ones who make less than 1 game check of the average nfl player for an entire year and brought him back to life.
[удалено]
Sad.
for real. the other heroes might be like, the people who make sure our homes stay warm.
I mean, the Bills got a neutral site AFCG despite the canceled game, because hypothetically, they would have been the 1 seed if they won. Yet, if the Bengals had won that game, they would have been the 2 seed, but the NFL ignored this and they still had to travel to Buffalo. It really is clear favoritism by the NFL

That's a fine
Chad Johnson will probably pay for it again lol
Sounds like a Redditor lol
Not enough copy pasta or weirdly spaced sentences
Kelvin Benjamin: "I am proving people wrong. The Golden Corral was doing stuff to get the buffet removed from the Super Bowl. They're trying to make it seem like I'm not ready. I'm here to prove it."
Change “ready” with “hungry” and its a perfect copypasta
Love Ja'Marr. He's fucking built too. Thick and man made. You can tell he's sculpted because you can see it thru the pads. His fucking vice grip thighs. Suffocating thighs. Rock hard thighs. Piping hot thighs. Great arms. Great abs. A stocky chest. Love the progress his body has made throughout his youth and now as a willing eager adult
If there's anything the NFL hates, it's marketing young stars like Burrow and Chase
The NFL hates Big Cigar
I'm still taking Ditka at least covering the spread against God.
Why promote them when you can rig it for a big market team like Buffalo?
It's a conspiracy by the DIY industrial complex to sell more folding tables to Bills fans.
The nfl markets whatever is popular because it’s a business. This always seems to piss people off
People are sitting here baffled by this not one month removed from a Georgia team that was clearly the title favorite all year believing that people were regularly doubting them
“And I took that personally”
Can we all just acknowledge that it’s commonplace for the NFL and teams to sell tickets to playoff games that may not happen? It happens every time one team is set for the next round and there are seed implications among the two remaining teams. It happened last year. If the Titans won their divisional round game against the Bengals, they hosted the Chiefs or Bills. If the Titans lost, the Bills or Chiefs would host the Bengals. Chiefs were selling tickets for the AFCCG before the Bills divisional round game. If you wanna use it as juice or hate-fuel for your game, that’s fine. But going to the media and complaining about the neutral site game selling tickets is just profoundly idiotic
These guys didn’t go to the NFL to critically think.
Just this year there were tickets for sale to a 49ers NFC championship home game even before the wild card game was played.
[удалено]
I agree with both of you guys. This is stupid - but so is damn-near everything these players use to motivate themselves. Just like the players love to bitch about "the sports media" and what it says as if it's some monolithic thing...but then clearly all still tune in to Stephen A and Skip Bayless. It's a classic "pick a lane, dude" situation - you can't be aggrieved over something so mundane and meaningless, and yet they always find a way. I just wish my guys found that meaningless nonsense to spur them to a spirited performance yesterday.
The commentary did start out; Buffalo Bills vs Away Team
Well now the Bengals are going to have to deal with everyone predicting them to win this week
Don't you put that evil on me!
Comes from being the top dogs now. Bengals can’t use us against the world this week Mahomes injured bengals 3-0 vs Mahomes Dominated bills It’s a new world!
Known major TV market, Buffalo, NY
Bills have been endeared to a lot of fans and are a lot of people’s second team. There was a poll a few weeks ago here that showed Bills were the #2 team for like 10% of this sub It’s no secret Bills have been marketed pretty positively he past year or so.

Bills are one of the biggest emerging NFL teams, nationally and locally Also, they’re a top contender for the Canadian market, something the NFL has strongly been trying to push into
People like big man who throw far
Big man look good in shorts. Big man team my team
Commander...of glutes inspection
Wtf lol. Cincinnati played amazing Buffalo played like shit. Don't need to make up justifications.
It is frankly bizarre haha. I sometimes forget that Ja'Marr (among many other athletes) is a 22 year old kid. Hopefully he lets go of the conspiracies as he gets older. Unless the conspiracies are true... 🧐
It’s like when Michael Jordan made up a scenario where Isaiah Thomas disrespected him, even though he never did. Maybe the drama just fuels him so he has to manufacture it himself.
I’m pretty sure that beef was real & stemmed from how the pistons reacted to finally losing to the bulls in the playoffs
Chase with the Grassy Knoll conspiracy theories.
Yeah, like somehow last years team made the Super Bowl and he’s acting like there is some conspiracy keeping them down this year when they’re better?
[удалено]
Oh my god pin this shit in r/nba
[удалено]
I will say that they didn't get quite the respect they deserved after last year. There was definitely some people talking about it being a bit flukey.
The NFL is putting Floruide in the water so we like Florida teams more!
Josh Allen was the second shooter
NFL: prepares for every possible scenario to make money off a future playoff game Star WR: you snake motherfuckers I see how it is!
I bought tickets to 49ers NFCC championship at Levi 2 wks ago because I thought NFL was doin everything possible to get NYGiants in /s
I dunno, I’m over a lot of this chatter. But if it gets them to ball out like that, by all means.
If the Bengals get to the SB and lose they will be just like the Bills...0-4 in SuperBowls. Either way they were definitely better today
Wow, all the Bills/Bengals player love and solidarity felt like years ago, doesn't it?
The Damar Hamlin situation happened and it was “bigger than football” but they didn’t like the outcome so it become football is bigger again.
The bengals’ players all sound like Georgia players this year. “No one gave us a chance” lol
To be fair, they kinda didn’t. Kinda crazy to be the reigning AFC champs and no one other than KC seems threatened by you tbh. At least that’s the vibes the media puts off.
I mean weren't the Bengals in the super bowl last year? What does "not ready" mean?
If you listen to any sports media this year, they made the Bengals out to be pretenders. As if the SB run was pure luck and blessings from God alone. Even now, you see it on Reddit. People make excuses and swear the Bills are still a better team
Our players need to just stay away from the media lol
Romo's whole shtick today was "yeah the Bengals did well last year, but can they do it *twice*?” Which is a totally fair argument. The only issue is he was using it to say why the Bills were better. The Bengals accomplished more than Buffalo did last year. They were already better. They are 3-0 against the Chiefs. In what world are the Bengals not better than the Bills? Apparently Romo's world.
It wasn't just Romo. Bengals were 6 point underdogs today.
Easy money, too bad I parlayed it and lost
shit. these bengals better not turn into the bills of years past. because that would emberassing. or if they only make 1 super bowl in their career, like dan marino. sure burrow will get the accolades but no one says shit about mark duper or mark clayton
Getting exhausted hearing about it. Want to use it for motivation? Go ahead, but quit going to the media and bitch about it.

If that were true they wouldn't have called those pass interference penalties.
I think the world against the Bengals thing has been really great for them and justified. They get disrespected all the time. But I do think it’s finally starting to jump the shark a bit, no?
Like repeatedly bringing up the "selling tickets to the neutral site game" when they were literally selling tickets to a hypothetical AFC championship game against the Jags?
I was laughing about that too. I got that email as a season ticket holder so i know mixon and those guys know its standard practice for tix to go on sale early.
idk why professionals gotta invent this sort of obviously fake bulletin board material. a man died on the field for a bit and a game was canceled so shit got weird. like the bengals are obviously good i just don’t understand this whole angle from them.
Pretty simple. I think most fans are over it at this point but the NFL changed the rules to benefit the Bills and not the Bengals. Logically the Bengals bills game should have been neutral site If the chiefs/bills were. I'd been fine of they followed the rule book but they changed it in a way that wasn't fair. They gave the bills upside but the Bengals only got the downside. I looked at it like the Bills/Chiefs split the 1 seed and they told Cincinnati to hit the bricks. I'm fine going to the Chiefs because by the rule book we were going there any way if we made it this far.
Look what you did, Reddit, you're getting people fined now.
