OT: Monday Night Football

Bengals and Steelers are both 0-3, so there may be some hilariously bad footballing tonight.

As I type, Devin Bush with a sack!

Looks like it's going to be a defensive game. As in "the offenses have both been paid off by Vegas bookies to throw the game" kind of defensive effort.

It's close, but I think Bengals are worse.  

That 2016 Bengals playoff loss to Pittsburgh?  That was simply an unimaginable way to lose.  I fully expect them to not overcome that one for a full generation.

One other anecdote, as regards the franchises:

I attended the 2017 Bengals/Lions game on Christmas Eve.  I met a bet with a friend of mine before the season began: "if (1) one of those teams still has a chance for the playoffs, (2) the other team is eliminated, and (3) the team with a playoff chance is favored, I'll bet you any amount of money, I'll take the underdog straight up."

We bet a $20 lunch.  OF COURSE the Bengals won that game w/ a lame-duck coach (who still wound up coming back in 2018!), eliminating the Lions from the playoffs

Dude.....its no where close

 

We haven't ever been to a superbowl. We have like 1 playoff win in the superbowl era and it happened nearly 3 decades ago.

The lions suffer way more than the Bengals who at least consistently find their way in the playoffs

Did anyone see that Steelers TD?

I’ll admit I don’t know all the details in the rules, but in that motion by #18, it didn’t look like he was ever set, and was moving towards the line of scrimmage. Isn’t that illegal motion?

Michigan passively shit on in that CFP commercial. Fans of all teams come roaring out. Last one out is an old grandma in Michigan gear with a plate of cookies. God damn it lol

Bengals aren't doing well lately. You can Read More Here to get familiar with their current stats if you aren't already. As I am from cincinnati, it's quite disappointing that our team doesn't impress its fans with the results.
