Not saying it's scientific but interesting to read.

Wow, spot on. Although the percentages might be a little wonky. I think Burfict/Lewis share about 60-70% of the blame, at least.

And is it just me or do those tats just not look right on McCarron?

 

Good article. Bengals fans need to read this.

 

Stay classy cincy

 

Nice read. On a side note, did anyone notice the photo with AV in the background? The man is a giant!

 

My favorite part of the whole article. He could definitely shave his beard into Wolverines sideburns.

 

that's good stuff. The only issue I have is the "officiating" part. No mention of the officials screwing us out of a TD on that fumble? I think Pacman should be saying thankyou.

 

Thanks for posting the link. Good read. Some solid, unbiased insight.

 

Well, the article was reasons the Bungles lost

 

that is true. I guess I'm just sick of all this talk about the officials screwing the Bengals. They screwed us worse. IMO the officials were basically responsible for Ben and Browns injury's. They let the Bengals go on with their cheap crap and flagged us for it a couple times. Foster had his foot stomped on by Burfick and he got flagged for reacting. WTF is that? Burfick kneed Ben while he was on the ground...no flag. they stole a TD from us. The flagged our coach for grabbing a player that just ran full speed into him on the side line...wtf is that? The ignored the late hits on us all game...up until Brown was nearly killed. So the Bengals thuggery just escalated because the officials encouraged them to do so by not taking control.

 

Jeremy Hill's fumble was #1 IMO.

Refs shpuldn't be on the list- they kept the Bengals in the game by erasing Shazier's TD.

Rain is 0%. Both teams were in the rain.

Marvin Lewis' employment of thugs was a major one though.

Refs let them get away with kneeing Ben, shoving Munchak (no idea how those weren't offsetting at least), running into the tunnel, Marvin Lewis on the field etc.

 

I don't think I even realized he had tattoos. Choir boy looks from the neck up, gangsta boy looking arms.

 

Exactly what I was thinking... never saw the tats before. Looks like an 8-year-old with tats... lol

 

Exactly what I was thinking. Makes Gilberry look small.

 

LOL, that was great. Thanks.

 

I think Shazier is the main reason they lost. He STRIPPED the ball, not that the runner fumbled. So he is highest percentage reason why the Bungles lost, he gave us a chance. Before that there was next to zero chance. That made everything else that followed possible.
