I have a question, when the bengals had the ball at the 50 and 2 seconds left, Buffalo sent all of their secondary to the end zone. The bengals threw it to the end zone which did not work naturally. Why not throw it short to like the 20, then let your big fast receiver have a head of steam at the defenders that weren’t expecting that, maybe with another receiver available for a pitch? Seems like that’d stand a better chance than doing what they expected you to do

Buffalo’’s defense is not good today.

I would try that, but I'd hate having to keep wiping off my TV screen.

Maher's yips are hard to watch.

by AvgMSUJoe 2023-01-22, 20:16

Can't they call up a kicker from the practice squad or something? Punter give it a shot?

They did bring in another kicker this week. We'll see who they trot out for the next FG/XP if there is one. I love that this is happening to Dallas though.

The Bills really are just the Lions of the AFC. Dumbasses.

The Lions wish they were the Bills of the NFC. There is no team in the NFL even close to the Lions' 60+ years of futility.

by **DWags** 2023-01-22, 21:23

Oh man turn the game on. If Dallas scores a TD and they need Maher to tie it, will they use him or go for two?

Is it better to have your heart broken or to have never loved at all? I don't know. It's a coin flip right now. I think DWags cursed us all with pincushions and bratwurst after the Packers lost.

1 playoff win since the '50s? Yeah, I'll gladly take a lot more heartbreak than that please.

Ended the season as the third best team in their conference? Yeah that checks out

by **Turtleneck** 2023-01-23, 08:51

It does check out because every good season ends as a huge fucking disappointment relative to expectations.

Seems like this season was one of their best in a couple of decades. I expect next year they will revert to their mean level.

That’s not true no one has ever really had expectations for the lions unless they’re big time idiots. Maybe there will be expectations next year. But to this point, no, never.

Are you talking about the Bills? They had the same record in 2020 and last year they were better (in the playoffs) despite losing 6 games in the regular season.

I should have been specific, no, the Lions.

Niners trying to play with like their 37th string hurt QB

by **GRR Spartan** 2023-01-29, 17:45

After Purdy was pulled due to injury and replacement QB Johnson was sacked on his first play I turned it off.

Will watch Bengals - Chiefs @ 6:30.

by **tGreenWay** 2023-01-29, 18:11

That body slam near the end was the most interesting part of today’s game.

by **Floyd Robertson** 2023-01-29, 19:01

Two possessions for Cincinnati and two Burrow sacks

by **Floyd Robertson** 2023-01-29, 19:02

Make it three

by **kingstonlake** 2023-01-29, 19:06

Cincinnati might be deeper into backups on the online than SF is at QB

What an incredibly dumb idiot

by **MiamiSpartan** 2023-01-29, 22:12

Has MSU ever lost a game where a dumb personal foul with less than 10 seconds to go put the opponent in FG range? We've lost in some incredible ways, but I can't think of one that was quite so directly responsible AND so stupid and pointless.

Knock on wood.

by **Travis of the Cosmos** 2023-01-29, 22:16

Roughing the punter. Wisconsin.

KC got some pretty big breaks. I would be pretty frustrated if I was a Cincinnati fan.
