I'm a Bengals fan. They needed last night terribly. It's not impossible to make the playoffs in a weak division, but I have little confidence based on the way they're playing. The secondary is killing the team. I can't count the times that they have allowed 3rd and long conversions to extend drives. A fellow fan blames 'stupid' penalties, but I argue that the penalties are almost necessary otherwise they'd get smoked. Looking at you PacMan.

It's the jerseys. If they were wearing non-evil jerseys they'd be ok.

I was in two minds about picking the Redskins over the Packers this week but I'm glad I did!

The Skins Packers score does not reflect a blowout to me. Packers injuries ultimately undid them. It was pissing me off that they were staying in it for 3& 3/4ths quarters. It only became a blowout late in the game. AND this game is also why I hate the 2 point conversion. Just like trick plays, it is high risk low yield.

I will say this though, the good thing is it gives us a boost going into "Eat tons of food and get ready to buy needless crap" day. And for once Cousins didn't throw an INT. Put up great numbers too. It is almost as if someone told Danny to stay the fuck off the field.
