Reid's bonehead decision at the end of the first half is what did them in.

Such a stupid call.

KC 9 drives, 3 points started mid 2nd quarter. now playing defense in OT.

Cinci's going to the SB. Dammit!

49 yard field goal range, Depodesta, and analytics can put a sock in it, that's how you fall apart.
down to the 12.

THEY AREN'T EVEN THAT GOOD OF A TEAM!

it'd be a 27 yarder from the 10. it's 17 plus the line of scrimmage

HaHa Mahomes

Bengals going to the Super Bowl.

When it rains it pours.

Going to be enormous expectations on the Browns next season after what the Bengals just accomplished.

Also... kickers matter.

I hope Baker Mayfield is taking notes.

cincy wins. Analytics loses on gameday

Hey, atleast baker has burrows # in the regular season!!

Burrow taking his team to the Super Bowl in his 2nd year. Take notes Browns.

And with an absolutely garbage offensive line.

THE CINCINNATI BENGALS ARE GOING TO THE FREAKING SUPER BOWL!

Good job Cincy! Go win it all.

The Bengals show you that having the right guy at QB means a hell of a lot. Aside from WR and special teams, the Browns are statistically better in every single category I believe. Berry and the mind trust might be forced to make a move, even despite the fact they picked up the 5th year option for Mayfield.

I agree, you need the right guy at QB. The Browns are better than the Bengals except at QB.

Brilliant post.

Good kickers matter.

We are a Better Team than Cintucky but they have Joe Burrow ... and I hate to say this but I don't see the Rams or Niners can beat the Bungals

Whew. I was concerned there for a minute with Ben retiring and Lamar slowing down we wouldn’t have a stud QB to face twice a year in our division.

Not necessarily pointed at you, but Cincy is going to the Superbowl and we aren't.

You win as a team, you lose as a team. I'd say Cincy is the better team.

So, worst team in the NFL two years ago, now in the Super Bowl. From last to first in the AFCN. We have managed to go from last to 3rd.

Burrow has more playoff wins than Baker and Lamar combined.

If I sound bitter, it's because I am. Other teams can get out of their own way and improve. We can't. I am still asked if I remember being 1-31. Yes, we were rock bottom. But will we reach a point where we are no longer satisfied with being mediocre? Will there be a point where "not sucking" isn't good enough? Where the yardstick is something other than 1-31? Or the QB being better than Kiser, Weeden, or Quinn?

I am depressed, but won't seek help because it would be blamed on the pandemic.

With all the ANALYSTS in the room, NOBODY CAN SPEAK UP AND SAY, LEAVING POINTS ON THE BOARD BY NOT TAKING A FIELD GOAL,
AND AT ANY POINT IN THE ENTIRE GAMES
LEADS TO LOSING!

When you've watched about 10 thousand football games in your lifetime, at different levels, you can see the decision to
go for a Td with only 6 seconds on the clock before the halftime, means you were taking the sure 3 points off the board.
that's their analytics
that's how they lose games on game day
It's not baseball. Analytics Needs to GO!

Cincy has better WRs. Better dline . Better LBers And as it looks like a better scouting and GM
Department. And I.just read they have 1 person In their analytics department

Oh yeah how did Eotabs brilliant prediction turn out?
He said the Chiefs would win easily

Bollocks!

The Rams and 49ers. The Rams have already punted No offense No Bueno

\

Only because of Burrow take him away and they are not good but we can't do that ... Yes I'm frustrated I watched Burrow win a NT at LSU when he should have won it Columbus thanks Urban ... and now this SMH

jc

Seems like all the underdogs are winning.

j/c...

SF special teams has been really good.

Glad the chiefs lost. I didn't want to see another team winning every year(unless it's the Browns).

A team from Ohio ,,, so effing what?

The Browns won it all in 1965, or 64, but they haven't won 2 post season games since about 1958, or 56, and both of those years
were exactly
ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO. (Austin Powers told me.)

I remember a couple years ago, heck even last year, where people on this board were saying what a bad hire Zac Taylor was. They are going to the superbowl with a defense everybody said was mediocre, and the worst Oline in football.
If the Browns played with half the heart that the Bengals do, they would win more games. People saying Baker is better than Burrow are fools. Burrow is a leader and going to be a great player for years. He is a winner, and expects to win. He has done it since high school.
I am happy for Burrow, although I hate the Bengals. I watched him play in high school, and saw him succeed in college. I hope they win it all at this point.

The thing for me, is how much heart their team has. They don't give up. The Browns clearly don't have that type of mentality. I hope Baker comes back healthy, and proves many wrong about him, including myself, but,I just don't see it. I also don't see the fire in our players necessary to be consistent winners.

So once again we go into the off season hoping for a change. Maybe Stephanski will eventually have the success Taylor is having, Baker will learn to read a defense, and the whole team comes back with an attitude that they are going to win, instead of just hoping to win.

Until next year, go Joe Burrow

Go 49ers. Seeing Beckham go to the superbowl after the way he performed here would sicken me. I was in his corner until I found out he wanted traded even before the season started. Then when I found out about him telling Von Miller not to come to Cleveland, I can't and will never respect that selfish douchebag again.

People tha say JimmyG is significantly better than Baker are laughable.


he is not that good.

j/c...

OBJ change his cleats at halftime? What happened to the Mamba snake skins?
