An indicator of how silly passer rating is as a stat? Andy Dalton has a 56 rating right now. 3/6, -17 yards.

Halftime and Dalton is 4/10 for 3 yards. AJ Green hasn't been targeted at all today.

Inept coaching at it's finest for the Bungles this afternoon.

Hines Ward: "If you're Minnesota you don't want 70 yard runs"



Moron.

This is why I hate the NFL.

That's a fumble.

I don't care what your stupid rules say.

Everything looks worse in slow motion.

And Burfict makes a stupid penalty in crunch time for the Bengals ........

That helmet to helmet hit was burrrrrfect.

I like Burfict. He was trying to jar the ball from Graham.
It doesn't take away from what some say was a very good rookie season.
He was a longshot to make the Bengals and he ends up leading the Bengals in tackles with 174.
thats not chump change by any means.
he's got better upside than Robertson,JMJ or Fort.
Burfict is only gonna get better

just got home from the game - great atmosphre, texans defense and foster were great!!

need to get better red zone offense or NE is gonna kill em

Cinci loses! That's all I cared about.

Burfict did exactly what his college profile said he would do ....... make a stupid mistake at a critical moment.

I'll give him credit in that he did play a lot better than I ever thought he would during most of the regular season ....... but at a key moment, he reverted to who he is at heart.

Yep, I was going to type that same thing when I read his post. That's often the price you pay with a player like that.

What's the mistake? The Texans made a 1st down on that play... which means the game was over... Burfict went for a big hit to try and jar the ball loose and give his team a chance to win.


It was 100% a penalty, but honestly I don't really blame him for going for a big hit.

his personal foul call was ticky tack. like I said he was trying to make a play.
if the play was over and he got into it with a Texans player,then its a different story.
but his penalty did nothing to affect the outcome of the game.
I will tell you played horribly was Maualuga.
he just simply can't diagnose whats in front of him fast enough.
The Texans are gonna get steamrolled by the Pats.
they let the Bengals hang around and have a chance to win.
I can't believe Jay Gruden is a HC canidate.
He cost the Bengals a win yesterday.

It was not "ticky tacky" ..... it was a crown of the helmet to helmet hit to a player who was already being tackled by another defender. It was a pure dirty hit. I don't know how much Burfict makes, but I bet he gets a sizable fine for that hit.

As far as Burfict trying to get the ball loose ..... that could never have happened with the hit he laid on the receiver. It was an illegal hit. The receiver was already being tackled, so if he wanted to jar the ball loose, maybe hitting the receiver lower ..... and tackling the ball might have been a far better course of action.

Cincy doesn't let us down. I am a Texans fan for a day.
