I am so pissed! Bengals avoid tie game with last second FG

Fucking Horseshit


Could have had a tie game!


Bengals would have been the first team since the 88 and 89 Chiefs to play to a tie in back to back seasons


Would have been the first tie in the month of October since 1988; the last five tie games have happened in November; including the Bengals 13-13 tie with the Eagles last year



WHAT REALLY PISSES ME OFF IS THE BENGALS COACH WANTED TO PUNT AND PLAY FOR A TIE; THE STUPID BROWNS CALL TIME OUT: THE BENGALS PLAYERS TALKED HIM OUT OF IT: GOING FOR IT ON 4th DOWN! SETTING UP THE GAME WINNING FG WITH NO TIME LEFT!

I guarantee we won't see a game end a tie this year or for the next 20 fucking years; just watch!



FUCKING BULLSHIT!

Damn! I was hoping for one, too. Game wasn't televised but the updates said like 10 seconds left in OT so I was getting my hopes up pretty high. Damn!

I didn't hear about it until after i came back home form my GF's house which i went to straight from Comerica Park after the Tigers game; I was watching ESPN or something; they showed the score as 23-20 OT ; didn't think much of it; figured it was a typical OT game; then I saw the highlights of it


Also there was an article on Yahoo saying that the Bengals were gonna punt; try and play for a tie; but the Browns called Timeout; and Bengals changed their minds;going for it instead on 4th down late in OT; setting up the FG

And a loss is not the same as a tie as one of the idiot Bengals players was quoted after the game


The Eagles got in the playoffs with a 9-6-1 record over Dallas 9-7 last year

Don't tell me a tie is the same as a loss

Ties are way better than losses. Too bad idiots don't ever realize that. Heck, you could go 4-0-12 and make the playoffs (that's like going 10-6). Obviously 12 ties is unrealistic, but you get the point.

For sure; And consider this; if ties are so bad; how come 99% of the time when a team is down by 7 points late in the 4th quarter; and if they score a Touchdown; they go for the extra point rather than try a game winning 2 point conversion; beats losing the coin toss and maybe not even getting the ball in OT in the first place if you ask me

Being a Browns fan, I was mad we lost and would have been happy with the tie since we played a great game and Mangini had to call a timeout to pretty much set up the win for Cincy.

But Mangini and the Browns GM did something right today trading Braylon Edwards, now New York has some1 to drop the ball on New Years Eve

There is a clip of that game winning FG on Yahoo sports; the kick was good? I think the refs blew that one; looked like the kick was no good; the game should have ended in a tie

Yeah i seen that.......defiantly no good. Defensive Coordinator Rob Ryan even said it was no good and players on the field were waving it off.

The refs were probably tired and wanted to go home so they just called it good

There was only 4 seconds left in OT; they could have let it play out; Unless the Browns throw a 80 yard hail mary on the next play; that game should have ended been a tie; Browns should be 1-3-1 instead of 1-4
