NFL 2024 | Can the Bengals pull it off?

It's always funny this time of year when it shows the mixed emotions of the fans reacting to their 3-12 team winning. Some are delighted and some do not look amused.
 
Those Indy DBs staying in the endzone looking straight at the QB rushing in are so dumb. How do you do that with your season on the line?
 
This is aligning for the Bengals. I don't see Miami winning 2 consecutive cold road games, especially with Tua out of this one.
 
Giants winning to lose the 1.01 but oh wait, the Raiders and Jags are also winning :lol:

A friend told me New England now has the top pick. But they play at Buffalo next week who have the 2 seed locked and may rest key players. Watch NE grab a meaningless win next week and feck up their hold on the top pick.
 
For the Pats a win over bills is absolutely brutal because with the bills having 13 wins the Pats strength of victory would be ridiculous and put them out to like 5-6 so I can see them trying their best to lose
 
Exactly Broncos should win easy but it depends on who they think will be easier to beat moving forward.

Denver can't go better than 6th seed, which is probably a trip to Baltimore. Pick your poison I suppose. Update: I think they're locked in 7th seed if they get in.

I'm thinking what KC is looking at - three SB wins in a row. You don't chance some freak injury to Mahomes or Jones in a meaningless game. Give them two weeks rest. Kelce, they could play him a half or so, wouldn't want him hurt either but the aforementioned duo is key to this year's run.
 
Will the Chiefs even try to beat the broncos though?

The Chiefs will rest key starters but Wentz is definitely capable of making stuff happen. I believe the Chiefs are 2-1 against teams when they have rested starters in the Mahomes era. I don't think it will be a cake walk for Denver.

Neither team is going to Buffalo and then probably Baltimore and winning, so I doubt the Chiefs would even be thinking like that.

Broncos/Chiefs games have been pretty close in the last few years so Broncos will be favourites at home, but there’s a big incentive for the Chiefs back ups to prove themselves in a non pressure situation. I’m sure it’ll be close, but the Bengals haven’t exactly got a gimme at the Steelers.
 
I swear, some of these players have zero braincells. 15 yard penalty for being a feckin mug and wanting his face on camera.
 
Some really dumb football in this vikings packers game. Brady bang on about the ridiculous use of timeouts
 
Disappointing effort so far. The defense crumbling once the playoffs get close is typical.
 
It's started raining. Watch out Miami.
 
The Browns are fecking dumb aren't they.
 
Hanson is having a pretty chill evening. Bet he wishes it was two games in the late window every week.
 
Vikings have incredible receivers but Darnold slings the ball a bit too much, can see them losing in the playoffs with him throwing 3-4 picks
 
Vikings @ Lions for the #1 seed next week, that’ll be awesome :drool: Hopefully they put it in the late window and not on SNF.
 
Packers sure could do with peak Jordy nelson, Donald driver and clay Matthews
 
Horrible holding call pushed the Falcons back 10 yards there. Could decide the game as it went from second and medium to 1st and 20.
