January 17, 201610 yr Refs missed a lot of calls. They were so bad they screwed up the coin flip going into OT. How do you toss a coin up and it does even flip when it hits the ground? Amazing.
January 17, 201610 yr Green Bay possibly should have gone for 2 after the Hail Mary. They had two minutes to talk it over.

Worst season I can remember for officiating... Worse than the replacement refs were... Maybe it really sticks in my mind this year, because all the "retired officials" and even current "head of officials" guys will be on tv or social media pointing out all the missed calls... It's really made games hard to watch... Too many flags and too many missed called by officials that are too inconsistent = hard to follow.

January 17, 201610 yr This is the third straight year that the Packers have been eliminated from the playoffs on the last play of the game, per Yahoo Sports.
January 17, 201610 yr Not trusting that WR Corp to be able to make a play there. Kick it every time Looking at it from a different angle. Best QB in the NFL, would you trust him to get you 2 yards?
January 17, 201610 yr Fun, fun game to watch. Palmer was just awful, but Fitz was unbelievable. Not many QB's can do what Rodgers did with truly no receivers is what puts him in a very elite cast of just a few.. Very true Palmer for most of the game. However as Bengal fans what is sad is even we can all admit Palmer didn't play well. However even with a dislocated finger on his throwing hand, he still had a better game in this game throwing for 350 yards and 3 tds than any of our qbs have done for the Bengals in the last 5 years. So that just goes to show how bad our qb play was most of these 5 years in the playoffs, that a bad game for him with a dislocated finger was still better than Daltons and even McCarrons performances in the playoffs.

And that being said, if our defense could ever hold a team below 150+ yards rushing... Dalton and McCarron both might have won one... Who knows?
January 17, 201610 yr Looking at it from a different angle. Best QB in the NFL, would you trust him to get you 2 yards? That was my thinking.
January 18, 201610 yr And that being said, if our defense could ever hold a team below 150+ yards rushing... Dalton and McCarron both might have won one... Who knows? True however this last playoff game even though the rush defense gave up alot of rush yards it didn't hurt. Defense held them to 15 before Hill fumbled it away.
January 18, 201610 yr True however this last playoff game even though the rush defense gave up alot of rush yards it didn't hurt. Defense held them to 15 before Hill fumbled it away. I just hope the Bengals took notes on this Denver/Pitt game... Don't fumble the ball and kick the FG... Denver won it in the exact fashion the Bengals should have... That's how close they were to getting it done. It's a shame.

That's how close they were to getting it done. It's a shame. No doubt! Watching these teams this weekend and the Bengals are right there with these teams. If they can ever find away to win that first playoff game, I think they would roll through the rest of the playoffs.
January 18, 201610 yr No doubt! Watching these teams this weekend and the Bengals are right there with these teams. If they can ever find away to win that first playoff game, I think they would roll through the rest of the playoffs. I hope so... Maybe next year! Unlike a lot of my friends, I do think they'll win at least 10 games and be in the playoffs again next season... Then, they just gotta play loose and try to have fun... They always play tight in the playoffs.

Because after that hit they weren't nervous anymore, they were ticked off and played playoff football. Well until the last 90 seconds! Ugh!
January 18, 201610 yr This game just reinforced what is so obvious but that the experts don't talk about much. Arizona won the game for one primary reason...luck. Palmer played incredibly badly most of the game and was lucky to not have thrown one or two more red zone picks. A GB DB flat out dropped one right in his hands and the TD to Floyd was a joke. Total luck...nothing else as usually a ball that is deflected like that gets picked. I really did not care who won that game but AZ seemed to get the breaks to me... The Hail Mary by GB was incredibly lucky too. I will give Rodgers A LOT of credit on that as very few QB's could have even gotten that pass off the way he was being chased to his left and had to throw it across his body...crazy! One thing that was NOT Luck was Fitz...total stud...love him... Not to mention the offensive pass interference that was not called on the Cards, great game, but I hate it when Carson Palmer wins anything, Period.
