I absolutely love the aggressiveness in that moment and trying to not allow Mahomes to get the ball back. 

My beer vending buddies were standing around and watching the end, saying please be aggressive and don't give that ball back to them.

I’ll have to disagree on the 2nd down pass FC, Perine just got 6 yds on first down, if he had gotten only 2-3 ok, run it again I’d say, but the main thing is WWWWHHHHOOO DDDDDEEEEYYYY, great win!!!!  Not many QBs complete that pass on 3rd and 11, right EXACTLY where the ball had to be and Tee snagged it!!

Why run it again? Always easy to say should have ran it after seeing the end result. We have a stud QB, let him win the game for us. I have watched the Bengals be conservative in those situations for years. The clock was going to stop no matter because of the two minute warning. You are four yards from winning the game, I am absolutely fine with being aggressive and trying to let your franchise QB when the game in that moment. Now did he mess up by taking a sack, absolutely. However, I love that they put it in his hands instead of just doing the normal conservative thing most people expect. I don’t let announcers reactions impact my opinion on things, like with Romo originally freaking out at that moment. Which announcers reactions always seem to influence peoples opinions on things. 
 

Shoot the Bengals we’re just one dang yard away in the Super Bowl for a first down on third down, and they took it out of Burrows hands and handed it to Perrine. Which Perrine has been great, but at the end of the game I’m never going to be angry or upset about them putting the ball in Burrows hands and being aggressive to try to win the game. In the Marvin Lewis years it would have been run the ball all three times, kick the field goal and hope the defense stops the other team. 
 

I know we disagree on this, which is fine lol and Who Dey!  It’s just for me I will always love the aggressiveness and putting it in your franchise QBs hands at the end of the game.

Does Cincy officially have a RB controversy now?

No controversy at all. It’s not like a QB thing when only one can play and you have to pick one. This is a good thing, and means we have two good backs and should be able to keep them both fresh. Plus they are both use to sharing time together, because that is exactly what both did back in college at Oklahoma together. 

This one didn't count but wow!

More of a tongue in cheek comment from me.  I have no problem with them sharing the load as long as ego doesn't get in the way (more concerned for Mixon's attitude than Perine).

Some other positives about this game are the Bengals drove down right before half (but were stopped by Carlos Dunlap), there was the Boyd drop that would have been a TD, and the Bengals drove down the field at the end of the game.  Although none of those resulted in points they were all positives for the Bengals offense on the whole. 

The Bengals released Kevin Huber.

Drue Chrisman is the man now.

I think the only reason they kept Huber at all this season was so he could break Ken Riley's record for most games played as a Bengal.

The Who Dey chants after touchdowns are so damn loud this year.  You can tell there aren't as many opposing team fans in the stadium as years past.

Yes.

The last time Mixon played a full game he had 5 TDs.

 

It's good to have Perrine but let's not get too carried away.

Perrine won the "Angry Man" NFL Network "Good Morning Football" award from last week's game against the Titans and was 2nd place this week against the Chiefs.  Both plays were incredible stiff arms against opponents on sweeps to the left.  Sunday's stiff arm on Justin Reid was particularly satisfying.
