i took the raiders; i was banking on the broncos not being able to win forever nd the raiders rising up to take care of their biggest rival. wrong on both counts.

Yeah, you picked the wrong team to take away the Broncos winning streak. haha

sorry shape, y'all played valiantly (except for all those dropped passes, dropped picks and wasted timeouts), but there wasn't much y'all could do in the face of tony "im totally awesome even though i basically get sacked the second i take the snap cus my line sucks and we can't run either" romo. defense made key stops. but seriously, good game; if i were dalton, id be pissed.

nice to get it after yesterdays events. please cowboys, grieve, take care of yourselves and honor jerry's memory.

Yeah, I'm not too upset due to the tragedy that happened, but I turned the game off after Nelson hit Bryant which made him fumble the ball and make it an incomplete pass therefore making it 4th down...but NO, they call a helmet-to-helmet on Nelson on the CLEANEST hit I have ever seen. After that I turned the game off...so I'm guessing they won at the last minute?

We played exceptionally well, but we had WAY too many dropped passes and interceptions. Even Green, himself, had 2 dropped.

I'm not mad at all. The team played their ass' off...however, Marvin Lewis FUCKED us in our ass by calling 3 timeouts within one quarter in the SECOND HALF.

Overall, good game.

i agree that call on y'all was bullshit, but so was the drive extending callagainst us earlier, where yer dude's head fell into ours. everything evens out in the wash...

Ah, come one now...that was clearly a helmet-to-helmet. It turned Jones' helmet sideways. They'll call that every time. But Nelson's hit was one of the cleanest hits I've seen. They're already discussing it on ESPN Radio. One analyst even said; "bring back the replacement refs, because even a college ref could've seen that that was as clean as a hit you'll get out of a defender, it was just a BS call that cost them the game." haha I can see that being blown up into something controversial.

while i agree there was contact, our player was just trying to go past yours, he wasn't trying to make a tackle or do anything. and, as it was, yer guy was falling down and towards the path of our player. now, that still may be in the letter of the law as illegal, but it sure is ticky tacky and lame. i think y'all had another bogus personal foul called on a hit against dwayne harris, but like i say, that shit goes both ways over the course of a game.

But (as of always) more so for the Bengals.

We can't lose another game. I don't see us being able to get the last wild car spot as 9-7. I schedule isn't easy, either:

Philadelphia
Pittsburgh
Baltimore

It's going to be a tough road to the playoffs.
