Let us know if he actually follows up.

I can’t imagine many things more painful that aren’t major injuries. I tried to pluck a nipple hair once. Never tried that again.

It was quite the heave.

It was refreshing to see a team win at the end there. Higgins going down at the 5-10

The coach realizing that if he does anything other than knee knee knee the refs are going to fuck him

One holding penalty = about 35 seconds and that’s enough for Pit to get back into FG range

Last two minutes executed perfectly.

I was wondering if Tee/Cinci really had that specific scenario coached up, or if Tee just followed his heart and accidentally did the right thing there sliding down instead of scoring. Like, it was a VERY tight window, and he got it right.

1:39 left, opponent has 2 timeouts, and you have a running clock converting that first down. Opponent is going to take their second timeout, so you’ll have it 1st and Goal with 1:39. That means you get to run 40 seconds off twice (after second and third down, opponent takes last timeout after first down). So that’s 1:20, plus you get to kneel thrice for like 2 seconds each = 1:26 you can run off. Plus the FG time, so another 4 seconds. So you’re looking at leaving opponent ~10 seconds (turned out to be 7 I think when they milked the kneels). That is absolutely go down time.

But, if there were 10 more seconds on the clock, or if Pittsburgh had one additional timeout, going down would have probably been the wrong play.

I feel like that Bengals coach is a dummy so maybe they just got lucky, otherwise that was perfectly executed like you said.

Going down is surely the right thing, but that always makes me so nervous about a botched kick vs. just taking the lead when you can get it. Especially if you’re going to go up by more than a field goal if you go in the end zone.

It was obvious he could have easily made the TD. Not sure if sliding was planned or just a spur of the moment decision, but either way, it was good football knowledge…especially facing Aaron Rodgers.

Also, TIL:

He probably just hit a parlay on them last night or something.

I assume they said to not score in the huddle. The Chiefs call it “church mode” and Tyreek has talked about it before.

On the Westwood radio post game, Tee said the coaches sent in the tight end with the instructions to go down “around the 5” if the situation presented.

I saw a clip of a Cleveland sports radio guy going off, lamenting that the Browns traded Flacco, and to a division rival, no less!

I mean, dude, who fucking cares. The Browns weren’t going to be good this year. Flacco is 80. It’s not like he was going to lead your team to the playoffs and it’s not like he’s going to be some long-term savior for the Bengals. He’s a placeholder.

In fact, it’s probably better for the Browns that they traded him because he could do well enough in Cincy to drop them a couple spots in the draft.
