Let that be a lesson to you Sturt. You don't beat Glenelg 3 times in a row in Grand Finals and get away with it.

Don't rate the Broncos that highly thought they were very ordinary both time the Raiders played and the Raiders should have beaten them both times.

Manning not as good as he used to be a bit more int prone these days. Could be an upset in the making!!!

That was all ego, not frustration. Makes you wonder how professional sportsmen in this era can let their egos be so big at the expense of the team. Sort of stuff we used to see in aussie rules and cricket in the 80s.

Bengals fans cheer when Ben Roethlisberger get carted off and beer is throw. Their fans are as undisciplined as their players but at least they turn up for the game as they are one of the worst fan bases in the NFL and they get the kind of crowd numbers during the season as Tampa and that is terrible for a team in the playoffs for 6 out of the last 7 years.

Maybe send them to London, the British Bengals?

WTF? Their stadium holds 65k and they average over 60k per game for all but one year in recent history in the city that has had the coldest ever NFL game on record!
And with a team that has never won a Superbowl or won a playoff in the last 25 years!
All NFL fans are feral, its hardly limited.

One of the strangest playoff games I can ever recall, literally a "wildcard" game.
For 3 qtrs we were clearly the better team. A drive just before halftime which had us in great field position should've been a touch down but only resulted in a field goal had me a bit worried - even though the Bengals only had 3 first downs the entire half. For all our dominance it was only 6-0.
Martavis Bryant's spectacular TD catch & the missed 2 pt conversion attempt made it 15-0 and it looked all but in the bag in the driving Ohio rain.
But Roethlisberger gets injured & goes off late in the 3rd and Cinci get a sniff. They start breaking lines and finding space. They make it count on the scoreboard too. Three straight FG's and the go ahead TD & it looks all over with less than 2 mins to play. The Steelers look spent and I'm hoping for something special. What happens next is beyond belief.
Landry Jones is intercepted by Burfict and the game is over. Well, the way the Bengals celebrated (running the length of the field & out the tunnel) they thought it was. Next play, Cinci fumble & give it back. Big Ben comes back on and with 1:30-ish to go & with 3 time outs up our sleeve, we're a silly chance to get within FG range. No need to worry, we're playing the Bungles - enter a double dose of ill discipline and it really is over this time, Pittsburgh's way.
Burfict is a grub - period. His helmet shot on Brown was a gutless cheap shot - 15yd penalty.
Enter "pacman" Jones, personal foul - 15yd penalty.
Boswell kicks the FG & the Steelers pull it out of the fire.
The Bengals were beaten between the ears before the game started. They whined to the refs all game, they taunted all game, and the final 2 selfish acts which cost them victory prove they still live in the Steelers shadow. A little more respect to an opponent that's been there & done it all numerous times, instead of tough talk & blatant disrespect might hold you in better stead.
25 years without a playoff win also remember.
So we'll limp in to Denver next week massive under dogs, but with a silly chance.

According to the statistics on espn, the bengals average 93.7% of capacity which put them at 24 out of 32. Green Bay has a bigger stadium and is over 100% full and Buffalo is at 95.6% and both are cold environment and bills has the longest period without being in the playoff.

Cincinnati is like St Louis, it is more of a baseball town than football

Look, I go for Tampa Bay which has the worst sports fans in both NFL and MLB (they are good in the NHL) and will lost one or two of their teams in the near future (especially the Rays)

So yes, crows, south and Tampa, I really know how to pick them, don't I

I'd say its impossible to have more than 100% of capacity!
Considering the climate and size of the stadium not to mention their history over 60k a game is impressive, not something to be put down.
Anyway, if they move to London the only custom made NFL stadium will be Tottenhams new stadium so it would be convenient for me :)
South run at about 5% capacity at Noarlunga, where do you want to move them out of curiosity?
And the Crows are well behind the Bengals, can we move them to Syria perhaps? :)

London, That was a joke, Joyce!

Another stupid thing that the NFL keep on talking about including increasing amount of games and moving back to LA

Where will they play initially? No way they can build a stadium in an offseason.

Even Levi Stadium took longer than that and it was half finished when they moved in.

LMAO at the Bungles. Those late penalties were unforgivable.

How oh how?

Both teams Defenses obviously dominated, but overall I thought we were slightly better team just about all game. Probably got lucky on the first field goal, but can't expect to win if we didn't put up points earlier when we had chances.
Most frustrating thing is the two most critical plays were f*ckups by Seattle that Wilson was able to recover, first the botch snap and pass that put them inside their 10 and led to the touchdown, second was just before their field goal when he managed to just throw it away before he was sacked that could have led to a 3 and 20+ around midfield, but instead was 3 and 10 at 30.

Green bay scored td on a no huddle hurry up offence and caught the redskins off guard and with too many players on the field. 7-11 Redskins way now early in the 2nd
