I have concluded that Andrew Luck grew his beard to repel women.

 

[BwareDWare94]

Can we just cancel the rest of this game? Please? Cincinnati's offense doesn't even want to be here.

Why Cincinnati Will Win:  
 
1. Significantly Better Team

Well, they are. It's not my fault that they're all underperforming like a bunch of pussies. This Colts team moving on is completely pointless. They cannot beat Denver. It's not going to happen. Cincy has at least proven that it can.

 

[BwareDWare94]

How can a team that has so much going for it just fail once the postseason comes around? It makes absolutely zero sense.

Cincy wouldn't beat Denver at Mile High.

Its called not having a good quarterback
 
 
doesn't matter if indy has a worse LB core, or DBs. Luck is 100x the quarterback that Dalton is, and QB is the most important position in the game

The Bengals also played the NFC South. 
 
The AFC North as  whole went 12-3-1 against the NFC South, which inflated their records and created the most overrated division in football, by far.

 

[RipCity32]

Home and showered with an hour to spare for the Lions game. Yes

 

[RipCity32]

Also I feel bad for Benagls fans lol.

Dalton hasn't even been the problem, today, which is surprising. The WRs can't get any separation. The offensive line all of a sudden can't block for Hill or Bernard, and the Colts aren't very good against the run. Cincinnati can't touch Luck even though Luck's offensive line is very suspect. This is just pathetic.
 
How does a team damn near win 11 games and can't even muster a competitive effort against a sub-par playoff team?

Looks like he won't be able to be cut until 2017 at the earliest really, with 2018 being the logical year. SUCH a poor investment

 

[Pugz]

not funny

 

[RipCity32]

At least Marvin Lewis HAS to get fired now. Right?

12 years a coach, 0-7 in the playoffs.
 
 
I'd hope so

 

[RipCity32]

Said the same thing the last couple years though hah.

 

[Teagz]

This is gonna keep happening as long as the Bengals keep settling for mediocre play at the QB position.

 

[elcheato]

The possibility of Stafford, Luck, and Flacco all advancing in the same week. Bware's head might explode. Carolina beating Arizona didn't help his cause either.
