One thing about him is that other than his Dad working for NBC, nepotism had nothing to do with him getting the gig. Take it from someone who worked in the industry, everyone graduates from college and immediately gets a job covering Notre Dame football and the Olympics for NBC. He did slum it at ESPN for a few years on NFL Sunday Countdown and NFL Live before returning to NBC to work on SNF. It's a very common career trajectory in broadcasting. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Is there a reason why the Bengals aren't blowing Baltimore out of the water tonight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Divisional game; it should be somewhat expected. I know it's always talked about with Tomlin-led teams, but don't ever count out a Harbaugh-led one either. They've been AFC staples for over a decade (and it's annoying). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike & Cris likened it to playing one of the service academies in college football in that their offense is hard to prepare for. As a Cincinnati fan whose team struggled against Navy every year, that's exactly what this feels like. 1. I hope this dispels the notion (along with Geno Smith, Brock Purdy and others this season) that the moment a starting QB goes down, the team's season is over. 2. Tyler Huntley was so fun to watch in college. Even as a Bengals fan, I'm glad he's doing well.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 That running into the kicker penalty was softer than the Giants roughing the passer penalty.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Ravens really lost their heads at the end there and still almost had a chance to tie. Could have been a wild finish! Instead it was just weird. Bills/Bengals is the right match for the second round, and as a fan, I'm feeling optimistic. Three great games today!

Rockstar Matt Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 That was almost an insane ending right there. Literally bounced off his hands. Next weeks Bengals-Bills is going to be an outstanding game. Now, I'm officially nervous as hell for tomorrow night. 2 Quote Cowboys - Lakers - LAFC - USMNT - LA Rams - LA Kings - NUFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Way too early thoughts on next week. AFC The Bills are going to make quick work of the Bengals next week. They won't be sleeping on the Bengals like they were on the Dolphins. In fact, the close game today may be the best thing to happen to the Bills in the playoffs. Going into the AFC title game last year, I said that Cincinnati is one of those weird match ups for the Chiefs and I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see them win the game. This year, I'm saying the same thing about the Jaguars playing the Chiefs. The Jags are the kind of team that can give KC fits. I'm not dumb enough to straight up predict a Jags win, but it wouldn't surprise me even a little if they do. A Jags - Bills title game isn't the stretch we think it is. I really like the Jags chances. NFC The Giants are playing on house money. Their season has wildly exceeded expectations already. They have nothing to lose, we don't know how healthy Hurts is going to be, and the Eagles faded a little in the last month of the season. I think the Giants give Philly all they can handle. Dallas and Tampa are playing for the right to get their asses handed to them by the Niners. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorWhom Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I had the feeling that Hubbard fumble TD was going to be the decider. With both defenses were playing, I think if the Ravens got it in, they would have won this game. Glad we'll finally get that Bengals - Bills game we Unforenetly didn't get 2 weeks ago. Overall pretty surprised by the games this week. People expected a lot of blowouts, and Seahawks - 49ers was really the only one (but even that was close at least in the 1st half) Jaguars with the all-time comeback to the Chargers all-time Chargering Even With Skylar Thompson Dolphins still gave the Bills a run for their money. Giants - Vikings was also a back & forth game, And Ravens - Bengals came right down to the end as well. If Dolphins & Ravens weren't playing their backup QBs, I honestly they they would have won their games. Cowboys - Bucs is a true Wildcard. If the Cowboys come out flat(which they have in quite a few against against inferior teams), Buc have a great of pulling out a win. But if they actually coming out strong, they could end up burying the Bucs and dropping like 40 on them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorWhom Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Considering I've always had a hatred for the Chiefs (even before Mahomes), I'd love to see the Jaguars pull off another upset and beat them. But my gut tells me it will be another boring Chiefs blowout win. Out of the teams left; Chiefs, Eagles & Giants are the only teams I don't want to see win the Super Bowl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's entirely possible that the Brock Purdy story is just getting started. He wouldn't be the first QB to come out of nowhere and put together a successful NFL career. In fact, I think your Bucs have a guy at QB who wasn't considered to be much of anything when he got drafted in the 6th round. Things ending up working out pretty well for him. He managed to become the second best QB of all time. And no, I'm not saying Purdy is the next Montana or Brady. (but you never know) All I'm saying is the kid might go on to a successful NFL career. I miss the days when everyone would root for a story like Purdy's. These days, people just fixate on waiting for the other shoe to drop. My way is more fun. Anyway, a playoff loss isn't necessarily the end of the Brock Purdy story. I think it's safe to say that if nothing else, he's earned himself a roster spot with the Niners for another season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
