A tie? What the fuck? ---

> [@garygnu](#): > > A tie? What the fuck? Man, you have to try really hard now in the modern era for one of those. You look at those standings in years “way back when” and there were plenty of ties in the team standings but the last one I can remember recently was Eagles and McNabb’s “I didn’t know that could happen” a few years ago. ---

> [@Intergalactic\_Gladiator](#): > > Man, you have to try really hard now in the modern era for one of those… Since both kickers missed game winners, and a variety of other miscues happened, I’m not sure “try hard” is the right term. :smack: ---

> [@Airman\_Doors\_USAF](#): > > Not nearly as good as the chances that it was Andy Reid’s last game. Seriously, if he doesn’t get canned after today the owner really hates the fans. Andy Reid has done enough to deserve a graceful exit and to coach out his last season if he chooses. I just don’t understand why he’d want to. He can’t be having any fun. ---

That’s Cincy’s season. Beating the Giants today was good - but it doesn’t do much more than make up for the loss to Cleveland a couple of weeks ago. > > Like I said, the Bengals have the potential to be a better team, but they haven’t put it together yet. I’d be surprised if the finish better than 8-8 this year. Prepare to be surprised! **crosses gingers** , er…fingers. ---

Funny thing about that, Vick could have told McNabb about the tie rule. He played in a tie game vs. Pittsburgh in 2002. ---

Even though I’m a Texans fan, I’d like to see them hook up against the Bears again soon on a dry field and let 'em go at it. They were pretty evenly matched physically so let’s see what happens when wet balls and poor footing don’t come into play. Marshall and Foster would both benefit and we’ll let the rest fall out where they may. Hopefully that’ll happen in the playoffs this year. ---

Steelers are overwhelmingly favored for tonight. As I always say, that makes me nervous - also, it has been a weekend of upsets. But I still suspect we’ll have another in the W column by the end of tonight. Still _any given Sunday_ (or Monday night as it were) as the saying goes. ---

So Adrian Peterson has to be near the top of the list of greatest recoveries from sports injuries of all time, right? ---

I shouldn’t be surprised that the **Giants** lost to the Bengals. It’s been par for the course these past few years that Big Blue blows 4 or 5 of its final regular season games, squeaks its way into the playoffs, then marches right to the Super Bowl. I think they’re exhausted. At least they finally have their well-deserved bye next week. And with Philly self-imploding, we can relax knowing the only threat left is the Cowgirls, who can’t seem to beat us on their best day. I may end up eating those words come the divisional, but we’ll see. ---

Didn’t they already beat you _this year_? ---

For those of you who don’t know who he is, DT Geno Atkins of the Cincinnati Bengals is quietly putting together another Pro Bowl season in this, his second year (he went to the Pro Bowl last season too). Dude is a beast…he has 8 sacks already so far. ---
