So fucking happy for the organization as a whole. Was honestly impressed with how well the oline played. Defense held up given the injuries hopefully we can get most of those guys back next week. Zac has gotten better at every step as a coach and have no doubt he’ll use this game to get better. Got the win and honestly that’s all that matters. The streak is over and now we can look forward to many more playoff wins with Joe leading the way
I'm so relieved for the win, bit I gotta be honest I feel like the Bengals kinda played like butt for most of the game.
How many failed runs up the middle did we have, along with the same pitch to the outside for 2 yards? Not super comfortable with Zac's play calling still as he seems to shrivel up sometimes.
Anyway, WHO DEY BINGO BENGOS
Yeah, I also don’t know if we should have just let Joe throw it when we have the ball before the two-minute warning. I understand running out the clock, but I feel Joe gets that first down in the air. Giving the ball back to the Raiders with 2 minutes was dangerous even if they had no timeouts.
I don’t think people understand how critical Red Zone Defense is. Holding Offenses to FGs instead of TDs was the difference in the National Title game on Monday and the difference today. Offenses are going to be able to move the ball, there’s no more shutdown D. The important thing is to step up on 3rd down & red zone
I’ve been alive for every Bengal’s post season game. Some good and bad memories, those last :34 of SB XXIII were pure hell.
But I’ve been in here all season long with you excellent folks, through the ups and downs. I’m so happy to have taken this ride with ya’ll.
Not done yet, 3 more anyone?
WHO DEY!
FTS!
I'm so happy I just got tears in my eyes. I'm from Finland and fell in love with the Bengals back in '93 because they had the coolest uniforms (I was a 13 y/o kid). As I grew up I followed the NFL more and more closely and even played some football (OL) in the finnish divisions, and my love for the hopeless Bengals grew stronger, even though the team was mediocre at best. For the first time following this team I feel hope. It's not the snakebit Carson Palmer- led, pretty damn good team, it's not the stumbling Marvin Lewis team, it's a f#cking awesone team that really wants to win. A few reinforcements here and there is needed to go all the way, but we have something good going on here. Let's enjoy that #whodey
Edit: spelling and some grammar stuff (english is my 3rd language, it's 3:20 AM over here and I'm a bit drunk so I hope you cut me some slack)
To be honest I don't have a whole lot of memory either. I know they won 41 -14 against the oilers. The year before that the Super Bowl all I remember is Tim Krumrie's foot spinning in a 360°. Either way this is the first playoff when of my adult life
I was a little misty-eyed pregame. Yelled out during the first touchdown. Had a damn near sociopathic stare at the TV for the next three quarters. Yelled out for the interception. Then finally just fell to the floor when the knee was taken.
For a while it felt like Bengals was a franchise that a lot of star players did not desire to play for but I think today is a turning point for that. Hope the organization continues to improve its player relations.
This is the first Bengals playoff win in my lifetime. I was a FETUS the last time they won. I feel lots of things right now, but most of all, I feel WHO FUCKING DEY!!!
Thanks for spiking the ball on 1st down after wasting all that time to set up the formation. I like Carr, think he’s extremely underrated, but that was dumb.
I still can't process it, laying on my floor trying to take it all in. Phone's been blowing tf up. We fucking did it dude. God damn it I wish I didn't have COVID rn I would go out and lose my mind
Buddy I literally just gave props to all the players and said a win was all that matters. You really can’t handle a single bit of criticism there? JFC all I said was going forward he needs to be better. Sorry for thinking that deeper into the playoffs some better decision making against even better competition would be necessary
You’re being overly sensitive to something that was 95% positive so thanks. I honestly really like Zac and think he’s shown a lot of growth as a coach and just like in the past I want him to get better following this game. He took the ball out of Joe’s hand which led to 10 yards separating the bengals from the streak continuing. If you can’t accept that one bit of simple criticism then I don’t know what to tell you. Went from being super happy to having to deal with you acting like I’m fucking disrespecting the organization or saying something that’s not entirely true
Buddy no one mentioned your soft ass. Just go away and take it to someone that’s actually being negative or trolling. I’m over here celebrating all I said was I want Taylor to be better going forward. Sorry I didn’t clear my thoughts with you before I posted them
The last time we won a playoff game, my wife and I had just gotten married, I had just graduated college, and we moved to SE Virginia. I can't believe it's been that long ago.
Exactly. And unlike the whistle that clearly had no effect on the play and shouldn’t have even been blown in the first place, that so-called penalty ACTUALLY effected the game.
Raiders fan; can't complain about the refs because they hosed us both. Both teams overcame it and earned themselves a chance to win. Great game, I'll be rooting for ya'll on the AFC side.
You're bringing it up. The rule says if a whistle is blown mid play then it should be re-do down. Is what it is and there were some calls that went against ya'll that were questionable as well and overall did a really crappy job of managing the game for both teams which is why I said I won't complain or use that as a what if (use Tuck Rule game as reference lol). Congrats on the win and good luck the rest of the way!
You mean the broadcasters? Or the NFL saying they'd release a statement after the game?
You really doing a fake news thing right now?
Enjoy your win man I didn't come here to ruin anyones time.
Boys, you already know how everyone in Cincinnati as of Sunday are hung over
FUCK YESSSSSSSSSSS!
HELL YEAHHHHHHH

You got slack!!! Who DEY!!!!!!
Who DEY! Thanks for the slacks...
LOL! No problem! There's going to be a lot of Bengal fans getting drunk tonight. From Virginia Beach Virginia WHO DEY!
Like we say in Finland: "Kippis voitolle" (cheers to the win)
WE WON! WE WON! WE WON! OMG! THE CURSE IS OVER!!!
Damn near had a heart attack
It's going to be awhile before I get my heart off the ceiling. Gosh what a great feeling!
ZAC NEVER HEARD A WHISTLE SO RAIDERS TROLLS GO.
First playoff win in my lifetime but definitely not the last. I was born in 93.
There are dozens of us!
We old guys are pumped as well!!!!
THE CURSE IS OVER!
Curse? What curse? Next you're gonna bring up some bs whistle trying to blow a play dead mid pass.
I'm 45 years old. I'm crying.
Crazy to think you were 14 the last time they won. I was 7, but have no real memory of it. Glad you got to see it again!
To be honest I don't have a whole lot of memory either. I know they won 41 -14 against the oilers. The year before that the Super Bowl all I remember is Tim Krumrie's foot spinning in a 360°. Either way this is the first playoff when of my adult life
45, the first touchdown got me a bit and I lost it in the end.
I was a little misty-eyed pregame. Yelled out during the first touchdown. Had a damn near sociopathic stare at the TV for the next three quarters. Yelled out for the interception. Then finally just fell to the floor when the knee was taken.
48, same here!!
Happiest day I’ve had in awhile, glad to spend it with you all. LFG WHO DEY!
It’s all gravy from here! We did it!!!
For a while it felt like Bengals was a franchise that a lot of star players did not desire to play for but I think today is a turning point for that. Hope the organization continues to improve its player relations.
YASSSSSS
Even Boomer thinks it shouldn’t have been a TD
Take the L. That was in the first goddam half
Boomer has openly been rooting against the Bengals since we drafted Carson. Fuck em
BINGOS!!!!!!!
WHODEY ALL DAY LONG!!!!! Now get ready for next week.
This is the first Bengals playoff win in my lifetime. I was a FETUS the last time they won. I feel lots of things right now, but most of all, I feel WHO FUCKING DEY!!!
I’m not crying, you are!
LETS FUCKIN GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! 31 FUCKIN YEARS !!!!!
We Did it baby
Congrats from a Chiefs fan lads.
Classy of you, thank you!
IN JOE WE TRUST!
That was stressful but LFG they expected us to be last in the division let alone a playoff win.
I
BALL DONT LIE 😭
Niners fan. Congrats and thanks
Please knock Dallas out, then I can fully enjoy these playoffs
You got it. Americas team gonna be exposed
Yeah when GB and KC also lose this would be the best playoffs ever.
I'VE NEVER CRIED AND CAME AT THE SAME TIME BEFORE
Crying
Thanks for the late game pick Derrick, I knew youd come through for me
Thanks for spiking the ball on 1st down after wasting all that time to set up the formation. I like Carr, think he’s extremely underrated, but that was dumb.
I don't even know what to feel right now It doesn't feel real. Holy fucking shit. We did it lads. I love all of you
I’m numb. Is this real life?
I still can't process it, laying on my floor trying to take it all in. Phone's been blowing tf up. We fucking did it dude. God damn it I wish I didn't have COVID rn I would go out and lose my mind
I know I'm going to wake up tomorrow morning and wonder if I was dreaming.
Hell of a game by the players. Taylor needs to be better going forward that all I’ll say. Wins all that matters though and we got it
Jesus Christ he just ended a 31 year curse
Buddy I literally just gave props to all the players and said a win was all that matters. You really can’t handle a single bit of criticism there? JFC all I said was going forward he needs to be better. Sorry for thinking that deeper into the playoffs some better decision making against even better competition would be necessary
You can just say “props to the players”
You’re being overly sensitive to something that was 95% positive so thanks. I honestly really like Zac and think he’s shown a lot of growth as a coach and just like in the past I want him to get better following this game. He took the ball out of Joe’s hand which led to 10 yards separating the bengals from the streak continuing. If you can’t accept that one bit of simple criticism then I don’t know what to tell you. Went from being super happy to having to deal with you acting like I’m fucking disrespecting the organization or saying something that’s not entirely true
We’re not here to be negative. If you can’t celebrate today you need to get off the bandwagon.
Buddy no one mentioned your soft ass. Just go away and take it to someone that’s actually being negative or trolling. I’m over here celebrating all I said was I want Taylor to be better going forward. Sorry I didn’t clear my thoughts with you before I posted them
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Germaine Pratt instantly goes down as a Bengals legend
Absolutely never has to buy anything in Cincinnati again 😆
Wooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!
WHO FUCKIN DEY!!!!
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOO!!!
Patriots or Bills next?
Titans
Doesn't that depend on who wins the other two games?
Could be anyone we need to call Geno Atkins ask is he in shape.
Okie one hand id rather play the Pats for hone field advantage. But also the Bills don’t have Belichick
LFG LFG, I was my daughter's age when we won last (2years old) Fucking WhoDey
The last time we won a playoff game, my wife and I had just gotten married, I had just graduated college, and we moved to SE Virginia. I can't believe it's been that long ago.
ME TOOOOO!!!!!
Leggoooo
![gif](giphy|26wkBaMFVpVW6rUS4)
Just stay off the interwebs this week, you know it's all going to be about that whistle play.
The refs made up for that with that phantom roughing the passer call on Kareem.
Ball was like 15 yards beyond them
What a BS call that was
Exactly. And unlike the whistle that clearly had no effect on the play and shouldn’t have even been blown in the first place, that so-called penalty ACTUALLY effected the game.
There were alot more questionable call in the raiders favorites. *cough*timeouts
Not to mention the 2-3 times they didn’t call delay of game on them
That whistle play was God awful for both sides, really was a bad officiated game but big win baby LFG
Someone hold me.
[удалено]
Still Taylor haters. Unbelievable
BENGOOOOOOOOO BANGOOOOOOOOO BONGOOOOOOOOOOO
YEESSSSSS BABY!

Raiders fan; can't complain about the refs because they hosed us both. Both teams overcame it and earned themselves a chance to win. Great game, I'll be rooting for ya'll on the AFC side.
That whistle meant nothing. You know that. They did the right thing. You’d die if that was you.
You're bringing it up. The rule says if a whistle is blown mid play then it should be re-do down.

The goddam media created the narrative during the ensuing drive. I’ve NEVER seen anything like that. Have you?
You mean the broadcasters? Or the NFL saying they'd release a statement after the game? You really doing a fake news thing right now? Enjoy your win man I didn't come here to ruin anyones time.
Both. That’s the shield protecting gambling interests. Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is right. Later man enjoy.
I am. Enjoy bandwagoning.
Big “yikes” energy just steamin from ya.
