One thing I've thought about today is, I think we should have tried to score a td on that drive. We had it inside the 20 y not just Keep pushing? Like Dallas did.. Idk it's hard to get a grasp on how to feel about a tie

Difference between the 2 is Dallas needed a TD to lock it up. A FG would of won for us. Our FG was 34 yards. Basically an extra point. 94% success rate.

I had no issue with kicking it and going home. Just didn't work out that way

Yeah and if you keep going for the TD everyone would go completely apeshit if you were to loose a fumble.

Sucks to miss a FG like that but it happens.

Agreed 100%, kicking it on 3rd down was a really good call.

That one is just on Hopkins caving under pressure (I have to say about 70% of the 84 488 people in Wembley were booing him pretty hard on his second attempt... you know... the one he miserably failed... the one that cost us the gaaaameeeaaaarg. Sorry).

The only thing I would of changed. Is after the timeout by Marvin Lewis. I would of put my offense back out there like I was going to run a play now and try to lure defense offsides. Worse thing that happens is you call a timeout and put Hopkins back out there just to break the ice.

I'm not sure. He had just made the practice kick and your idea would have the effect of icing him longer.

It was a bad miss. Period. On to the bye!

Chances are you wont draw them off, and than you are in essence icing the kicker yourself. I dont think it breaks the ice i think it thickens it. Just a longer time to think about it.
But hey in retrospect anything different seems good. Lol. Ill never get that kick out of my head. I know it was not the super bowl but it was London. Different type of football sunday - up early. Only game on. It was right before the bye so you get two weeks of victory celebration. Damn.

A tie is like standing in two inches of brown water to relieve yourself in a gas station rest room.

31st in red zone on offense

29th on 3rd down for defense

There you have it! Improve in those two areas and we can win more games.

On mnf halftime they haven't shown any skins highlights all season unless it's a loss... Getting freaking ridiculous

Watching the game again, I think we didn't emphasize how good the O-line played! Pass protection was really great, although Cincy was blitzing a lot. Good job on the running game, 3.2 yards/attempt with only 31 attempts isn't bad, is it?

We are averaging 24.8 attempts per game (20th in the league) and 4.5/attempt. (7th in the league). So generally, we rush less than most teams but do so more effectively than most teams. The league median is 4.2 yards per attempt. Only Minnesota averages less than 3.1 per attempt.

How much of that do you think is on the absence of Matt Jones?

Certainly some. Fat Rob left some yards on the field, but that's his first NFL start and he is a rookie. I thought for both instances, he did a damn fine job. I thought he showed a better instincts, ran better between the tackles and was more decisive.
