Mike McCarthy had better not get crap for that call.

Agreed. The crap he should get is for his team losing to the Bengals, period.

I couldn't disagree more! I was talkin' to the teevee as soon as they made the call. Fumble or no, the right call is to take the 3 (assuming your kicker can make a 47-yarder) and make the other team drive the long field for the TD to win it. Brutal, arrogant call, IMO.

Eh, the Bengals' D is solid and the offense actually has some nice pieces. Dalton sucks, but Green/Sanu/Bernard/Gresham/Eifert can cover up how bad Dalton is pretty nicely. Plus, did you expect the Pack to be able to cover all those guys all game? I didn't. I thought that it would be a close one.

Awesome turn of events, the Bengals have built themselves a nice defense.

Arrogant call? WTF are you talking about?

Dunno, just struck me that way is all. To me, the conservative call in this case seemed so much smarter that the aggressive one looked arrogant by comparison. And it ended up costing him the game. :shrug:

You know, for being named after a kicker. Crosby has been horrible lately, on the verge of being cut.

You know, for being named after a kicker, you must not pay much attention to the kickers in the NFL. Crosby has been horrible lately, on the verge of being cut.
Ha! Fair point. I wasn't aware Crosby was that bad. If you can't trust your kicker to make a 47-yarder, my whole argument goes out the window.

Bengals are better than a lot of you are giving them credit for, especially on defense. Watched that whole game yesterday and if their offense hadn't turned the ball over 4 times in 9 plays they would've won that game handily.

Oh, and that flushing sound you hear is the Pack's playoff aspirations swirling down the bowl.

I don't see anyone really discrediting Cincy, at all in this thread. I think the general temperature of the Bengals, on this board, is that they are a very talents, young, and DEEP, team.

Yeah outside of that though you're right though I don't think "Dalton sucks" either.

Well, if we are nit picking, I don't think one person constitutes "a lot". :roll:
