Seth's 50 Centers

Not cool, not cool at all!

Nationally, this tie is being viewed as the Eagles’ ineptitude given the ease with which many thought they’d beat the Bengals, but nobody reeks of ineptitude like those silly Bengals!

This one was ugly, to be sure, but the Bengals’ defense played so well it deserved a much better fate.

My friend Jeff was in the man cave watching with us and he made a comment about next season, if and when Carson Palmer is back, when the offense gets it together we should be OK given the improvements on defense.

Normally, that statement would be right on, but the Bengals aren’t normal! They’ve proven each and every season that if it’s not one thing, it’s quite literally another.

I’m sure if both the offense and defense got it together they’d set some sort of record for kickoff and punt returns against for touchdowns!

NFL Picks

We’ll count the tie as a big fat nothing, although feel free to choose “tie” for any game in the future. I bet you’d be the only one if and when it happens again!
