Football **** Official "McDaniels-free zone" Cincinnati @ Houston playoff game thread ****

Go Bengals.

JD10367 · 01-07-2012, 03:04 PM

I'm interested to see how this game goes. On the one hand you have a strong Texans team without a QB; on the other hand you have an upstart Bengals team with a young QB (first rookie later-round QB to start a playoff game since 1970 or something like that).

As a Patriots fan, I'm rooting for Cincy for two reasons: 1) it guarantees they come to Foxboro instead of potentially facing the Steelers, and 2) it sets up a great drama scene of Ocho--who's been useless all year--watching his former team make the playoffs and come to town. Does Ocho explode for 8 catches and 150 yards to kill his former team? Does his former team shove the dagger into his heart by beating the Patriots?

2nd round is considered late?

Cinny +4 and the over 38

First playoff game in Houston since the Chiefs beat the Oilers.

Sorry, that was in reference to Houston's Yates.

Oh.

I find that statistic to be quite shocking, tbh.

Really? I kept bringing this up when we were talking about Stanzi. I don't think there's a 5th round rookie QB that has ever done anything in the modern history of the NFL. Yates might honestly be the most successful, and he had a rough finish. Most all of the successful late round QB's sat at least a year or two and learned.

I looked at the history of QBs drafted in the 5th round recently. Only one of them(I think Josh Johnson in Tampa) has done anything.

The only reason Yates is starting is because 2 guys went down before him.

No one is beating the Pats in the playoffs this year.

NO ONE!

Thanks for nothing Gif

I like both teams.

It's going to be tough to choose one but I'll go with Cinci.
