Bengals getting screwed hard by NFL.. [View all]

Now that we know that Damar is ok. Can we talk about the screw job the league just gave the Bengals?

Had the Bengals won a HOME game that they scored first were winning and about to go up by two scores...(which all point to actually winning the game, unless of course you are the Raiders) , the Bengals would be the #2 seed right now. With tie breaker of head to head wins over both the Chiefs and Bills. Chiefs would be 13-3 ahead of the other two at 12-4. Bengals #2 based on head to head win.

So, you would think that any potential game between the Bills and Bengals in the playoffs would be a neutral site (assuming both win this weekend) or a coin flip...nope Bengals you will play on the road.

To add insult to injury. The league is assuming the Bengals lose so that they can try to give the Ravens a home playoff game.

Not sure what dirt the Bills and Ravens have on Goodell but this is BS.
