I just looked at the Bengals schedule and they haveanotherMonday night game against Denver the week after the 49ers. It's like the NFL is purposely fucking with them.
I'm guessing because Patrick Peterson got hurt and that upped the odds for a successful AJ Green TD pass to close out the game (which almost did happen). But you're right, they should have gotten the first down and drained the clock before going for the TD.
Cards/Bengals should be a good game. I hope the primetime Bungles show up.
Expect some Red Ryder trolling from the fans, our local sports radio guys have been clowning on about that all week and encouraging fans to bring signs to the game, etc.
As a Cardinals fan I can only hope that the Bengals will play this badly on Sunday night. After that game, I hope that Bengals win out (I'm counting on them to save us from another Pats Super Bowl!).
Looked like a fumble to me but I'm certainly not gonna bitch about the call going our way. Cards have been fucked on their fair share of calls this year so I'm cool with some makeup calls.
