The New York Giants invent ways to lose games that no other team could even imagine.

I stand corrected.

The Cincinnati Bengals found a way to lose a game that not even the Giants could have imagined.

And it loks like Adam Jones has gone back to being Pac-Man again.

At the end if the 4th quarter, I kept thinking Don't Bengal this!

They Bengaled it.

The Vikings must have taken lessons from the Giants and Bengals.

The Vikings kicker after the game:

I had a brainstorm this morning, after talking about the events in last night's game with Mrs. Spiff.

When players do the cheap-shot hits like we saw late in the game, don't suspend them.

Just make them play a few games with leather helmets (or the modern equivalent, the padded headgear that ruggers wear) and no face guards.

Somehow, I think that might (literally) knock some sense into them.

It won't happen, but it's an idea.

Bengals fans threw water bottles at Big Ben as he was being carted off the field, nearly hitting him with one.

Where was Sam Wyche when they needed him?

You need to get the actual youtube.com url from your address browser along with adding the youtube tags to get a video to embed here....

I'm so used to direct embedding on my blog that it seems weird to have to grab the Bored's tags anymore...

I was very happy with a Steelers win, same as SteelersFan, of course. OK, not the same, he was happier.

But that throwing stuff at Ben, and those cheap shots that cost them the game -- I might have been happy if it had been the Evil Raiders winning.

And Pac-Man keeps on being Pac-Man:

“I know he was faking,” Jones told The Dan Patrick Show on Monday.

Jones, who tried to insist that Brown was barely hit in the head, claimed that Brown winked at Jones on his way off the field.

“I think he need a Grammy Award for that one,” said Jones, who previously offered to give Brown an Oscar.

That being said, someone needs to remind the game officials that they can throw people out. I've said before, this is one area the college game has it right. What happened would have been called "targeting" (subject to automatic replay review), 15 yards plus disqualification + part or all of the next game (depending upon when it happened).

Let's put it this way -- if the game officials have to stand out on the field between the 45s during warmups to keep trouble from happening, the only way to keep it from getting chippy is to throw an unsportsmanlike on the first player who looks at an opponent cross-eyed, and toss the next one.

I know that Jones is not the smartest man in the world, but does he seriously think that they give out Grammys for acting? I could give him the benefit of the doubt by assuming that he meant to say the similar-sounding "Emmy Award"... but screw him. Sideways.

Vontaze Burfict, whose targeting penalty started the whole mess at the end of the Bengals-Steelers game has been suspended for the first three games of the 2016 season. He will appeal. Regardless of whether the suspension sticks or not, he's still stuck with a case of terminal stupidity for trying that stunt in the first place.

Amateurs. Rank amateurs.

Follow the Buffalo Bills for decades like yours truly, then talk to me about creative losing...the Giants have hoisted the Lombardi trophy several times...once at the expense of my Bills. The two words "wide right" can still reduce us to tears...
