That POS nearly did irreparable damage to this young squad. They’ve bounced back nicely under Douggie Ps leadership.
Sources: Bengals livid coin might pick playoff site
Many in Bengals organization remain livid at NFL's decision that could let a coin flip take home-field advantage from Cincinnati, sources told ESPN.
Sources: Bengals livid coin might take away home-field edge
Bengals coach Zac Taylor already has voiced his opposition to the NFL's new playoff scenarios, but many in the Cincinnati organization are livid about a decision they feel penalizes the Bengals and rewards the Ravens, per sources.
The league told Cincinnati it should be happy it has been declared the AFC North winner, but the Bengals were furious the rules were changed on the fly and their playoff path intentionally altered.
If the Bengals had beaten the Bills on Monday night in a game that was ultimately canceled after the cardiac arrest of Buffalo safety Damar Hamlin, Cincinnati might not have had anything to play for Sunday and could have opted to rest some players. Now the Bengals have to win Sunday to avoid a potential coin flip that would determine the site of next weekend's possible wild-card game against Baltimore, and they will have to play players who otherwise might not have been out there.
The Bengals could become the first NFL team to win its division yet open the wild-card round on the road.
As a result, the Cincinnati organization feels as if the Ravens have been given enhanced opportunities that the Bengals were not and believes it has been treated unfairly by the league. Cincinnati voted against the new playoff scenario that other NFL owners approved on a Zoom call Friday. The Bengals not only voted no but also voiced their intense opposition to the league -- to no avail.
Bengals executive vice president Katie Blackburn is on the competition committee, which approved the scenarios Thursday. In a memo obtained by ESPN's Seth Wickersham, Blackburn urged teams to vote against the scenarios. Her reasoning stemmed from the timing of a rule change in this scenario away from the standard of winning percentages.
"The proper process for making rule change is in the off-season," Blackburn wrote. "It is not appropriate to put teams in a position to vote for something that may introduce bias, favor one team over another or impact their own situation when the vote takes place immediately before the playoffs."
There are also multiple scenarios in which the AFC Championship Game could be played on a neutral site. All three possibilities include the Chiefs and Bills, but the Bengals could factor into the equation if Kansas City and Buffalo both lose Sunday and Cincinnati wins. If Week 18's games shake out like that, a Bills or Bengals vs. Chiefs championship game would be at a neutral site.
The Chiefs close out the regular season at Las Vegas on Saturday. The Bills make an emotional return home to host the New England Patriots on Sunday, with commissioner Roger Goodell expected to be in attendance, a source told ESPN's Dianna Russini.
They both always had obvious talent but Engram had too many games where he had stone mittens for hands & Toney spent more time on the injury report than on the field

Broncos get OK to interview Payton for HC job
The Denver Broncos requested and received permission from the New Orleans Saints to interview Sean Payton for their head coach position, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Saturday.
Sources: McVay's future as Rams coach in limbo
Sean McVay's immediate future as the Rams' head coach is in limbo, sources told ESPN.
Sources: Sean McVay's future as Los Angeles Rams coach in limbo
Those sources believe McVay will take some time after Sunday's regular-season finale against the Seattle Seahawks to determine whether he will return in 2023.
McVay has gone back and forth on the decision and needs time to get away to process all that has transpired over the past year: winning a Super Bowl, being courted to work in television, getting married, watching his wife's home country of Ukraine invaded, losing his grandfather and then coaching a team that has fallen short of its expectations.
Los Angeles is 5-11 -- the first time since the Rams hired him in 2017 that McVay will have a losing record as a head coach. The defending Super Bowl champions have been decimated by injuries, and sources believe it has taken its toll on McVay. Sources believe McVay needs time to recharge and to determine whether he has the energy to continue coaching next season.
McVay, as always, is expected to have options: He could draw interest from networks -- as he did last offseason from Amazon -- but many of those jobs already have been filled.
McVay, 36, told reporters Friday that interest from the networks comes in part because he hasn't "run away from the fact that down the line, or whenever that is, that's something I've been interested in."
McVay is under contract to the Rams through the 2026 season, but if he were to step away, the contract would toll and he would remain under contract to Los Angeles, just as Sean Payton remains under contract to the New Orleans Saints.
Through a Rams spokesman, McVay declined comment to ESPN on his future or his plans for 2023.
McVay will close out his season in Seattle against a Seahawks team that needs a win to have a chance to make the playoffs, with one of the irony of ironies: All season long, since the Lions own the Rams' 2023 first-round pick, Detroit has rooted against Los Angeles. But the Lions need the Rams to beat the Seahawks on Sunday to give Detroit a chance to advance to the postseason.
Former Lions quarterback and current Rams signal-caller Matthew Stafford was eligible to come off injured reserve on Saturday, but Los Angeles opted against activating him.
You ain’t shit
