"I didn't know that," said McNabb, who played a leading role in keeping it tied. "I've never been part of a tie. I never even knew it was in the rule book. I was looking forward to getting the opportunity to get out there and try to drive to win the game. But unfortunately with the rules, we settled with a tie."

Chad Ocho Cinco on overtime: "It feels like a loss. I didn’t know, I thought you went until someone got a field goal or something. This is my first time being in this and I’ve been playing Madden for this, I haven’t even ended on Madden like that. I asked Coach Lewis if he’d ever been in this situation before. He said yes."

they think the OT clock is for then.

Eh, well, playoff games go into a 2nd overtime right? Or as many as needed. Maybe not on madden.

Yes, playoffs go for as long as they have to. Usually the team that wins the toss drives down and gets the field goal for the win. But that would require offensive competence, something which was apparently lacking in that game. I'm just happy I wasn't forced to see that game, sounded brutal.

One of the better bengal's games this year

It was nice to see our defense actually making plays. Our big problems are our o-line and ****-poor offensive play calling. As wikipedia puts it:

In third-down efficiency, Cincinnati's offense has been in the top 10 for four of the past five years. Unfortunately Bob forgot how to call plays after the 2005 loss to Pittsburgh in the Playoffs and now wears a helmet to work everyday while riding the short bus.

Sudden death overtime on your own 20 yard line. What should we do? Run the ball up the middle three times!

4th and sixteen? Go for it!
