NFL divisional round weekend -- No more Joshing around

Not exactly sure why the Bengals had such a chip on their shoulder about the neutral site game, if the Bills won. The NFL had to have it planned and ready to go well in advance of this week, and ticket sales had to have started. And most people who knew anything about football knew it wasn't a sure thing, that Cincy was gonna be one tough out.

Cincy wasn't hosting anyways. But I guess you have to make up even more reasons to be motivated, and then have more reasons to spout off afterward.

It makes it easy to root against those windbags now. Oh, and let's not forget that Joe Mixon once cold-cocked a woman in college. He's still a POS.

Was it the neutral site thing or that they were playing in Buffalo (genuine question because KC would be the No. 1 over Cincy even if the Hamlin Game was finished but Cincy never got the change to upend Buffalo for the 2 seed)?

The funny thing about it, is every playoff team with a chance to host the conference championship game had sold tickets to the conference championship game. I guarantee you the Bengals had in the event they and the Jaguars had won, the Cowboys had in case they and the Giants won, the 49ers had in the event the Eagles hadn't moved on. It's part of playoff packages for season ticket holders. Some teams even include playoff tickets as part of their season renewals when they go out in February or whatever. I get using it as a motivator, and not sure why the NFL made it public, but it is pretty normal for tickets to already be accounted for for these games before they happen.
