What is the American translation of "donk"?

Dalton isn't a total clown. He's good enough to win in the regular season but not good enough to win in the playoffs. Cincy might be a juggernaut if they had a better QB.

It's basically a US term, so donkey?

Game was there for the taking, even after the ridiculous fumble ... Bernard was diving for a TD right?

QB for Bengals' last playoff W was Boomer Esiason.

for Chiefs - Joe Montana.

ouch

Being a Brown for 14 years, this was only SF winning kicker Phil Dawson's 2nd playoff game of his career.

He learned a lot from watching on TV every year!

As an AJ Green owner, I LOATHE Andy Dalton. Green (yes, I know, he did drop a gimme bomb yesterday) could put up monster numbers (even more than he already does) if he had another QB. As a Charger fan, I LOVE Dalton.

The Charger gameplan yesterday was perfect. Having Ingram back at linebacker is a huge boost and the secondary almost looks decent now. Hope Mathews isn't too dinged (Fluker, too). McCoy, Whiz and Pagano are getting the most out of this team. Can't wait for Sunday!

Green should have reached up to get a better play on the ball, but it was underthrown and a Charger DB got a hand on it as Green was trying to secure it.

The worst throw of the weekend was Alex Smith missing a wide-open Cyrus Gray running alone down the right sideline.
