OT: SNF Bengals/Steelers game thread

[Disco Volante]

Disco Volante. do you know who #41 is in your sig.
Guy is getting rag dolled. kinda funny.
Could not find him on the 49er roster anywhere.

Couldn't find him either. : /

As Disco Violante said in another thread, the Bengals play a weak schedule after this game. If they can find a way to win (and they're off to a great start) they just might sneak into the playoffs.

Another way to look at the game, if the Steelers were to lose tonight that'd keep them a game ahead of the Browns. Then if the Steelers were to go 2-2 (Possible) and the Browns could somehow win their final 4 (Not a stretch) the Browns would have the division.

Steelers (8-4)
PIT @ NE
JAC @ PIT
PIT @ STL
PIT @ BAL

Browns (7-5)
CLE @ NYJ
BUF @ CLE
CLE @ CIN
SF @ CLE

Whatever the case, the Browns would need to win 2 more games then the Steelers in the final 4, due to the tie-breaker going in the Steelers favor.

I don't understand why Cincy won't run it on 3rd and short.

 

[Joker]

me three, Sey...just punch the ball at them

Holy hell I love this time of year! Nothing's funner then trying to figure out who goes on and who goes home.

I have this white board that I have the standings on and I was writing down the teams that would be in if the playoffs started today and the teams that are alive but on the outside looking it. There is a complete mess in the NFC with basically 1 spot up for grabs with 3 teams @ 6-6 and 5 teams @ 5-7. There are 8 teams fighting for 1 last spot.

Then you have the AFC where things are a little more complacent but then you have teams like Buffalo trying to make a run. December is such a cool month!

I almost forgot what it was like to do that with my team.

Who was that to Ben? That #2 passer rating is dropping fast

It'll probably be years until you can do it again.

Honestly, if the Steelers lose tonight, with their remaining schedule, I don’t see them being any better then 10-6. To get at least 11 wins they'd have to go 3-1 against the Pats, Jags, Rams and Ravens. Obviously the latter half being easier of course.

The Browns will be challenged by the Bills/Bengals, but if they can handle them they’ll be 11-5 with the division title.

Amazing how the tides have turned. After week 1 when Pittsburgh anhilated Cleveland 34-0, you would've thought Pittsburgh would run away with it and the Browns would pick first in the draft. With that in mind, the Steelers are still very much in this game right now.

Too bad the refs took a game from the Browns today.

 

[Disco Volante]

Yeah the Steelers will more than likely win this one, thus making everything I posted irrelevant really. >_>

 

[Joker]

forceout...poor Cleveland

 

[Skree]

Nasty fumble there Cincy

 

[Disco Volante]

Bengals back in the game!

 

[Joker]

Pitt is pulling a Polian, though

 

[Disco Volante]

Ah, yup.

Overturned.

 

[Jr.]

Parker has the butter fingers

 

[Disco Volante]

Seize the moment Cincy!

 

[Aqua4Ever04]

I traded Terrell Owens and Duece McAllister for Willie Parker and Donald Driver at the start of the fantasy year. Coming off a 1300 yard 16 TD season, I hearby deem Willie Parker this year's fantasy bust. HE'S KILLING ME!

 

[Keegs]

Palmer is playing horrible.

Good god

 

[Seymour93]

I hearby deem Willie Parker this year's fantasy bust.

Sorry, Mr. Frank Gore has won that award in a landslide.

 

[SVN]

roethlisberger is throwing the ball great.
