Steelers at Bengals - AFC Wild Card Game

[Ross12]

Marvin Lewis has a pretty impressive one and done record. 0-6. Peyton would be proud.

Imagine a team coached by Lewis and QBed by Peyton?

A Lewis-Manning pairing would be epic... fail proportions.

God I hate Phil Simms

don't worry. Nance's butt-buddy Manning will be sitting alongside him in the next year or 2.

Awful playcalling by the steelers early

 

[Foxypats]

Might be a defensive battle this whole game. I hope it's a 9-6 type of game with a lot of bumps and bruises !

 

[GrogansArmy]

Another snooze fest - so far.

Next year Antonio Brown is gonna have 150 catches for 2200 yards

I can't stand listening to Nance after last week's serenade to Manning. He sickens me, too.

The Rapist looks like he's running from the cops after yet another sexual assault...er...phony complaint from a waitress at Denny's

Whoever had "7 minutes" on their "how many minutes until the first undisciplined Steelers player earns a flag for a stupid play" bet, please collect your prize at the desk.

Oh I would not go that far... conservative, yes.. but not awful. Both teams are feeling each other out early. They do not want to tip their hands, so to speak, too soon.

Steelers CBs are horrible

How is that supposed to make me not worry? :+(

I hope none of these players are allowing Roethlisberger to feel them out.

Flag-fest out there now.

Any bit of credibility he had was gone last week after his fap fest and the cherry on top was why he wouldn't take about the HGH allegations...

I'm cool with announcers having favourites, but don't make it seem so obvious...

What's the over/under on flags for this game?

Alright, time to scout the Bungles. Any guys any tips on how to do scouting like the pro's do from simply watching the game? Any tips would be appreciated.

Cincinnati has had some issues running the ball; specifically, Jeremy Hill had some fumbling issues and regressed from last year. Giovanni Bernard is a very capable 3rd down back and can get some nice yardage on screen passes. Pittsburgh's run defense is solid, so don't expect Cincy to get much going on the ground. That means the Bengals will need to rely on McCarron and the passing game.

Pittsburgh is down to their third string RB, so they won't do anything running the ball either. Pittsburgh's offense revolves around Roethlisberger throwing to Antonio Brown, but Cincy has done a better job than most in limiting Brown. In their two games this year Brown had 47 yards and 87 yards receiving.

Cincinnati is only giving up 17.4 points per game, second best in the league. With the exception of the loss to Baltimore, the Steelers averaged 34 points per game from Week 9 forward. Pittsburgh's pass defense, especially down the stretch, was not good at all.


This is a classic great defense/average offense versus great offense/average defense game.

Maybe that's what Felger was doing.

These ref's are so confused ! Are they consulting with Blandino ????? Lol
