NFL Wild Card: Bengals at Texans

[PatsWSB47]

Pretty funny that almost everyone's assuming the Steelers win tomorrow.

Shouldn't they?

 

[PatriotReign]

the real question is, how are we going to handle pittsburgh next week?

Indeed despite Pittsburgh being wounded I wouldn't count them out.

 

[PatsBoy12]

Keep Suggs and Ngata off of Yates, then yes.

I don't think that will happen.

 

[Off The Grid]

Frankly, I think we'll beat the crap out'f whoever wins tomorrow...

A win over the Ravens, on the other hand, is a serious undertaking.

 

[italia44]

Is that the same guy that dropped the interception right before Houston''s third touchdown?

.....better than dustin keller,last week(lol):rocker:

 

[PatsFanSince74]

Game Over! HOU-BAL & NE-DEN next week. imao

...

In our dreams DEN, but we did want the Jets last year and where did that get us?

With care…they have some serious injury issues and may have even more after the Denver game. I can see Polamalu breaking a clavicle diving headfirst to tackle Tebow.

Yeah, if we can beat the Steelers and Ravens on successive weekends, we'll deserve to be in Indy and have a whole boatload of momentum...but that's a pretty formidable "if."

Um, why wouldn't that be the case? Have you watched Tebow the past three weeks or so? He's looked like quite possibly the worst QB that anyone has seen in the league . . . and I'm a UF alumni who watched the guy play in person many many times saying this. I love the kid, actually. However, I can't deny that he's been putrid the past few weeks.

 

[PatsSox363804]

Watching the Texans defense I think they can beat Baltimore.

 

[JackBauer]

If Flacco plays reasonably well, I can't see the Ravens losing. Don't think they'll be able to run nearly as well and I am not sold on Yates.

 

[Warren1985]

It will be interesting against the Ravens but it wont be foster that wins it next week, because the Ravens will shut that down early!

I, for one, DID NOT want the Jets last season. In fact, I was scared sh*tless when I found out that that was the next game last season. I remember saying even before the playoffs started that I wanted to play anyone EXCEPT the Jets to my coworker.

Honestly, I'm not writing anyone off this season. With the Pats' defense, a loss to any team is realistic. I know the offense is great and we have perhaps the greatest coach/QB tandem the game has ever seen, but that may not be enough. With a defense that can't stop the faucet from running, whether it's personnel or coaching or whatever else, winning during this time a year is far far far from guaranteed.

Wow, Dalton saved his worst performance for the biggest game of the season. It just goes to show you that there is definitely truth to people saying that the playoffs are just different. It's a totally different atmosphere . . . it's faster and more intense.

Dalton is going to be a good one for years to come. Kudos to Cincy for drafting the young stud.

Some sources said that Jim Irsay wanted this guy for Indy but Polian finally drafted Castonzo

Personally, I don't think so:

1 ~ Denver's D is VICIOUS.

2 ~ Roth is HURTING.

3 ~ The combination could be CATACLYSMIC for the Steelers.

4 ~ There's a strong chance that this ends up being one of those 13-9 affairs.

5 ~ High Altitude is ROUGH. Denver's home field advantage is very real.

I've seen spinach that could play better QB than Tim Tebow for the first 3 Quarters...But he doesn't dig his team into holes...And, come Q4, he tends to excel at Taking What The Defense Give Him.

All in all, I see it as a 50/50 deal.

 

[JackBauer]

Well, this game has been nothing if not textbook Bungles. Can't trust 'em...ever.

 

[BradyToAmendola]

A shame that we end up the #1 seed and are rewarded with probably the best team in the conference.

ummmmm .. the best team in the conf is awarded the number 1 seed ... playa playa..

 

[DaBruinz]

Interesting tidbit from today's game. Houston doesn't play a Nickel defense. They play their base or their dime, leaving only Cushing on the field for LBers.

Very good game by Houston. Yates didn't make the mistakes that Dalton and Cincy did.

Dude, we would SLAUGHTER the Steelers!!
