I want the Steelers to win so the Browns have something to play for in Week 17. Ruining Pittsburgh's playoff hopes. Steelers by 10.

Steelers don't lose games like this. Gotta think they come out motivated and win by 3 to 7. If the Bengals want to make the jump they have to win this one.

Boo you guys lol. Cincy by a field goal. Maybe Marvin won't coach like Marvin for once.

I'm sure Antonio Brown will make 3 massive errors and then Cincy will win.

I still don't trust Marvin Lewis in must win games... That being said, the Defense needs wrap & tackle every time they get a hold of Ben & the Offense cannot have long drives stall like they have been all season. A win & 1 more Jets loss & Cincy clinches a playoff spot. Would not have guessed that when they were 3-5

It's kinda funny how similar the season has been for CIN and PIT. Both lost a game they wish they had back (CIN to MIA, PIT to TEN). Both lost to the Browns, when they usually dominate them. Both lost close ones to Dallas. It's hard to not like Pittsburgh at home, but if I had to go on how the teams have been trending, the Bengals are playing better football.

If pissed helps you hold onto the ball....then great.
I look for Antonio Brown to be huge. He lost the game for the Steelers and no one will convince me otherwise.
The teams Pittsburgh has lost to this year....they don't deserve a sniff of the playoffs....not even a 30 point loss at Denver in the first round.
It's fuckin sad the Steelers/Browns game the final week won't mean a god damn thing for this year....well except the battle for last.

Interestingly enough, with a New England win tonight, the Ravens are locked into the 4th seed. They may not do much week 17.

Don't forget losing to the effin Titans!!!....oh and an ass-kicking at home by the Chargers 5-9 Chargers.
The Bengals have not sucked ass against terrible teams nearly as much as the Steelers this year.

He was an absolute goat. He definitely blew the game today. I haven't been impressed with him this season. He puts more effort into showboating than anything else. It's nauseating.Ironman92;1344902 wrote:If pissed helps you hold onto the ball....then great.

The Bengals have set us up for disappointment yet again. Like sheep we are being led to another December slaughter.
Steelers 27-7

They might lose, but they won't get blown out. They won't be held to 7 points. Outside of opening day, even the "quality losses" Cincy has had, they have been right in the game with Pittsburgh, Denver and Dallas.swamisez;1345013 wrote:The Bengals have set us up for disappointment yet again.

While I agree with Azubuike that they won't get blown out, I do have a hard time believing the Bengals will win against either the Steelers or Ravens. Why would anyone have an extraordinary amount of confidence in them? But I will still be watching and rooting for them.swamisez;1345013 wrote:The Bengals have set us up for disappointment yet again.

Losses to Oakland, Tennessee, and San Diego have cost the Steelers this year. They are an average team with only a couple of quality wins. They are not worthy of a playoff spot.

Steelers starting to implode and will suffer another loss.
At this point I just hope they dont tie the browns for last place in the division.

If the Ravens lose to the Giants next week and the Bengals beat the Steelers, week 17 will be for the division. So, the Ravens have clinched a spot, but not the division.Azubuike24;1344903 wrote:Interestingly enough, with a New England win tonight, the Ravens are locked into the 4th seed.

Yeah. I remember this early-season game where they had a dealie about the WR group and how they've all given each other "money" nicknames like "EZ Money" and all that.killer_ewok;1344975 wrote:He was an absolute goat.

All I'm getting from that is "burnt money", because all their drops and turnovers and general fuck-ups are effectively causing this season to be burnt money. One fuck-up after another that's led the team to basically needing to win out to make the last wild card and likely get beat immediately in the playoffs.
I remember thinking at the beginning of the year that even with Wallace's holdout, the team still had one of the top young WR nucleuses in the league. Right now, it just seems that they're making the worst mistakes at the worst times to completely derail what could have been a very good season, regardless of injuries.

Andy Dalton has picked the most inopportune time to play his worst football of the season. The past three games have not been very good to the Ginger Ninja. He will have to magically find his rhythm against the leagues best defense statistically if the Bengals are to make the playoffs.
Don't get me wrong, I would love for the Bengals to play in the postseason. I am a little fatalistic given the history of the franchise. I do expect a better performance on the road than at home. The Bengals have no home field advantage and they play like it.
