Sunday Night Football

Why take a knee on 2nd down? At least try to pick up a few yards on a run play.
 
Man, it just makes blowing that first game hurt more.
 
Bengals.....BUNGLED! MUUUUUUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Ain't that the truth! The Bungles games and the Ravens game. smh

What this means is we'll probably drop the Seahawks game. We seem to always prefer to do things the hard way.
 
Lets go Buffalo! No more undefeated teams!
 
Seahawks maybe playing for their playoff hopes. They are 5-5 now putting them at 5-6 would make it very difficult with ATL at 6-4 and Pack / Vikes at 7-3. Will be an extremely tough game.

On a side note the Bengals are 1-13 in games after 7pm ET OUCH
 
Cindy has a defacto 3 game lead on us since they beat us. If they go 3-3 down the stretch we have to go 5-1 and beat them to tie for the division. With our 4 losses we are in bad shape with tiebreaker. Tomlin again shutting the bed against bad teams will come back to bite us I'm afraid.

Don't we blame this one on Ben? We had the lead against Cincinnati, if Ben hadn't decided to be a hero rather than throw it away.
 
I think its delusional to think we have a shot at the division. Cinci only has 2 tough games left. Us and the Broncos (and the Broncos are not that good). Rest of the games are Rams, Browns, 49ers, and Ravens. We have the seahawks, bengals, and broncos and can not afford to lose. Unfortunately I give us about .00001% chance of winning the division

What bad team besides the Rats have we lost to? The Rats is the main rivalry game, so records don't mean as much anyway.

Furthermore, they own the tie-breaker. They'd need to lose 3 more games with the Steelers losing none.

I think the Steelers would need to go 6-0 as the Bengals have a better division and conference record.
 
there is one aspect you are omitting from your calculations - The Bungal Theorem. I would not be at all surprised if the Bungals dropped a game to the Johnny Footballs, or the Rams. The Bungals are not capable of "taking care of their own business" like other teams.

Now, they may still may win the division. In fact, they likely will. But, lets not count 'automatic' wins for the bungals just yet.
 
The Bungles will lose to the Lambs, the Donks, and the Steelers/

They key will be whether we spent the bye week watching movies or preparing for a legendary Championship run.

It starts with a properly executed victory in Seattle.
 
Seattle will be desperate so we need to be ready. It is a winnable game for us, but the offense has to come to play. I think our D can match up well with their O, but our offense can not make stupid mistakes.

As for the bengals i think the broncos are key for both the bengals and Steelers. If the broncos put manning back out their we will win the games. He really only had one good game this year and has looked horrible in the rest. Osweiler (sp?) looked decent yesterday and should be the starter going forward. I do not want to see manning go out like he is, but he looks done. Time for him to hang it up.
