Well it comes down to buffalo

Will the Buffalo vs NY game be moved to 4:00PM?
 
Here's the thing, at the beginning of the year I think most people thought that 10-6 would be a good year for the team because of the defense. Well, they're one win away from being 10-6, unfortunately, it may not be good enough to get into the playoffs this year. Obviously, the disappointing part is having the chance to secure the playoffs at their fingertips and laying an egg against another bottom feeder. On the other hand they have beaten 3 playoff bound teams, Cardinals, Bengals, Broncos and had the Seahawks on the ropes.

Here's hoping for a Bills uprising,probably not happening, but here's hoping. It would be even better if they mollywhop the Browns this weekend and make Manziel look bad in the process. I'd hate to see him go for 300 yards again even if the Steelers win the game.

Looks like AJ McCaron might be sitting for the Bengals vs. the Ravens... if we just would have beat them, we would have a legit chance at the division. What a damn shame.

If the division were still on the line, there'd be no way McCarron would be sitting.
 
I'm trying not to be bitter.

But damn with all the adversity this team played through we **** the bed twice with the Rats and have to root for the ******* Bills in order for our season to continue.

Hard for me to be optimistic about that.

Unless, Dalton will be back for the playoff game sitting McCarron seems a bit risky. He's played in exactly 3 NFL games and he failed last night with the bright lights on at the end. He needs playing time it's not like you get a game against a bad team in the playoffs. If Dalton isn't playing and McCarron sits week 17 I believe the Bengals will be one and done.

I don't like that decision at all if Dalton isn't playing.

Entirely possible that the Jets fall flat on their faces, they're highly capable of it. I'm just not expecting it. Hope for it, root for it I will.

This young patch work Bills team will be playing for nothing more than pride, for them and also for the coach. Is it enough? Probably not but at least there is hope.

Take that a bit further and tell me how many would have said 10-6 when Bell/Beachum/Pouncey went down for the season and Ben for 4 games. As you point out we won against 3 division wjnners and maybe 4 while this last Ravens game was the only really bad loss. You'd think that might get Tomlin a little credit-even on this Board.
 
How many ******* times does Pouncey have to go down for the season before people stop thinking he's going to ******* SAVE a season? Jesus!

Can we draft a ******* center who can actually stay on his feet for half a season already? I'm so ******* tired of the get well soon Pouncey crowd.

The problem there is Pouncey always gets hurt while blocking doing his job and blocking his guy and then another one of our linemen get thrown into the back of his knees, never seen such bad luck.

Either Dirt was extremely fortunate to be as injury free or Pouncey is just flat out injury prone/unlucky. I'm sure he was on the injury report more than a couple times but Dawson just seemed to keep going and going and going. Sure miss his dependability at center.

Good point, Tom. Maybe its simply his being surrounded by lesser talent where Dawson had folks alongside him who could pull their share of the load.
 
I agree about Pouncey. He does his job and gets hurt. Pure snake bit. That said, The Proctologist isnt doing bad. Since the NFL is a "what have you done lately" organization, I dont recall Pouncey being that much better than Wallace.

I fully and totally expect a significant blowout of the Stains.
the Buffalo-Jets game will come down to a last-second field goal.
 
McCarron hurt his left wrist on that last play. Cincy could be down to their 3rd string QB. Oops

NE has a clear path to the SB in the AFC. KC or Denver is the only team stopping them.

Buffalo beat the Jets away last month. There is hope there. We can't **** the bed v the Clowns.

Wallace is garbage. He gets pushed around by bigger DL. Pouncey's injuries are all fluke deals. He will be back and he will be dominant, probably just not this year. Now if we could just find our pass rush on defense to hide our ****** secondary...
 
Yep. Steeler Chili is on the list. I want to make it again with the last of the venison meat that's in our freezer. Hope its not the last batch of the season. At least the weather will finally be cold enough to make it feel like football season.

Tempted to make a small batch of "Bills Chili": Steeler Chili made with buffalo meat.

Did you have one last week?
 
No chili last week. I also did not wear my 91 Kevin Greene jersey which had brought good fortune the previous couple weeks.

I will take full responsibility for the loss. :)
 
Omg!!! It wasn't Ben or MT it was JMM!!!!

Yes but "we're just going to go on to the next game and we're going to try to find a way to win this next game." and my favorite: "You're never as good as you think you are, and you're never as bad as they say you are.” :)

Took a peek at Bills message board for fun.. there's a good amount on there that will be rooting for the Jets to beat their team because they would rather a division opponent go to the playoffs rather than Steelers lol.. thought that was pretty funny and pathetic.

That makes no sense to me.
 
Look, the Jets have impressed me. They have won 5 in a row, and this week would make 6. I dont recall the Jets doing that, perhaps ever. I give them a chance to screw it up. As far as message boards go, Id hate to think players come to places like this for their motivation or marching orders.
 
The Steelers defense couldn't stop a troop of girl scouts so it really doesn't matter. Some qb named BubbaGump Fartpickle will come inoff the street after shooting up heroin in a dumpster for 2 months and beat them.He will throw for 450 yards and 6 touchdowns while looking like the second coming of Johnny Unitas.
