The “Oh No, Katherine Webb Has to Wear a Parka” Late Playoff Game Open Thread

They’re predicting freezing rain for the annual Cincinnati first round disappointment this year, adding to the suspense.  How will it happen?  Will AJ McCarron throw a back-breaking interception?  Will Marvin Lewis waste his last challenge early?  Will Antonio Brown catch 25 passes?  Will THE BEN harf his way into the Divisional round?  As anyone who read the DFO -Money Comes In this week can attest, I only care about these outcomes for my one remaining fantasy team.  The Hank Scorpios need Antonio Brown and THE BEN to lay out a clobberin’ on the Ben-Gals.  Sorry, Vontaze Me Bro!

The fun starts at 7:15 DFO time on CBS, take it away boys!

02:44 EST, and we just had our first Yinzer caller into Stiller postgame saying Tomlin is a thug, his players are thugs, and the thugs need to go. WORTH NOTING: Heath Miller should stay.

ballsofsteelandfury

Was his name Nat?

WCS

He did say he was from North Carolina. Close enough?

It’s not “racist” if you couch in terms that will get you on the air.

Still have to think this was a Phyrric Victory.

Yeah, Stillers won. Brown’s brain is goo. THE BEN’s shoulder isn’t worthy of a Chocotaco. Don’t know if Williams’ ankle is workable.

Yes, the Stillers won. Yes, the Stillers could win the Super Bowl. The secondary is still a steaming pile of horse poo. EVERYONE of consequence is hurt. Maybe better to lose, heal, and get a better draft position?
Instead, they are quite literally limping into Denver, a couple of draft picks worse, and certainly no guarantee to keep winning.

Nothing is certain, nothing is done. Let’s just say I feel this could be a curse in disguise. I know 95% of the Commentists will revel in it. I get that; we deserve the scorn.

But, hey, CACTUS BOWL CHAMPS, BITCHES WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I’m not THAT pessimistic, but this is definitely the weirdest I’ve ever felt after a win. The fact that Ben could throw is a positive. I don’t think he’s out for next week. I think DeAngelo will be back and Todman and Toussaint played well. The defense actually played really well and held AJ Green in check most of the game. I think Antonio Brown will be OK, but if he’s not, the other receivers have shown they can step up.

The big question mark for me is how the defense will play against Peyton and how healthy Peyton really is. If Peyton struggles, there is a reasonably good chance for a win.

WCS

I guess I’ll drink to that.

As healthy as he’s been since the Packers game; if his feet and legs are healthy then he does more work under center.

Pretty sure all my Dark Horse BA Plead the 5th is infected. Opened one bourbon-barrel and one bourbon-rum-barrel and they both smelled like goddamned potato chips. Fuck.

Breckenridge Twenty-Five sure is a good beer though.

Aw, man. That fucking sucks. My standard response to buyouts like this was “well, it didn’t hurt Goose Island” for so long, and then this year Goose Island put the Bourbon County series into pint bottles and jacked the price per ounce way up. Fuck AB Inbev straight to hell.

Well at least Marvin already got his extension for another year so his ass is safe. Mike Brown will NEVER pay two people to do one job.

(WARNING: incoming rant)

My God, I have never been so pissed at my team before. I mean we had the game won! Okay, the fumble; shit happens. Its football. But Burfict and Jones literally, no fuck literally, they DID cost us the game!

The Steelers ran straight to the sidelines. I don’t blame them; the Bengals didn’t deserve to shake anyone hands after that clusterfuck.

Even the radio, the biggest Bengals homers there is, was besides themselves. Hell I wouldn’t be surprised if this cost them the fanbase. I’m glad they booed the Bengals at the end while Pittsburgh ran to Denver while 51 Bengals started murderously at Burfict and Jones.

This could have been the greatest Bengals win ever. Now it is the worst.

Hell of a game, though. Too bad Burfict and Jones had to fuck it up.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Rant well deserved; sorry, man. Well said.

WCS

I feel doubly weird because PACMAN (CHUH CHUH) is a WVU, well, not an alum, but played there? I smoked weed with that dude at a Christmas party once. True story. As bad as his NFL career got started, he genuinely seemed to figure things out the last three, four years.

And, let’s not ignore the litany of crap the Stillers didn’t have called on them.

I don’t know. I really don’t. Happy to advance, but, I’m not exactly burning couches, either.

laserguru

Chuh chuh indeed

montythisseemsstrangetome

Would not be surprised at all if this costs Marvin Lewis his job.

Time for some season 2 Community on Hulu.

Not sure anyone but Hippo cares but Liverpool is currently losing to a team called “Exeter” in something called the “FA Cup” in a sport called “soccer”.

I could also be watching a tape delay; I’m pretty fucked up right now.

Just put this one. Love the fact the stadium is right in the middle of a residential neighborhood.

Time for the second half of today’s Adam McKay double feature, Step Brothers.

First, I want to address Redshirt directly. Speaking personally, I don’t, at all, feel good about this win. Frankly, I’m rather embarrassed. Like, need-to-take-an-hour-shower-and-still-not-be-clean dirty. I really don’t know what to say. I’m stunned, and not in a good way.

For the rest of the Commentists… uh. What in the sweet Mary, Mother of God, did we just witness? Again, I’m not celebrating this. At all. Terrible, awful, no good, very bad display. I’d like to think I’ve earned a molecule of yinz respect by being not an awful Yinzer; I hope so, anyway.

I’m not unhappy to be moving on, but, I’m exactly celebrating, either.

ballsofsteelandfury

Seconded. Every word.

nomonkeyfun

But yinz won the Bowl game.

montythisseemsstrangetome

This is gonna be one of those years when a 6-seed Pittsburgh that shouldn’t have even been in the playoffs if the Jets hadn’t Jetsed against Buffalo, runs the table and wins the Super Bowl because there is no God, or there is and He hates us.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

THIS IS ALL GENO SMITH’S JAW’S FAULT

nomonkeyfun

Everything is Geno’s fault.

Shogun Marcus

Well that WOULD imply pats schadenfreude so…yay?

Horatio Cornblower

As much as I loathe the way the Steelers “won” this game, and am increasingly convinced that they are one of the dirtiest teams in the NFL, (on the field of course; the Pats brook no contenders off the field), if they do beat the Patriots I’m probably going to be OK with it.

montythisseemsstrangetome

They were the less dirty team tonight.

Redshirt

The refs lost control of this game. I heard Joey Porter was in the Bengals huddle which caused Pacman to lose his shit. Hill ran out when Bernard got hurt to confront some Steelers, no flag.

Burfict punched a Steelers on their last kickoff return, no flag.

Take the win though. You guys didn’t self destruct.

HEY YOU FUCKHEADS! WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME CURLING NIGHT IN AMERICA IS ON NBCSN?!?!?!

Mother of God. The Gints interviewed Mike Smith to be head coach.

I will let you all make the apropos jokes.

I don’t know what that means. But thank you

MikeWallaceAndGromit

Holy shit, we were one flag away from Bleergh physically manifesting on the field there.

Brocky

Is it just me, or did joey porter pretty blatantly bait jones into a penalty there?

JustStopDude

Well if Jones is that fucking stupid…who’ fault is that?

Senor Weaselo

I thought it was going to be on Burfict for bumping him.

Horatio Cornblower

Porter can bait him all he wants, Jones still has to be dumb enough to take it.

And god bless him, he was.

Bloody Lethal

That game was in no way unsettling and I didn’t have any heart attacks on the way to pushing on the -2 spread.

While an earlier comment of mine had some votes for banner quote I have to say this one is just so much awesome.

Mustache rides for everybody!

Great, now i have to cheer for the Donkeys. Dammit Cincy

Horatio Cornblower

Just an absolute shit show for the NFL. You reap what you sow. You deserve every piece of trash thrown from the stands onto the field and then some. Just fucking embarrassing all the way around. The Steelers are a bunch of dirty fucking cheap shot artists, the Bengals are quite possibly the dumbest fucking team in the history of dumb fucking teams and the NFL has again picked a squad of referees off of a short bus that was just trying to get to a feel-good basketball game.

ballsofsteelandfury

You’re not wrong.

Your ideas are intriguing to me and i wish to subscribe to your newsletter

Yeah, my brain is still trying to wrap itself around all the clownshow elements of that.

The right team won.

Pray for Redshirt, everyone.

Bungles gonna bungle, but Ben is still a fucking rapist.

I’d argue with you except for the fumble and stupid penalty. Jesus God Bengals.

I don’t think anyone “won”

hey phil and jim, could you maybe mention gio nearly getting murdered earlier? No? that’s not in your narrative?

maybe joey porter once again starting shit for no reason?

RIOT RIOT RIOT

Its Cincinnati….how would you tell if they are rioting?

JustStopDude

Honestly…its not like this game matter. Neither team can win in the next round.

Landry Jones is a hero, just like the old gypsy woman said.

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

Seriously: become a Bills fan. This sort of frustration begins to look quaint.

KidFlash

I’ll be honest, when the score hit 16-15, I had a mini-flashback to the Nashville Nutpunch. Odds the Bengals’ offices will be burnt down this week? HIGH.
