It’s Bengals/Steelers-And This Time It Means Something! An Open Thread

Kidding! Since Burrow came along the tilts between the two have carried quite a bit of weight. Some observations and then an intro-

-Are the Texans the weakest team headed into the playoffs? I think Tampa’s offense can beat anyone if Baker is cooking. (get it?) Though Houston is 5-1 in their last six, four of those wins were against the Pats, Jags, Colts and Bears. And they were all one score games. Also, they are 9-7 and have a -7 point differential.

-One bird in the hand is worth two in the Bush Leagues? The Titans are starting Will Levis but also sprinkling in a helping of Mason Rudolph as well. This might be related-who knows but with a loss they have a shot at the #1 pick.

-Poor Saquon is following the company line but he’s only 103 yards away from the record. He could get that before the end of the third quarter and then get his rest.

To The Game!

Bengals/Steelers:

-Ahh, a game whereby no one is resting their starters!

-What sort of person in their right mind is not cheering for Cincy tonight? (yinzers triggered)

-The Bengals defensive coordinator is Lou Anarumo. He makes 1.5 million a year. Most of it feels stolen this year.

-If Burrow throws for 359 yards he’ll reach 5,000 for the year.

-Seven of Cincy’s eight losses have come by one score.

-Lost in the RB Resurgence: To Najee it’s just a rumor-he’s free as a bird because his fifth-year option was tossed to the four winds.

-Yes, Tomlin kept his above .500 streak alive but he also has something else that’s above that number. In his 18 seasons he’s had more double-digit win seasons than single digit wins. With respect to that he’s 11-7.

Do your best.

Because our existence is nothing more than blind consumerism, simply for the sake of blind consumerism, today featured JV hoops conference games between Nebraska-UCLA (B1G), and Pitt-Stanford (ACC).

BugEyedBoo

Opposite games. Steelers win with their (weak) offense on the road, and Bengals win with their (weak) defense on the road.

yeah right

Anyone want some jalapeno cheddar cornbread?

Still lukewarm!

remember that one story that russell wilson’s roommate in college says russ wants to one day run for president (which is why he is quite cringe)

bro, you cannot have half of swing-state pennsylvania hate you like this

fleshwound_NPG
WCS

Well, he’s rapidly making all halfs of Pennslytucky hate him, so at least he’s getting his message across.

Gatoraids

Let Russ Canvas

Redshirt

Well, the Bengals did their part. Its now in Carson Wentz’s hands and Aaron Rodgers’ psychoses now.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

That last two minutes was some of the ugliest professional football I have seen in my life.

Brick Meathook

and that’s coming from a Raiders fan

Redshirt

Bengals-Steelers football!

Doktor Zymm

Down to the wire, I see Miami losing then minutes later the Broncos kicking a game winning FG

Redshirt

Yup. That’s my prediction as well.

Brick Meathook

It’s that Tomlin Voodoo

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Even if he catches that, it’s game over with no time outs left. Shut it, Troy.

Redshirt

YES! I’m getting too old for this shit!

Gatoraids

Mr Wilson hasnt failed like this since Nick at Nite

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Pickens had no idea where he or the ball were there

BrettFavresColonoscopy

(clearly I am not talking about Carl)

Brick Meathook

Slim don’t know either. He ded.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Russell Wilson, genius

Brick Meathook

The Bengals only hope is that Russell Wilson is the Steeler’s QB.

The Bengals Season ending with another one-score loss would be appropriate.

King Hippo

They need 40 yards, to avoid going to Ratbirds town.

litre_cola

500s are a waaaaaayy better draw, nice little Saturday afternoon date.

litre_cola

This is turning Bengally in a hurry

King Hippo

Like one of the few Die Hard baddies survivoUrs say…hold onto your butts.

King Hippo

Is Joe Burrow starting his emo phase?

Doktor Zymm

He should call Carr for some eyeliner tips

Brick Meathook

WCS

He’s starting quarterback for the Bungles; his career path was assigned “Tragic” the moment he declared for the draft.

Doktor Zymm

I would consider that more Greek tradgedy with eyes being gouged out with burning hot spears than knitting a sweater from your dog’s hair while sitting in the dark and crying about your high school girlfriend tragic though

Doktor Zymm

FG wouldn’t be awful if they can kill enough clock

litre_cola

Garbage TD please.

Horatio Cornblower

Sorry man.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Is it too much to ask for a game tying safety?

WCS

Brick Meathook

The Bungles will somehow bungle this game.

WCS

3rd and 25? YINZER NFL BLITZ!

WCS

Get rid of Pickens. Honestly, he just isn’t worth the kidney stones. At least AB caught everything.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

C’mon, you can’t CATCH CTE

WCS

Pickens is just dumb enough to accept that challenge.

Redshirt

Live by the Punt Derp. Die by the Punt Derp.

Doktor Zymm

Oh that was DUMB

Redshirt

Time to see if Joe Burrow can weaponize his concussion and/or internally hemorrhaging spinal fluid to finish this thing.

I’ll be there tomorrow.

WCS

The Stillers are going to somehow rally, because Tomlin Voodoo is real, and they’re still employing Kenny Pickett, apparently.

ballsofsteelandfury

Are they seriously still paying him?

WCS

Philly ate like 70% of the contract.

Doktor Zymm

Is Russ wearing one of those rib protectors? He looks weirdly bulky when he runs

BrettFavresColonoscopy

That’s where Christ is carrying him

Gumbygirl

Yay. My bathtub is calling

Doktor Zymm

Baths are so great! Have an excellent relax

Redshirt

There’s the Bengals Defense that I know and loathe.

rockingdog

Found a funny:

missed a spare at bowling and the scoreboard played an animation of me eating a log of shit with a knife and fork

Senor Weaselo
BrettFavresColonoscopy

Put in Fields, you cowards

Doktor Zymm

I was thinking the same thing, although I want Fields to kick butt and I want the Kitties to win so conflict

Doktor Zymm

When the Bengals let Tee Higgins go or screw up contract negotiations with Chase it would be pretty awesome if one of them went to WAS

King Hippo

if the dialectic says so, then so it shall be COMRADE!

litre_cola

BOOM. Now a td pass plz.

litre_cola

DAMMIT!!!

Doktor Zymm

Thought you had that

WCS

George Pickens is ALWAYS and never drops passes.

LEADER OF MEN
GREATEST RECEIVER SINCE RICE, MAYBE BETTER
SAVIOR OF OFFENSES EVERYWHERE

He’s currently on the career path of fellow Stillers receiving legend, Limas Sweed.

Redshirt

He reminds me of a young Reggie Rembert.

Oh, come on, Burrow! Let’s at least see if Browning can adequate us across the finish line.

litre_cola

NO! More Joe!!!

Horatio Cornblower

You need 7 yards from Chase and a TD from Burrow, right?

litre_cola

7.5 yards, and a TD yes.

Redshirt

Based on this drive, that’s a possibility. Burrow is pissed.

Horatio Cornblower

Down to a TD!

Brick Meathook

Redshirt

Its a two-score game. Put in Jake Browning and put Joe Burrow in if goes one score.

Doktor Zymm

Let Russ Fook!

yeah right

I don’t think the orange pants would work on me.

Doktor Zymm

Never know until you try!

Jimbo

Russ could share some of his nanobubbles.

Redshirt

Oh, look. It was Volson was got Burrow DDT’d. Who saw that coming?

Horatio Cornblower

“Volson, I gave you a katana sword to honor the spirit of the samurai, and when a samurai lets his master down like that, there’s only one way out.

Here’s a clean towel. Scream when you’re done.”

Redshirt

Midfield. I want to see his guts spill on the Steelers logo.

litre_cola

There goes my bet.

Doktor Zymm

Ruh roh, you could plant something in Burrows face after that faceplany

Somebody do a welfare check on Redshirt! STAT!

Oh shit, did the Stillers kill another Bungles quarterback…?

King Hippo

hey look, the Cincy backups might get some run after all
