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).
Opposite games. Steelers win with their (weak) offense on the road, and Bengals win with their (weak) defense on the road.
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
https://bsky.app/profile/dirtbagqueer.rocks/post/3lexqxi64y22o
Well, he’s rapidly making all halfs of Pennslytucky hate him, so at least he’s getting his message across.
Let Russ Canvas
Well, the Bengals did their part. Its now in Carson Wentz’s hands and Aaron Rodgers’ psychoses now.
That last two minutes was some of the ugliest professional football I have seen in my life.
and that’s coming from a Raiders fan
Bengals-Steelers football!
Down to the wire, I see Miami losing then minutes later the Broncos kicking a game winning FG
Yup. That’s my prediction as well.
It’s that Tomlin Voodoo™
Even if he catches that, it’s game over with no time outs left. Shut it, Troy.
YES! I’m getting too old for this shit!
Mr Wilson hasnt failed like this since Nick at Nite
Pickens had no idea where he or the ball were there
(clearly I am not talking about Carl)
Slim don’t know either. He ded.
Russell Wilson, genius
The Bengals only hope is that Russell Wilson is the Steeler’s QB.
A hope? A chance…
The Bengals Season ending with another one-score loss would be appropriate.
They need 40 yards, to avoid going to Ratbirds town.
500s are a waaaaaayy better draw, nice little Saturday afternoon date.
This is turning Bengally in a hurry
Like one of the few Die Hard baddies survivoUrs say…hold onto your butts.
Is Joe Burrow starting his emo phase?
He should call Carr for some eyeliner tips
He’s starting quarterback for the Bungles; his career path was assigned “Tragic” the moment he declared for the draft.
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
FG wouldn’t be awful if they can kill enough clock
Garbage TD please.
Sorry man.
Is it too much to ask for a game tying safety?
The Bungles will somehow bungle this game.
3rd and 25? YINZER NFL BLITZ!
Get rid of Pickens. Honestly, he just isn’t worth the kidney stones. At least AB caught everything.
C’mon, you can’t CATCH CTE
Pickens is just dumb enough to accept that challenge.
Live by the Punt Derp. Die by the Punt Derp.
Oh that was DUMB
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.
The Stillers are going to somehow rally, because Tomlin Voodoo is real, and they’re still employing Kenny Pickett, apparently.
Are they seriously still paying him?
Philly ate like 70% of the contract.
Is Russ wearing one of those rib protectors? He looks weirdly bulky when he runs
That’s where Christ is carrying him
Yay. My bathtub is calling
Baths are so great! Have an excellent relax
There’s the Bengals Defense that I know and loathe.
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
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXpETSoNWxY
Put in Fields, you cowards
I was thinking the same thing, although I want Fields to kick butt and I want the Kitties to win so conflict
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
if the dialectic says so, then so it shall be COMRADE!
BOOM. Now a td pass plz.
DAMMIT!!!
Thought you had that
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.
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.
NO! More Joe!!!
You need 7 yards from Chase and a TD from Burrow, right?
7.5 yards, and a TD yes.
Based on this drive, that’s a possibility. Burrow is pissed.
Down to a TD!
Its a two-score game. Put in Jake Browning and put Joe Burrow in if goes one score.
Let Russ Fook!
I don’t think the orange pants would work on me.
Never know until you try!
Russ could share some of his nanobubbles.
Oh, look. It was Volson was got Burrow DDT’d. Who saw that coming?
“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.”
Midfield. I want to see his guts spill on the Steelers logo.
There goes my bet.
Ruh roh, you could plant something in Burrows face after that faceplany
Somebody do a welfare check on Redshirt! STAT!
(grabs gun from lockbox) “Luigi was right. Luigi was right.”
Oh shit, did the Stillers kill another Bungles quarterback…?
hey look, the Cincy backups might get some run after all
