Steelers/Bengals

[Mace]

This is the game I am really waiting for and I'm worried I'll peak with my beer supply about 15 minutes before the kickoff.

[YardRat]

I'd like to see McCarron have a good game. Hopefully his wife is in the stands, and Brent Musberger isn't in the booth.

I'm going to miss Gruden. I really like Gruden in the booth.

[Mace]

I'm never really sure Mike Tomlin brings the Steelers to the playoffs so much as the Steelers bring Mike Tomlin to the playoffs.

I don't know who has the most insufferable personality - her or hubby...

[stuckincincy]

Nelson's out.

[Night Train]

This game is trying to outsuck the first game.

Netflix is moments away..

I hear ya.

[Mace]

My gut feeling is that the Steelers run away with this in the 2nd half, which is why it's real likely the Bengals win a squeaker.

Nah - coach-for-life Marvin panics at half time if they are behind, and abandons the run game. If not, trust in the refs.

Might be, but I have a strong tendency to be wrong. It's me vs. Lewis.

[YardRat]

I'm loving the defense, and the weather.

If somebody wants to watch teams run up and back putting points on the scoreboard every time they touch the ball they should switch to basketball.

[Mace]

Well if the guy in the cape wanted to be any more conspicuous, I don't know how he'd have pulled it off.

I have the NOAA weather site tabbed. Looks like more rain to come.

Domato Peko - the Polynesian Prankster.

[stuckincincy]

McCarron throws like Jeff Blake.

[YardRat]

Wow...that was a terrible throw.

[Mace]

This is some ballsy rainball from two teams without a gameplan.

Game over, 3 pts are on the board.

[stuckincincy]

It's hard to believe a man with a head so swelled can continue to live.

Wow...you're a real hater, huh?

He was as porky as they come when he was drafted.

Kirkpatrick injured. This may end up like a BUF-CIN game a few years back, when CIN ended up using LBs for DBs.

[Mace]

Well, that's about it for the Bengals.

[Mace]

6-0, Steelers just put it out of reach before the half.

[YardRat]

If I'd won a national championship, married a hottie, and got drafted to play QB in the NFL I'd probable be cocky too. Hell, I'm one for three as it is and I can be 'porky'.

[stuckincincy]

Well, that's about it for the Bengals.

2 first downs. Time for a new contract for coach-for-life.

[Mace]

Oh this is a blitzkrieg at the half.

Lewis comes out on top over me yet again. The scoundrel.

[YardRat]

That's an interesting stat I didn't think of...in this weekend's games, the 'away' QBs have 37 playoff starts, the 'home' QBs zero.

You got drafted ?

[YardRat]

lol...I knew I could count on you, Mace.

[Mace]

No offense to the hottie, we were all young and irresponsible once.

[Mace]

I like to follow trends and patterns. Based on the preceding half this is looking like a 12-0 game to me.

[stuckincincy]

I want the temp to fall and the snow to start.

[Mace]

Pittsburgh's Blake has to run a better pattern there for McCarron to complete that.

Stick a fork in the Bengals.

How you liking yer boy now?

[Mace]

9-0 Pittsburgh, a blowout, and I'm struggling to explain to my gf who arrived with beer & pizza expecting to watch Netflix, why this is compelling or why I'm not sure Netflix even has the movie I told her we'd watch if she brought beer and pizza, though she owed me one after I posted her bail last week with that stolen check.

[stuckincincy]

For Sale: Hue Jackson and Paul Guenther. No reasonable offers refused. Call owner or head coach-for-life.

[Mr. Pink]

Why do you think I said none of the home teams were winning this weekend.

And off topic...

Bryant with the catch of the year right there to seal a Steeler victory.

[stuckincincy]

No offensive holding calls yet. History in the making.

[stuckincincy]

That was as artistic as Jerome Simpson's flip into the EZ several years ago.

[Mr. Pink]

Uh, that looked like a forward pass to me.

[stuckincincy]

BUF is going to have a tough time squaring off against the AFC North next season.

[Mr. Pink]

Lewis should be out in Cincy tomorrow.

They don't win in the playoffs normally and now he's completely lost control of his team in a playoff game.

[stuckincincy]

What a bunch of crap. PIT coach Joey Porter runs out to the middle of the the field and no penalty.

[YardRat]

How you liking yer boy now?

McCarron played poorly most of the night, but he brought the team back to take the lead. Hill needs to hang on to the ball, and Burfict/Jones handed the game over on a silver platter because of stupidity.

Would've loved to have Cinci hang on (playoff wins McCarron 1, Dalton 0) just to see what **** show might ensue over the QBs.

[Woodman]

That's why they call them the Bungles they deserved what they got.

Burrrr**** screwed his team.

[coastal]

Thug life

Maybe Jackson will finally get his second chance, without even having to change uni's.

[IlluminatusUIUC]

That was one of, if not the most intense football game I've ever seen.

[Mr. Pink]

Maybe Jackson will finally get his second chance, without even having to change uni's.

If they were smart, they'd do that.

But this is the Bungles we're talking about.

[YardRat]

"After further review, the receiver maintained control of the ball by shoving it firmly up his ass with one hand. Touchdown."

[Mace]

Oh this game worked out sweet for me. Shortly after my last post, I abandoned the game to watch The Shining with the gf. Curious about how it turned out later when she went to the bathroom, I checked, just in time to see the whole ending Cinci meltdown. Then back to The Shining. I was happy, she was happy, life was kind to me for a night.
