I didn't think Cincy could pull off a win at Heinz field. It just goes to show that this Bengals team is very much a contender. It is a long season and a lot can still happen. The AFC playoffs will be amazing this year. Colts, Patriots, Steelers, Bengals, Chargers and the sixth team up for grabs. The Colts just made it very difficult for the rest of the AFC because most likely they will play at home throughout the playoffs. No bad weather for them so there lack of running game won't be exploited.Comment

I'm still in shock. Roethlisberger get's taken out of the game, and the Chiefs win in overtime.

1. Seriously shitty play-calling. I don't mind a fucking pass-first offense...but this team gets so out of fucking kilter...that it's painful to watch sometimes...
2. Troy Polamalu out, and Clark missing time has really exposed the corners...add Lawrence Timmons missing significant time, and you have a giant hole underneath to expose...
3. Aaron Smith is the glue of the defense. You can play okay without him for a bit of time...but it will catch up to a line of old fuckers. Add Kirschke out, and you really are in trouble...
4. Roeth with another head wound...do you think the line is better?
5. I've heard several times that this team isn't going to fall into the trap of lax play after a super bowl...but that's exactly what I'm saying. They are either too tired, to content...or both.
6. Charlie Batch throws the football like a fucking powderpuff girl..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands.

I've mellowed out a lot in my old age when it comes to my teams...
Today's loss would've been a remote tossing incident back in the day....
I'm to the point nowadays where I don't mind the Steelers losing to decent teams at all, and yes, I put Cincy in that list now, at least this year....
But what furiates me is how year after year they play down to their opponent and either barely squeak it out or flat-out lose, like today....
That screams unpreparedness to me, whether that's being communicated by the coaching staff or the collective mindset of the players...
I know hindsight is 20/20, and Poj you know how I love predicting the "T" game, but I swear as soon as I saw that kickoff ran back, I yelled out "TRAP GAME" !!!
The only silver lining is that Cincy overlooked Oakland and lost also, I still don't think Cincy's lead is insurmountable....Eat Us And Smile - The Originals

The Steelers play the Ravens next week, in a crucial game. And they may be starting a third string QB who has thrown only one pass in his NFL career.
Steelers' Batch Out 6 Weeks; 'Big Ben' Hurt
PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers backup quarterback Charlie Batch has a wrist injury that requires surgery and will sideline him for six weeks, a source close to the team told Channel 11 News.
Batch's injury couldn’t have come at a worse time, as starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was injured and left Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs with 12:21 remaining in overtime.
Big Ben took a knee to the helmet while being sacked.The Chiefs went on to win 27-24.
"He took a blow; needless to say, it was a concussion-oriented thing, so I doubt he was going to come back into the football game," head coach Mike Tomlin said. "I don't have a lot of information in terms of where he is or his level of availability. We will have more information as we proceed."
Roethlisberger had thrown for 398 yards and three TDs before he was relieved by Batch.
There is no word on Roethlisberger's status right now. After the game, he said he felt OK, but he's expected to undergo tests Monday to determine the extent of the injury.
Third-string quarterback Dennis Dixon, who the Steelers drafted in 2008, has only thrown one pass in his NFL career with the team.
It is unclear at this time what moves the Steelers will make in light of Batch's injury.

I've been saying it for about 7 or 8 years now, and Poj can back me up on this....
I NEVER worry about the Steelers when they play decent/good opponents.... That doesn't mean they always win of course, but I know that if they do end up losing, it won't be because of a lack of focus or preparation, lackadaisical, etc....
It's when they face the inferior teams, and that's both at home and on the road.... The focus isn't there, the intensity isn't there, yadda, yadda....
They did it at Oakland a few years ago, at Arizona, at Denver and at the Jets a couple years ago (I predicted all 3 of those), at Chicago and at KC this year, and there are others.....
So IMO, if they end up getting a wild card again this year, just like in '05, I have no problem at all with them going on the road against GOOD teams.... They have better than average chances of beating anyone in the AFC on the road, although if they don't get their shit in gear, that won't happen...Eat Us And Smile - The Originals

Game's not over yet, but if the Steelers win, this could be the play of the year..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands.

Honest to christ...do the fucking cornerbacks realize that a field goal loses the game? They are playing 15 yards off the fucking receivers...
SACK!!!!
Holy shit...that's going to be good...no...NO...
Short!!!!
Seriously...WTF...
James Farrior may have just saved the season with that sack...
Of course...here comes fucking overtime...
I'm most afraid of a kickoff..."Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."Comment
I believe they dropped one against a shitty NE team led by Flutie during their SB XXIII run..
