gags...gimme the skinny on your boys today...

[gardenweasel]

what`s the deal here?.......you lose today you end up in a dogfight with the jets/chiefs/buffalo/Oakland and possibly san diego and Miami for one of 2 wildcard slots....your late season schedule shows away games vs the ravens,bengals and seahawks.....along with games vs the broncos, Oakland and the colts....it`s not an easy schedule....

you win today you put yourself in a position to be a fave to get a wildcard and even give yourself an outside shot to win the division....you lose and you`ll probably end up in a dogfight to even get a playoff spot....

do your boys realize how big this game is?...I`m betting they do.....I have your boys as plays in a few teasers and a flat play at +105....

am I whistling past the graveyard or are your boys focused on the importance of this one?....

Sorry didnt see this until now.
Another blown game. Offense just too many penalties in crucial times. Bell going down makes me want to puke. First game all offense starters played together and it lasted a half. The defense has done a 180 playing well. Cincy owns the division now but they can be beat in January. In fact, I expect Cleveland to give them a dogfight Thursday night.

I followed the game......it seemed like you guys had numerous chances to extend the lead and kept shooting yourselves in the foot....ben was waaay off...

the bengals,with all that talent(as much talent as anybody in the game,imo),have been charmed so far this year...the ravens injured beyond repair,the steelers with injuries and suspensions out the ying yang...things just seem to be falling right for them....all the usually tough teams they`ve played this year are having down years(ravens,steelers,chargers,chiefs,seahawks)....you guys are the first +.500 team they`ve played.......

we`ll see how it goes when they start playing other teams that are winning consistently.....

you guys still have a real shot at the wildcard.....hope bell`s injury isn`t as bad as smith sr`s(gotta say,it looked bad,though)...

They said Bell's injury was the same knee from last year. I feel bad for that kid, he worked hard all summer to get back and now this. Probably done for the year but I like Deangelo. He can still play.
As for Smith, it will be a real shame for him to go out like that. He always gave his heart on the field. A long and underated career imo.

I was really hoping Pittsburgh could get another shot at New England because when healthy I think they can matchup and keep pace. Who else will give NE a tough game? Maybe Denver? But I doubt it. Cincy will finish as usual out early in playoffs.

"NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reports that Bell is expected to miss the rest of the season with a badly torn MCL and other damage, according to a source informed of the injury. Bell was hurt during Pittsburgh's 16-10 loss to the Bengals on Sunday. "

that just sucks.....the guy is a serious talent...hope he can come all the way back...
