Steelers vs Bengals

• Ironman92

  

  Bengals wanting that #2 seed knowing that would give them a great chance at making their first AFC Championship game in a while.
  
  Steelers are mainly attempting to spoil but also still alive for the #6 seed that possibly shouldn't happen. (I think the Steelers can lose, go to 5-9 and still be mathematically alive providing a few reasonable things happen)
  
  I worry the Bengals may just bust ass, never look back and make it to the AFC Championship game.....but I think Pittsburgh plays a good game, gets to Dalton enough to keep it fairly tight.
  
  Bengals 31
  Pittsburgh 24

  I thought the steelers were already eliminated? Anyway, I hope it's a tie with a rapistberger torn acl.

  I think there are scenarios that they still make it at 7-9 if they lose at GB
  
  Ravens getting to 8 wins knocks them.
  
  Miami has the tie breaker but if Miami has same record as Jets....Jets have tie breaker.
  
  I'd guess one of the 4-9 teams might still have a mathematical life, though I haven't checked.

  Bengals should win by 10+.
  Bell looks like a good back though and with Brown they should score.
  30-17 WHO DEY

  Not a reverse, we'll see after Sunday. Antonio Brown will have a field day and the Bengals are bad on the road.

  You messed up anyways. You gave a 6:5 ratio
  
  Should've said Steelers win 24-16

  Crazy but all AFC teams that are 4-9 are still mathematically alive for the #6 seed.
  
  If it wasn't for Miami's or San Diego's likely hood of winning 1 more game each....it doesn't look that crazy.
  
  4-9 Raiders, Jaguars, Browns and Bills all alive...in that order.

  Bengals need this more than the Steelers because a Steelers win still leaves little to no hope this year....but the Bengals working into that #2 slot would be huge in the grand scheme of things.
  
  We Pittsburgh fans need...
  
  Steelers win over Bengals
  Ravens lose @ Detroit
  Miami lose to New England
  Jets lose @ Carolina
  Chargers lose @ Denver
  Titans lose to Arizona
  
  Those all seem pretty likely except for the Steelers part of it....and I'm not positive but I don't think any one of those individually or a combination actually eliminate the Steelers outside of Baltimore winning....and I also might win the lottery tonight if I play.
  
  Jacksonville started 0-7?....still alive and could very well end at 7-9 with their remaining schedule.
  
  Had the Ravens not pulled that win out of their ass against Minnesota every 4-9 and 5-8 team would be in much better shape.
  
  Only Houston in the AFC has been eliminated.

  I can't remember the exact scenario, but a ton of things had to happen for Pitts to make it a few years back.
  
  They had to win and the stars were aligning....but they lost.

  Why boo him?
• Azubuike24

  

  He sensed the writing on the wall. He's no longer an every down player, especially in Cincy's scheme. It made sense for him to move on, especially given that the Steelers basically let him.

  A lot of them are....but they might want to be a touch appreciative of what he did for them.
• Ironman92

  

  Here's what's due.....many many interceptions this Sunday
  
  Since his last interception Ben has thrown 170 passes, 1200 yards and 12 TD.....he and Eli seem to always parallel each other. Sure hope the hell that doesn't continue.

  Apparently Ben is going to wear gray sweatpants tonight SMH

  Haley kills it
• Ironman92

  

  Is there a stat that tells how often a team crosses the opponents 45 and then has to punt? That is Todd Haley's forte.
  
  Mix and match for 1st downs....get near scoring position and call 3 straight runs and punt. Haleyball

  Good hold...I think
