    Never did need a burst to break free, and only needed to get to the goal line, so perfectly happy to string it out for a TD.

    Barry Foster was the last steelers runner that I felt was very patient back when he went for almost 1700 in the mid 90's but yeah, Bell is the most I have ever seen as well.

    Ben is bought off bad today. Another interception....this in end zone. Cannot finish off a game. Completely and utterly dominated this game....but it's not over yet.

    Couldn't just take the FG and be up 3 scores and give Bell a rest.....he's going to have 40 carries and be dead for next week
  • Ironman92
    Bell so tired he needs help getting up. Get him out of there.
  • Ironman92
    Dozen missed tackles and quick score by the dead Buffalo team. Pittsburgh just can't stand to finish off a team.
  • Ironman92
    38 carries 236 yds 3 TD AND 4 catches for 62 yards.

    He ain't going to be worth anything at Cincinnati next week
  • Ironman92
    Here they come! 27-20....onside kick coming up....might as well get it
  • Ironman92
    Lol, Bills kicker with 2nd worst onside attempt of the year....Nothing close to Pittsburgh's vs Baltimore but still a lol
  • wildcats20
    I have a bye this week in fantasy playoffs...otherwise, Le'Veon Bell got me 52.80 points.

    So far a good day. Steelers win; Broncos lose, which helps in potential wild card situations; Miami lost Tannehill and rumors are that it might be for an extended time, which also helps in potential wild card situations. Just need the Pats to beat the Ravens to put them in first place, so someone else has to worry about these potential wild card situations.

    Too lazy but if Broncos, Steelers, Dolphins all 8-5....who would it be?
  • Ironman92
    Conference? Steelers 6-3

    Not sure if I'll watch much today. Christmas this afternoon with her side of the family and I'm not very festive during games. I do not want to see Burfict end Bell's season for a 3rd consecutive year and Ben has been throwing picks of late. They may win but got a bad feeling. Next week is the big game...gotta beat the Ravens

    Ive tried that before......and i always find myself checking the score all the time!

    All big games this time of year. Coulda went to this one..glad I turned them down with it getting moved to the 1pm slot. I think it comes down to if the bengals new kicker can do better than nugent. If so, bengals win.

    Steelers living on Bell rushing...I think Bengals DL keeps Bell from running wild and Ben throws 2 int....not sure Steelers can win if those things happen

    They used and abused Bell last week so this will need to be won by the defense (Oh shit) and Ben throwing it. Bengals have a DL who knocks down passes at an alarming rate and I wouldnt be surprised to see one of those deflections end up in an INT.
  • Ironman92
    A 50 yard penalty to put Bengals 1st and goal on the 1....ball that had no chance of completion....but was the correct call because the fucking defender panicked for no reason and just ran into the receiver. Ball was greatly under thrown.

    Just horse shit defense and zero pressure on Dalton.

    Family arriving soon because I can't watch this and stay married.
  • Heretic
    Lol, always fun to watch yet another Cincinnati self-destruction.
  • Ironman92
    And Kirkpatrick gets beat and gives his team no chance by holding out of desperation....safety was coming and maybe he doesn't get it inbounds....Bengals would've had around 50 seconds left.

    Too many players just don't understand risk/reward, clock situations or greater % of winning stuff

    Once again, a big win yesterday. Did what they had to do and after getting down big they didnt panic.
    Had to listen to the bengals radio guys and they praised the steelers for not putting 'salt in the wound' and scoring at the end and then ripped Tomlin for celebrating like he "just won a playoff game" (as if bengal fans would know how that feels like......)

    Beat goes on.....ratbirds and then the browns. Wrap it up next week so when the browns beat them in week 17 it wont matter....
  • thavoice
    Huge game tomorrow. Glad it is on Christmas so there is something to watch! If it was on the road, I would give them 4% chance to win, but at home....50/50.....
  • Ironman92
    Ravens now have Bell under control. Ravens 2 fumbles and just down 1....I've seen this before. Some TE or WR will have to step up and Ben can't throw a pick.
  • Ironman92
    I've watched 1 fucking play and it was an interception by Ben. Fuck it. Gonna watch them lose 20-9
  • Ironman92
    Cannot get a scratch of pressure on Flacco. Terrible. No chance without pressure
  • Ironman92
    Baltimore won't even let them get to midfield.
