Bengals @ Steelers - Round 2

[vancelot23]

Baltimore would destroy us in a playoff scenario. This team is much better than it has been in years and a lot of good things are going on, but we're really not a playoff team. We've beaten a lot of bad teams and can't beat good ones.

Not true. Oakland could win out and Denver 3 of 4 giving Oakland the division and Denver would get the WC with the tiebreaker against us.

Oakland won't win out. They play GB next week.

 

[flamingrey]

true, but we'll still blow.

Oakland looks weak after today, but we'll see if that continues.

Missing 2 of their top 3 receivers in Moore and Ford, both of whom will be back within the next 2 weeks, likely next week.

Still without McFadden who will be back next week.

Without Taiwan Jones and their fullback Reece, both of whom will be back within 2 weeks.

They showed a stat during the game where those guys make up 40% of their yards this season and 40% of their TDs.

I agree. Just shedding light on the fact that winning the next 3 doesn't guarantee us anything.

We hung with Baltimore, Pitsburgh, Denver, and San Fran. We're ok for where we're at. I thought we'd win 2 games all season.

Carson Palmer is not beating the Packers in Lambeau in December.

 

[flamingrey]

Btw, there are still scenarios where Oakland can have the tie-breaker against us.

Everybidy takes a beating from time to time. Bengals could easily beat Hou, Den, Oak, NYJ. They could beat Baltimore. Eventhough the score was lopsided I dont think the Steelers are that much better (could see this team beating them). Only team that I think they'd have no shot against is NE

I don't believe it. We keep saying that we can beat Pitt and Balt but we're 0-3 and giving up a ton of points to them. We'll be 1 and done if we make the playoffs.

We're now 1-5 this season against teams with a winning %. The 1 win coming against the Titans.

We didn't hang with them. Pitt blew us out today. Balt blew u out but we scored against a prevent D. We were down and had to come back the 1st Pitt game. SF doesn't blow out anybody so that's no feat.

 

[kramer1]

Rey meant Titans...

I think we conceded this game from the get go. 10 wins and in. Only 7 teams since 1990 have not made the playoffs with 10 wins. I'm not worried. Not yet. I actually believe.

When did we beat Houston?

Yeah, we did. They all were good games. We're fine.

Foreshadowing....

they're young. they havent played their best football yet. Plus, the AFC just aint that great this year. All those teams are beatable. None of them have exceptionally great QB play. they're all beatable except NE IMO just due to them having Brady and Belichek v. Lewis is a clear mismatch..

 

[flamingrey]

LOL one could only hope. Yes, I meant Titans.

 

[MISKO]

BTW good game bengals

 

[Tubbs1518]

If you don't think the Steelers have great QB play you are insane.
