So... Where Do We Go From Here?

Need a "W" against the Raiders.
Both teams are vying for a wildcard spot, and beating them at home would be rather necessary I would think.
Oakland is playing well this year, and seems to have the Steelers number, winning 4 of the last 5 match ups.
Think tomorrows game is pretty huge at this point.

Agreed! Maybe now that Oakland is a legit team we'll actually play them better than we have when they were worse?

That is a pretty prick thing to say considering Bell got hurt on a tackle when no one went at Bells knee. Way to go jackass.

I saw nothing in that video that was a poor reaction. He tackled him and immediately got up and ran the other way. What is the issue?

I did. He jumped up after a tackle, ran away to the Bengals sideline. OH GOD NO

Well if you don't like our perspective on things then go troll your own team board.....

Honestly we don't give a shit what you think with the tunnel vision shit thing going on.....

Got 6??? OH GOD NO..... Bye now

I would never intentionally wish harm on anyone.

I did have a huge problem with the way Burfict reacted after the injury though. Don't get me wrong, I think the tackle was clean and he wasn't intending to hurt him, but the way he jumped up after seeing him in pain and started celebrating was fucked up. That rubbed A LOT of people the wrong way and for good reason. Not making excuses for anyone but that had me thinking pretty malicious things afterwards.

It has come back around. The Bengals have been bungled. Still might not matter as the Steelers still sit outside looking in on the playoffs, but the balance of Cinci's season is more or less set in stone. They won't advance beyond the first round, provided that is they can win another game and clinch the AFCN.

Karma indeed... But I'd much rather see it happen to Burfict. I still think he needs to get his. Watching DeCastro punish him after he targeted Nix's knee was pretty hilarious.

It would have made the most immediate sense if Burfict was the one who suffered an injury. Losing Dalton is far more costly to the Bengals, obviously. He may not have won a playoff game in his career, but with how he and team were playing, it could have been this season that he/they would have shed that title.

I still think Burfict's tackle of Bell was malicious. The guy is notoriously well known for dirty play. He attempted another low-down dirty tackle against Ben on Sunday. I read that he attempted to shake hands following the defeat on Sunday and no one from the HC on down for Pittsburgh would even offer a hand in return.

On one hand, I do feel kind of bad for Dalton. Pretty harmless looking tackle attempt by him, and it costs him dearly. Oh well. That's how it goes. Hopefully, the Steelers can pull off the next 3 and get that WC.

Agreed...tough to lose your QB this late after a great start...if Hue Jackson can get them to the playoffs w/o Dalton, imo he will get one of these jobs opening up.

imo Burfict should be the last player trying to take somebody out...he career was not too long ago in serious doubt...I don't expect CIN to go 0-3 with McCarron but I don't expect him to win either of the rd games though...so winning out is important for the DIV as well as the WC....starts at home this week...solid DEF, but young QB coming in...he needs to leave with a loss.
