The Steelers, who have one of the best pass offenses in the league, came out running the ball against one of the worst pass defenses in the league. The run was working too well, so they stopped that. DWill was shredding them. So, they stopped doing it. Why? Well, my theory is this game was fixed from the get go to create drama for week 17.

Ryan Mallett? Give me a fucking break.

Martavis Bryant didn't do shit (1 reception lol). Sorry, but this isn't reality.

Ben with throws right to defenders. RIGHT to them.

What does this set up? It sets up what the league wanted all along...Rex Ryan vs his old team...to keep them out of the playoffs. Oh, the drama. Make no mistake about this....THE BILLS WILL WIN THIS GAME. It will be a close game. It will be back and forth. The Bills will win, though. The Steelers will not be kept out of the playoffs. Not a chance.

*Keep an eye out for a controversial call in that Bills game.

The game was fixed, but they turn back a pick 6 in the 4th that would have iced the game? And give the Ravens 100+ yards in penalties?

:tinfoil3:

And they probably stopped running because they were down 2 scores in the 2nd half.

I'm convinced that every game upon which I lose a wager is fixed.

I did not wager on this Steelers/Ravens game yesterday, therefore everything was on the up-and-up.

Well, sure!

It's about DRAMA. They milked it out til the last possible second. Pitt scores, and has a chance to get the ball back and win the game. Much more entertaining than letting the Ravens ice the game with time left on the clock!

lol

The only thing fishy was the Steelers. They stunk big time.

The game in Pittsburgh when Baltimore beat them was also fishy.
And the playoff game in Pittsburgh when Baltimore ended the 2014 season for the Steelers as welll....

In fact, the current 5 out of last 6 wins for Baltimore were shady.

It has nothing to do with Baltimore dominating them, and it has everything to do with Bills-Jets tv ratings.

Well, now, let's not be too hasty...if the league is capable of flexing the Panthers' game to later in the day next Sunday to force Arizona to play their starters against Seattle, then they're probably capable of doing some other underhanded stuff

Thank goodness other people are finally waking up to what Goodell's made-for-TV NFL has become. Also see: Bears-Lions on Oct. 18, and Bucs-Redskins on Oct. 25, two of the more obvious examples that I recall from this season.

NFL = Not Fully Legit

Let's look up who the OC is in Pittsburgh. Oh, Todd Haley, where have I heard that name before?

Pretty realistic to me. Steelers are going to have this problem with hiccups so long as Tomlin and Haley are there- imo. Been going on for 3-4 years now with the Steelers. Really unsurprising Todd Haley got baited into going into the Ravens one strength on a consistent basis. Ben playing his worst game in months puts the nail in the coffin.
