Game Thread: Wild Card Steelers vs Bengals

[WizardHawk]

What was your take on the 2001 NFL season?

Why are you hung up on 2001?

If you go with the team that has the best QB you will win more often than not. That's not a hard rule, but it will serve you well most of the time.

 

[HaroldSeattle]

Is it because your previous post wouldn't jive with it?

2001 is a blur to this old guy., so no.

 

[Duffman]

I see Primetime/Playoff Andy Dalton is rubbing off on McCarron

 

[cwerph]

So McCarron going with the gloves, not sure that will help

Maybe they are designed to avoid arm punts.

A backup QB won the SB that season.

But I appreciate your ammending your rule to fit your new narrative.

I agree, shame the backup in Denver isn't rubbing off on the noodle arm starter.

Friggin wet game. 3-0 Steelers with 2:27 left

 

[Wedgie]

I NEVER would have guessed this game to be a defensive slugfest.

 

[Demonjoe93]

Almost intercepted again there.

But, but, Steeler fans said old titles are forever and still matter.

Nope, didn't change a thing. Try reading again. I will take the better QB every time and will win most of the time. Not once did I claim it's always a slam dunk.

 

[Golden Spur]

Green was open there. McCarron's not producing.

A young QB that went from back up to starter. Think it's safe to say that's not the case in the play offs this year.

ball quacked all the way into the arms of the DB, FUGLY

 

[cwerph]

spectacular clock management by the Bengals there. Stillers get the ball with just under 2 minutes and 3 time outs.

Don't understand the play selection today for Cincy

 

[Demonjoe93]

I wish Michael Bay would stop making movies.

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

Cincy won't win if they stay with this QB .. He's all over the place....

 

[WizardHawk]

QB matters in every game in the NFL, but even more so in the post season. Rookies and dumbfucks can win, but it's more rare. Vets dominate that time of year. Stats are pretty clear on that.

Who's behind McCarron?
