Ghost town around here today. Understandable, all of our sails are windless.
anyone have a link so I can watch the football games today at work
guess Zimmer is now a candidate for the Dolphins H.C. job

here’s the link http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/01/08/glazer-dolphins-moving-on-from-fisher/

Really lookin' foward to a miracle in Denver, you guys.
Ryan is going to be headed into

the “Romo” zone, if they can’t get back into this. 0-3 in this media age might as well be 0-10.

Tony Gonzalez has never won a playoff game.

That’s damn near criminal. Wonder if he sticks around for a another season and goes ring chasing like most guys do.

At least the Bengals didn't put up the biggest stinker.

Atlanta was considered a SUPER BOWL contender at the start of the season. Putting up only 2 points in a playoff game is awful.

hahah

freaking giants, took half a season off and decided to show up for the playoffs. poor falcons.

Giants are a team that gives the Packers serious pause.

Packers fans I know were scared of seeing the Giants again.

will have to pull for the giants vs the packers
There's some irony in the fact that a team called the Giants might solidify their reputation as giant killers.

They’ll be playing the David to the Packers’ Goliath this year. Seems familiar, right?

Brandon Jacobs

Dude, Brandon Jacobs is killing a good Falcons D. Didnt he express his displeasure in NY? Lets get him!

he's not a fa until 2013
that sucks

he would look good in stripes

He has an attitude similar to Cedric.

He’s also a prima donna. Not interested.

there are rumors the giants are going to ask him to take a paycut in 2012

if that comes to pass and he balks at it, who knows. he could be a fa before next season. contract for next season currently looks like 2012: $4.4 million (+ $500,000 roster bonus due in March)

Not to be rude...

but Lesley Visser hasn’t looked good lately. The plastic surgery hasn’t taken well.

is it tebow time for the fighting tebows to take the field?

my neighbor walked her tebow this morning and left a steaming tebow on my front lawn. i wasn’t tebow about it at all. almost yelled out the window for her to tebow off…

tebow tebow tebow tebow

They've spent more time on Big Ben's ankle.

However, that’s not the most time spent discussing a body part on Big Ben.

I prefer St. Timothy over Ben the Rapist.
lets go denver
Denver trying to run it down Steelers throats?

That has ZERO chance of working.

You are damned if you do...

Tebow’d if you don’t.

true dat

but if I had to go with Tebow I’d call option plays at least. Let him make a read.

Steelers lead the NFL in defense

how many times the last decade? By yards: four times in the last ten years. By points: three times in the last ten years. Worst ranking: 9th (by yards).

Leboo is just a frickin genius and they know how to draft.

PIT

can’t settling for FGs. At some point, Ben’s ankle is gonna go wonky and that defense will snag a TD off it.

Denver is a threat to not get a first down

with the plays they’re calling.

YOU CALLED IT!

Nice!

Stop trying to run on them, Broncos.

Just throw and pray.

Denver can't allow Pitts D to score

If they do game over

Decker got murdered.
So how much does Roger fine Harrison for that?

$1,000,000?

No way that is a catch...right??
Tebow's actually got an arm
His arm hasn't always been the issue.

Accuracy has been his flaw.

HOLY TEBOW.

He had 2 minutes to find someone and nailed Thomas perfectly. One of the best passes Tebow has ever thrown.

Praise Tebow!

He hath delivered us a TD.

Tebow threw 2 great balls on that drive....good catches too
Tebow is airing the hell outta the ball here.

time to go to church.

Surprised there was no pass interference call there

he didn’t look back, was totally faceguarding.

CBS' love for Pittsburgh is really blatant.

Strange because shouldn’t Denver get them bigger ratings?

Announcers

It pisses me off how they always say “Steelers fans travel well.” THEY’RE EVERYWHERE! IT’S A BANDWAGON TEAM, FOOL!

Actually...

not entirely. Pittsburgh fans are legit around the country just like Cowboys fans. They were often televised in the old days before we had NFL Tickets and they were popular from that. Also, stats show that a great deal of Pittsburgh natives left the city (for obvious reasons) and thus have spread around the country more then most cities. Similar to Yankee fans. Bandwagon NFL fans tend to be Cowboys fans.

so many fans

of Steelers never have been to Pitt… just fans who started cheering for them in the 70’s around the country

Packers now

I know maybe 1 Cowboys fan. I know 5 people who are curiously GBP fans all of a sudden.

That's true.

The younger generation is trending towards Packers. The shift from Dallas to GB happened, so good call.

I also know a couple Steelers fans

and both flat out said when they were struggling a couple years ago that they were ready to look for a new team. So there are indeed bandwagoners there too.

every team has that.

Most NFL fans? Are just that. NFL fans. and that’s fine.

Really?

Even us? And the Jags/Cardinals/Seahawks? Maybe every consistent team. :)

Tebows cutting up their DBS
Niiiice...

Tebow is airborne

Prolly won't last...

but at least it may open up some runs.

Denver offensive lien

is giving Tebow all day

Hmmm

oh to be a fly on the wall in BTSC

I'm sure Ike Taylor isn't really popular.

Probably getting met with the same vitriol we gave to Pacman and Crocker.

TEBOW! TEBOW! TEBOW!

gotta love him

If the Broncs pull this off I'll be a lot happier than I was yesterday

If we can’t go on I want the rest of the AFCN to falter. Call me petty.

FTH?

I come home from eating just in time to see Tebow cap off a drive with a TD… that expands a Broncos lead? What’s going on in the NFL?

Oh, and please don’t troll on BTSC, guys. Just read and laugh. :)

Harrison killed Decker.

Tebow is exacting his vengeance upon them

Really?

Was it a penalty or just a hard hit? Did Decker get hurt?

Vicious but clean hit.

Took him out of the game. Shoulder to knees.

Steelers are embarrassing themselves
Somewhere, Skip Bayless is dancing in his underwear
Somewhere, Colin Cowherd is having more of his cocktails.
Skip is doing more than dancing...
Great..

They are gonna knock Benny Boy out of the game and then get beat by the backup.

This keeps getting better and better
LOL

Carter picks off Ben. This might turn ugly.

Oh..really?...He aggravated his ankle again, huh?

Oh, hey, we're sucking

It’s my ankle, really, look!

The downside of this is that they won't stop talking about Tebow winning this game until at least 2015.
CBS will remind you

that Ben’s ankle was hurt. CBS loves Ben.

I was thinking I wouldn't mind seeing the Broncos go all the way just for the WTF factor

but then I realized that if it happened, the next day I’d wake up in a world where Tebow was an NFL champion.

We can hope for them to get TO the Super Bowl but then lose miserably?
Yeah, but I don't really want any of the contenders in the NFC to wiin.

The Packers are alright, but I don’t want the powerhouse of the league to win (especially repeat) just because it’s boring. Saints? I can’t be hearing Who Dat during the Super Bowl because it pisses me off. The 49ers? Screw them. Giants? Nah, Eli’s a douche.

True

The Falcons and Lions were my teams to root for, and so much for that… Unless the Texans can do something I’m going to hate this Super Bowl. 9ers I might be okay with just for California pride, but history makes it hard.

Yeah...and with that D they would be an interesting matchup with the Pats...
Like when NE murdered them 5 weeks ago?
He throws an ugly ball
its kinda crazy how similar our defenses is with the broncos
broncos fans

must be having so much fun right now.

HA HA HA HA

LMAO

Oh well

Still funny

STOP IT!

they’re mentioning his ankle after every play.

We might have a round where NONE of the wild cards win.

I wonder how many times that’s happened before. Probably not many.

2007.

NYJ/KC/NYG/Dallas all wild cards. All lost.

that was the last time.

I think it’s happened 3 times in history.

2000-2001.

was the only other year since the 12 team format was created.

Ben was reportedly shot through the heart upon returning to the sideline.

He’s going to return, but it’s understandable if his performance suffers.

That was a pretty play.
Tebow is in a major groove today
Nicely drawn up plays

and well executed

So apparently Tebow = Rodgers when the Steelers are involved
or the fear of benching
I prefer to put it on the Steelers ;-)
Tebow

Looks like an All Pro. This is awesome.

Denver

Has one helluva O-line.

i'd trade our o-line and our o-line coach straight up for denvers
TD here finish 'em
I'm starting to wish we'd played the Steelers instead of the Texans.
You know how there was bickering between us during the game yesterday?

BTSC is on the teetering point of erupting into something much worse.

This quarter has been about great coaching from Denver

and execution, what’s to bicker about?

Steelers fans aren't used to losing.

They’re staying positive for the moment, but their gamethread is already getting tense.

would only take a single word post over there atm to get banned

Tebow.

lololol

you should try it

LOL

The end of the Steeler reign is coming to an end. I think this is just the begginning. It’s time for Cincy to step up and take it from them next season.

The pesky ratbirds are still there.
Not for long

They’re aging quickly and their window is closing

band wagons tend to be over max-capacity

and bodies fall off easy enough when you hit rough roads

Can't wait for the years of Pittsburgh being the scum of the AFC North

and the Bengals and Browns duking it out each year

because yes believe it or not the Browns will be playoff contenders in the near future as long as that defense stays solid and they figure things out on offense

if tebow wins the super bowl in 2012

they will have to change the name of the lombardi trophy to the tebow cup

not finsihing

These last two drives with TD’s might just come back to haunt Denver. I have a feeling we will see Batch before this game is over. Batch won’t be like Ben, he will be mobile.

One thing I can say for Tebow is that he's always positive with his teammates.

when Thomas dropped a big pass in that game of theirs against the Bears, he was really upset with himself. Instead of being pissed like some QBs would, Tebow went over, put his arm around him and told him that it was okay and he would catch the game-winning pass. Thomas went on to make a great diving grab in overtime that put them in field goal range for the win.

all reports are that he's the hardest working QB in the NFL

came into pre-draft interviews having studied everybody’s offenses from top to bottom.

according to espn

tebow spends the off season working on the cure to cancer and spends his off days saving kittens from trees.

Also according to ESPN, Big Ben once played a game an hour after undergoing a major open-heart surgery.
If the media wasn't the way they are with him, I'd really like him.

As it is, I’m iffy.

And I know he can’t control the media, but at this point I groan every time I hear his name. He’s a good guy, but the love for him is ridiculous.

i've been amused by all the reports that use his name as noun, verb, and adjective
His name should be given to a rare uncurable disease
im gonna go spy on BTSC

i’ll be back…..hopefully

huge hold in backfield
Wow.

Steelers are falling apart even worst then Bengals did.

No kidding.

And the thing is, their window is closing. The Bengals’ window for real contention has yet to truly begin.

well maybe.

Brad Childress and Chuck B could be the OC/DC in a week :(

Shut your mouth
Oh my goodness this is embarrassing
actually this is awesome if it holds

anytime a steelers fan comes here and starts that “bungals” crap all you have to say from today forward is:

“Tebow.”

God's bringing down the fire and brimstone on the Sodom & Gomorrah of the NFL.
If I was Tomlin I'd let Denver run off the field, then call a timeout just to be a dick.
My friend who's a Steelers fan was ragging on me all day yesterday for losing to the Texans...who's laughing now? ;)
the wraith of tebow
Well now, look at these Broncos up 20-6 at the half

They better be ready in the 2nd half. The Steelers will come out with all desperation. They were down big to the Ravens at the half last year in the playoffs and came back and won.

Wow

Tebow only has FIVE completions

i dont understand it

figured if any d-cord in the nfl wasn’t going to allow this college crap to fly, it was dick lebeau. lebeau has about 20 minutes to figure it out. or the steelers are done.

every completion he has had all the time he wants in the pocket

goes to prove how valuable a great O line can be

Tebow better be careful with his knees in the second half.

The Steelers are pissed.

Old man Ben not looking so hot..........

guy is tough, but it’s cost them too.

going to start costing him a step or two each year

couple of more seasons like this one, ben is going to look ancient out there. he’s suffered most of his career with a sub-par o-line.

and his O-line keeps getting hurt.

they can’t help each other.

Starting my adventure into BTSL

expect to see some great things

I give it until midway through the third quarter before BTSC becomes a trainwreck.
if denver scores a TD on their opening drive, this game is over
has any one heard about Gruden and the Jags?
what about em?
well i heard zimmer could be a canidate for the miami HC position

and then their was confirmation that Gruden would be interested about the HC for the Jags, but I hadn’t heard if he had his interview. I saw that they will make their decision by this friday.

i didnt even say anything

and i got blocked on BTSC

Can someone find a good Tebow pic

with something along the lines of “To all my haters: U Mad?”

I'm begging you, don't post it on BTSC.

Just let them wallow in their misery.

Agree

But, for our own enjoyment…

i cant tell if he is laughing or if he is hurt
Expelling Holy gas!
there's only tebow image anyone could care about

someone posted one of his girlfriend in a bikini before...get that one :)
he definately appreciates the holy inplants
from the book of Silicone
How the shit is he abstinent while he's dating that?
BJ's don't count, yo!
lol I wont

Its just for future use ; )

BTSC

blaming everything on injuries.

at least texans fans dont blame injuries
texans might have lost their TE in yesterday's game

second opinion looks like owen has a broken bone

and they will bring up the next jimmie graham lol
Texans

could have easily been Superbowl contenders with Schuab.

yea for sure... Yates isn't as good with the deep ball
I want an O-Line that does their job like Denver's
Oh good, I'd forgotten about his ankle.

Thanks for mentioning it.

Again.

wait is there something wrong with his ankle?
thats a turnover

I love watching Pittsburg get beat it makes me fell so much better after yesterday!

Wow, Steelers given a gift
A gift from the refs?

To the Steelers?!

You don’t say. I. am. shocked.

looks like they got another now.

nvm

They picked it up

Apparently Tebow favoritism trumps Steeler favoritism.
man are they loved by NFL

That’s awful wouldn’t want people turning off this early

Wow is right

that’s a real WTF job, like the phantom holding call on the Seahawks and the non-call on the interception return vs the Cardinals.

That hit was a penalty on Nelson yesterday
+10000000 Exactly what i was thinking
i know thats like the third one nelson got called on him and he had clean hits
Please overturn and rule a fumble

That would just be fantastic

Definitely not a fumble

But probably not a TD….first and goal inside the one is my guess

Terrible tackling on that by Denver
it's tough

To beat the Steelers and the refs in the same game.

red tails

looks intense.

Looks pretty good
Paranormal Activity is the most overrated movie of all time.

I still need to watch the third one, but for the “scariest movie of all time” I’ve been largely unimpressed with the first two.

It totally creeeped me out, very unnerving film

No movie can ever live up to the billing of “scariest” or “funniest” (or whatever) of all time. Nevertheless, I liked it.

I honestly wasn't really even creeped out by it, and I generally hate horror movies.

Just two hours of the same shit, then someone turns into a demon. Maybe the third one is better, but I’ll have to make a judgment there once it comes out on video.

Ike Taylor is having a mess of a game
Ike Taylor is making Pacman look competent.
Tebow is a top 10 running back lol
No turnovers here Pitt only FG left in 'em
well harrison sucks against the option... hope we exploit this next year
Need to draft a few dummy WRs

and put them out there against him and let him give Bengals about 200 yards in penalties.

Wait

I thought Clark couldn’t be in Denver at all?

He can't play or be physical.

He can stand around. He’s not exhausting his system standing.

Although...

I figured he’d be in the Owners box or something.

Ahh...

…I thought his blood thinned just being in the altitude

yeah

If that wasn’t the case he probably wouldn’t be able to fly on airplanes either due to altitude. So that makes sense.

The sick pleasure of watching the steelers lose

It excites me……..

it kinda makes the weekend a little better

i don’t want the steelers or pats to win it again… any other team im okay with

i'd rather see the Pats win than the Ravens
I'd rather see anyone in the NFC over both of those
After going to yesterday's game..

I’m seriously rooting for the Ravens over the Texans. Sorry guys, being in that hostile environment made this personal.

it was tough!
i hate f____g texicans

yuck

i'd rather see the Texans win it all

only team left that has never won it all.

yea but we don't want to be the last team to win it all
there's still the Lions

Browns, Jags, Chargers, Seahawks, Panthers, Bills. Am I missing anyone?

yes but

The Browns and Lions each won NFL titles prior to the Super Bowl years as have the Eagles and Cardinals.

Then you can count

Houston Oilers/Titans (whom never won a SB either), Buffalo and Chargers whom have won AFL Titles. Also forgot the Eagles haven’t won a SB but have won the NFL Title before. Only teams to have ZERO titles at all are Jags, Seahawks, Panthers, Vikings and Bengals.

Jags,Seahawks,and Panthers have been around far less time

So it’s down to us and the Vikes for most suffering.

Seahawks were formed

in 1976. Not that much longer. Minnesota has 10 years on the Bengals. Jags are the only team to have yet appear in any sort of title game.

Those definitely don't count

Completely different league, doesn’t count.

It that happens...

I’ll have to defriend about half of my Facebook friends. I guess it’s about time I purged that list anyway though.

Are you over the age of 20?

If so, you can probably go ahead and move on from the Facebook. That’s for the kids.

Haha, well thanks for that.
it's not over yet

one long interception return aided by a non-call on a block in the back, for example. The Steelers have done that one before.

I know it

it seems like everything goes the steelers way in the end

it normally does
There's no way Tebow did that on purpose.

That was nuts. All for nothing though.

+1

I thought he was going to get called for intentional grounding until someone actually caught it

Tebow looks much more confident tonight
From the Sports Pickle....New Drinking Game

for the next...dozen years?

you can include “take a shot every time they show THE FLIP”. Regardless if he’s even on the team anymore.

threw into triple coverage
if Nelson had done that it's a sure face mask
I love it,America's most hated white man!

Just got in ,turned on the tube,i am just as siked about Tebow as i am my Bengals
The first time ive ever felt this feeling about any other team

He's breakin' off some of the gospel on the Steeltown Heathens.
I'm gettn me a jersey,
I can't imagine the sheer tonnage

of painkillers they shot up Ben’s ankle.

Broncos ain't stoppin Steelers Offense
why

Does everyone but Cincy’s back up RB’s play like All Pro’s? Sickning.

I know, right?

We can’t even find one good RB. Most teams have at least two.

their offensive line

is better, even though it’s described as “patchwork”

SHUT UP ABOUT HIS ANKLE!
Andy Dalton grew up 30 miles from here.

Every game has a overdrawn storyline from the announcers.

TJ Yates' parents were at that one game.
and was treated horribly!
Katy is literally right smack next to Houston.

There’s nothing in between the city limits.

Good stand by Denver once again.
but you get the feeling if the Broncos don't score here

the Steelers will tie it.

Denver is getting conservative

throwing deep worked in the second quarter it would probably work now.

Getting scared of a pick.
Damn it, Willis.
FREAKING CRAP
Only way they can win one trick side
There was no doubt in my mind that the Broncos would turn it over

the Steelers just know how to make huge plays when it matters….

And now they're wasting challenges too...
but if it was the steelers they'd probably have blown the whistle
At this point in the game it's not really a waste
thats the lucky break

That always goes the Steelers way. Fosters fumbles twice last night— but they both went right back to him.

the bad snap bounced their way as well
Steelers are proving

people just draft fast runners to be WRs.

Who doesn't think the Steelers will score?

;-)

just a field goal lol
3rd and one

missing their starting center,
no problem.

Those must be some fantastic

painkillers that they gave Ben.

He probably won’t remember even playing tomorrow.

#*%@#*%&@#*

HANG ON!

CHAMP had that.

So close.

Wow

Champ Bailey drops the pick.

Could have been a huge INT but dropped

Crocker anyone?

i was thinking the same thing lol.
Champ is a HOF.

Which is even more amazing to see that drop.

damn that was game over champ
Ugh...Champ make up for that one dude
How do they keep getting breaks like that
it's the steelers

God liked them way before He liked Tebow

it's the Steelers

If it can go right for them it will and if not the Refs will make sure it does!

The Steelers are going to score a TD and set up Tebow Time.
Yep, of course

drop and INT and the next play a Touchdown

i think i will cry if the steelers win this game
Champ just gave this one back.

Broncos have 3:45 to kick a FG. Prater can crush a 60 yarder here.

willis you damn goat
Must be nice to be a Steeler fan....

almost every year you get the breaks

not just breaks though

they play great D, they play big in big games, etc. It’s sickening. The whole package.

yep, they are a good organization
Yeah

All of a sudden his ankle doesn’t hurt so bad.

What a miracle.

Tebow

Probably laid hands on him before the game.

drugs are a crazy thing.
The Messiah will lead the Broncos to the win
Looks like they are playing for Prater to bail them out again.
they definitely want to kick the ball with 3 seconds left

make sure they get no worse than OT

Let us pray
are we praying to teenage Jesus or baby Jesus?
Prater's going to hit a 60 or 65-yard field goal

to win this game, and then get NO credit because everyone will be slobbering over Teblow

its a winning formula.
and thats how it has been all season. No?
If they lose,Tebow gets all the blame

so shut your face

no they lose

Big is “the toughest guy in the NFL”.

The Tebow Legend will grow to epic proportions if he can get them down the field and win at the end
Great job avoiding the sack
damn, how'd he avoid that sack?]
That was a total facemask.
and the Steelers get the refs help

if the Bengals do that flags come out.

Good God Refs

FACEMASK YOU JERKS

Here we go.

Ben’s gonna nail a 30 yarder to Wallace to set up the FG.

Bad pass....scared to throw an INT
another horrible non-call
see you, fellas
Steelers with the ball, under 2mins to go and tied

Seen this film before

this just flat out sucks
A few more from FG Range.

In Denver? 55 is easy.

Maybe they can put Tebow out there to block the game winning FG
can i hate the steeler any more than i already do.
The ankle pain must be shooting up to his fumbling arm
Wow. We might get OT after-all!
timow time again?
they're gotta rush 4
Good play by Bailey

But still doesn’t forgive that non-INT

They got lucky again

Denver recovers that and it might have been over.

Has there been a holding call against the Steelers OL yet today?
steelers will run it
66 YARDER IN DENVER?

THEY CAN DO IT.

that what I was thinking

at least try

If they had a kicker worth a shit.
true

Suisham sucks

overtime now

lets see how the new ot rules play out here

this would be a crazy game to go to
Can't wait for FOX to screw up and forget the new OT rules.
This isnt Marv
Overtime.

Tebow is on his own. The Lord doesn’t work overtime.

Come on Fighting Tebows!
Broncos need a TD to not give Steelers a chance

My prediction: Broncos FG, then Steelers get a TD to win.

kickoff return for a td so i can get on with the rest of my night ;-)
+1

I hate watching the Steelers.

I'm irritated for 3 hours....
C'mon Tebows!

TD first drive, don’t let them win it by getting 3!

Close enough

WOOT!!!!!

THANK YOU JESUS
Nighty Night Whines Hard!
BROCOS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BIG FUCKING BALLS!!!!

HOLY SHIT.

i was right holly shit
well i was close enough i guess :-)
How's he's ankle
Are you kidding me!!!
BTSC haven't even bothered to put up a 2nd half thread yet
Holy Crap!

The Steelers are embarrassed!!!

I love me some Timmy Tebow
And the Legend grows
GOOD GOD

Ridiculous play!

I LOVE to watch Pitt lose

Nothing better, except a Bengals win
Cincy over Pitty always rings my chimes
So who do the Fighting Tebows play next?
The Lord Bradys.
Uh oh

Jesus’ Jesus vs ESPN’s Jesus.

Im hopping on BTSC
Ike Taylor oh dear
Ok so which lose is worse ours or theirs

I say theirs

We were picked to be cellar dwellers...

Theirs.

+1

They were supposed to win the Super Bowl if you listen to the blow hards

Troy look like Rey M

Talk about not doing your job

That is a highlight reel play for eternity
Must be the hair
TEBOW.

316 Yards. Of course.

Didnt expect anything less
Im probably not going to watch espn

for the next week.

Brady-Tebow?

Eli-Rodgers? All kinds of orgasms at ESPN.

Hopefully no unexpected cuts to the booth
Were those angel wings carrying Thomas into the end zone?
Just a pass delivered right on target
Skip Bayless had to change his underwear
lmao

my wife said the same thing

he will be gloating tomorrow fer sure
That one's on Polamalu

Idiot bit up hard…..wide open middle of field

lol.......burrito's
A Denver-Houston AFC Championship would be epic.
New rules were huge.

If it was a regular OT…they turtle and go for a FG instead of the deep FU pass.

Your upset
Excuse me?

I think my reaction throughout the thread indicates I wanted Broncos to win here.

Maybe i misunderstood all of Jesus cracks,

I just got in mid 3rd quarter
Or maybe you were pulling for Bronco’s with underlying hate torwards Tebow

All of the jesus stuff

is largely a parody of the overblown connection to Tebow’s faith and his success on the field.

and the

i cant wait for Fox to screw up overtime rules

That's because FOX has made some strange calls.

Also, it was to set up the McNabb joke.

Uh, no.

That was an intermediate pass and the Steelers screwed up in coverage. Nothing to do with the new rules at all.

If they didn't have that rule...

I have no doubt they would have ran the ball up the field first.

Actually

You have watched the Bengals to many times. Some teams actually pass the ball on 1st down, unlike us.

sucks that the sickle cell trait decision had an impact on the game.

Was a pretty amazing play.

What did that have to do with anything?

Good teams play without major pieces every week. Stop making excuses for the Steelers.

shut up

I didn’t make excuses for anyone. I was hoping to not have to hear it and it sucks that something external to football had a significant impact.

But, you know, go ahead and hate on someone for being sympathetic.

17 & 21

With the Broncos win, it bumps Cincy up to 21 for their second draft pick.

I’d rather have David Wilson than Lamar Miller if we take a back.

That was awesome!

Good consolation for the loss yesterday.

I love watching the Steelers lose!
I am guessing heavy money was bet on the Steelers today
Weren't they an 8 point favorite?

for entertainment purposes only

Hypothetically, yes.
My God who dares me to post that Tebow pic on BTSC
Do any of them know where you live?
Harrass them when they play us

But not when they’re playing someone else. It’s unnecessary.

Ya I feel like it would come back to bite me in the ass
already been done

twice

not by me btw
Bengals fans should win a game

once every 22 years before they start taunting a annual contender for having a playoff loss.

It was actually by a Browns fan

I know right

Did he finish with a

“4-12 but we injured Rashard, so season is a success!” ?

no but he didn't put a subject line

so they can’t not see it

Agreed, we can gloat here or in private

3 of the 4 teams I was rooting for won, so I am pretty happy. I didn’t expect the Bengals to win so the disappointment was measured. The joy at seeing the Steelers lose is unbridled.

Even moreso, don’t talk about it. It gives the other trolls excuse to do it when we do it too.
The rest of us pay the price ( having to deal w it ) for another’s douchebaggery.

douchebags? here? Noooo....
you may not agree, but I think we have a fortunate no-douchebag situation

Although the occasional bandwagon interloper or hater interloper can be douchebags.

coach bill sounds a little sour lol
People at BTSC are getting banned like crazy.

Hard to blame the mods there. Fans of the Ravens, Browns and a few other teams are showing up just to agitate them.

I know

pathetic really

Ah,we were all a lil'bit rowdy yesterday
definitely

we didn’t have the crazy amount of trolls they are having right now though thankfully

We have our own built in trolls though
Nobody cares enough about the Bengals

to troll other boards about them losing. Gotta earn that.

true

nobody expects the bengals to win anyways, so trolling would be useless against us

what is there website so i can go there and chat a little
Just go to the "rants n raves" section of the Pittsburgh Craiglist.

There’s always some ignorant, hateful shit on there after a Steelers loss.
Pretty entertaining.

thanx

the best is when people use “loose” instead of “lose”.

i know what you mean it drives me crazy
Why would anyone bother to visit that forum.

It is nothing but Steelers fans, I have nothing in common with them. Hope this lose drives LeBeau into retirement, gave up the most passing yards (even prior to OT) to one of the worst QB’s to play the game (as a passer).

dunno. I see your reasoning.

Coolong is a pretty good writer tho.

so now

we draft 21 instead of 22 because Denver lost?

Denver won.

You might have been confused by the celebration. Bengals have 17 and 21. Broncos will draft 32nd now.

32nd your going that far
CLEARLY THAT'S THE PLAN
haha

yeah my bad

I like reading the comments on BTSC

but I would rather Bengal fans don’t talk crap, because it encourages other teams to do the same on here, as people have already said….

Tebow aftergame and 1.000.000 replays of final play would hurt the most
Exactly.

Not many people care about the Bengals-Texans game nationally. But Tebow with a big play to win it? A trillion replays are coming.

Teams I don't want in the Super Bowl from the AFC

1. Pitt
2. NE
3. Baltimore

same for me

1 down and 2 to go.

yep

gotta figure it will be NE or Baltimore in the SB, but GB or NO should win….

They've got no chance in superbowl gonna need to 40 to win
The Steelers screwed up when they called "Tails" in OT
they did not have the following

Carnell Lake and Jerome Bettis doing their Who’s on First routine
Phil Luckett hearing the double call.
Not in a dome (does not apply throwing it for kicks)

Chris Berman

Already starting in on the “excuses” for Pittsburgh-why do I watch ESPN.

Do Fox have aftergame?
you got to play to the crowd

Steeler fans are everywhere, and procreating constantly

That's to counterbalance

the Teblow love-fest we’ll get shoved down our throats the rest of the week.

Dilfer was great,

He flat out said why Pittsburgh lost. Dilfer was the one of the very few guys who called Dalton and he’s one of the very few guys to cut through the BS.

Dilfer is one of my favorites
You can tell he really does his homework.

Guys like Berman just show up and spew bullshit.

He was also consistently high on Cam

Which ended up being right

What did Dilfer say about why they lost?
They got outplayed.

Pittsburgh didn’t look prepared for the three headed Tebow attack.

Yeah they really did get outplayed

Also, I think this is a case where the Steelers hyper-aggressive defense hurt them….option teams feed on the opponents being over-agressive and biting on fakes (like the winning TD).

Ben's on dressed like 30's gangster
I wonder if there will be a rule change at some point

2 years in a row a team without a winning record got a home playoff game and won…. not that I am complaining today.

Doubt it

That’s why people love the playoffs— once you’re in anything can happen.

That's been debated for years.
Which team deserved to be there more than Denver
nobody in that division rather than Denver did
Should be easier to sell tickets next year at PBS

Dallas coming to town, Oakland with Carson, the Giants, Pitt

I'm in SoCal and I'll definitely be going out there for the Oakland game.
Tebow coming to town too
Ha ha

That means the Steelers have to have a rematch— bet that’s primetime.

unless they start out poorly

then it’s back to the fans not wanting to suffer.
Rightfully everyone in Cincy should be in “SHOW ME” mode with this team.

meryl hodge

Is a douce

MNF

Wonder if we will get any Monday night games next season or maybe even a Sunday night game.

Most assuredly they will.

Oakland, Denver, Dallas, PIT, Baltimore, Giants all home games no less. I’ll say one SNF and 2 MNF. What the hell, I’ll say a Thursday Night game as well.

I think Bengals-Raiders

will get Monday Night football

I think it will be SNF

I want to hear Collinsworth talk about Palmer quittin

I think I would enjoy that.
Collinsworth

maybe demand NBC get that game.

I was thinking the same
What would be really cool?

Bengals/Raiders on XMAS Eve for MNF. The thought of Carson having to spend Christmas eve in Cincinnati again makes me chuckle. I doubt ESPN would risk a Oakland/CIN game that late. All potential primetime games for Bengals likely happen after week 10 (flex schedule for NBC) or early in the season. ESPN got burned by small markets this year. No more Jacksonville games.

They did

MNF was terrible this year

Do you think he'll be able to rent his old place for weekend
Sure.

But the lawn might be a bit messy.

Maybe Jordan can come around and fix that
Very messy I'd say
I heard the Patriots hired Josh Mcdaniels for 30 pieces of silver.
Not only that

but told him to start work right away. How many people leave a 2-14 team and jump onto a potential SB Winner in a week?

They're still goin at it over over at BTSC
Are they talking about this?

Actually a Browns fan

couldn’t think of anything else to say bad about them and posted that pic…..lol

How many people are taking in

the epic GO DADDY.COM BOWL?

New Ax Men is coming on.

Of course there’s always youtube vids of the Broncos beating the Steelers.

Got it on in the background

But too much going on to really watch it. Hoping to be able to watch the 2nd half.

Naw, I'm watching The Fidelity Four Loco Life begins at conception Bowl!
Or should I not worry about it?
not related, but funny

the fighting tebows win

who’d have thunk it.
