    Yes, if you can't stop the run in this league you're clearly doomed. Which is why the 25th ranked team from last year (and 29th this year) will never win anything. The Jets btw are at the top of the league stopping the run both years.

    That doesn't concern me under the circumstances of yesterday. They had to play to stop Jackson which allowed the other parts of the run game to be vulnerable.

    Yep it sure is this team right now has a legit shot I truly believe to go 16-0. Also, start letting more people into Heinz Field as well so they can be apart of this special season. They can get 20,000 plus people I’d say at the very worst at Heinz Field for a playoff game and do it in a safe manner. Having only 5,000 plus fans at a playoff game would be ridiculous lift some of these ridiculous restrictions and start allowing more fans to go to the games.

    I do understand that thinking, but he wasn't a one-year starter. He just wasn't great in 2018, but he was a big-time recruit out of high school, so people had seen potential in him before. Yes, the talent around him and the system were a big part of what he did at LSU, and he isn't the only guy from that offense making an impact as a rookie. His tailback is third in the league in rushing. His top receiver is 14th in the league in receiving yards.

    That said, Burrow was so overwhelmingly good, I never thought it made sense to chalk that up as just the players around him and the system. He tore up the best teams in the country. He displayed remarkable physical talent and toughness while doing it. I thought he might be a turnover machine early in his career, because I thought some of what he pulled off in college wouldn't work against pro talent, but I'm not surprised at all that he looks like the real deal for the Bengals.

    It concerns me a little just because the injuries keep piling up, but clearly, their scheme for that game did not work. It's not like they suddenly forgot how to find the ball and tackle.

    Like I stated a few weeks ago this division race was over after the Ravens lost at home to the Steelers, and after the Ravens lose tonight in New England it’s most definitely over. The Ravens aren’t making up a 3 game deficit on the Steelers with 7 games left.

    Ravens are toast.
    Lamar = RG3 = Kaepernick = Vick = any qb that runs better than he throws.

    Well the Steelers as I said after the Ravens win had all but clinched the division and at this point actually are holding off the Browns who are a game ahead of the Ravens at 7-3. The main goal now continues to be holding off the Chiefs for that 1 seed and keeping a close eye on the Chiefs schedule and the tough games they have remaining and hoping they lose at least one of those tough games they have remaining at Tampa which is next week, at Miami in a few weeks, and at New Orleans on Dec 20th.

    Looks like this post aged pretty well the last 2-3 weeks.
