Games to keep an eye on today...

Pats at Titans and the Saints at the Bengals. The Steelers can open up a 2 game lead in the loss column on the Bengals if they lose today which I believe they will. And they can better their chances of getting a 2 seed if the Titans can upset the Pats. The Pats at some point are gonna drop a game to somebody. They have won 6 in a row and while they are very good I just don’t think they are good enough to run the table the rest of the season. Somebody will beat them whether it’s somebody else or the Steelers on December 16th.

 

I`m interested on how well the Saints play against the Bungles. I have a theory that the good NFC teams may not be on the same level as good AFC teams. We will see if they struggle like they did against the Ratbirds.

 

The Bengals are approaching must win territory as well as far as the division is concerned. They can’t continue to fall 2 or 3 more games behind the Steelers like the Ravens are. This division race I feel is gonna be done in about 2 weeks. I don’t see the Bengals or the Ravens making any kind of push and I don’t see the Steelers losing many more games.

 

Agreed!

I just hope the Steelers win enough that the last game against the Bengals doesn’t mean anything.

 

That game against the bengals will mean something because we will be playing for a seeding position....

 

Whatever the Bungles do I hope keeping Marvin Lewis there is one of them. I was hoping Hue would've gotten a 5 yr extension but that fell through. Rats are in free fall at this point which may prompt them to us LJ a whole lot more to spice things up. We keep doing what we're doing and take things one game at a time, things will work out. Jax is a dumpster fire and we should win (but then again, that's what I thought last year. twice). On to J'ville.

 

It`s all about winning percentage for us because of the tie with the Brownies. It will be clear cut if that last game has any value. It won`t depend on a tie breaker.

 

The last time we tied was in 2002 against the falcons they won the division with a 10-5-1 record, the tie wasnt needed to win it but it did give them a half game cushion in the standings over the 9-7 browns......

 

I really did not explain my thoughts well.

To clarify, I meant as in the Steelers making the playoffs at all. I fully expect it will affect the seeding.

 

I can not see the Bengals beating the Saints without AJ Green. As for the Patriots, I would not be surprised if the Titans give them a game. Gronk is out, and the Patriots have already dropped a game to a former coach this year.(Lions)

 

I like Tenn over the pats this week

 

The Steelers are in all likelihood going to need the Patriots to lose another game besides losing to the Steelers here in 5 weeks if they are going to finish ahead of them in the standings and get a bye week. The Steelers I feel right now can really only afford to probably lose one more game and it can’t be to the Patriots if they hope to get a bye week in the playoffs.

 

I'm not counting on the Steelers getting a bye week, the Patriots and Chiefs will get it. The Patriots have no competition from their division, that's pretty much automatic 6 wins for them.

 

Another game I would be watching is the Indianapolis Colts and the Jacksonville Jaguars. The game yet played against them will be intriguing for certain.


Should the Jaguars lose one more and next week, they will be mathematically eliminated from contention. Then again, losing this one could cripple their playoff chances all together. Better to be safe than sorry though.

 

I really don't see the Bungles beating the Saints, (N.O. is perfect on the road), but I think the game could be close. Saints outside of their friendly dome and the Bungles playing desperate. If Mariota plays as well as he did against the Cryboys, I think they will beat N.E.

 

Every year! Been screaming this for years...They are a damn good team but what if, realistically...The Steelers were almost " guaranteed " 6 automatic wins EVERY year...My gosh...If you just go 6-4 the rest of the year, you have 11 wins...

And the Cheats never go 6-4...So they have a minimum 11wins every year...

Just another reason I hate them...They just get EVERYTHING handed to them...lol

 

I do to...Their offense is offensive

 

Yep. Titans beat a cowboys team who looks like they just don’t care and now playing an elite(surprise) pats team.

Beast retires with Ben I Bet

 

It's not handed to them. They still have to go through every team in the AFC and the top team in the NFC to win the SB. They beat us almost every time. They beat KC this year. If the Steelers players have such a problem with the Pats winning SB, then maybe they should step up and finally beat them.

 

Rather lose to the pats this year and win the SB than beat them and lose the SB

 

TD Tenn lol

 

Titans just scored! Hell yeah

 

Need updates on Chiefs
