    Game in Cincy now will not matter much from a win loss standpoint. As long as the Steelers win the last two weeks at homeagainst the Ravens and the Browns they win the AFC North. Bengals game is meaningless in terms of needing it to win the North with this Ravens loss tonight.

    Still I rather win injury free. Can't lose momentum

    We're #1, baby, and it feels so good!

    Our guys need to stay focused. I want a win against the Bungles, as well as against the Ravens and Browns. I just do. Take 'em all down!

    That's not necessarily true.
    We beat Cincy and Ravens lose to Eagles and we're up by two games. We're 9-5. Ravens 7-7
    Then the Ravens game could be meaningless. If they win then we're 9-6. Ravens are 8-7.
    We beat the Browns and we finish at least a game ahead and win the division.

    Well I hope we win the division , but we still need someone to go beat the Pats in the playoffs for us......Brady takes advantage of every mismatch his main man was dropping balls left and right and he still put up 400 yards...The only recipe I can see for us to beat them is a run,run, and run some more game.....We would need to run for over 200 and Ben would have to be around 20 attempts with zero mistakes.....

    That's true too but I'm just saying had the Ravens won tonight the Steelers would have absolutely needed to win Sunday in Cincy to stay tied with the Ravens going into Christmas. Now worst case scenario they will be tied with them no matter what they do in Cincy.

    Still several scenarios out there. A Wild card isn't mathematically out of reach.

    Exactly. A Steelers win next week combined with another Ravens loss would all but hand us the AFC North.

    Ravens aren't gonna lose to the Eagles in Baltimore. They aren't gonna make it that easy for us.

    All the more reason I made this.

    If Baltimore drops against Philadelphia and Pittsburgh beats Cincinnati, Pittsburgh may have gotten it's Christmas present early.

    Exactly and the wild card winner has to go see the #1 seed ...That #1 seed will be the Pats we need to avoid the #4,#5 and #6 seeds ....Our best chance is for KC,Denver, or the Rats to go knock them out ....

    Not with the way Denver is playing and Miami's endeavor either. A 6th seed just became up for grabs.

    I'll feel better if Ravens lose to the Eagles. They fought back. Harbaugh with a Tomlin esque decision to onside instead of kicking it deep.

    Also, wish we had a back-up RB for Bengals game. Once again seems to be an issue again!!! I want Bells touches to be limited and no receiving for him this weekend.

    Well.. the last part of your statement will not happen. Bell is needed for that game. Play your best players as much as you can.



    As much as I share your worry about the game against Cincinnati, we have to face them sooner or later. Any prolonging will yield to this upcoming game anyway.



    Pittsburgh has to win it for their playoff hopes. No excuses.

    We can't keep our players in a bubble. They have to play the game which they are dealt. Hopefully, everyone involved will keep the game clean. *fingers crossed*

    What if we beat Bungles and Rats lose to Eagles though?

    Just seen that after posting. Don't see Eagles beating Ravens. Unfortunately l can see the Bengals possibly beating us...

    I sure wish everyone would just shut up about ...well we don't need to win this game...and maybe if we lost 2 and they lost 3 we could still get a 6th seed. BS. The machine will be victorious. No style points are awarded - only W's, L's and rarely T's. It's pure W time from here on out. Make no concessions.

    I agree but Cincy has nothing to play for so they will take cheap shots. We can beat them without a heavy dose of Bell.
