Steelers don't exactly have the best defense ever. If and I know this is a big if Manning doesn't turn the ball over fifty times then it should be an easy win. No Brown, and a hurt Ben. No way the Steelers even make this a competitive game.
Edit:It's a perfect game for Manning to look good against a subpar defense so that the media can hype the last Brady vs Manning showdown.
Really hinges on what we get out of PM and how fast Kubes is willing to pull him if things go south.

It sucks to see so many Bengals players and coaches basically throw their careers down the toilet tonight but some deserve it.
Oh ok. Well I'm glad to know that if Cincy had won the game, we'd be using this excuse while Cincy played the whole game with a backup QB.
A mediocre coach who's 0-7 in the only games that matter having pull in a dog house would be enough to make me laugh, but if the Bungles are that dysfunctional that they'd let him keep coaching after this then they deserve to go 0-16 for eternity. Either make a move that shows you care about doing more than embarrassing yourselves as soon as you get into the big boy games or just start tanking every year. It's the same thing at this point.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
It's tempting it really is but I've been a fan of this team through worse times (lost decade) and I'll continue to stick with them. As much as that hurts and frustrates me.
Well, it'll work if Pacman is on the other team because he'll react and he won't get the benefit of the doubt
That was like an hour ago, everyone already forgot. What fumble?

PacMan and Vontaze (Vontaze specifically) are on the team because of Lewis. The dude's been the coach for 10 years let's not act like he has no pull or say. If he wanted the fuck ups off his team they'd be gone. He picked his players and lost control of them. That's on him.
That shit doesn't happen if Jeremy doesn't fumble. Vontaze wouldn't have been back on the field to hit AB with his shoulder. Joey Porter startin shit for no reason with dudes who he probably played against since he retired in 2011. I aint blaming Lewis

Welp, we can forget about the Fumble and the Drive now. Thanks, Bungles.

Ben Pierce the god
Ok but this isn't the first time that Lewis has come up short. This is years of frustration plus a terrible collapse, I wouldn't say that it's reactionary.
you a downer
Yeah I love how Jim and Phil completely glossed over the Shazier hit and were even over analyzing the Ben hit 5 minutes later but the Burfict hit was the end of sportsmanship!
The CBS crew is a joke and the refs were horrendous
When did Pacman turn his life around?
lol was wondering the same thing

Burfict fucked himself. He is a decent player but if he gets cut from the Bengsls who wants him?

The game was already chippy as hell prior to all of that. The warnings were there. Lewis apparently didn't do shit, or didn't do enough at least.

Fuck Football, no winner powerball will be $1.3billion..
But the damage is done. If Burfict wasn't touched down you just got safetied because he did something completely stupid. You can bench him after the fact, but damage is done. I mean, did Burfict do anything other than the ridiculous celebration to warrant a benching? Same with Pacman, he didn't do anything before he got flagged for the 15 yarder that would warrent a benching.
The stupid runs through their veins, which goes back to your first sentence. How much control does he have with regards to the roster? I have no real clue, few do, its usually the Mike Brown show. Game was a shit show, everyone lost their cool, you had coaches talking smack and pushing players, dirty hits. Coaches catch too much shit for players just being flat out dumb.

Jerry Jones?
Might be a chance no one has one it yet, and it reaches 1.3 billion.

Agreed. Seems he was there to try and stir more shit up and it worked.
Regardless, Bengals can't blame anyone but themselves. They are a joke.

Just in: Antonio Brown suffered a concussion. Will he play next week?
I just think you can't say he's fully healthy off 9 passes. He's a real question mark.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Wasn't he out there to help tend to A. Brown?

The other x-factor here is that the Steelers had some dirty plays against the Broncos the last time. Case in point:

And then coupled with tonight's bullshit, it's going to be a flag fest for Pittsburgh.

Marvin Lewis has to be out after this, right?
I bet he's got some leader qualities

I would rather play the steelers than the Chiefs. Quit being a Debbie downer.

Welp, then it's time for NFL-GAF to make a pool and buy a shitty NFL team. What about the Browns?

I don't think people understand how hard it is to realize a play didn't catch the ball then adjust your body to evade the player while running top speed In that short amount of time. On the field and watching from home are waaaaaaay different things.
I'm not so sure he did that on purpose, but ehh it happened.
Bengals need to fire Marvin Lewis because his teams continue to lose at the biggest moments.
edit: beaten
Never seen this before, wtf

This blows.
Mike Brown ceded control of most personnel decisions to Lewis years ago. Lewis is the one in charge in Cincy.

As someone who doesn't care about either team, can I just say how emotionally satisfying it was to see two of the biggest scumbags in the league, Burfict and Hill, cost their team the win.
