Bengals at Steelers(-7.5)

clear block in the back uncalled......like I said, clear who the NFL wants to win this one

Roger has to protect his investment. If he doesn't have the "World's Largest Bandwagon Franchise" in the playoffs, he's losing tons of money.

Let's weigh it out:

Bandwagon Fans who root for teams that are only successful VS. a division contending team who STILL can't sell out their stadium despite a winning record.

I'd protect the Steelers too if my job was to make the NFL as much money as possible. Our fanbase is the worst in the NFL, IMO. Edging out Jacksonville, slightly.

I know its probably just in-game frustration but if you really are certain its fixed why do you get upset? Or better yet, even watch?

Well that was an absolute embarassment. Hopefully we can muster some pride and limp through the rest of this season. It was a building year anyways and I realize we can still make the playoffs, but we've gotta play better than this against the top teams. Just sucks to get wiped like this by Shittsburgh so all their "fans" in Ohio can gloat. Guess what? Your team is going to be good every year, you're not a fan because you like annual success and just picked up the Steelers. God I hate Shittsburgh.

We [censored]ing needed this to guarantee a playoff spot basically..now we need to go 3-1 at worst to get in.

I'd rather not hog a spot from a team that deserves it. The Bengals obviously aren't ready for the playoffs. They have some solid draft picks next year. Continue to rebuild.

We need to raid Bama in round one..I want two of Richardson/Kirkpatrick/Barron round one. Our secondary and our Oline is garbage.

Give me Richardson and I'm a happy camper. That would fill out the RB position perfectly. Let Richardson play 2nd behind Ced next year, or until he's ready. Put Scott as the #3 back, and Leonard plays in the 2 minute offense, goal line, and short yardage situations.

I'm hoping we get one of Honey Badger/Claireborne/Barron for the secondary and Richardson or another back for the first round picks. Once Hall is healthy along with Clements and Pacman, adding a couple DB's will help put this team over the top. We have the right pieces in place for a run next season as long as we draft well.

So I'll open this by saying I didn't see any of the game today, so I don't really know how bad it was, but I don't get all the pessimism after this game. We were down our top two corners and top de. This is our only bad loss of the season, and finishing 3-1 is still very feasible. I think at 10-6 we have a real good shot at the playoffs.

I lied earlier when I said the Bengals should get Richardson. No thank you. They need secondary in the worst way. Leon Hall is alright if he's covering a third receiver, but fuck all that CB1 vs WR1 noise with Hall as CB1. Yikes.

The sad part is, people(bengals fans) ACTUALLY like Leon Hall. :sick1:
