I think we are looking at another shut out. Pitt is eating McCarron's lunch.

 

Pitts seems to be running the ball well at times.

 

I know this might be a boring game at times too, division battles can be like that.

Its been so slow all day ....Jules...

 

The best part of the day so far was how KC opened up the game.

I feel bad for Bengals fans. Awful to lose your QB starter right before playoffs.

Andy Dalton is thinking about locking McCarron in a storage closet, stealing his uniform and going out to play in the third quarter

I still wonder how much they paid Hoyer

Not a bad idea. I would put in Dalton with broken thumb and all right now in the rain.

[James]

McCarron is way below the Dalton Line. 

 

His play here in the playoffs is logical.

They'd have to cover up his red hair. Put some dreadlocks on him and say it's free agent pickup 'Ahmed Dalton'

[oldunclemark]

another crucial penalty on Pitt..cost 'em 17 yards

[Gramz]

this game is better than any sleeping pill..

[snkdy]

That hit wow...

[oldunclemark]

That's an old school hit....you know that's 15 yards

amazing that he held on to the ball after that

[esmort]

I hate when they call penalties on those hits.

[snkdy]

Of course he dropped it.

I wish they'd change that 'defenseless' rule and make it a hit to the head of a receiver is a fou..bt a hit to the body is fair

[oldunclemark]

  Field goals are thrilling, aren't they?

Like when the receiver lowers them self into the hit after taking 3 steps with the ball.  I agree it is a nonsense call.

[oldunclemark]

run out the clock, Bengals...do it

Agreed, and that hit would have been below the receivers shoulder pads if the receiver hadn't bent forward at last second. 

[MTC]

Bengals are lucky to only be down 6 instead of 10. Ben had a brain fart.

[JCPatriot]

Defenseless receiver?  The receiver was running with the ball after the catch and lowered his head into the tackler.  How is that a defenseless receiver?

[Jules]

Sort of reminds me so far of Colts/Ravens divisional early 2007.

The only people I know who loved that game were Colts fans lol. And tonights winner will be the only ones to love this game so far unless things heat up in the second half.

That was with Steve McNair at Ravens QB. I at least loved our goal-line defense that day.

[Jules]

I have officially seen it all.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[snkdy]

Very nice dance.

 

[SteelDragon]

Anytime I feel down about the Colts, I always think,  at least in not a Cincinnati fan

[Jules]

For those wanting playoff excitement that was kinda interesting.

[oldunclemark]

There';s not much Cincy can do unless the defense scores

[Jules]

 

They over turn it and then they run right down the field anyway. I have no idea why but this game is hilarious.

 

[Gramz]

I don't see either of these teams advancing next week

[Jules]

Should have let them keep the TD before so most of us could turn it off and move on with our nights.  

[snkdy]

Big Ben hasn't been very impressive.

To be fair there is heavy rain, it's a heavy divisional rivalry and teams can change from week to week in the playoffs.

 

If Pittsburgh wins this game I absolutely would not over look them at all. Cincy though I doubt could get by NE. But, I could not count out Big Ben and Mike Tomlin.

Highlight of the year so far.

[Mudbone]

Come on Bengals, dang it. Don't lose yet another playoff game to these sods again.

[oldunclemark]

9-0.........wow....maybe theres a Johnny Carson rerun on the oldies channel

[snkdy]

Brown is incredible.

[oldunclemark]

   Bengals' defense is understandably frustrated
