The Lonely NFL Thread (complete with tumbleweeds)

I guess you didn't see the Steeler-Bengal game today, then. Being 5-5 just doesn't describe getting shellacked 41-10 by the Bengals.

Detroit... meh. They're perennially bad. I even forget they're in the league.

Pittsburgh is going nowhere, so I guess seeing the Pats making a deep run wouldn't be all that bad. They'll probably trip up against either the Chiefs or Ravens (can't stand them) in the AFC... but right now they seem to have an ok probably path to the SB.

Tampa Bay's biggest hurdles in making the SB would be your Packers and the Cardinals.

A part of me is still hoping for a Brady-Belichick showdown. I'd call it the GOAT Super Bowl.

I saw the score -41-10, not the game. One sided. Again, My perspective is that good season or so-so Steelers is a hot/cold team. Rarely do they play an entire season the same. Somewhere they will look better or worse, but rarely are they on a consistent trajctory to a winning season.

All I want is an Aaron Rodgers SB. I think there is a possibilty Detroit will beat Green Bay. Say what? They meet last game. Big chance they will rest their starters thats why!

I'll be happy if the Steelers finish at .500 or just above.
But.....

Ben Roethlisberger is about 500 years old in NFL years.
The defense resembles a torn sieve.
The running game couldn't gain 100 yards breaking out of a wet paper bag.



The recent Steelers may well have been a "puttering around to a 9-7 season" kind of team.

But this is a proud franchise with a winning tradition... and seasons like this one hurt Pittsburgh more than it would hurt say... a Detroit, for instance.

Former Steeler, now sports analyst Ryan Clark pretty much said as much in ESPN over the last few days. These aren't your "usual" Steelers.

Can I blame Rodgers failure due to taking ivermectin? JK!!!!!

13-10 Wow, How does one of the most profficient QB's in the history of the game, choke so bad in playoffs? One SB win in his 1st major year and jack nada since.

Playoff run vs 49ers Rodger is 0-4 I guess they can say I OWN YOU!

Well Rams-Bucs should be a good one. Bills-Chiefs I havent seen much of either team as well as Bengals who won.

Rodgers loses on the final play via botched special teams followed up by a field goal. I'm rooting for Brady now that my #1 fizzled out...again.

Well i SP ke too soon, extra time on the way, LA bet on the over for fumbles i think.


And again i speak too soon la get a good pass for a long gain and spike the ball with 4 seconds left and surely can't miss this field goal, they're not green bay after all....and he does it, fun ending

Close game alert, pitch invader dressed in red disturbs the game at the two minute warning in kansas... 4th and 13 for buffalo who were 5 down and old buffalo bill goes and gets a touchdown..then the gits go for the 3 points and it's looking unlikely and the quarter back git makes the pass..so buffalo 3 up with 1.54 left..everyone has three timeouts left.
