They switched it here in Florida...but I turned it on the Sunday ticket channel so I could continue watching.

The game we destroyed the Giants a few years back, it was televised locally and the network pulled it because of the blowout, but DirecTV had it blacked out because it was my local broadcast.  Apparently they weren't watching there at the DTV offices, as they had no idea until I called begging them to lift the blackout (fortunately they did).

Is it common for a game to get pulled? I've seen cut ins to more interesting games, but to completely switch coverage?

I watched a couple of Bengals games (pre Sunday ticket) and we were blowing a team out so the game was pulled. So I had to find the radio feed to continue to follow along.

I'm sure the league will censure the officiating crew. Fines are forthcoming. Possible suspensions. Further drug testing. "Didn't get the memo" is not an acceptable excuse.

Still, I am not very optimistic about this team yet. A win on Thursday would go a long way to curing that.

How? The Steelers beat the Bengals; The Philadelphians beat the Steelers. That makes us pond scum.

a Little but makes us losing the steelers feel even worse.

the only positive is we are only 1 game behind pitt  (or 1.5)  with them having current tie breaker.

There is still the negative of the 3-0 ravens to worry about.

None of that matters if cant get to at least 2-2

I can't help but feel the Ravens are smoke and mirrors right now. They've played some really crappy teams and they've barely been winning. I don't see them winning 11 games or anything, but with this cake schedule of theirs, I could see 8-8 or so.
