The Steelers get away with more holding than the whole NFL combined. It is just an inconsistency because we dont get away with the same things.

I do have some confidence in the Bengals.
But what I need to see right now is them striving to be highly competent at their job. It starts with responsibility. Look in the mirror and realize you have the ability to make it in this league. You wouldn't be here if you couldn't. You wouldn't be here if someone didn't believe in you. But you also have to look at the reality of the situation. Things aren't going well. You have to look at yourself, look at what your doing wrong and keep working at becoming more competent at it. Set yourself a goal, push yourself to achieve it. Get a good night's sleep, work hard. I don't know how everyone else feels, but your entitled to your opinion. But I believe strongly in God. There's a lot of great lessons in that book. Matthew 13:46 "Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it." It's a parable that talks about the price you pay for what you love. Everyone understands that. This is going to be a brutal game. If the Ravens lose this game then it's very likely John Harbaugh is all but gone. So they're gonna come out fighting with everything they got. They're fighting for jobs in Baltimore. They're fighting for roster spots. But so are you. So you need to do everything through the week to make sure you're doing everything to make yourself and ultimately the team better. Cause the NFL can be absolutely brutal and you have to pay the price to be great. It's easy to say I want to be better then Jerry Rice, it's another thing entirely to put in a Jerry Rice work day. But what most people overlook is the pearl, your that pearl. What makes a pearl so unique? It's only formed under great pressure. We as humans have the ability to fight adversity. We have the ability to overcome all the odds, to defy them. It's under this great stress and pressure that we become better versions of ourselves. We were made to overcome them. It starts with the fundamentals. That's your foundation. Without your foundation you'll just be running around in circles. So what I would need to see from the organization, the coaching staff and the players is them striving to be both competent, honest with themselves and taking responsibility. Doing all the steps it takes to becoming competent and confident in yourself and your teammates. Then I'll know we can when a playoff game.

Maybe its our small market, maybe they really hate mike brown ,maybe its the lack of star power or not the right stars on our team. Idk its something. They just dont want us to win its obvious..people are delusional to me if they think its being called fair..

They didnt call the illegal pick to win it for them either. Steelers were holding all game. Probably some more but i forget.

It can be argued that the NFL is biased towards the:Oh yeah they got the hype seattle did out of nowhere,their stadium was so loud and crazy and i remember even cincinnati fans even started liking them. Fans started jumping on the bandwagon. Yeah it can happen that a team catches the hype train..and has a really good team and coaches..its never us though. Certain teams it ssems like they make sure dont go too far. The browns, lions, bengals,are 3 to come to mind. Ask brown fans how many game deciding horrible calls they have had. Pittburgh has been in the playoffs almost every year since the 90s. Like come on no team can do all that. Since ive been a bengals fan i dont remember them having one 4-12 season ,because it would hurt the nfls biggest fanbases feelings. They cant even handle losing hardly at all ,just read what their fans say after one loss lol. About the chiefs , that hunt running back didnt look that damn good coming into the nfl now all the sudden hes the new marshawn lynch breaking tackles plus catches the ball. Kc and the saints were allowed holding all game. I love the sport and its like a mans soap opera to watch. Its entertaining. But i cant get out of my head that its corrupt. I can tell when things arent fair and the nfl refs arent fair. Neither are they in basketball or baseball. And there was some soccer player on youtube admitting he tanked games to lose on purpose. Where there is tons of money theres going to be corruption. I also follow this guy named brian tuoy or something on twitter he points things out all the time.

Well, I have us winning our next 3. We got a reeling Ravens team with Lamar Jackson, and the Browns and Broncos at home.
That said, in order to believe this team stands any shot whatsoever in the playoffs, I'd need to see the defense show a night/day improvement now that we're going back to familiar schemes. I need more consistency out of the offense with more leaning on the run when it's working (and it's been working a lot). Then again, tough to believe a Marvin team is serious regardless. We could be 8-0 at home, trucking every opponent in our path, and we'd lose 34-10 at home in the playoffs.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.

Stop making me believe and then kicking me in the nuts.

Listening to your local radio station about your cities team plays a big part. And the people that are associated like dave lapham. Knowing your teams history. I used to root for the cowboys when i was a kid,but that went away when it was just emmit smith left and they start sucking. Then i fell in love with the stripes and a team that represented where i live. I really dont understand how people can jump on a team from another state.
