***Week 18 GameDay Thread - Bengals @ Steelers***

[Atomic Orange]

I'll take a win over the Steelers any day.

3-3 in the division.

Nooooooo Joe Buck trying to save Lou’s job rn

[Fan_in_Kettering]

From 4-8 to 9-8 is miraculous.

How awful would this defense be without him?

No, because he’s not a loudmouth DIVA - he’s a reserved, quiet, private professional and doesn’t force his name to be broadcasted w annoying ego bs. He just goes about his business w class.

[*pally*]

I think we saw great growth in Kris Jenkins and McKinley Jackson

And considering he sits between 2 sub par guards Ted Karras quietly had a good season

Wasn't a rerecord breaking offensive game by any stretch, but it's a W. As much as I dislike the Ravens I still hope they smack the squeelers around badly in the playoffs. They're becoming Cleveland with their QB stock suddenly. Wilson is a FA after the season and Fields isn't Burrow despite his OSU days..

He deserves it. I’m not sure if being on a bad team will sway voters though.

I think Lamar wins MVP after this performance from Burrow to end the year.
And likely Lamar would have won anyway because he won more.

I wouldn't try to imply that Pittsburgh beat themselves. The Bengals dominated this game statistically and in T.O.P.
It should have been a comfortable win. If anyone hurt themselves, it was the Bengals.

[Browns Town Bengal]

It's a damn shame that Moooooooooooooth dropped that 4th down catch.

Tee was noticeably limping walking down the tunnel

Honestly both teams beat themselves and deserved to lose.
Bengals maybe deserved it a little more because of time of possession.

[Browns Town Bengal]

Not to brag but I did predict 9-8 before the season. At 4-8, that prediction was looking moronic.

[Bengalitis]

The games MVPs were the squeelers' WR, Williams and Pickens did not show up at all.

No one with a triple digit IQ would have predicted last summer that the Bengals would go 9-8.

[Fan_in_Kettering]

That was a low scoring AFC North classic game.

[Whacked]

Does anyone know if TWATT got hurt towards the end of the game?

I don’t remember seeing any of the last 2 drives.

They absolutely can.  The question is if they will even attempt to.  They are using the luxury they have with the locked in 1 seed to rest important players, but they also have the ability to make a vote on who has the ability to get into the post season by failing to be competitive.  Many insiders have pointed out that coaching staffs of the AFC field have stated they are concerned about facing us in the post season, and the Chiefs can literally choose play calls that can insure we can't be there.

So Nick Bosa and T.J Watt are Loudmouth Divas or you just talking shit?
