Wow!

I knew Pittsburgh was a bunch of pretenders but they've completely fallen apart down the stretch of the season. I hadn't even played to watch this game because I figured it was a gimme for the Steelers, yet I flicked it on at halftime just to see the score and it was 17-0 for the Bengals. Ben Roethlisberger is done (I really thought he was done 2 season ago when he threw 5 picks against Jacksonville but alas they gave him one more big payday and trotted his lifeless husk of a corpse out in the black and yellow for more action).

The Browns have a realistic shot to win their division for the first time since the civil rights movement.

I liked end of the first. Bengals ran a 4-2-5 defense. Juju cuts a cross-route. Von Bell cracked him good.

What is this, Jonathan E. in Rollerball?

...I'm gonna hold you on this one and when Fields looks like Haskins because every OSU QB is overhyped garbage we're gonna relook at this like Cowherd's take on Sam Darnold.

In fairness, if he ends up not being garbage, I will roast my own take on Fields.

Haskins is cookie-dough compared to Fields but let's see...Fields could of course turn out to be a dud.

I saw “cookie dough” & “Fields” in Live New Posts and immediately thought this was a cookie thread.
I am disappointed.

You overly sensitive assholes need to get over JuJu's dancing on your logo. What a bunch of crazy people.

NBA is back! I'm more curious to see the Nets-Warriors matchup tonight than the LA one.

Yeah that really is such a non-story. I could see if he was doing it during the games in a taunting fashion but he's just messing around during the warmups. Who cares??

I may actually tune into this. I watched a little bit of the Nets preseason game and it looks like KD has slightly lost a step, but obviously still very effective.

Well, apparently the Bengal boys were gunning for JuJu long before the game. Now Tomlin intends to talk to JuJu about his dancing on team logos. I swear to christ, don't people have a sense of humor?

Brooklyn's bringing the heat right now.

It's not a big deal imo (certainly not worth getting kicked out of a game for like Cam Jordan) but one of those things when an opportunity comes along to take the guy's head off on a down don't do him any favors. Helluva hit.

No shocker there.

Andrew Wiggins is one season away from being two seasons away from having a breakout season.

Brady will get to twiddle his thumbs during the pro bowl. Good to see Josh Allen-Diggs get in...Trey Hendrickson got left out.

I'm making a bold prediction: Bills beat Kansas City in the AFC Championship game.

It is the year of the road squad (home field advantage isn't what it used to be):

In 2011 Green Bay were defending champs (like KC). They dominated the regular season at 15-1 (like KC is doing)...lost to the Giants in the conference finals.

James Harden acting a fucking fool. This shit had already gone too far, but now he's dumping kerosene on a fire. I just feel so bad for Stephen Silas, man.

This just seems to go here.


But I agree with you, it's certainly more likely than the Steelers who, just a week ago, had people writing shit like this.
