he has the hair to play the position.

This may only Be my own theory. But I always felt in the 90s, all those good AFC teams beat up on each other, such that when we got to the SB, we always got some well-rested and healthy NFC opponent that could run us over. I never thought the Cowboys were better than us (we would beat them And the other NFC teams in the regular season). But an easier path to the SB benefitted them. Again, maybe I am the only one to adhere to this theory!

it makes that prior gift of those locally made golf balls make more sense.

i actually worry this will result in more NFC SB wins. Reminds me of the 90s with the Bills. I always thought the AFC was overall stronger back then, but the 1 or 2 good NFC teams (usually the Cowboys) would get to cakewalk through the playoffs and end up winning the super bowl.

yeah, I agree. I am worried about the ravens.

true. My hope is that daniel Jones Guts it out and the giants beat the ravens next week. But the odds of that are probably close to zero.

i think the only way the dolphins get in though is to beat us in week 17. Are you saying we would rest our starters and they win, and we play them even In the playoffs? That scares me a little.

I would love for us to lock up the 2 next week, AND for Miami to lose next week to the raiders to get knocked out of the playoffs. That would make week 17 truly meaningless. Would hate to rest our starters in week 17 in a way that would allow Miami in.

playing with the simulation, odds are we likely play the dolphins or ravens. If we drop our last 2, we could end up playing Tennessee.

haha— don’t worry, we just need Anthony Lynn to outfox them chiefs.

I am putting money on a PI call right here. The Bengals can’t help themselves. They need to throw it near that same terrible CB again—Jackson. He can’t help himself.

finley doesn’t trust Finley.

Negative value. I am worried the Steelers D will score here.

Bengals just trying to lose this game. I am going to say they go 3 and out. Run, run, pass.

well, there’s nothing like building confidence against the Bengals. They are going to get to fix all their ills. Dionate johnson making OBj-like catches out there!

he threw a 2-yard screen pass for like 50 yards last drive. The Bengals are done.

Yup— just as I said, Bengals are going to fold and Steelers are going to win this by 10 (probably more). It was fun while it lasted.

yeah— I mostly meant just no one to get them the ball. Those receivers look a lot better with burrow and mixon.

the problem is cincy has no real offensive talent out there due to injuries. They have to bank on the continued self-destruction by Pittsburgh.

wait, so we could potentially lock up the 2 seed next week, is what you are saying?

well, their defense can. I am going to go out a limb and say they will get a defensive score and their O will hit for a few big plays here, leading then back. I could be wrong— but they are still far better than Cincy At 50% effort.

Those guys look like they are sleep walking. but this is the Bengals. I am going to say Steelers win this by 10 points.

Ugh. Just saw this. ND game postponed. You wonder if the NCAA testing is as fast as NFL. This could just be a Buffalo staffer twice removed from any Syracuse player. with the games so tightly played in NCAA though, there are going to be a ton of cancelations this year. Saturday to Tuesday is too tight a turn around.

It's funny--in only a handful of plays, he was body-slamming guys. He was looking fierce out there!
