Yes, I meant Gilliam. Thanks for the correction.

Well, one thing I can say is that Lamar has never swept the Steelers. Hopefully that holds true again this season and Pitts still has a fighting chance at that division spot. I am also a guy that does not want to play Ravens their hometown. Cinci also has a good shot at that division if they manage to beat us this week. Not sure how I feel about them just yet.

I don't think so but I really hope so. I'll be happy if we just beat the team and get out of this week with no more injuries. Dont care about ugly. Dont care if its a nailbiter and we win by 1 point. Just get the W. This is the last team on the schedule that I worry about. As much as I talk about how I think the Pats are good, I think we beat them in round 2, so they dont even make me worried.

They could also roll with 2 TEs and a combo of Gilliam/extra lineman. They use to employ an extra lineman all the time until they switched to these TE sets. As far as the run game goes, its just as effective.

depends how well that is working and how well our D is doing. They start falling behind it’s not going to be good.

They let the Jets score 39 points. If our offense can't put up points against the Bengals then they might as well just pack their bags and call it a season.

I think the Bills drop 1 or 2 more. I dont think we win this week against the Bengals. Depending on how they look this week, I may not think we even beat the Pats. We shall see. Injuries all over the place. Including our best pass rushers and our best pass catcher. Defense is up and down. Offense is up and down. Its just too much variance for me to think the Bills can pull off winning out this year. Possible if they get their crap together but I dont see it.

You know they still actually practice in a walkthrough right? Its just no pads and no contact.

Didnt we use to have some of the best training staff and then a couple years in McD just fired them all? Maybe I am misremembering.

Watson is washed. At best they might surprise someone for a bit running a different type of offense or something.

Well if we win out then we wouldn't be clinching until week 18 either. You are right if they lose to miami or jets because they would have more conference losses. I dont see them losing to either team. Nothing indicates they would. We go through this every week. This past week people were trying to hype themselves thinking the Giants would beat them. Sure, one of those loses could happen but there is nothing to suggest it will. Just like there is nothing to indicate we will win out.

Its the NFL preview of the game. NFL doesnt allow YouTube embeds unfortunately, but you can click it and watch it on YouTube.

Yeah and I said this after the game and was told I was completely wrong. Two other football people have said it too, that I know of.

I'm not talking about the playoffs. I'm talking about winning the division. They aren't going to drop 3 games with their crap schedule. Thats assuming we even win out. As I said, on paper it could happen. Realistically, likely not. The division leader is currently 6-6. They play the Ravens again which they are 1-0 with and the Steelers they are 1-1 with and both those teams play each other. Its completely feasible for them to win the division if they win out.
