They don’t suck. And Burrows is the real deal.
Also they were amazingly un-injured the whole season. That counts for a lot.

they just beat KC in a nail biter… they don’t suck

Parity in the NFL this year has really decreased the quality of the play, IMHO. It's hard to watch a lot of mediocre teams play every week.

Gotta give Brady credit. AB walks off the field in Q3 and he leads a last minute 90+ yard drive hitting some no name dude for the win. Yeah, it was the Jets, but still . . . .

Chase going beast mode sure helped out. The Bengals are very offense dependent. We’ll see how the playoffs go.

Chase goes off for 260+yards, but Burrow gets hurt again. The trade off of going for Chase early in the draft instead of an OL. Still, it seems to have paid off on balance for them, at least this year.

he got hurt because of his coach's stupidity, they got lucky facemask call on 4th and 1...that was the worst play calling on 4th and inches

Yep. They got lucky that whole sequence worked out for them. It easily could have cost them the game. Notwithstanding the analytics, I think coaches have figured out they're less likely to be second guessed when they "go for the win", etc. on 4th down.

Yeah. The Steelers are done.

If the Chargers win today, they are currently up 17-3 on Denver, they will play a win and your in game next week with the Raiders. Thus the Chargers or Raiders will be in.

And the Colts play the Jags next week, thus that is a win.

I have this strange feeling the Steelers win tomorrow for Ben. And then they lose the last game against the Ravens because the Ravens will be playing to make the playoffs.

At this point, the Steelers will pick from somewhere within 10-18.

Steelers will win tom because it’s the same old Bumbling Browns - who are 1-3 in their last four - and Steelers haven’t lost at home on MNF since Bubby Brister was the starter.

Browns doing Browns things will be way worse than Steelers doing Tomlin things.

the Ravens also have to hope for the Colts to lose to the Jags…so good luck with that…it’s looking like one of Chargers-Raiders plus Colts will make it in, and no one else from the AFC North

Oh. AB is the victim. Ok.

He’s not saying AB is a victim. Brandt is old school - so he would never believe AB is some victim.

He’s just saying AB wouldn’t have been allowed to continue this way if he didn’t have so many enablers letting his behavior slide because of his talent.

I mean thats the NFL in a nutshell. If you are talented and can play, it takes A LOT for teams to pass on you.

There is a lot and then there is everything AB has done the last 3 years - he’s in his own universe right now.

He’s a time bomb wherever he goes and org still don’t get it yet?

Insane.

I think Berfect’s hit in that game w/ Cincinnati ruined him.

He was apparently pretty bad before that, but I’m sure that hit didn’t help matters.

Hopefully he gets some help - mental illness is something none of us should take delight in.
He needs help ASAP before he winds up taking his own life, or the lives of others. Happens far too often with mental illness.
