Bengal Maniac Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 If you are a Steelers fan you probably say "whew!" As a Bengals fan I say "Drats!"
Bengal Maniac Posted November 18, 2014 Author Posted November 18, 2014 Bell was outstanding. It was pretty obvious the Titans were not going to let Big Ben and the passing game beat them, they punished him. However, Bell punished them for ignoring him. The Titans will hit you and played tough, but they are a year away from winning these types of games. The Steelers continue to usually play to their competition as do the Browns. The Ravens and Bengals seem to handle those they should beat, but both cannot beat those that are better or near them in talent level. Thus we have a wide open division. In my mind the Steelers and Browns would do better in the playoffs because they can play to that level. I think the Ravens or Bengals would exit early. And there is no one that can really say right now who will win the division.

And there is no one that can really say right now who will win the division. Right now its to early for me to tell which team would do better. Right now at this very moment I would say the Steelers and Ravens both could make runs in the playoffs because they both have shown they can do it if they make it. I won't say the Browns because they really haven't shown the ability to win big games yet either, and Hoyer while he has won many games is not very accurate but he does get his best WR back soon. As for the Bengals at this moment I can't say they will make a run YET. I will have to wait and see, if the defense can keep showing signs like this past week of getting back to their old form then that would be a positive. Then also if the Bengals running game keeps improving and they stay overall healthy, then I could see them making a run. However its a wait and see for me on the Bengals to see if they can become more consistent and keep improving in the areas I mentioned.
mcpapa Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Lots being said this morning about Blount leaving the field while the game was in progress; apparently not happy about Bell getting all the carries. I guess there's a reason this guy is on his fourth NFL squad in five seasons.
Clyde Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Sounds like the Steelers have an issue with Blount. He was mad and left the field early. Showered before the game was over and went and sat on the bus.
SSC Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 I hope Tomlin stays around forever. He's worse than Marvin. That TO at the end of the half almost cost them the game.
TheDeuce Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Bell is better than Blount. You don't need that kind of headache on any team. I say good riddance.
TheDeuce Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 I hope Tomlin stays around forever. He's worse than Marvin. :lol:
spindoc Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 I hope Tomlin stays around forever. He's worse than Marvin. That TO at the end of the half almost cost them the game. Timeout? Turnover?
spindoc Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Bell is better than Blount. You don't need that kind of headache on any team. I say good riddance.RBs are a dime a dozen. Pilfer one off another practice squad. Considering his performance against the Jets, I'd have parked him too.
spindoc Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 And I'd like to go on record and say that Mike Mitchell is the worst safety in football. A good friend told me that it would be a terrible signing when it happened. He was 100% correct.
footmaster Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 I hope Tomlin stays around forever. He's worse than Marvin. That TO at the end of the half almost cost them the game. Tomlin has the track record of winning playoff games though... And let's face it, overall Steeler talent and/or health has been down the last few seasons. Marvin has done less with more talent than Tomlin has.

How can you say that the Browns don't have the ability to win big games after they dismantled the Bengals in Cincy a couple weeks ago on Thursday night? I was there. Yes, Dalton stunk up the place, but Hoyer was very good in their play action offense.

I was there. Yes, Dalton stunk up the place, but Hoyer was very good in their play action offense. Its pretty easy to say that considering the team they beat in the Bengals is a team who has usually always sucked in prime time games, and that was nothing different. The browns didn't really do much to say wow they are great, however the Bengals did plenty to show wow they are sucking. Its hard to say that shows they will do well in a playoff game or something, since the team they beat has sucked in those types of games for awhile now. You have to remember I was one of the few people who actually talked up the Browns even before the season started because I did realize they were putting together a pretty good team. However at this point, they are just like the Bengals in the fact they have proven that they could do something in the playoffs. The Ravens and Steelers have a history of doing well in the playoffs if they make it. As I have said with the Bengals anything is possible once you make the playoffs. However if were going on right now who would have the best shot to do well, you have to go with who has shown that they can.
