OFFICIAL NFL Week by Week Thread:

[YoungJRNY]

. Lucky, because over at Bengals and Patriots forums, the fans are SCARED TO DEATH to see Pittsburgh.

I'm shaking in my boots. San Diego doesn't scare me. Indianapolis doesn't scare me. It's all about Shitsburgh I'll make a prediction right now...Both the Bengals and the Patriots lose next weekend. The reality is that if you finish with the 4th seed, you play the Colts if you win your first game. If you finish with the third seed, you play San Diego. I'd personally rather face the Colts and I suspect Belichick feels the same way. If Brady plays on Sunday, I suspect he won't be in there at all in the second half and I wouldn't be stunned if Belichick pulled him before halftime or didn't play him at all.

Have to agree with JiB. Pittsburgh isn't scaring anyone. They just aren't that good.

I guarantee you Indy wants no part of San Diego though!

Pittsburgh would be the scariest team in the tournament, hands down and all the writers, columnists and fans are saying the same. But no one has to worry anymore and the Bungles or Pats can breathe. The Pats will beat Houston for #3 and the Bengals will rest their starters against the Jets. The Jets not only received a gift, but they have it PERSONALLY GIFT WRAPPED from the NFL. To make the playoffs, they need to beat two teams resting their starters. Couldn't have played out better for the Jets. As for Cinci, they are missing the fact that they are ailing and have BARELY beat the Chiefs, and would lose 3 outta the last 4 games. Not a way to go into the playoffs if your Cincy. If anything they should beat down a team that needs to win and make the playoffs and be taken a LITTLE serious in prime time. Over in Bungles land, they are hoping and praying they throw it so they don't see Pittsburgh.

If the Steelers are eliminated, I am rooting for Green Bay to take it all. I've said it all season they were going to turn it around. I'm calling GB/Philly NFC Championship Game. If the Steelers are done, GO PACK GO!

[WalkInMyShoes]

GREAT weekend as the Packers won. ITs all that matters... hehe... I dont think they will get very far once the playoffs start... but you never know! THE WEEKEND will be complete if the Vikes blow up ( I mean implode) against the Bears tonight in Chicago.

+1000

Why are the Bengals so afraid of the Steelers? Last I checked, they played them twice this season and beat them both times. Hell, they haven't been that great against the rest of the league. At this point, they could use Shitsburgh to get some confidence

Ok...off the soapbox about the Steelers...we all know you despise them, it's ok...you are Cheatriots fan...we understand how after so many losing seasons in the years prior to this decade you can become bitter.

that would be the key... hard to beat a team three times in the same season... and the pressure lies on the Bengals at this point.

[Rockindeano]

Pittsburgh would be the scariest team in the tournament, hands down and all the writers, columnists and fans are saying the same.

Oh please. They can't score for shit, and if Baltimore hadn't had touchdowns taken back and all those penalties called on themselves they would have lost yet again. It took a 4th down and goal to beat GB last week and the weeks before you lost to KC, Cleveland and Oakland. That's NOT a scary team to be afraid of.

But no one has to worry anymore and the Bungles or Pats can breathe. The Pats will beat Houston for #3

I'll take that bet. Houston is still alive and at home. NE doesn't have to play for a damned thing. Houston should win this game.

As for Cinci, they are missing the fact that they are ailing and have BARELY beat the Chiefs, and would lose 3 outta the last 4 games. Not a way to go into the playoffs if your Cincy.

You're right in the fact that Cincy has lost 2 out of the last four, but you conveniently forget they were a loss at highly regarded Minnesota and a close one at SD. I would take that record the last four games rather than Pittsburgh amazing stretch of losses to shitty clubs at home as well as the high flying Browns. What, a 4th and goal to beat GB; a loss at Cleveland, lol; a loss to the Raiders; a loss to the Chiefs. Impressive. Pittsburgh is NOT a scary team UNLESS you consider in Cincys' case, if they were to play Pittsburgh, that it's tough to beat the same team three times in one season. Other than that, Cincinnati with all its' faults are a notch better than the Steelers. If you don't believe me, look at the standings.

If you aren't cheating then you aren't trying, and it's only cheating if you get caught. New England is the model franchise in all of sports, along with the Lakers and Red Wings.

[Ehwmatt]

While I agree Trav's fan allegiance is getting the best of him in calling the Steelers "scary," mark my words, they WOULD take out the Bengals if they met in the playoffs. #1 The Bengals are NOT the team they were through the first half of the season... their offense looks worse than ours! and #2 As pointed out, very tough to win three times in a row, particularly over a divisional rival.

I now hope Pittsburgh gets in and has to play in the Jungle. Me thinks they won't get all those gift calls they always seem to get. Fuck them and their yellow faggoty towels. Yeah yeah, you're blue collar workaholics who attend bitter snow driven games and eat, sleep and shit Steeler yellow, but the fact is you are behind BOTH Cincinnati and Baltimore in your own division. How the fuck you can state they are scary in the playoffs is bewildering to me. I only see two scary teams in the AFC and they both wear blue in their uniforms.

Deano, in your little tirade of hate, you DO realize that the Steelers beat Green Bay (if we can't score, then we scored 37 against the leagues #2 defense), San Diego, Denver, Minnesota and Baltimore? Yes, they've lost to shitty clubs but they have also beat the leagues elite in dominating fashion so there is no doubt in my mind with a healthy Troy back and with Ben's experience in the playoffs (who is as good as ANYONE in the playoffs not named Brady) that the Steelers would no doubt be feared. Noone wants to see a defending Champion in the playoffs, period. You can NOT give the Steelers a spot in the playoffs, and your going to see Cincinnati FOLD because of it. They do NOT want to see Pittsburgh, GUARANTEED because they would do MAJOR damage.

As far as Steelers not beating Baltimore, yeayea, save it. Baltimore are punks and believe it or not, Cincinnati would of lost AT LEAST 4 games this season if it wasn't for MAJOR penalties during the coarse of the last minute drive, a game which includes Baltimore , Green Bay, AND Cleveland!

I just call it like I see it bro. Bengals and Patriots fans are saying the same thing. The Steelers lost both games to Cincy in a mere of 10 points. In both games, they dropped 2 touchdown passes, and had a interception run back to a TD, and a kick return ran back. If the Steelers play the Bungles, no doubt in my mind the Steelers would completely destroy them at this point. The Steelers MIGHT not get far but they would certainly make it pretty close to the Title game. It's one game too late and the Steelers blame NOBODY but themselves, but damn if they make it...

First off whipper snapper, I am not on a hating tirade- it's called running smack.

Secondly, I see you include Baltimore as an elite team. Well if you include Baltimore, then one would think you would surely have to include cincinnati as they are two games better than Baltimore. So your theory is half correct. You did beat GB and SD but lost TWO times to the elite or shitty Cincinnati club. You can decide what they are. I am not jocking them. I think they will lose in the playoffs too, but I am not afraid of Pittsburgh at all. They couldn't figure out Zimmer's defense twice, so I guess they will all of a sudden get it the third time right?

GB and Minny are good wins no argument there. Baltimore is certainly NOT as they are a horrendous team and SD from the start of the season to now is basically Jekyll and Hyde. Denver sucks too.

Your Cinci penalty argument is pretty funny considering you're the one always railing against 7 Wishes and S2M who try to blame the refs. Come on man, you can do better.

you beat GB without AL HARRIS and ARRON Kampman..... and only won because a penalty on an interception during the last drive... but that aside... Steelers are the scary team IF they make the playoffs...

IF you comprehend what I'm saying, I make no excuses. I was rebutting Deano's "refs" argument in saying Cincy won games the same way and that was getting the calls, period. I wasn't arguing or blaming the refs in no way shape or form and stand by it. Beating Baltimore is HUGE considering the rivalry. Beating a rival in a MUST win game to remain alive is a ginormous win and applaud the Steelers for not tanking! They responded like Champs and I'm happy about that. Take want you want from it, even though Deano doesn't want to admit it, the Steelers are MORE THAN CAPABLE of taking out Cincy and I think Cincy is the weakest of all the teams and that includes the NFC as well.

Yes we did. And you LOST to Pit without Polamalu OR Aaron Smith. As far as the penalty, Hines got MAULED on that play, setting the stage for the interception if you indeed watched the game.

I already conceded both of those things at the end. Cincy was tough at the start of the year but one too many injuries and a loss of swagger on offense have killed any chance they had. Baltimore still licks nuts, rival or not.

You jumped on me for claiming I blamed the refs for Cincy winning those games and that's not the case. Deano said "if it wasn't for the penatlies the Ravens win blahblah" you get my point. I was saying if you want to take that road, then the Bengals won at least 4 games the same way the Steelers beat Baltimore and that was because of penalties that had a right to be called so no way was I argueing anything about the refs.

As far if Balty sucks nuts, it doesn't matter. Pittsburgh/Baltimore games set the standard and this game is always a brutal battle. The Steelers lost in OT against them this year with a 3rd string QB. Having to beat Balty, who was a win away from clinching a spot, to ONLY remain alive, is a huge and applauding win. Like I said, the Steelers could have tanked, and they have NOT. That shows character and exactly what I want to see heading into next season.

As far as the ref argument, don't lower yourself to their level son

As far as the 3rd string QB, well, like I said, Baltimore is terrible. I'd applaud this win as much as Santonio running the right route... it should be expected.

[YoungJRNY]

While I agree Trav's fan allegiance is getting the best of him in calling the Steelers "scary," mark my words, they WOULD take out the Bengals if they met in the playoffs. #1 The Bengals are NOT the team they were through the first half of the season... their offense looks worse than ours! and #2 As pointed out, very tough to win three times in a row, particularly over a divisional rival.

I just call it like I see it bro. Bengals and Patriots fans are saying the same thing. The Steelers lost both games to Cincy in a mere of 10 points. In both games, they dropped 2 touchdown passes, and had a interception run back to a TD, and a kick return ran back. If the Steelers play the Bungles, no doubt in my mind the Steelers would completely destroy them at this point. The Steelers MIGHT not get far but they would certainly make it pretty close to the Title game.

Excuse excuse excuse... then they lost... twice

No excuses my man, and I was the FIRST to come here and congratulate Prog and FF. Point is, the Bengals didn't beat us down. They simply jumped on mistakes and stole W's and I respect that. If the Steelers eliminate those mistakes, they win. My point is, hypothetical speaking, if the Steelers/Bungles meet in the playoffs, the Steelers are MORE THAN capable of killing Cincy, which you've already said.

[Enigma869]

Patriots fans are saying the same thing.

Not this Patriots fan. A couple of points here. First and foremost, I don't believe the Patriots are one of the NFL elite teams this season, so I can assure you that there are MANY teams in the playoffs who scare me a hell of a lot more than Shitsburgh. When the season began, I would have believed that Pittsburgh would be a threat. After watching an entire season of NFL football, Pittsburgh doesn't scare me, even a little. I promise you that if Kansas City can beat Pittsburgh, the Patriots surely could beat them! The Steelers aren't nearly as good as you seem to think they are, given all of this "If the Steelers didn't suck so bad that they're not going to make the playoffs, be afraid...be very afraid". You sound fucking ridiculous and like a moronic football fan who knows nothing (which I know isn't the case wiith you)! While the Patriots aren't an elite team, they're a better team than the Steelers are this season.

The Steelers lost both games to Cincy in a mere of 10 points.

Right, and the Patriots lost to the Colts by one point and lost to Miami by one point. Who gives a fuck. A loss is a loss is a loss is a loss. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how many points you lose by. It still goes in the "L" column!

In both games, they dropped 2 touchdown passes, and had a interception run back to a TD, and a kick return ran back. If the Steelers play the Bungles, no doubt in my mind the Steelers would completely destroy them at this point. The Steelers MIGHT not get far but they would certainly make it pretty close to the Title game.

Holy fuck. StocktontoMalone has taken over your fucking brain. You sound like that dude with all of these pussy excuses.

[Rockindeano]

Ok so I'm the asshole?

I just mentioned that Baltimore could have beat the Steelers on the road had they only taken 13 penalties and not 17.

Like I said, MYOPIA in Steel Town. Good Democratic city though.

You jumped on me for claiming I blamed the refs for Cincy winning those games and that's not the case. Deano said "if it wasn't for the penatlies the Ravens win blahblah" you get my point. I was saying if you want to take that road, then the Bengals won at least 4 games the same way the Steelers beat Baltimore and that was because of penalties that had a right to be called so no way was I argueing anything about the refs.

As far if Balty sucks nuts, it doesn't matter. Pittsburgh/Baltimore games set the standard and this game is always a brutal battle. The Steelers lost in OT against them this year with a 3rd string QB. Having to beat Balty, who was a win away from clinching a spot, to ONLY remain alive, is a huge and applauding win. Like I said, the Steelers could have tanked, and they have NOT. That shows character and exactly what I want to see heading into next season.

As far as the ref argument, don't lower yourself to their level son

As far as the 3rd string QB, well, like I said, Baltimore is terrible. I'd applaud this win as much as Santonio running the right route... it should be expected.

haha, I'm not dude, I was just letting Deano know that his beloved and unstoppable Bungles won the same way he claims the Steelers did. It's reverse physiology.

But, no, it isn't expected for the Steelers to win that game. I haven't been that nervous for a game in a LONG TIME. Hands sweating and all because I know what the Steelers/Ravens matchups bring and that's the form of unpredictability, the way rivals SHOULD play.

Cincinnati is not my beloved team. I don't see how a fan can wrap themselves around a NFL team like one can a college team especially after going to a certain school but anyway- I like Cincinnati a bit and always have. I have always HATED Pittsburgh since that fag fairy fat fuck Franco Harris and that balding motherfucker Terry Bradshaw. Always hated Cowher and his fake as shit grimace he always displayed. Hated em forever. I hate Pittsburgh as much as I hate the GOP- a LOT!

Patriots fans are saying the same thing.

Not this Patriots fan. A couple of points here. First and foremost, I don't believe the Patriots are one of the NFL elite teams this season, so I can assure you that there are MANY teams in the playoffs who scare me a hell of a lot more than Shitsburgh. When the season began, I would have believed that Pittsburgh would be a threat. After watching an entire season of NFL football, Pittsburgh doesn't scare me, even a little. I promise you that if Kansas City can beat Pittsburgh, the Patriots surely could beat them! The Steelers aren't nearly as good as you seem to think they are, given all of this "If the Steelers didn't suck so bad that they're not going to make the playoffs, be afraid...be very afraid". You sound fucking ridiculous and like a moronic football fan who knows nothing (which I know isn't the case wiith you)! While the Patriots aren't an elite team, they're a better team than the Steelers are this season.

The Steelers lost both games to Cincy in a mere of 10 points.

Right, and the Patriots lost to the Colts by one point and lost to Miami by one point. Who gives a fuck. A loss is a loss is a loss is a loss. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how many points you lose by. It still goes in the "L" column!

In both games, they dropped 2 touchdown passes, and had a interception run back to a TD, and a kick return ran back. If the Steelers play the Bungles, no doubt in my mind the Steelers would completely destroy them at this point. The Steelers MIGHT not get far but they would certainly make it pretty close to the Title game.

Holy fuck. StocktontoMalone has taken over your fucking brain. You sound like that dude with all of these pussy excuses.

I agree with you John. A loss is a loss is a loss. My point is, people talk here and every chance they get need to slam the Steelers, which is acceptable and a compliment since it's a rare thing for the Steelers to lose the way they did this year, and I expect that and smirk at it. I don't make NO excuses. Just saying the Steelers were a play away at beating Cincy BOTH times and people like Deano claim Cincy is SO much better and I don't see that as the case. The Steelers are inconsistent and aren't as good as they were in some games, but they certainly aren't as BAD as some here think. I accept this since we are still the Champs and love the attention the Steelers cause amongst the fanbase's of the Clowns, Bungles or the Raturds. You are the POSTER BOY of a New England Patriots fan. NO CLASS.

EXACTLY, and I picked up on that. You stated your case my man and need to say NO MORE. Translation: You'll NEVER give Pittsburgh credit or the benefit of the doubt, even in the midst of 6 championships. (I remember arguing the SAME last season to you and you said the Steelers are no threat and that SD would kick the shit out of Pitt. We all know what happened. )

If I had a penny for everytime some Pittsburgh hot bag of air dropped the 6 championships I'd be fuckin retired in Cabo right now! You weren't even alive for 4 of them my man.

Sad argument and I don't really need to address this. I understand the comment and realize you ARE a Clowns fan so I give you a pass. History never changes dude. You are a hypocrite as it is and claimed earlier that the Browns have "6,000 championships" and that you can't deny history of the "era" of the sport and it needs to be respected. I say you don't celebrate Steve Perry and Journey because you WEREN'T born when he became lead singer and you've never seen him perform for Journey. No matter WHAT you say it's Pittsburgh Steelers: 6 Super Bowl Championships. But I WAS alive for 2. 2 more than the Browns will EVER have
