Beautiful pass by AJ. Too bad about that OPI.
Heh, looks like y'all are living 2-3 minutes in my future. I'm streaming the game on P+ and there appears to be a sizable broadcast delay here.
So I'll just clam-up and split-screen with Red Zone to keep tabs on my fantasy teams.
Carry on.

OMG, see that splint/cast on Joe's right wrist?!? Has anyone told Mike Florio that there's an injury that might affect all the bets he's got on this game?!?

The NFL can be a very odd organization at times. They worry about useless shit like this because if the possible effect on the gambling angle; yet they completely ignore the obvious officiating crisis that has a much larger effect on the gambling side of the business.
And they ignore that a high-profile insider -slash- spokesman has become so obsessed over this that it's beginning to look like he definitely lost money on that game.
If Florio or Rappaport or others like them are allowed to bet on NFL games, their reporting of breaking news - or their decision to suppress said reporting - may affect legal bets being placed, impacting the odds and skewing payouts in their favor.
Worse, if they end up losing a large bet, they may be encouraged to manufacture a "conspiracy" such as this one, claiming that info they would have reported upon was kept from them, and calling for a sort of Spanish Inquisition to root out those responsible. It helps them PR-wise, as they seem to be taking on the "big bad NFL" as a champion of justice, and solidify the perception of them being a victimized insider, thwarted from doing their job by a conspiracy to cover-up "the truth". All of this is a lie, of course, if it turns out the motivation is due to a large lost bet....
Florio has lost credibility, and his PFT subscriber numbers are likely down since he began this irrational obsessive pursuit.

Here's a photo from the Super Bowl....
Look at Joe's right wrist... he's clearly flexing it because it's likely hurt! Quick, get Florio on the line!!!!

But we don't play the Glory or Dragons this year, and this is an "enemies" thread.... so circling us back onto topic.
We play Dolts, needing to pass them if we're to get into the Wildcard mix. A win draws us even and gives us the tiebreak over them (like we have over Buffalo). Then the Dolts play a rested Stealers team who has the tiebreak over US and who we also need to pass to get into the mix. But there might be an advantage to the Dolts losing that game
Hear me out. Consider what might happen if the whole AFC North gets into the playoffs. Someone has to finish 4th, and right now it's us by a game AND all the tiebreakers, so call it a game and a half. There are only five games to play.
I have every confidence that playing at home or away for any playoff games will make no difference - just get in and let the team do the rest. But regardless we get a 4th place schedule next year. That's Carolina (Andy), New England (Zappe) and Vegas (who knows?) while BAL would get Atlanta (The Riddler), Miami (Tua) and KC (Mahomes), CFT gets Tampa (Mayfly), Buffalo (Allen) and Denver (Russ), and PIT gets New Orleans (Carr), Jets (Rodgers?) and Chargers (Herbert) (based on current standings).

Oh yeah…that was the time in the Spanish Pyrenees when we were driving a rental Peugeot in which the radio wouldn’t work unless the windshield wipers were on.
I remember it well.
It was a Citroen. Which is French for "Lemon". And it was the headlights - if they were on the radio had no power.
Same car we gave a ride to Peter Hadhazy and, I believe, Ken Einhorn in after the team buses left Montjuic for the hour-long drive from Barcelona to Santa Suzana.
I remember it weller. ; )

Meanwhile, the Stealers seem to have been found guilty of hiding evidence of a concussion suffered by TJ Watt on national TV Thursday Night.... to the point where he was given smelling salts and even a helmet with a tinted visor so none of the refs or cameras could see his pupils after the coaching staff and trainers sent him back onto the field.
But Florio is silent.
Either a double standard OR Mikey didn't have money on this game.

Isobel's work for this week:
Note: Several of us ordered her 2024 Cincinnatus: The Gentleman Tiger calendars. I got mine this week - they're terrific....
She has sold out of them EXCEPT for a few that have tiny imperfections on the cover. They're discounted by >20%. Here's her blurb about them:
"25% of the purchase price goes to Perfectly Imperfect Pet Rescue, a new charity in Ohio run by a fellow Bengals fan and working to help pets – especially cats! – who are unwanted or ill. This is a cause very close to my heart, and it seems only right that The Gentleman Tiger helps out his smaller brothers and sisters 🙂 Support your team, an independent artist, and a local charity, all with one purchase!
Calendars will be shipped from here in Nova Scotia, so likely won’t make it before Christmas now. I will ship them as soon as I can!"

This was a (sort of) unexpected treat.
Even with a win on Sunday though, I’m not certain it moves the playoff needle in the Bengals favor with regards to the Stealers?
Not yet.
Division tiebreakers come first, and we're 0-1 against them and are 0-4 in the North. We will likely lose all tiebreakers to all North teams this year - we need a better record. Even if we draw level with them and CLE this weekend, we're still 4th in the North and behind them in the Wild Card.

24.50 from Zeke. I'll take it.

Stealers host 2-10 Arizona. Lose
Stealers host 2-10 New England. Lose
They were what we knew them to be. Without a doubt, the worst 7-4 team the league has ever seen. They are still 7-6, making them the worst 7-6 team the league has ever seen.
Fuck them. Fuck them running. 7-10 would be a fitting ending. Put them out of our misery.

3/8 19 0-1 = 6.3 QBR
https://www.pro-football-reference.com/about/qb-rating.htm
If I were to take a snap and spike the ball, my rating would be 39.6. Amish QBs are 4-5x better than Steeler QBs.

They're already chanting for Mason Rudolph.
As if that's gonna help. Lol.

The Pats immediately march down the field to take a 7-0 lead at the cow pasture. lol
I lost Rhamondre Stevenson, Tank Dell, and Christian Kirk last week and lost by 10 - facing a must-win this week to make the playoffs and I had to start Zeke.
So, I'm okay with that first drive.

What’s with the Colts and substance abuse problems?
You've obviously never woken up every morning and realized.... "Aw hell, Indiana again."
Corduroy leisure suits were invented here. They play Plinko for recreation. Their license plates used to encourage residents to "Wander" around. They boo their own injured players. Corn and soybeans everywhere there isn't urban blight - except in Bloomington where it's everywhere that there aren't passed out college Liberal Arts doofuses.
I've been here two decades. If I were a highly-paid pro athlete in Indiana I'd be AT LEAST an alcoholic, if not a heavy drug user too. I just don't make enough money on my Navy pension to support those kind of expensive habits.

Stealers-Patriots on TNF right now.
Belichek is known for tailoring his defense to take away his opponent's best offensive player, but he's really going to have his hands full trying that tonight..... the Stealers have no best offensive player to neutralize.
Trubisky? Not good enough to be the starter and has to deal with being behind Pick-It on the depth chart?
Pickens? A primmadonna who throws fits if balls don't land right in his breadbasket, and who can't unscrew his head after messing up and not bothering to keep his feet inbounds?
Johnson? If he's not the target he takes the play off?
That RB whose name I can't remember?
The TE, Frankenmuth?
Seriously? Not a single "best" player on the field.

That would be "Cadaver-ous" Toney. He can be counted up on to pull at least one boneheaded stunt every game. He's not very good.
