Yep. Down 17 in the 4th quarter facing the vaunted defense of Seattle, who, btw, won the previous Super Bowl. That's certainly a "shoulda lost" one.Originally Posted by traderumor

Not trying to convince you either way, but there's no question this us a huge game for seeding.
How do we know he's not Mel Torme?
The Raiders held this team to 12 points just two weeks ago - I feel like the Bengals are going to need a similar effort here.

I agree. I predict a 16-9 loss. I just don't see how they'll be able to move the ball much. AJ will have to throw a decent amount to win because they're running game is pretty weak. My biggest gripe about last week was how the Bengals had 8-9 in the box and tried to run. So predictable. I think if they spread it out more they'd at least have a chance for a 5-yard run.
I really hope they find a way to win. So few times in my lifetime have they won a game like this. If the defense plays lights out and the team is +2 in turnovers they could ruin my prediction.

We will remember this Christmas as the Christmas before AJ McCarron lead our Bengals to a March toward the Super Bowl!!!!!

The Ravens and Jets are getting my hopes up today. I'm sure they'll be dashed.
Oh that offsides penalty!
When all is said and done more is said than done.
Barring something crazy here, it appears we just won the AFC North.

Once again, the Steelers are a decent, but mediocre football team.

We just moved into best case scenario territory.

And the Jets just won. I know a lot of people will be happy if Pittsburgh is out, but the Jets are a dangerous playoff matchup for anyone.
Steelers and Patriots both lose. That's a good start to the week.

I called the Jets beating the Patriots in this thread, I believe. Would not surprise me at all if that was somewhat on purpose. Kicking off in OT after the Steelers loss was official ...

Yeah it was like the Pats knew it was a chance to keep the Steelers out. That was weird.
