New thread for the playoffs.
How many playoff teams throw their final regular season game? Do they ever win in the postseason?
Shameful performance today.

When it comes to setting players in a meaningless game I understand both sides of that argument. Before the broadcast they were talking that if the Bengals were to win today there were a couple scenarios that could occur where the Bengals could have got the #2 seed.
But again, is that still worth the risk of injury to key players when you've already got a playoff spot locked up?

Well, now the Steelers can knock the Bengals out of the playoffs, yet again. Who could have seen it coming? Wonder who they’ll injure to make it happen this time?
As for the game itself? I checked in at halftime and after it was over. LOL

Pittsburgh wins in overtime on a field goal 16-13.

yeah... I tried to watch and made it to the end of the 1st quarter. And that was after waiting an hour so I could fast-forward past the commercials. Even commercial free, Brandon and the Backups were still unwatchable.
Ravens/Steelers game was a good one though.

I didn’t say what round the Steelers would do it in. Either the Bengals will take themselves out by choking again in round 1 or the Steelers will knock them out later on. Either way, the Steelers making it to the postseason just sealed the fate of our
season, yet again.
