duus Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Trying to be rational about this, here we go:@Balt Loss Defense is on-track, and offense will not kill them.SD Loss Can we say stop the run? No.@NO Win Maybe, although they could lose here too. @CV Win It is Cleveland.BT Win We may take one.Ok Win It is Oakland.@IN Loss It is Indy. Our offense cannot win a shootout this year.@DV Loss Our offense will crumble.PT Loss They may have righted their ship by then, and if so are a better team. That brings it to 8-8 with no playoffs, obviously.I am not jumping off the bandwagon here, as I still will root for this team and be incredibly happy if they over-achieve. But, based on this team, this year, I think this is not overly pessimistic. If we are very lucky, or somehow miraculously start playing up to last year's level on offense, then maybe we get 2 more for 10-6. This would be optimistic.This may be the most intelligent post I've seen on this site. Very good job of being unbiased.Honestly, the Bengals are a good team, but you're at least a year and some defensive improvements away from being legitimate Super Bowl contenders.Uh thanks but no thanks for the compliment. My thoughts on the Steelers are 7-9, as follows:DV LNO LCV WBT LTB WCV WCP LBT WCN WOh, but that won't be intelligent. It makes the Urine look bad. Or do they make themselves look bad? Well, you know they are actually a very good team who could/should be 5-2 if not for hurting themselves. But they are a good team that just turns the ball over. Huh? You say good teams don't do that? Huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelwarrior Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 OK, not trying to be a troll here. just want to talk football. First off steelers win 5 games. no not 5 more I think we only win 5 total this year. we are not playing like a team that has any heart, or desire to win. our coaching sucks, our OL play sucks, and we give the ball away like it carries the aids virus. there is no excuses for being 2-5, we just plain stink.Now the Bengals. there is no doubt that you have a good football team, you had a good football team last year, but you are not playing like a good football team. where is the fire in your offense? this is a team that last year really struck fear in the opposing teams defense. (no matter what they say) but not this year. your defense is a couple big time players away from being very very good. but just not there this year. I have a lot of respect for Carson, but he just is not back enough mentally to play well. and lets be honest who would be, there is not a person out there that would not be gun shy after what he went through.overall I think the season will finish out with the steelers going 5 -11, the Bengals will finish up at 9-7, and as much as it pains me to say this the ravens with the weakest schedule will finish at 10-6 and win the division.Ok let the bashing begin..

And I won't. My opinion probably lines up pretty close to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelerFan87 Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Uh thanks but no thanks for the compliment. My thoughts on the Steelers are 7-9, as follows:DV LNO LCV WBT LTB WCV WCP LBT WCN WThat looks very rational as well. Hell, if my life depended on accurately predicting the rest of the Steelers' schedule, that's probably what I would say too. Now, since my life doesn't depend on it, I'll wait untill after the Broncos game. I've just seen the Steelers do the impossible too much to totally write them off, despite how pathetic it is to lose to the Raiders. I think if the Steelers can show me something against the Broncos, I'd be comfortable giving them a chance again. If the Steelers lose next week though, I'd say anything from 5-11 to 8-8 is likely.There you go duus, I made a prediction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierCat Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Right now, the Bengals look like a .500-ish team, destined for somewhere in the 7-9 to 9-7 range, to me. But we'll see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, if I was half as smart as I thought I was, I would be at least twice as smart as half of Pissburgh, and double that when compared to the rest.
