It appears the Cardinals seem focused on ruining their own day. Carson Palmer is already bleeding from the nose and it isn't halftime yet. And as I type that out he throws a TD pass.

HoosierCat Posted October 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Actually the D was 3 points to the good. In fantasy that is. On the field they were worth a bucket of warm spit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMPHAR Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Ties suck. They had chances to win or lose. Reality is ties are better than a loss in the standings no matter the yuck feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BengalszoneBilly Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Another game goes into OT. Raiders kicker just missed the game winning FG. Seems to be a trend today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincyhokie Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 All this tie did was make things more definitive. Anything less than 6-2 here on out will result in no playoffs. 8-7-1 no way that gets them in. 9-6-1 almost certain that gets them in. At this point, a dud season might actually be the best course of action to shake things up. Get a better draft pick, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only addition is that I judge the chance they go 6-2 or better to be roughly the same as Blutarsky's grade point average. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

membengal Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 I think they need 10-5-1 to make the playoffs. 9-6-1 not good enough. Two wild card teams coming from AFC west, and no way Steelers are going 9-7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me feel suddenly warm about this game. It seems every fan base has a growing segment in which they believe the league is against their team. Even Steelers and Patriots, lol. IMO, it stems from this expectation in sports that every call must be made and made correctly. I always grew playing/watching expecting the officials to be competent enough to make sure the game was executed with a natural error rate of missed/blown calls. Probably part of the reason the ratings are down because the networks by into it and promote that thinking by harping on missed calls. Over officiating destroys flow of the game, adds dead time, and of course pro longs the game. Another part is the rules are not solid and fans don't know what being called anymore. Every network has the former NFL ref expert on call during the broadcast. That should be a red flag. Game Pass shows this perfectly. The condensed version with just action takes an 1 hour to watch yesterdays Bengals v. Skins OT match up. The broadcast was over 4 hours. But whatever if that's what they want to sell so be it, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's tough to stay excited about a team that stubbornly insists on locking itself into a losing strategy. Year after year they do the same thing and expect different results. They win just enough games to get to the postseason, at which point they promptly collapse, because while they are talented enough to get there, they aren't talented enough to win there. Next comes free agency, where year after year they bleed talent while signing some old, washed-up dudes. Then in the draft they pick guys who are already injured or who promptly get injured. And finally they come up with a new t-shirt slogan in camp that is forgotten as soon as the season starts (remember "pound the rock?" Dalton is 9th in passing attempts and 4th in yards so far this year). This year they might foul up the "get to the postseason" part but other than that I don't expect the cycle to change. I think I stick with this team more out of inertia than anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate what the NFL is becoming. I'm with you. In my opinion the NFL has some competition issues that are turning viewers off. Did anyone look forward to Sunday's big Patriots-Bills showdown? I wouldn't have watched if you paid me. And that game happens twice a year. Tom Brady is 26-3 versus the Bills. The parity the league has tried to instill has worked in some ways, and it has failed in others. I'm just not interested in a league in which so many things seem preordained. Teams like the Steelers and the Patriots seem to get every break from the league, then on top of it they blatantly cheat, and said cheating, instead of resulting in meaningful penalties, is somehow exalted and celebrated as showing how "competitive" the team is. The Patriots filmed opposing teams' walkthroughs, they stole signs during games, they deflated the balls, etc. And that's just some of the things we know about. Sure they get fines and suspensions. Which have approximately zero deterrent effect. Then the NFL media and game commentators just slobber all over that organization for doing things the "Patriot" way. The Steelers? Steroids in the 70s that absolutely wrecked the lives of some of their players. It's beyond pathetic what some of those guys went through. Kicking punters in the face and breaking their jaws? Crown shots to the head and injuring guys like Rivers? Knockout hits like we saw last year on Gio? All evidence of good ol' fashioned Steeler football! Meanwhile your team, assuming you are a fan of one of the 28 or so "unchosen," gets attacked if they get too uppity, if they play too rough. Also, please don't complain if the Steelers, or the Patriots, or the Seahawks, etc., injure a player on your team, or if your team gets jobbed out of a game by the referees against one of these teams. Don't you know that's just part of the game? Bad calls happen all the time! Sorry, Raiders, the tuck rule game stole a playoff game from your team, and the Patriots went on to win the Super Bowl. Super Bowl XL win by the Steelers? Try watching that game and not laughing at the defensive holding by the Steelers, the blatant blown calls that helped hand that game to Pittsburgh. I'm just tired of it. The whole narrative of there are these certain organizations that have figured it out, and everyone else can take it, has really grown stale for me. I really have no interest in watching games involving any of these legacy type organizations. There is something illegitimate about them. I watch the Bengals games and thoroughly enjoy them. Other games I will watch - almost none. If there are two upstart teams, by that I mean two of the unchosen that happen to have that lightning in a bottle year, and they are playing each other, I'll enthusiastically watch those games. Say when Carolina suddenly got good, let's say they were playing Tampa Bay, assuming Tampa suddenly had a good year. I'll watch a game like that. There does not seem to be any league favoritism in a game like that. The players are playing hard and it's fair. Turn on the tube on Sunday afternoon and watch the Steelers o-line give a clinic on holding while the d-line from some hapless team cries to an uncaring squad of officials? Fuck that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
membengal Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 You know what would have helped Sunday? Probably a lot? Home field advantage. Crowd noise etc when we were on defense, trying to stop 3rd down conversions. Etc. Nothing like playing a season with only 7 homes games. So wrong.
