This is an intel move, most likely. Johnson is disgruntled and will probably spill tea easily.

And for Pitt, what's one more lunatic at WR.

What tea?

He never even learned the offense and was away from the team for most of his time on the roster lol

If I recall correctly no 2 HCs have played against eachother as much as Harbaugh/Tomlin have so there is not much more Intel a player could give to any of them that the other does not already know.

"We know them and they know us" is Ravens v Steelers.

Who ya'll like this week? Bangles or Broncos?
Depends how the Refs decide to call the game.
I feel like they might want the Bengals season to come down to Week 18.

Last week against the Chargers the refs ate a ton of whistles that would have kept Denver ahead or close, I expect the same this week.

Supposed to be windy with some rain so that may factor in.

I hope they call it straight but that isn't how the NFL is when narratives and ratings are in play.

Even if the Broncos beat the Bengals, aren't the Colts still ahead of the Bengals?

Probably but that doesn't matter

NFL wants dolphins/bengals/colts fanbases to still have a chance at the playoffs as late as possible. I expect games to have some ref bias to create that. If it comes down to week 18 I think the NFL would prefer Cincy at the 7 spot over Denver. Colts do have an easy schedule and they win a tiebreaker over Denver somehow even though Denver beat them last week. Not sure of Miami playoff scenario if they end up 9-8

Bengals are eliminated with another loss.

To get in...
Bengals need to win the last 2 games (DEN, @PIT)
and have the Colts lose 1 of their last 2 (@NYG, JAX)
and have the Dolphins lose 1 of their last 2 (@CLE, @NYJ)
and have Denver lose their final game against KC.

Basically - it isn't going to happen. Even if everything goes right and it comes down to KC@DEN, if KC has the home field locked up they'll lay down against Denver.

If this team had even an average defense they'd be 13-2

Joe Burrow leads the league in Passing Yards, (4229), Passing TDs (39) and Completions (384)
If he had a decent defense he'd be the runaway lock for MVP.

Chase leads the league in Receiving Yards (1510), Receiving TDs (16) and Receptions (108)

Two triple crown contenders on the same team and we are doing a Pepe Silvia analysis of how they can still make the playoffs. It's a fucking joke.



I'll say this - IF they get in, and that is a HUGE IF - nobody wants to play this team in the playoffs.

In for some Christmas football, let's hope Netflix doesn't buffer every 10 seconds like during the Paul-Tyson fight.

I must have gotten lucky... the fight only buffered twice for me... and backing out and going back in solved it both times.

KC/Ravens would smash these guys

Every DC would be ecstatic to face the Bengals...

They just need to gameplan to keep them under 40 pts and its a win.

That can't be the case.
The first tiebreaker is head-to-head result.
This must be considering a three way tie. If one team hasn’t beaten all other tied teams the head to head victory of one team over another doesn’t matter in that circumstance.
