Official Laveon Bell is out for game against Ravens. With him I was feeling pretty solid for the Steelers, but without him could be trouble if the "good" Ravens decide to show up this week. In other News -- AJ Green has a concussion and looks like he will be out against Colts. Looks to me like another 1 and done for Marvin Lewis.
IF the bengals go out like they did last year i don't see how they don't start looking for a new coach and QB.
I agree that Marvin Lewis should go if he cant get a playoff win, but 4 straight postseasons appearances does speak for something. Perhaps they finally break through this year.....I think they will defeat that injured and weak Indy team. My picks: Carolina Ravens Bengals Dallas But who really knows.....
I would like to see Bengals win, I just don't think it is going to happen. I agree with the other 3 games, though I am not quite sure what to think about the Pitt/Balt game - definitely the hardest to predict IMO with Bell out. I don't think any result will surprise me in that one, Ravens could blow them out, get blown out or it could be close.
Balts had a good road record under Flacco/Harbaugh. I thought Pitt would win that division but I think Baltimore will have better success in the playoffs. I do expect a higher scoring game: Ravens 34 Steelers 28
This barely feels like a playoff game. The Cardinals have such a mediocre lineup on offense. Even their punter blows. Panthers not much better, but should win at home
Tough watching this game.....few ex jets out there. If u look at the personnel for both teams they have done a good job in the draft and FA, especially with depth players. I remember bitching about the jets passing on RT massie and there he is on the cards OL. 3rd round pick I think.
This game is as bad as expected. Shanked punts, fumbled punt returns, missed FGs, wild overthrows, sloppy field, etc. These teams are not really any better than we were this season, they just came out on the right end of a few more close games.
Jets fans had to enjoy seeing Cromartie tackle Cotchery. Both still quality players on playoff teams, while the Jets are 4-12 and a mess.
I have never seen a worse played game from a special teams perspective. Ever. The Seahawks have to be laughing watching this
