NFL Week 16: The Steelers Strike Back!

[Sophie Scholl]

Jerome Harrison, Marion Barber III, Thomas Jones, and Adrian Peterson.  Which 3 should I start?

I would bench Barber, but I hate him with a passion, he has screwed me all year.  Also the Giants are the best defensive team of the four opponents.

I benched Barber last week after his failure the week before to gain 1 yard in four tries.  Figures it'd bite me in the ass.  He has been a streaky bastard this year.  I figure AD is pretty much a guarantee.  Barber has the Redskins, who were mauled by Bradshaw last week, Jones has Indianapolis who might rest starters, and Harrison has Oakland, whose rushing defense is atrocious.  Factor in Derek Anderson under center, and I don't see much passing going on.  I could be wrong though.  It's mainly a debate between Jones and Harrison I think.  Maybe.  Dammit, I don't know.

I have the same debate as last week between Flacco and P. Manning.  It was a non-issue last week as Manning did play the entire game, and Flacco had a surprisingly good game.

RIght now leaning towards Manning playing, but I keep checking sports sites...

[Grey Fox]

Manning.

I would not bench Jones, he has been playing well and the Colts aren't a good run defense even when they have all of their starters.

Take Manning.

In three losses to the Steelers last season, Flacco was sacked 10 times, threw five interceptions and lost a critical fumble that became a quick seven points for Pittsburgh.

Less than a month ago, the Steelers again pounded Flacco - for five more sacks - though he achieved payback in a 20-17 overtime victory. With 289 passing yards and no turnovers, it was easily the best of his four games against the Ravens' biggest rival.

Like I said, take Manning.  The Ravens are going to run, run, and then after that, run some more.

[Syt]

ESPN actually shows a Steelers game for a change.

[CountDeMoney]

The Steelheads are wearing their French's Mustard helmets today. Shit.

[CountDeMoney]

Typical yellow helmet Steelers bullshit.

[Neil]

Typical yellow helmet Steelers bullshit.

Well, it looks like letting Leonhard go was a mistake.

[Sophie Scholl]

61 yarder by Janikowski to end the half.  I still don't know who to root for.

[Neil]

Well, the Ravens have tied it up, despite the refs' best attempts.

[Ed Anger]

I told you all the bungles would suck today.

[Ed Anger]

FUCKING BENGALS TIGHT ENDS! 

[CountDeMoney]

and the REFS! How can we lose?!?

How prophetic.

[Ed Anger]

If you can, catch the Bucs-Aints. the Bucs are giving them hell.
