NFL Week 16: The Steelers Strike Back!

Admit you have an undisciplined team already.

John Madden once said that you can technically call a penalty during every play;  however, when the...

Oh, never mind.  You're as bad as they are.  Prejudiced beyond recourse.

[Barrister]

Hmm Beeb, neither of my guys are doing much so far, so looking like it will come down to your TE vs my K tomorrow night.

Aye.  I didn't think this would be so close.

You have a 3 point lead and Ryan Longwell left to play.  I have Visanthe Shiancoe.

[CountDeMoney]

the close second is to give Cribbs the money he deserves.

Heh, good luck with that.  It's the Son of Lerner calling the shots.  He's turning into Bill Bidwell, circa 1993.
Expect to see Cribbs in a Pats uniform next season.  And Vince Jackson.  And Owen Daniels. And Elvis Dumervil. And Antoine Bethea.

[Barrister]

Huh - almost same situation in my other fantasy league.  I'm in the final, down by one point, opposition has Adrian Peterson, I have Matt Forte.

Honestly, I prefer my chances in LFFL.

He's still under contract for a few more years, it's more a matter of giving the guy his due.  Harrison is a free agent after this season.  It'll be interesting to see if they keep him after his last 2 games.

Did you see on ESPN this morning that, in addiition to the standing invite by Carolina, Cowher is expected to get back into coaching next year, and was contacted by Tampa Bay for 2010?
He'd fix that franchise.

IN other news, there is no news on the Bills attempts to attract a big name coaching talent to Buffalo. The silence is deafening.

Maybe once they move to Toronto they can get someone?

Down by 9 point with AD left to play.  Dear Hod, I don't ask for much, but could you please see fit to give me this victory?  Thanks.

I'm hoping the latest Browns victory gives Holmgren the faith in Mangini I think he's earned.  With the players he's brought in starting to gel and 11 draft picks this year, it's the chance to mold a solid young core to the team.

Which RB did you end up benching?

Harrison.  He had the best game out of my running backs today, but not dramatically so.  21.80 for him, 17.00 for Barber, and 19.10 for Jones.

I was certainly surprised to see both Saints and Colts lose, breaking their win streaks. Saints got beat by a poor team, while the Colts seem to have lost in the last few minutes in a close game with the NY Jets, from what I could tell with the sports highlights.

[Baron von Schtinkenbutt]

Pats clinch the playoffs!

And get to become one of four teams that will play for the honor of being beaten by the Colts or Bolts.

I have been hearing that rumor.  I didn't like it too much at first as the current Head Coach has made some decent moves and called some decent games on defense recently and shows signs of improvement.  Key problem is they already have to overhaul part of the staff this off season but word is some key assistance are going elsewhere next year for other jobs and if the whole staff except head coach needs to be changed anyways might as well finish the job.  Their special teams coach, one of the best in football as evident by all the block kicks and run backs this year, is likely heading to college to coach with a good friend. 

Cowher would have better success assembling a new staff and while current HC Morris has shown improvement I don't really trust him to assemble a good staff at this point.  I personally don't like the 3-4 but if he doesn't change it or at least not totally then Cowher would be a big boost due to the FAs and coaches he could bring in to go with the young player core of the Bucs.  I like the recent signs of life but it appears a new rebuild of the coaching staff is coming anyways so might as well try to improve the HC at the same time.

As long as he is off TV, then good luck chin. Dude sucks on CBS.
