Woohooo! Steelers won. Jets lost. So far a good day. To all who ragged on the Steelers’ throw-back jersey: Man, I would love to find a way to contradict you but - they are just butt-ugly uniforms. As I said in another thread, I kept thinking of the SNL Killer Bee sketches from the 70s! ---

Bengals don’t lose! Bengals don’t lose! And thanks for the help in the wildcard race, Cleveland. ---

> [@Southern\_Yankee](#): > > Wow. Can Tony Romo suck any harder? Sure, he still has another half of suckage to look forward to. It almost looks like a ham fisted attempt to throw the game, but Dallas sucks aplenty without trying to lose, so they really do suck that hard. ---

Who was the cowboys QB that had like 3 concussions in two years, was that Romo or the guy before him? ---

Yeah, he’s dead wrong on that. I wonder if he’s thinking about the spot of the ball - whether there’s evidence that he was contacted by the receiver while he was still on the ground. Edit: Nope, that’s what he’s talking about now. Maybe he’s still a little woozy from his playing days. ---

It almost sounded like he’s trying to be ambivalent in spite of what happens. He’s so afraid of sounding biased that he’ll say stupid, untrue things that have the vague appearance of being objective. ---

Woah, I leave when it’s 16-0 and upon return hear them talking about a blowout… The other way? 23-24? Shit… Back to the yard! ---

> [@Southern\_Yankee](#): > > Wow. Can Tony Romo suck any harder? You gotta admit he does a hell of a Jay Cutler impersonation, and just because no one else has pointed it out, the Bears should be ashamed to call that 60 minute drunken stagger a win. ---

> [@Southern\_Yankee](#): > > Wow. Can Tony Romo suck any harder? Yup. What was Dallas doing throwing at 4th and 1 with a minute and a half left? Get the first down with a run you idiots. ---

How do you throw that last pass 5 yards beyond the end of the end zone? I know he was under pressure, but at least get it in the field of play. ---

> [@SenorBeef](#): > > Ha. A decisive drop in Cleveland not by the Browns. I forgot what it’s like to be on the right side of that. What I learned today: The Chargers are pretty bad. Trent Richardson is a legit NFL running back. Just imagine if he’d ever be 100% healthy.
