I couldn't have written anything better myself.
Too bad it wasn't anything like this pillow fight.
Hey, bab..ies...
Anyways, I think this about says it all...
Yep, a combined 7-22-1. Yikes! I'd definitely file that under "Sorry State of Affairs."
To be fair, though, the number of losses might actually be outweighed by the number of players the two teams have collectively placed on IR this season.
That said, nothing satisfies me more than watching Cleveland struggle so mightily, Giants game notwithstanding, after they were the AFC North media darlings last offseason and the flavor of the year to win the division. Obviously the media is unaware that it was the Browns. Three things in this life are certain - death, taxes, and the Cleveland Browns sucking.
Also, to all the Browns fans who cried about Derek Anderson only making the Pro Bowl as an alternate last year - what say you now?
At this point, we can only hope that Brady Quinn's finger (or was it thumb?) heals in the offseason. Because I can't wait to watch the Steelers pass rush engulf him like Romeo Crennel engulfs a cheeseburger...
But hey, either way, at least Browns fans are still classy as ever...

Douchemanzadeh to the Ravens? That'd be effing interesting, man.
Imagine the strong armed Flacco with Derrick Mason and TJ Houshmanzadeh? Putting aside the fact that collectively they're approximately 1500 years old, those are two receivers you can count on to catch just about anything. At least that's how I see it. And with a guy who can throw the ball down the field? That would certainly make the Ravens just a tad more dangerous...
Of course, this means nothing, really. So who cares?
On a completely unrelated note, I'm interested to know how Matt Light punches Channing Crowder without a helmet on and gets fined $15,000, only $5,000 more than LaMarr Woodley, who made a clean hit on Jason Campbell, and then Jim Haslett gets fined $20,000 for swearing at officials? Obviously something's broken in the league office.
But hey, just imagine how much money the NFL would make if EVERYONE who swore at officials got fined $20,000.

And lastly...
I've got a better question - do you really need to ask?
Well, alrighty then. We took care of that one, now, didn't we? I mean, I would've thought the score would be like 48-0, but I'll take 27-10. I gotta give it to 'em. The Bengals were really trying to win that game for a while. And in all honesty there were a couple of points where I started to get a really bad feeling like we were going to let a 1-8-1 team, missing one of its top receivers, among others, back into that game. But we didn't, really. And we got the win. So all is well in Steeler Nation today.
Or is it?
What happened to Willie Parker? A "tweaked knee?" That. Ain't. Good. And what about Brett Keisel? A sprained knee? I mean, that ain't legal good either. Ugh. Oh yeah, and Santonio has a concussion. That must be fun for him. But he did get ROCKED. So I guess we should be glad he's not hurt worse.
That all aside, we can at least enjoy this win a little bit. Ben's statline wasn't quite as robust as last week in certain areas (though it was great overall), but he did improve in one key area - TDs, running one in from eight yards out, and throwing one in to HEATH!!!, who surprisingly was an integral part of the overall game plan for once.
And while I thought we could have won this one by a few more, I can't really complain about the overall performance, considering we only had like three days off to prepare. So without any further bullshitting, let's run through the "Things That Were Awesome," "Things That Were Not Awesome," and "Things That Made Me Want To Punch Cris Collinsworth In The Face" (which, to be fair, I would have wanted to do even if nothing bad happened, but I'm gonna go with it anyway).
Things That Were Awesome
1. Willie Gay looked pretty damn good last night. Hooray for Gay!
2. Mewelde Moore - 15 carries, 56 yds, 4 catches, 44 yds and a key part of winding that game down in the 4th quarter. Bravo, Memo.
3. A couple of successful screen passes? Surely Bruce Arians could not have called this game?
4. Aaron Smith - THREE passes defended! That's what I'm talkin' about!
5. Upside Down Dogs...I'm literally laughing out loud right now.
6. The soundtrack for this post.
7. Troy Polamalu is a monster! Ridiculous game and another pick.
8. ZERO offensive turnovers. Two weeks in a row, yay! We're making progress.
9. Aw, Gary Russel's first TD. Our boy is growing up so fast.
10. James Farrior - EIGHT solo tackles, to lead the team. Dude is Thirty. Three.
Things That Were Not Awesome
1. Nate Washington pass interference. I mean, it kind of looked like the DB ran into him, but damn that sucked.
2. ONE sack? Against a line that had two rookies starting on the left side?
3. Cris Collinsworth. And just because. No real reason necessary.
4. Letting Ryan Fitzpatrick drive the Bengals 58 yards in less than a minute on the Bengals last drive (at least Troy ended that one).
5. Letting the Bengals score at all. How was that game not even more lopsided?
Things That Made Me Want to Punch Cris Collinsworth in the Face
1. Keisel's injury.
2. Limas "Hands Team" Sweed getting knocked into the football on that kickoff. This isn't basketball, man. They're allowed to hit you.
3. Earth to Bruce Arians, that reverse call? Yeah, knock it off. That shit is worthless.
4. Illegal block out of bounds on a punt? Who? Why?
5. Paul Ernster (Pornster) - You sir, are fired. Make it happen, Tomlin.
Oh, and one more big fat sack of shit thing -- The internet feeds of the game on channelsurfing.net and justin.tv. You all, can suck a dick. If you're going to broadcast something like a football game, and a Steelers game at that, you better make sure your feed is immune from everything! I actually might have murdered "justdonate" if that dude's feed had screwed up one more time. Do not incur the wrath! But, you know, thanks for broadcasting...so I could actually see the game...which reminds me...
I guess we've really got the NFL to thank for that one. Listen up, dick mongers. Screw you and your bullshit channel. As if you don't make enough money off of merchandising, licensing, and fining the Steelers, you've gotta make your network only available on certain cable/satellite providers and require people to pay extra for it? Give me a break. You and your channel can go get effed. Seriously.
Anyways, with that win, we move to 8-3 on the season, a full two games ahead of those Ratbirds from STDmore. At least until Sunday when they face the Illadelphia Donovan McNabb Circus Show. Let's hope the Eagles are so thoroughly embarrased by the fact that they tied with, and almost lost to, the Bengals that they come out and destroy the Ravens. Just absolutely dismantle them. That, friends, would make me very happy. So Andy Reid, if you're listening, cut that 'stache, first of all, you dick. Makes you look like Holmgren's fanboy. That or the Wizard of Oz. Second of all, quit jaggin' around with the ball and put it in the end zone. Ride the Don-o-van to victory. Your in state brethren need you. Do your civic duty.
So guys, what do we think? Thumbs up? Thumbs down? What were your Awesome, Not Awesome and Collinsworth face-punching worthy moments?
Man, nothing like a little pregame with Property law to set the mood, right?
God, I've been waiting all day for this! I hope we murder the Bangles!
Let's. Do. This...
Lock your doors and hide your valuables, Pittsburgh, for the Cincinnati Bengals cometh. Yes, I'm sure this is the matchup you've been anticipating for weeks. You know, since the last time we played them, like a month ago.
What has changed for the dudes in orange and black stripes? Not a whole lot. They won a game against Jacksonville and kind of almost won a game against Philadelphia. But we're still talking about Ryan Fitzpatrick, Cedric Benson, TJ Douchemanzadeh and Queen Chad Johnson (UPDATE: Wrong. Chad Johnson will not be playing. He's been deactivated). 
Only this time around, they're also missing the whole left side of their offensive line. The last time we played these jokers, we sacked that Ryan Fitzpatrick seven times. And that was when Levi Jones and Andrew Whitworth were both still healthy. So I can't even imagine what Silverback and The Wood will do to Fitzpatrick tonight.
Not only that, but the Bangles just went toe to toe with the Eagles Defense on Sunday. And say what you will about the tenets of national socialism Eagles, their Defense is pretty good...and physical. So, the smart money says they're probably a little banged up even beyond the two aforementioned lineman (not that we're not, but you know what I mean).
Either way, the Associated Press has astutely extrapolated the following headline from a Max Starks quote - "07 Loss to Jets Makes Steelers Wary of Bengals." Did I make the immediate connection? Nope. Frankly, I'm not even sure the AP did. But as it turns out, when we met the Jets last season, it was November 18 (today's the 20th), our record was 7-2 (we are, of course, currently 7-3) and their record was 1-8 (Cincy's is 1-8-1). Plus, their QB was backup Kellen Clemens, although HE had replaced Chad Pennington due to the fact that Pennington was playing worse than Trent Green the Concussed, while Fitzpatrick is starting for Carson Palmer the Great due to injury.
I just hope they don't try and pull a flea flicker like the Jets did last year. That shit was terrible. Embarrassing. And I had to sit there, surrounded by Jets fans screaming in my face about how bad they were and the fact that they had just successfully torched us with a 56 yard flea flicker on the 2nd play of the game. No joke, part of their dig was that their team was so far in the crapper, and yet they were still making us look like the St. Louis Rams. Of course, the worst part was - at that point, I had nothing to say. They were so right.
Anyways, do I see this Cincy game going that way? Nah, not really. I would hope we learned from that experience. Plus, this year we haven't been as blessed with health and success concurrently. Last season, if I remember correctly, we were completely healthy when we met the Jets. And not only that, we were enjoying a generous and perhaps a bit fraudulent record - having only beaten the Browns (twice), Bills, 49ers, Seahawks, Bengals and Ravens. This year, we've had a tougher road to sled what with our schedule and all the injuries. I think with the ups and downs we've had this season, hopefully it's helped us realize not to take anything for granted.
But all that aside, we haven't scored a touchdown in almost two full games (just under 7 quarters). Now might be the time to change that. You know how in basketball sometimes you just start laying brick after brick and if you move in closer and take a couple of easy shots, you get your touch back? Well maybe this is the football equivalent. Go in there, keep the Offensive momentum, but this time get six instead of three. God, I hope they score like 56 points tonight.
Now, your turn. The Bangles - What say you?
Well, despite the fact that Donovan McNabb and "several other Eagles veterans" didn't know an NFL game could end in a tie, that's just how their game against our next kill, Cincy, ended. And yes, as I mentioned earlier, the game could've gone Cincy's way. Granted, a 47 yard field goal isn't exactly a chip shot. But still, in the waning seconds to have that chance, and blow it, has to hurt. Then again, when you're already 1-8, what's another loss or in fact, a tie?
I'm not sure we can get anything helpful from this game. I didn't see it, but it certainly didn't sound like the Bengals got dominated. But, I mean, they did only manage to score 13 points despite intercepting Donovan McNabb THREE times. Does this mean Cincy's a formidable foe? Probably not. Does this mean we have to be weary of Ryan Fitzpatrick? Probably not (though he did pass for a respectable 261 yards, including one TD). Does mean that they'll be beat up for the game we've got against them in three days? Doubtful (again, I did not see the Eagles game so I can't say this definitively). So then, what? Just something else to laugh about, I guess.
I kind of have to give it to 'em, though. They were 1-8, which meant there was absolutely nothing to play for in this one except dignity. And yet, they still played one of those NFC East "powerhouses" hard for 60 minutes of regulation and 15 of OT. That's more than I can say for the Rams.
Well neither Cincy nor Philly were winners yesterday, but these links sure are today...

EDITOR'S NOTE: Tobiathan's "Dear Diary" appears every Monday following Steelers games. Except when it appears on Tuesday, following a Monday night game. These are Tobiathan's deepest and most intimate thoughts. And he's kind enough to share them with all of us. So continue to show him love in the comments!Dear Diary,
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that picture has very little to do with what happened in Cincinnati yesterday. It is, however, fun for me to look at. And frankly, that's enough.Well friends, thankfully I think this is the first time since Week 1 that I don't have to write - "it wasn't pretty, but a win is a win." Whereas our last three wins were achieved by an average margin of 4 points, yesterday we enjoyed a slightly more favorable differential of 28 points! Yeah, we destroyed them. I particularly liked the part where MEWELDE MOORE had THREE TOUCHDOWNS. Let me repeat that. MEWELDE MOORE had THREE TOUCHDOWNS. How many of you thought I'd be writing THAT this morning?
Cincinnati. What can I say about the Bungles that hasn't already been said about Afghanistan? They look bombed out and depleted.
Ok, no seriously. Here's the state of the Bengals - They're 0-6 - despite a few close ones, sans Carson Palmer - sub Ryan Fitzpatrick who may be more suited to attack the MCATs than the Pittsburgh defense; they feature a one-two backfield punch of Chris Perry (averaging a staggering 42 rush yards per game) and Cedric Benson (recently signed off waivers), and an imposing Defense that includes such notable talents as Domata Peko, Rashad Jeanty and Dexter Jackson. So clearly the Steelers will face their toughest test of 2008.
Alright, no, let's get serious. There is no such thing as a sure thing. Especially in the NFL this year. I needn't remind you of last weekend's results as evidence. So while the Bengals, on their face, don't seem to be quite the formidable foe they've been in the past they were in 2005, they've still got some playmakers that we'd be apt to worry about. Mainly - TJ Douchemanzadeh, Chad Johns-circus-show, Chris Henry - The Perpetually-Incarcerated Wonder, Jonathan Joseph (ish), Leon Hall (ish), and Keith Rivers (as much ish as you can give to a 1st round rookie).
And let's not forget that now Willie Parker is out for Sunday, Marvel Smith is more than likely out (sub the 7 million dollar bench warmer man, Max Starks), and Casey Hampton may likely sit this one as well. So we're not exactly in tip-top shape either. We're a handful of sacks away from losing to an 0-6 team vying to replace last year's Dolphins as the league's most worthless franchise. We can NOT let that happen.
The good news is, the Defense is relatively healthy. We're getting Keisel back, although we can't be sure he's 100%. Nick Eason, Travis Kirschke and Chris Hoke been filling in rather well. The linebackers are playing like the ravenous, sack-happy beasts we know they truly are, and Troy looks like a man on fire, and has actually been somewhat vocal to boot. All that notwithstanding, I'm slightly worried about our Corners. Notice I said SLIGHTLY. We know they can play, but the only real weapons Cincy has are really the three aforementioned Wide Receivers. Good news again is that Deshea Townsend should be well rested. So the trio of Face Me Ike, Bryant "Look at my sick goatee" McFadden and Deshea "I ain't done yet" Townsend should be alright. That said, it's something to watch.
In addition, I'll also be watching - Jeff Reed. I know that sounds weird, and NO I don't mean watching him while he photographs his manliness in the hotel bathroom. I mean that left calf he injured in our game against Jacksonville Jagoffville two weeks ago. Tec and I have been very vocal about our expectations for Party Boy Reed, but this injury may be more than any of us are thinking. And there's only one way to find that out. Either way, hopefully he spent the bye week rehabbing and taking it easy rather than refereeing pudding wrestling with Sandy Sanderson at Buckhead's. But I have my doubts about that.
Then there's Nate Washington. And, I mean that in a good way (for the first time). Last game he shined, nabbing six catches for 94 yards and a score. If he can be that reliable on Sunday, and Hines can have the kind of game HE had two weeks ago (7 catches, 90 yards, 1 TD), not to mention hopefully a healthy Santonio, we should have some great success throwing the ball in the absence of Master Fly W Large (Willie Parker for those of you who aren't familiar with the OFTOT preferred nomenclature).
Plus, with Dallas Baker out this week, we just might get our first real taste of what Limas Speed Sweed can do. Arians wants to throw that patented corner of the end zone fade? Who better to chuck it to than a 6'4" 220 lb monster who'll likely be covered by either Simeon Castille (6'0", 195, undrafted free agent) or David Jones (6'0", 196, 2nd year Corner out of Wingate). I would love nothing more than to see Limas Sweed pillage the Bengals secondary. Of course, it's not likely...and frankly, I'd love nothing more than to see ANY of our receivers pillage the Bengals secondary. But I gotta have something to write about. You understand.
So that's my two, three, four (?) cents for whatever they're worth (don't even make the smartass joke). And in case you were wondering, Steely McGnome has predicted Steelers - 34, Bengals - 24.
What do you guys think? Anyone you'll be looking at on Sunday? Any concerns you have? Anybody got any gum?
Let's have it.
Oh, I'll also be watching the benGALs. But not in 'nam while the game is going on, of course...
I'm not going to talk about what happened with the Browns last night. I think Derek Anderson's 310 yards, Jamal Lewis' 88 yards and Braylon Edwards' 154 receiving yards say just about all that needs to be said.
But it goes back to something I mentioned yesterday - teams with nothing to lose will always scare me. Teams IN OUR DIVISION with nothing to lose, particularly scare me.
You know what's weird? I've told a few different people over the last 24 hours that I'm not taking the Bengals lightly, and they've almost all laughed at me, scoffing, "come on, it's the Bengals!" You know who these people are? They're Eagles fans. Seriously, I had at least two separate Eagles fans tell me that the Steelers might as well count on a win, Sunday.
What? I mean, seriously, what? Did they not watch the Cowboys and Redskins games this past weekend? Maybe they'll change their tune this morning after what the Browns did to the final 25% of that supposed "powerhouse" division last night. This should be a lesson to you Eagles fans, should it not? Don't take any team for granted? Any given Sunday? That's what she said?
Ok, so maybe I'm going a little overboard on purpose.
The truth is - Carson Palmer's out. The Bungles can't play Defense to save their lives. Marvin Lewis and Chris Henry are on their feline-esque ninth lives with the franchise. Chris Perry...is he even playing anymore? They're in bad shape. Yeah, they've had some close ones with some good teams. But those all came when Palmer was starting. The Ryan Fitzpatrick legacy? An 0-2 record, 154 passing yards per game average, 3 interceptions, a passer rating of 56 and a partridge in a pear tree. CHAMPIONSHIP!
So allow me to rip on the Bangles for a minute, just to get it out of my system. I'm going with Nine different potential digs, here. Nine for Carson Palmer.
No guac, let's rock...
Number One - Good call on cutting Rudi Johnson, idiots. How's that working out for you? He may not be a pro bowler anymore. But I'll bet he'd average more than 42 yards a game.
Number Two - Remember the time you traded Corey Dillon for a 2nd round draft pick (Madieu Williams) and he blew up with New England for a 1,600 yard, 12 TD season, the best of his career, at the age of 30? That was pretty ingenious as well. Hey Mike Brown, when you're done ruining the Bungholes franchise, you think you can take a crack at solving our current financial crisis? Sweet, thanks.
Number Three - Cris Collinsworth. I take some solace in the fact that you have to live with this abomination on your conscience, for-EV-ER.
Number Four - What was so bad about the Icky Shuffle? I thought that shit was pretty cool. What's that all about?
Number Five - You know what? You're right. Dick LeBeau's to blame for 2000-2002. Too bad you had to let him go, freeing him up to eventually rejoin your divisional rival, our Steelers, where he resumed his role as Godfather of the Pittsburgh blitz (179 sacks recorded from '04-Present). Man, what an awful Coach. He makes Marvin Lewis look like Vince Lombardi!
Number Six - The people demand an apology for ruining Kijana Carter's career.
Number Seven - What is with Ohio and Orange in uniforms? Aren't they aware that it makes you look like a pumpkin? Seriously, go look at something Orange and tell me you don't see either a pumpkin or a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup in it. I dare you. And I'm not talking about chicks-tanning-Orange. I'm talking Radioactive Yellow and Radioactive Red make blindingly Orange, Orange.
Number Eight - Tell the BenGALs to call me. Hey, baby...
Number Nine - That Chili. Come on, man. Cinnamon? Really? Cinnamon? You're a disgrace. Just watch how many times I rip on Cincinnati Chili during this week's [Unnamed] Steelers Show. I'll bet it'll be more times than I curse. And that's a LOT.
Ugh, all this hating is tiring me out. I'm gonna go steal a cat-nap real quick. Talk amongst yourselves. Here, I'll give you a topic - Longest. Post. Ever.
Discuss.
Well, photograph me naked in a bathroom with a cell phone and call me Jeff Reed!
What a weekend for the NFL, right?
Ravens? Dominated.
Bengals? Ryan Fitzpatrick'd.
Broncos? Guess Maurice Jones-Drew doesn't suck anymore.
Bears? Matt Ryan = 300 yards.
Skins? Beat at home by Jim Haslet.
Cowboys? Got approximately 1500 calls their way and still lost to Cards.
Panthers? 3 points? Jesus. Christ.
To borrow a line from a wise man, the reality of it is -- this league is wide open. You wanted parity, America? You got it. And I was right there with you. What a breath of fresh air after watching the Patriots and Cowboys roll through their respective conferences last season. Finally, the league looks like it should - any man's game.
As far as the division goes? The Bengals are now 0-6. The Ravens are 2-4. The Browns are 1-4, playing the Giants tonight. And we should be getting Willie Parker, Carey Davis, Casey Hampton, and Brett Keisel back just in time to face the aforementioned winless Cincy on Sunday. Trap game? Maybe. But all we can do is prepare as if it were a playoff game, and be ready for anything and everything the Bengals might throw at us.
For what it's worth, I'm not taking the desperate Bungles lightly. Supposedly Carson Palmer's going to be back, and I may be wrong, but it looked to me like the trio of TJ Douchemanzadeh, Chad [insert last name of the day here], and He The Law Hate Me (Chris Henry) were all finally starting to produce at the same time. If the guy throwing the ball around yesterday isn't Ryan Fitzpatrick, it's entirely possible they win that game. The Jets should consider themselves lucky they didn't get humbled by the Bengals!
That said, I don't care if Carson Palmer DOES come back. I'll enjoy dominating HIM just as much as I'd enjoy routinely destroying Ryan Fitzpatrick. Of course, there's always the possibility that the first play will be a 50 yard bomb to Chris Henry. But speculating like that isn't necessary at this point. And you know me, I like to keep things positive. At least when we're NOT talking about Tony Homo Romo.
Anyways, while we all had a good rest last week, I'm still going to ease things in here, this week. So I ask you - Preliminary thoughts on the Cincy game? Thoughts on this past weekend's games? And most importantly, who'll be monitoring the police scanner to see if Chris Henry makes it to Sunday's game a free man?
Oh wait, I almost forgot. Did anyone else see Tecmo's favorite band, The Jonas Brothers at the Arizona game? Tecmo was sweating so hard when he heard they'd be there. Yeah.
/Monday sucks
Hey, guess what? It's Bengals day here at OFTOT!
We'll begin with the headline above. What the hell this is all about is beyond me. Chad Johns-ocho-whateverthehellhisnameistoday is obviously more interested in being part of a circus show than being the heralded wide receiver he once was. And frankly, to some extent I don't blame him. Clearly that organization has no interest in winning. So why should he give a shit? Today, kissing Marvin Lewis. Tomorrow, kissing TJ Houshmanzadeh [goodbye]? God only knows...
Then, there's this douchebaggery here...
First of all, I don't have the faintest idea who Darryl Blackstock is. But nevermind that, it's not important. I haven't heard of 95% of the current Bengals Defense. All I wanna say about this is - does anyone really care? I mean, this dude is taking performance enhancing drugs and they still suck!
And finally, there's this nonsense...
Yeah, that's nice. Shouldn't he be? I mean, only assholes like Bobby Petrino quit in the middle of a season. Am I wrong? I'm pretty sure that's exactly what he should be - committed. Although, I'd advocate in an insane asylum before to the Bengals. But that's just me.

Yeah, flashback to sucking the old days, indeed.
Apparently the Bangles were jealous of the Ravens 5-11 record last season. Because they've clearly made the conscious decision to suck as much as possible this year. And thus far, they've succeeded with flying colors. I guess it's a good thing they have such a rich tradition of sucking to draw from. Wherefore art thou, Ki-Jana Carter?
