********...

 

[Big Ben Rules]

Booooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!

 

[TazManianDevil]

Division Championship moved to SNF

Steelers/Bengals game will be a Sunday Night on NBC.

Fox wouldn't give up Detroit/Green Bay game so Steelers/Bengals are the next choice.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Beat me to it.

 

[TAS]

Now I have to wait all ******* day for the game. **** you nbc

 

[SteelBuckeye]

On the one hand, I hate waiting. On the other hand, with a few notable exceptions, prime time games seem to bring out the best in this team.

 

[Wingman]

There was no way I could have seen it with out this I am glad, I can skip the cryboys and foreskins, and the texana and titans? or who ever they are playing that does not matter.

 

[Super Dave]

It takes me 2 days to recover from a prime time game.........and I don't even drink.

 

[Big Ben Rules]

And you can bet they will have to play Saturday Night as well

maybe you should start it might help.

 

[madinsomniac]

Screw that... NFL had better games for that slot... I hope we blow them out by halftime... though this probably means the refs will keep it close

 

[steelbush]

I always wondered how this ****** with peoples plans....what if someone had already purchased game tickets and airline tickets and planned on going to the game at noon and flying outta Pittsburgh that night? I would be pissed.

 

[steelbush]

I think Prime-time is too our advantage. The Steelers usually always play well in prime-time, additionally, the Bengals dont.

cause you are old....but then I'm the same way.....

 

[Steelerfreak]

Dammit. I dont get it. Thought it wouldve been Detroit GB. I guess the bright side of this is that we will most likely play the Sunday game in Wild Card week. Right Rog?
This also has the potential to be a preview of the same game the next week.

 

[TAS]

I quit going to games partially for this reason.

This absolutely sucks. We've had enough night games this year, let me have my 1:00 pm games.

Saw tons of people taking their luggage to their cars this morning because they were heading home right after the game.

 

[Steel Not A Player]

I live in CA, and I don't have the Ticket, so I goddam love it.

Sorry fellas...

 

[Super Dave]

cause you are old....but then I'm the same way.....

That and the stress....If a night game is horribly officiated it takes me more than a few days to recover. I am glad this KC game was not at night.......

Agree, we don't loose a lot in night games.

Since there is no Monday night game in week 17, this is the last game of the year. That means it could already be decided that Steelers and Bengals will play again the next week in the playoffs and the only thing at stake is who will be the home team.

If that is the case, how hard do both teams play? What if Ben's leg is swollen tomorrow and he's limping all week. Do you play him?

 

[thesteelcity]

well, I get to do some visiting and not have to think if I'd get to see it and where I'd be. Trying to find a silver lining. Heinz Field will be rockin' under the lights.

If the Bengals lose to Denver & PIT they're out of the playoffs.

Works out well for me, means I can get more than 4 hours sleep after my night shift on Saturday night
