The longer we go without an update on Shazier the more concerned I become. Really hope he's ok.

I just saw the hit, jeez that's rough. The way his legs went limp on the ground and reached for his back, I fear the worst. I hope not.
---

It did not look good, unfortunately.
---

Where's the topic for that hit?

You're not seriously comparing the two right
---

I mean, don't get me wrong. That was a dirty ass hit

But not on the level of Gronk's
---

Nah, it was a bad joke!
---

I mean Burfect can't really complain about dirty hits at this point but

what the fuck was Schuster doing.

He should have been ejected immediately and suspended.
---

The little I've seen is that Shazier has no feeling in his lower body. Someone caught Colbert telling Tomlin it on camera. But that was 2 hours ago too so shortly after it happened.

The fact that he stood over him after it like that only makes it worse. Not sure what he was thinking in the aftermath.

Twitter says there won't be any updates until after the game at the least because the team doctor is still in the stadium

I really hope that isn't the case, or at the very least it's not long-term damage.

Bungles gonna bungle.
---

This is just an ugly game
---

This game needs to end before someone gets killed on the field.
---

I don't know how to stop this.

Like it's good for teams to be fired up for rivalry games, but it seems like every time the Bengals and Steelers play they're trying to fucking kill one another.
---

The box score has completely reversed:
1st quarter - 10-0
2nd quarter - 7-3
3rd quarter - 3-7
4th quarter - 0-10
---

That should be Marvin Lewis fired before tomorrow starts, if Cincinatti has any ambition whatsoever.

They don't. The man is 0-8 in the playoffs and still has a job. They're content with just not being as abysmal as they were before Lewis got there.

also how many narrow wins does Pittsburgh have over bad teams this year

feels like their record is hiding a lot of flaws and they might not be that good
---

Class act by Dalton, there
---

They are going to get massacred when Brady comes to town.

So it's looking like I might actually get into the playoffs. The match-up I'm depending on has the person I need to win up by 20 with Martavis Bryant, with his opponent having AJ Green and Chris Boswell.

I just need Green to not have a monster game.

So much for that.

The live standings on Yahoo somehow have me as 6th despite nothing going my way, but the projected standings have me as 7th, so I'm not sure what's going on.

The tiebreaker is "Best regular season record vs opponent wins", but I'm not exactly clear on what that means. Is that my record against those I'm tied with, or is it based on the record of those you've beaten?
---

Assuming it's the former, there's one team with a winning record against the three others, so they're guaranteed the 5th spot, but the three remaining tied teams, of which I'm one of, have what I can best describe as a rock-paper-scissors record between them, so that doesn't clear things up.

This is typically a playoff tiebreaker, meaning if you tie in the playoff, whoever won more over the other in the regular season moves on
---

Lol, I had it even better, in a meaningless game for both me and my opponent (we did bad thsi year) I was down like 20 some points with green to go. Green gets me to within 1 point in the first half and does nothing the rest of the game ;_;

I have no idea what that tiebreak is. The one I'm in is just points scored.

You're right, it does say playoff tiebreaker. I just assumed that was the one because I didn't see any other tiebreaker on the settings page.

This might be it. The live standings has us in order of points scored for the tied teams. That would give me the 6th and final playoff spot.

I have no idea what format the projected standings are using then. Hopefully it's meaningless.
---

If it's default Yahoo it's total points, yeah
---

Awesome.

You'd think I'd know this considering I've been in 4-5 Yahoo leagues a year over the various sports since around 2011, but I've never had a team so incredibly average in a league filled with average teams.

This is encouraging

Edit: The first reply to that, however, is not.
---

Jesus, that reply.

is that ExTha's Twitter account
---

It's being reported as a spinal contusion
---

That's... good-ish?

It's much better than it could've been, since it's basically just bruising and swelling that causes the non-feeling in extremities/such and not... Actual paralysis. Definitely something recoverable.
---

I went to bed before halftime because I had to be up so early today.

Not surprised the Bengals blew it, but I sense a suspension coming for Juju. Cheap shot on a marked man.

Just 1 game though, the NFL does not want to spoil Pit/NE after all.

I'm really glad for shazier, it could have been so much worse given the scene on the field at that moment. Still, it's gotta be a tough day for the NFL having such a brutal game be on MNF.

AFC North games are almost always brutal, even when Cleveland's involved

I remember a couple of years ago Antonio Brown literally kicking the Browns punter in the face on a return

LOL I do remember that as well! He like flying kicked him.

All you have to do is type in "Antonio Brown" and it's the third option it recommends

But yeah I get the feeling if this kind of stuff keeps up in that division, the NFL is going to start making an example of it to say "See, we're taking this seriously now!" by going after the lowest hanging fruit.
---

Schuster and Iloka each suspended one game

How the hell is this man still employed?

Ah, the glory days. If only Kasay hadn't flubbed that final kickoff...oh what could have been...
