The Steelers beat the Bengals on Monday Night Football in what Ben Roethlisberger called, “AFC North Football.” Four starters left the game with injuries (thoughts and prayers with Ryan Shazier), the Bengals blew a 17-0 lead, and once again the talk is all about the violence of this game.

On the latest Bacon Sports Podcast Rob Cressy dishes about why he has no problem with JuJu Smith-Schuster’s hit on Vontaze Burfict, why the Bengals are who we thought they were, Marvin Lewis future (or a lack there of) in Cincinnati, the awful announcing by Sean McDonough, plus the Steelers outlook moving forward.

Andrew McCutchen and his wife just welcome their first son into this world, Steel Stefan McCutchen. This is one of the most Pittsburgh names ever. In a Yahoo Sports article, they came up with a list of other Pittsburgh names that Cutch could have named his son and I was not impressed. It felt like it was written by someone who is not from Pittsburgh.

Because of that Rob Cressy dedicated this Bacon Bits podcast for Fri, Dec 1, 2017 to breaking down what I don’t like about Yahoo Sports names, and then creates his own yinzer baby names. At the end he also goes off on why he hates how the Pirates continue to bring up Andrew McCutchen’s name in trade talks, and why the organization doesn’t do what it takes to win a championship.

On the latest Yinzcast, a Pittsburgh Sports podcast, Rob Cressy lays down his thoughts about the Steelers moving forward following their victory over the Packers in Week 12 on Sunday Night Football. Sure the Steelers have been inconsistent, turned the ball over, and committed stupid penalties, but they are in a much better situation than the majority of the teams in the NFL. The Patriots are the gold standard and the Steelers have the pieces to beat them, assuming they play a perfect game.

Rob also dishes about Antonio Brown’s greatness, how he stacks up versus Jerry Rice, and if he could go down as the greatest Steelers player ever. He also talks about how Le’Veon Bell is the absolute best running back in the NFL.

NFL Week 7 games

* Chiefs -3 @ Raiders (TNF)

* I’m going to buy the Chiefs when people are selling.

* Don’t buy into the Raiders.

* Falcons @ Patriots -3

* I don’t believe in the Falcons still.

* Patriots seem more beatable than we’ve ever seen.

* Bengals @ Steelers -5

* Bengals opportunity to salvage their season right here.

* Take care of business, feed Le’Veon Bell.

* Buccaneers @ Bills -3

* Measuring stick game for both teams, Bills coming off a bye. Let’s go Buffalo.

* Broncos @ Chargers -1

* A win here and the Chargers are 3-4

* Broncos offense hasn’t scored more than 16 points in any of the last 3 games.

* Cardinals @ Rams -3

* The Cardinals are 3-3 and in a winnable division. I don’t believe in them but still. Maybe AP is the truth.

* I’m rooting for the Rams to keep winning.

* Ravens @ Vikings -5.5

* The Ravens can beat anyone and lose to anyone

* Looking forward to the Teddy Bridgewater narrative.

* Saints -6 @ Packers

* Trap game for the Saints because we can never trust them.

* Fantasy owners everyone are crying over the Packers. Nothing is good there from any player and Rodgers being out won’t help.

* Cowboys -5.5 @ 49ers

* The Cowboys have lost 2 in a row and some of the gleam has worn off. They need a win and big to get their mojo back.

* The 49ers are 0-6 straight up, but 4-2 against the spread.

* Seahawks -5.5 @ Giants

* Now seems like the right time for the Seahawks to start getting their mojo back.

* Can you name one offensive Giants player starting not named Eli Manning?

* Panthers -3 @ Bears

* The Bears are sneaky bad.

* Luke Kuechly’s health is a question already. That’s bad news for the Panthers.

* Titans -5.5 @ Browns

* Browns QB situation a mess again. Just when everyone praised DeShon Kizer as the savior after a Week 1 loss.

* If the Titans are who we think they are then they should win the division. They have the best QB in the division and there is no JJ Watt or Andrew Luck.

* Jags -3 @ Colts

* You are playing with fire if you are willing to lay points with Jacksonville on the road.

* Remember how many titles the Colts were supposed to win with Andrew Luck?

* Jets @ Dolphins -3

* Josh McCown is still the QB for the Jets. They aren’t as good as everyone thinks.

* In the last two games the Dolphins have beaten the Titans and Falcons. They are an easy team to hate, and even though they are hard to figure out,
