Ah nothing like skirting the concussion protocol.

Either way no one is worried about the steelers Gay Island.

In that case, it's probable that the steelers score 45 points.

[freezebowlbengal]

Marvin said he was going to saw it off. Since Jones is no longer in the cast he must have found one.

Pittsburgh @ CINCINNATI
SAN FRANCISCO @ Cleveland
SEATTLE @ Baltimore

You might have to, to win this one.

Really doubt you want a shootout. Steeler Killer Reggie Nelson will be finding his way to a couple of Big Ben's interceptions. Making it much more likely the bengals stop more of their drives than your defense can stop ours.

Probably. the Blake on green mismatch is embarrassing. At least Gay is big enough to tackle him after he makes the catch.

Nelson doesn't matter. Pacman out or at least gimpy leaves no one at all to cover any of the 3 receivers. The real concern is Steeler o-lineman losing their individual match-ups and the Bengals 4 down lineman getting quick pressure while 7 can drop back into coverage.

Nelson totally matters.. he has been a key in our secondary. having an ALL Pro year.. he has been great on deep threats.. Adam Jones is essential also but to say Nelson does not matter is not to know our defense very well.

I don't see the Bengals giving up 45 at home to the whining Stealers. Not going to happen, whether Adam Jones plays or not.

Ben will throw at the biggest mismatch and any receiver we line up can't be covered by the corners the bengals will field. There's not much 1 safety can do when every receiver is winning their match against the corner.

The Bengals Dline is going to have to get constant pressure and force a short passing game. Rest of the D will have to make the tackle for a short gain. If not, the Steelers passing attack will continue their record breaking stretch of games.

First, Ben will need time to throw.. the Bengals at home outside of one game of the last 4 the Steelers have played have sacked Ben 10 times , our Defense is first in the league in scoring defense and it showed in Pittsburgh already this year...

 the key to this game is will be the Steelers defense be able to stop our offense especially at the Jungle where we have performed very well, the Steelers secondary has been a very sad lot this year and I fully expect our offense to continue that trend and put up more points than Steelers offensive.. it will be close but I just feel as long as we are not down 3 Corners and Safeties our depth on both sides of the ball plus home field advantage will win out.

You act like the bengals play straight man. You will get that in Denver. If the bengals were a man team you wouldn't see all those screens the steelers always throw against them.

And yes keep thinking Nelson is irrlevant.
