But we have to start wrapping our brains around the fact that the Bengals are the better team. Even when we lost to the steelers the second time out, we held ben to zero TD throws with our decimated secondary. On top of that, two costly INTs gift wrapped 14 points for the steelers. Take away those and the Bengals win 20-19 with3/4th of their starting secondary out and playing their back up QB.

There will be no sweeter way to end our playoff woes than beating our most hated rivals. I say we have three weeks to start changing the way we think and go into this playoff game with every fan believing that we will take them down! Can you imagine the momentum going into the next playoff game if we have just shut up the steelers and their fans? If we truly want to make it to the SB, we are going to have to beat good teams. I say, let's start with the steelers!

With this attitude, and playing smart and aggressive I think we win.

O-line/ D-line has to play aggressive.   WRs need to be clutch.   DBs & LBs need to play controlled and smart - and not be baited by the Steelers.  With Dalton I think we definitely beat them.  Without Dalton I think we can still beat them.   Just can't play lazy or stupid.
