That's even including a game where our starting QB got knocked out on the first drive of the game. All I'm saying is that there's reasons for optimism going forward. I'm looking forward to our games with the Steelers this year. I doubt the Steelers' offense feels the same way.
The ***** slapping has nothing to do with the score or intimidation. What I was referring to is the 'button pushing' (***** slapping) that the Steelers use as a tactic and the Bengals are sucked in by responding with after whistle fouls. The Bengals are no longer intimidated by them, but still respond to the Steeler 'taunting'.
Again, the 3 games they've won, only one has been at home.
