Statement Game

That's when you will get the "lucky" comments, or that the steelers beat themselves due to turnovers, or that they were not at full strength...or at the very least they will say the Bengals played above their heads because of the revenge factor. One game will not change the perception that the steelers are better. Its going to take several wins over several seasons before that needle will budge.

I agree with Beaker, the Steelers are the NFL's little darlings, so it will revert right back to them for 'falling on their face', or not 'utilizing their weapons', or not having Bell or ____insert key player here for the loss____. Any game can be a 'statement'  game. Depends what the statement is...? 

Bengals are the red-headed step-child of the AFC North...(no pun intended) meaning, officiating never seems to go our way, whether it be a touchdown that was ruled as a touchdown on the field on game day, but later reviewed and said it wasn't a touchdown...insert (*) to the W*. Steelers are the block bullies. It seems okay for them to keep bullying, but the second they are the ones getting bullied, Officiating 'Dad' steps in and ends up deciding the game...usually in their favor. Our days of 'shut up and take it' are not far from over, but the second Marvin Lewis and staff allows this team to stand up for what is right, Marvin is considered a bad coach, with unruly uncharacteristic players on his roster. 

I truly hate the Steelers. Anytime this team can win in anyway shape or form, it is a statement game to me.  

Who-dey...F***-WeDey.
