I think maybe since Marvin is from Pittsburgh that he might be sabotaging us.
I just looked it up to make sure, and Blake was 4-5 against the Steelers as a Bengal. I want to say Palmer was 4-8 and Dalton is like 3-11.
I get that we "own" Baltimore and Baltimore sorta "owns" Pitt, but nobody is dominating quite like Pitt dominates the Bengals.

Your first statement might be true, but not the second one.
The Steelers were just as dominant in the 90's. During the Blake era (94-99), the Steelers went 57-39 with a Super Bowl appearance and 3 conference championship appearances.
For comparison, over the last 6 years, the Steelers are 61-35 with 0 Super Bowl appearances and 1 conference championship appearance.
Even with Kordell at QB, they were a FAR better team than the Bengals. So how was Blake able to go 4-5 against them, when superior QB's (Palmer and Dalton) are much worse?
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
