It's time to get the season sweep and establish ourselves as the Steelers' daddies!

It's a new era!

GET FIRED UP!

Always nervous for this game, but would love nothing more than to put a beat down on them... make it 3 straight W's and finally put those f**kers in the rear-view mirror.

Be their daddys? Just who among us would want our own sperm to be so defective anyway? I know my kids are mutants and all, but not to THAT extent..

Every time I really start to believe in this team, they take a step back (refusing to win the Packers game, the Jets/Browns debacles after the glory of the Ravens win).

It is steeped in the history of the team. From jump. Cook's injury. The TOs and goal line failure vs SF. Krumrie's leg, Wilson's crack, Billups' drop, and Montana's drive in the rematch.

There have peen particularly painful one's vs Pitts. Carson's leg. Dalton's thumb. And the colossal 2015 playoff meltdown.

IIRC, we have not swept them since 2009. This would be a most pleasant 3 in a row. And essentially give us a 2 game cushion over them with 6 to play. Gonna be tougher this time with Watt back, however.

Just dreamin, but how wonderful is THEY went on a 40 year playoff drought? The Pirates have sucked for a good while..Squeelers turn too..

F the steelers, as always

Yep. It's games like these that either chip away at the 'fall-on-your-face' narrative, or continue to build on it. All the pretty talk and all the pretty articles don't amount to much until these games get won more consistently.

Resign ZT now

Assuming you meant re-sign.

And what a GLORIOUS day it was. Now, all that's left to do is sit back and watch Cleveland and Balitmore beat each other up

Just wanted to share this post from a Steelers forum, thought it was worth a laugh since so many were upset we had to settle for Jonah Williams after the Steelers traded up for Devin Bush. 

Quote:Devin Bush is terrible.


He may very well be the worst LB in all of football. Spillane is clearly the better option. Bush runs himself out of every play and never takes good angles. Not to mention he is an AWFUL tackler. Cut this man at half stop wasting time.

Then

Quote:Bush is already wrote off in my book, if he’s still hurt he wouldn’t be playing (Banner). He lost his confidence, and is a straight liability in a already suspect defense.

I have been making this statement for weeks now and people always defend him. Please look up the sunk cost fallacy. We traded up and took him in the first round so people think he should be good. He is not, at least not anymore. He plays as if his dad is making him, just like Justin Fields. He’s done, cut him and move on after this season. But he should not be starting.

You love to see Steelers fans suffering. 

Also for a little more : 

Quote:This is the worst blowout loss we’ve suffered since week 2 1989, when we coincidentally also got beat 41-10.

Anyone wanna guess who that was against?

Looks like they were wrong on that one though, lost to Philly by 31 in 2016, but still hilarious.

That first half was as complete a beat down in every phase of the game as I have ever seen.

I'm just grooving on how prescient this post was.

Yep.

Some eye-popping first-half stats:

Joe Mixon: 20 carries, 117 yards, TD
Tee Higgins: 5 rec, 95 yards, TD
Joe Burrow: 14/16, 154 yards, TD, INT
Total yards: #Bengals 261-95
Defense: 2 INTs, Mike Hilton pick-6

Bengals 31, Steelers 3.

The ONLY 2 "dings" I see on the "complete beatdown" aspect are...

1. Not being able to punch it in from the 5 after Apple's INT.
2. Burrow's INT late in the 2nd quarter.

He threw that on purpose to get field position for Hilton's pick six. Convince me I'm wrong.....
