You won't be saying this during the GameDay thread! 

EDIT:  I mean about the ho hum part....

Is it strange that I feel confident about the Bengals chances of advancing?

So do I. It's scary. I hate when they give me hope. Hope is what makes it sting. 

Game Day Thread will get ugly tommorrow. No matter the outcome.

Who ever is going to the game.... Rock it out... and no booing.... it just feeds those steelers.

me too man!   Nortmally Im like f*** playing these guys.  But this is anyone's game and if we don't let them beat us deep, the crowd going apeshit, and our guys playing with chip on their shoulder from last outcome.....I think we play good football. This will come down to avoiding costly turnovers (pick 6's) and strong starts. Last time out they took Opening drive and shoved it down our throats for 6. We need to score first and put all the pressure on them.

Nope. I had that feeling in '13 and '12......and '09

I wouldn't boo, and I promise I will not have a voice after the game.  It is one of those few things in sports where the fans actually can help the home team.  I'm hoping for at least three false start penalties against pitt.

Yeah I don't think I'm going in there.  The fair weathers who give up after one or two plays make me mad.

It may just be my orange colored glasses, but the more I sit down and analyze things, the more confident I am in this team. Just hope they don't let the past get in their heads and play with some poise this time around.  Avoid the penalties and giving up the big plays and they can win this.  

Not ho hum. Just tired of all the talking and BS. I'm ready for the game and i have a good feeling about it, going in.

I stopped reading them live a couple years ago. I watch the game then, sometimes, go back and read the carnage.

Starting to get nervous now but with that is coming the optimism too....!!

The game will not kick off until 01:15 Sunday morning here in the U.K so its going to be a looooonnnnnngggg day tomorrow waiting. If I get too hyper now I'll smashing the house up come the early hours of Sunday morning

I'm with you guys and I rarely feel confident going into a playoff game. StoneTheCrow is right though. Hope makes it sting when/if the fail.

@Zona: I think it's just the calm before the storm. We had 443 people viewing JN when I logged in on Sunday. I expect far more than that on Saturday.

See, I never felt confident in any of those other seasons.  Every game that McCarron has played in, he gets a little better, more settled, more in control of the offense.  The team is rising up to support him.  Not that I wouldn't rather have Andy out there, leading the team.  I just have a feeling that there is something special about this team.

I hope you're right. I want the Bengals to win this game. I think if we can get Dalton back we can go all the way.

I've felt like this team was special, all the way back in the preseason.  They're no longer that young, raw, talented group that takes it's lumps when push comes to shove.  They are a seasoned group with leaders on both sides of the ball, all across the roster.  Save for Center and OLB, there really aren't many weak spots to target on this team.
