I actually was a little concerned in Preseason but the Raiders game really shown me this team was special.

Lots of people were saying the Raiders were just that bad but i knew they were an up and coming team.

To go into their house and just completely dismantle them like that gave me high hopes from the beginning of the season.

Right now i agree with you, this team looks very seasoned and experienced. If we can just not shoot ourselves in the foot
with penalties i really like our chances tomorrow night. There are so many weaknesses on the Steelers that we can take
advantage of right now with our strengths.

Even though there is still the doubtful side, for the most part I am feeling confident we will win this. I know we can and think it is time we finally get that playoff win.

I'll be in the GameDay thread and I apologize now for any outbursts.

Who Dey!!!!!!

Yeah, my brother is a Raiders fan, he was bummed about that game.  He's also a Louisville fan....he said something like "my seasons are over before they got started".  I told him then that either team could rebound, and the Raiders are finally playing with heart.  He said, maybe y'all are just that good.....these days, he rolls with the latter.

Yes, he is correct to roll that way ha.

I feel like all that needs to be said has been said. I've analyzed it on here and had lengthy discussions about the game with friends. I'm just ready for the game to begin and ready to whoop on some Steeler ass!

You have been right on today...........!!!


You spelled tomorrow wrong... Don't worry I am an English Teacher.  It is my job...    Seriously you are right about No matter the outcome..............!!

I'm to the point where the analysis and projection is done. It's just time to see what happens.

Yeah I don't know how it's gonna happen but I feel good about a win. I was listening to Jeff Saturday and Teddy Bruschi talk about the year the Colts finally beat the Patriots and went on to win the Super Bowl. They both just agreed that collectively as a team the Colts had had enough of losing against those guys and physically decided it do something about it. I've got that feeling about these Bengals, they've had enough and are ready to physically and mentally do something about it

Much bettee kick off time here in Australia. Midday on Sunday kick off here, that makes up for the 5am monday morning that the majority of our games kick off at.

@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.

I also feel extremely confident.

Highlights of both Bengals/Steelers games:








If not for 2 McCarron INTs that gave Pittsburgh 14 easy points, it would've been a 20-19 win. I have a feeling McCarron will play better this time.
