Kitna in 7 seasons that he pretty much was the start his best season was 8-7 no playoffs overall record in those seasons was 40-63  Mitch has 4 years starting with a 29-21 record, and two trips to playoffs..  Nothing against Kitna was a warrior as a backup but Trubisky has been a better starter

I get that it’s the Steelers and everyone has scars from playing them, but we’ve won the last 3 in a row and it doesn’t matter if it’s tiny hands or the back up in waiting starting next Sunday, I really think we will make a statement that we’ve got no super bowl hangover.

Couldn’t have picked a better game to start with.

So if you are still bashing Zac Taylor, you are one of the few.  Most Bengals Fans are very happy the change and turnaround Zac Taylor has made to this team.  Zac Taylor gave us a team we can be proud of.  Bengals Fans waited a lot of years to be Proud of The Bengals again.   Zac Taylor turned this team into a Winner, and it didn't take him that many years to do it.  3 years is a short time to take a team from the Toilet Bowl to The Super Bowl. 

Now I give credit to Marvin Lewis for making this team better than it was in the 1990's.  Still, his last years I think he was not up to speed with the New NFL.  He got old.  His old stuff didn't work anymore.  He had the 5 straight play-off seasons which had never happened in Bengals History, but then it all went downhill.  ZAC TAYLOR came in and got the Bengals into The New NFL, and in just 3 years to Super Bowl. 

Somehow you brought Bash Zac in here on an opening game prediction thread.  Rather amazing since Bengals were in Super Bowl 7 months ago.  So lets get back to TODAYS GAME.   Bengals WIN because Joe Burrow is better than whoever is replacing Big Ben. 

BENGALS WILL WIN......GO BENGALS.....GO JOE BURROW.....GO ZAC TAYLOR

100% of the posters on here picking the Bengals is the kiss of death so…

Steelers 23
Bengals 20

New O line needs more time together and Pitt is fired up after last years sweep.
They did lose to the Bears and Jets last year so there are no guarantees, right?

Early prediction:
Bengals 121
Cowboys 3
