Nothing like an average, at best, OL playing at 90%!!

Useless trivia of the day:

The Bengals are 5-2 all-time versus the Steelers at home in September, and have outscored them 94-57 in the last 4 meetings.

Then...we should, do fine. Good to know, my friend. And -- NO trivia is useless.

Let's put the squeelers in the basement early, where they'll stay all season.

Who is going to be the first to declare the season over?

[GridironMonarch]

"Miss" Trubisky and the Stoolers are GOING DOWN!!!! WHO DEY!!!!!

[jfkbengals]

So we haven't had this as a legitimate statement since 1989. Anything less than a Championship trophy will be a failed season.

Joelist. If Burrow struggles at all, he'll also be the first to declare how overrated he is and how he isn't "the guy". Lol.

One thing is absolutely true, The O-line has to be better.
I expect quite a bit better.

WHOOOOOOOOOO

DEYYYYYYYYY

Good game folks.

[*psychdoctor*]

The Cincinnati Bengals are overlooked this year. The reacquaintance tour begins today.

[jfkbengals]

Cowher made a statement moments ago that "Last season the Bengals said the Steelers quit", trying to say it was motivating Pittsburgh. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't that statement made after the first victory last year, well before we spanked them the second time?

[M.W.]

Bengals are certainly getting a heck of a lot of respect!

I think they are better than average but average is a huge improvement.

I get sick every time I see a wide open chase on last play of super bowl.

Hope they can jump to an early lead it’s pouring here about an hour west of cincy
