For those who missed these threads last year or otherwise need reminded: please remember that the purpose of these things is not to go full troll, invade other teams' sites, and post all kinds of moronic smack talk BS that makes our entire fanbase look stupid. This is meant only for observing to get a read on what the other side is feeling, and if you feel like joining another board to make comments just do so like an intelligent adult. I am sure you will. Thanks gang.

With that out of the way, we're ready for a new season and so are the fans of every opponent we will face -- especially those of the Pittsburgh religion. A quick browse of these threads shows a recurring theme: other than your typical slew of mad homers, most Steelers fans seem well aware that this game will be a difficult one. It's the Bengals' home opener as the reigning AFC champions, and the roster is loaded with great players on both sides of the ball. They do generally give themselves a puncher's chance though, and I think that is fair. Pittsburgh's defense should be excellent again, they have their own great array of offensive weapons, and should be able to beat teams in any game in which their quarterback(s) play average football. Their makeup this year isn't all that different from the Bengals' last year (albeit with less experience and probably less talent at QB).

It's a tough division game, and I would imagine neither team is taking it lightly.

well said
