We have 3 weeks to wrap our brains around it

I don't get the big deal about being afraid of the Steelers. I think it is tougher to beat a team 3 times in a row. They split this year and the Bengals were down so many starters last game it was hardly something to compare to if they have most of those guys back. I also don't care what the record is at home over the last X amount of years. The 2015 Bengals have to play the 2015 Steelers for an hour. Nothing else should play into that in regards to tipping scales.

They want to win a Superbowl they are going to have to fight through adversity and really good teams to do so. Better to have them fight early and get better through the end of the season, whenever that may be.
