Will The Weather Help Us?

But we're supposed to get a half inch Saturday night with winds between 10 and 15 mph, which here's a small sample of 12 mph win, which would be around the median.

If the rain and wind takes away their away their deep passing game and even limits their medium-range passing game, I think it heavily swings things in our favor because they could be down to their 3rd string running back or a hobbled 2nd stringer.

Our defense does a good job of that on their own. Roethlisberger has averaged a paltry 6.48 YPA against the Bengals this year. High completion %, but it's almost all short stuff. People worry so much about the Steelers offense, but our D did a great job against them in both games. In game 1, we held them to 10 points and picked off Ben 3 times.

In the 2nd game, people look at how they scored 33 points, but that's pretty deceptive. The Steelers scored 2 TDs directly off of McCarron INTs. One pick 6 and the other set the Steelers up at our 14 yard line. Take away those 2 scores and our D only gave up 19 points while holding Ben to all short throws, no TDs plus a pick. DeAngelo Williams punched in 2 TDs, so hopefully he doesn't play.

If our D plays the way it's capable of, I think McCarron can do just enough to win. I'd hit them with Hill (running behind Fisher) early and often though.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
