2005 Bengals- High-flying passing attack, suspect defense
2005 steelers- Balanced, grinding offense, great defense
The 2015 Bengals are the 2005 steelers and vice versa. We can only hope this Bengals team fares as well as that 2005 steeler team.
And, FWIW, I want Pig Ben up the entire game, with about 5 INTs....close to the number of chins under his fat head.
There are similarities. But the Bengals 05 defense had over 31 interceptions and 13 forced fumbles, 6 recovered. Those are some pretty great numbers.
Also, the Bengals offense is MUCH better than the Steelers in 05. The difference is QB play right now. With McCarron in we obviously have had to change some things, so in that sense they are similar.
But I take the 15 Bengals over the 05 Steelers. With a healthy Dalton.
