It's only once in a blue moon that we even put up a challenge, let alone win. Does anyone know what Marvin's record is against them? I think he's won 6 total... You gotta wonder if even even truly wants to beat his hometown team. He grew up a steeler boy, their "loyalty" allegedly runs deep (Note: I'm mostly being sarcastic here).

Now with that said, I would no doubt have a nonstop jizz-fest if we could at least put a damper on their playoff hopes. I'm 90% certain we won't, and I'm 85% certain we'll get our asses thoroughly kicked. But hey... Any given Sunday

Your skepticism is understandable and your assessment of Marv's steeler track record is accurate.  However, the Bengals have largely owned the Ratbirds under him (at least over the Dalton Era) and the Bengals defense is only allowing roughly 16 points per game since the bye.  No team is "kicking their ass".  I think the Bengals could lose, but I am excited to see the suddenly resurgent defense get after piggy.
