I see a Rebound coming and for us to be Nipping at the Steelers hiney this year.
I still give the Steelers the edge with Big Ben but they will have their hands full with this Healthy Bengals team that added new Weapons.
The Steelers will have a fight on their hands. Maybe even literally with Burfict in the mix.
I see 2 head to head games that will be Brutal Battles. Highly emotional and physical. Bengals players have to want respect real bad.
Luckily we have a pretty easy schedule early besides the Texans game cause i think it will take a bit for the O-line to gel.
I think if our O-line can play decent this year we will win the AFC North over the Steelers. Our Defense will be better than
theirs most likely and we have just as many or more weapons on Offense for Dalton to choose from if these guys can stay
relatively healthy. The problem with this of course is our HC who is a Steeler fan and treats them different.
Our players and as you said specifically Burfict dislike the Steelers big time and these are the ones playing the game.
