Don't expect to go undefeated. This is one that I figured would be a loss.
However it isn't a given that we lose this game.
We do have the luxury of having 2 weeks to prepare for the Steelers. I know that our record doesn't reflect us doing well after the bye but this year is a different year.
The Steelers OLine is the biggest weakness on Offense. We have always matched up well against their OLine, and with the injury of Pouncey and Beachum, it just helps us that much more.
Ben might be back from the injury, but how will his knee hold up? Will he be as elusive as he previously was? If the answer to those questions is that he rushed back too soon then that will also play into the Bengals favor.
The Steelers D isn't what it used to be. They are faster, but we just have too many weapons to cover everyone. Dalton is more elusive than Palmer and has never been afraid to throw the ball away and wait for his chances.
So here is to 6-0 and now the chance to be 7-0.
