Not only will this game end up with a lopsided score in favor of Pittsburgh but there will be body bags all over the field. As the late Howard Cosell used to say, there are overtones of ugliness in the air.
On the positive side, this game should be the beginning of the end for Zac Taylor. What the national television audience is going to see is a difference between a true AFC North football team and one mistakenly built to barely compete in the NFC West.
Conservatively I think the Steelers win by at least 40 points. Why? Even with Joe Burrow in the lineup Cincinnati only managed to score 10 points the last time they played the Steelers. This should prove to one and all that merely drafting Joe Burrow and surrounding him with scrub players coached by abject morons is not even close to what the Bengals need to do.
Hopefully this puts an end to Mike Brown’s half century long mistaken theory of simply having a “bell cow” quarterback causes a team to win.
The Steelers better hope the Bengals with nothing to lose don't make the game chippy and start going after the knees of OL and DL. Yes, the Steelers could do do the same, but injuries to Bengals players right now mean nothing in the short term, for Steelers it could cost each player a crap load of playoff money if they lose guys for rest of the year.
I suggest we sign Burfict for one game to reunite him against Big Ben. That would be fun, Then, we can cut him again.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
