#1. Spoil Steelers play-off hopes
#2. Avoid a season sweep by Steelers
#3. If Finley QB's a win, he will be 1-0 against Steelers and that's a positive.

ZT would go to 1-1 against the Steeler's, another positive.
2024 may go on record as one of most underperforming teams in Bengal history. Bengal's FO has major work to do on defensive side of the ball. I say tag and trade Tee Higgins in 2025 to start with the rebuild.

To me that's the temperature gauge for this team, the stinking Steelers. For this team to ever see true success they have to get the Steelers monkey off their back.

Would be nice. Could see it happening if Mixon runs all over them and we stop the run.
Need to take pressure off of Finley if he is starting again. Would be a bright spot to beat the Steelers, always is.

That's the key I do believe. If we can have some success running it and the D can crap out a couple stops we might have a chance ? Get a turnover or two ?

Yes it’s the Steelers. Beat them down. Give ZT key to city if he wins. New Dey

IF the bengals win this one and it's a big if for me it'll only cement the notion that it's only designed to make people believe this team is even trying to improve. Pittsburgh will have been in on the fix. I'd call it a fixed game if we win.

I know you like to try and add humor at times, if so not sure I get it this time.
If serious why would a 5-5 team one game back from WC throw a game to a team we all know they hate.

Your post is how a rational person thinks.

What the Bengals need is for Joe Burrow to continue his excellence against the top defenses that may include Chase Young/Ohio state and draft him #1 overall.
Quarterback is the most important position in football. It is also the hardest position to find a true superstar.
I would love to have Chase Young because he is the real deal at one of the top positions but the Bengals need a QB.

People like to gamble and people who pay the winners don't really like paying the winners if they can help it.. It ain't rocket science or brain surgery or even rocket brain science surgery..
