Was at the GA/UK game tonight.  Hoping by Bengals kick-off that I am completely thawed out.  Only 13 1/2 hours to go!

   

Edit: it was actually 17 hours away when I said it, and only seven hours now

Bengals need to come out strong today. Hope the Bengals run the rock and stop Pittsburgh on defense.

Yeah. Has me worried the Steelers are gonna be as desperate as us to get the win today. Fitzpatrick was one of the big reasons we lost the first game along with Watt. I hope we game plan for Watt as that seems easier to do than for Fitzpatrick. This is gonna be a real good test to see how much the oline has improved. 

[Whacked]

^ Yup. Not happy.

It's the Steelers, so of course I want to see the Bengals kick their ass!

I look at the prediction thread for this game. It surprises me so many fans are dismissing the Steelers at home with and Fitz playing. I see a very close game, but we have to win the turnover battle. Looking back at week 1, our turnovers lost that game and also lack of pass pass protection for Joe.

i say we are in for a nail biter and game could go either way, turnovers and kickers decide the outcome.

Just because he’s fit to be on the field doesn’t mean he’s going to play well see Burrow week 1.

We owe these after what happened at PBS if the run game really has improved I think we win comfortably.

I dont care if they run the rock or throw the rock, build a fireplace chase with rocks, just get a win today

Burrow also played zero snaps in the preseason

I was there yesterday for Pitt. It was cold. It was windy. And it was infested with pigeons. A flock of at least 100 spent the first half on the field. Some of them had balls too. A couple didn't move for the marching band and they had to avoid them.

Are you drunk? Wait....never mind. 
Us old folks will take 4:30 over 8:00 every day of the week.

Hope it can't be worse than that old spray-paint-the-dirt approach they took up at Municipal Stadium.  Looked like shit even in good weather.

Well watching the first half of the Rats vs Panthers was stultifying. Between watching Carolina put on a clinic on how not to cover receivers and on both sides questionable QB decision making the game is 3-0 Rats at halftime.

I’m with him and I think it is for the same reasons. If I remember correctly, he is not in the Cinci area and neither am I. I hate that they moved it because I don’t get to watch the Bengals on TV often, so when I do it is really nice. I went from expecting to see them on TV to prepping my office for the stream.
