Ours outside of Green have never. We have them beat in one category. TE. That's it on offense, and that's if Eifert plays.
They have one decent RB, and his production is less than Hill and Bernard.
Markus Wheaton does have a 200 yard game, but in 3 seasons he only has one other game with more than 75 receiving yards. He is not that great just because of one game.

And we have Green, Eifert, Jones, Bernard, Hill, and a few others. And Ben has to get the throw off to his receivers. Geno and Dunlap will have something to say about that. People forget we held them to 10 points in their house.

Not me, and we continue to trend that way. While I'm not predicting a Browns-type blowout, I believe we control the rest of our games for all of the reasons you have stated. We've seen enough to believe in our capability to meet each remaining challenge.

Meh. Talent wise AND on paper, this team can hang with (heck, crush) any team in the league.
That said, the STOOLERS and Pig Pen bring some sort of black magic (lol) to this team / these games that is undeniable. This is not just about the better team winning, this is about intangibles, inexplicables and luck (for the good or bad).
Say what you want about this too but this game will come down to well-planned coaching and potentially clock-management as well.
We SHOULD kick the snot out of these losers talent wise; especially in our house, but you all are nuts to be "confident" in any way. Lol.

The Steelers do have a lot of talent on the offense and some up incoming defense players but we are better overall but Steelers have been a tough game for us but we have defeated them in some crucial games also.. and have been very much more consistent game to game over the last 4 years so i feel we will play well and win a close one.

As always until proven differently I have absolutely no reason to believe the Bengals will lose this game. Our D is as good as it gets right now, injuries or not. They give up yardage, but games aren't decided by yardage, but by points scored. They sill have to cross that big colorful line to beat us and right now the Bengals aren't letting to many teams cross that line.

I go home for my Christmas break on Friday night, which means the Pissburgh game will be the first game I have been able to watch since the Raiders game on the opening weekend
Here's hoping Huddersfield crush Bristol City, and the Bengals crush the Steelers to make it another r
perfect weekend

We are going to win this. 29-22. We are more balanced. Pittsburgh is kind of one dimentional on both sides of the ball.

Always a battle with Pitt, but the Bengals are the better team top to bottom.
Bengals - 31
Steelers - 21

42 to 20 Bengals. Geno, Dunlap, and Johnson have huge days on defense. Eifert comes back and exploits the Steelers poor pass defense in route to a huge Bengals victory.

It's going to be that close, but I'll be a cockeyed optimist and flip that score.

No they don't. Aj, mlj, eifert and gio and hill and sanu as well ..they can't match all that. In years past, just ajs presence plus a desire in the national media to krap on Dalton led to the idea that the Bengals were "loaded" when they really weren't. Now it is actually the truth. The Steelers have firepower, but no more than we do, probably less.
Being a Bengals fan is like being in love with a narcissist. It's a brutal, emotionally abusive relationship but I never leave and just keep making excuses for them.

Bengals 21 Steelers 17. We still have problems moving the ball because Bodine gets exploited again but do enough. Steeler offense learns that playing the Colts is not the same as playing a real NFL defense.

All division games are tough. Both teams know each other so well. It'll come down to the wire.

I predict the Bengals win BUT Antonio Brown gets one of those long, explosive touchdowns BUT joins Bill Gramatica in the "hall of shame" as he injures himself while performing some ridiculous, and unnecessary celebration.
