I’m worried about some messed up unexpected out of the hat Rudolf magic too along w Stoolers playing spoilers for the Bengals.

Got a bad feeling about this one despite everything on paper saying Bengals will / should win.

If defense steps it up today, should be a pretty solid win imo.

We've fielded worse secondaries without any injuries forcing the issue under Tomlin. I'm no more worried about the lack of secondary as I am other lacking areas.

Jess when did Todd Blackledge turn a hundred?

The numbing of emotions has started with some Buffalo Trace. Gonna feel no pain

Mannnn. I heard that !! Sadly. So true. Lol

[Housh]

Welp this could be the last meaningful game of the season so I’m gonna enjoy this and will absolutely have horrible takes this game because in my mind this is a playoff game



Looking for Pratt and Wilson to control this game and direct the run D with Reader gone.

It could really be as simple as if the linebackers have a good game we win

[Bilbo Saggins]

Acrisure?  Acrisure?!?!  What the hell is an acrisure?

I was a little TOO festive with the bourbon last night, so taking it light tonight so as to not be miserable tomorrow when we host the holiday dinner...

Mike Hilton and Tyler Boyd are game day captains

Just keep going all the way through Tuesday.

[Whacked]

I can’t stand getting the ball first we are off to a bad start

[jfkbengals]

Run the ball well and we win

[Whacked]

Can we please start this game off better than pedestrian

Teams have been able to run on Pitt. Bengals have to stick with it.
