If we lose, what smack can you lay on us that isn't laid on us already?

On the other hand, the Bengals win, and the steelers have gone one and done the last 3 trips to the playoffs...and lost to not only the hated Bengals (again), but the same Bengals who hadn't previously won a playoff game since 1990.

The butthurt will be far greater for steelers fans......much to our joy.

Thats silly...thats like saying you cant smack the browns for firing yet another coach because that smack has already been used.

Yes, the bengals always do lose in the playoffs... but as I said, the expectations are higher this year for the bengals.  Prior playoff appearances the bengals always were regarded as pretenders, but the 2015 bengals for the first time since the 80's have been taken very seriously as legitimate Super Bowl contenders.

Plus the bengals chances of beating the Steelers are greater with aj.

Plus the bengals surely advance if playing anyone other than the Steelers.

And don't act like we hate you like you hate us. Steeler fans don't respect the bengals enough to hate them that much. Teams like the Rats, Cowboys, and Pats earn that distinction.

I'm sure you would agree that the butthurt you are about to feel Saturday will have hurt less if it came at the hands of anyone other than the Steelers.

Really? Higher expectations with a starting QB out with a fractured thumb? How did you survive life thus far, seriously that dumb and you haven't stepped into on coming traffic? Not a joke or smack, that is a legit question. 

Expectations WERE, key word there, were higher this year since the team seemed to be playing better as did Dalton. If they manage to win a playoff game it's a huge upset due to the fact that it's a back-up starting the game.
