Will this team be fired up for Saturday?

[Ricky Spanish]

So many times it's seems the Bengals are not emotionally fired up for a big game with Pittsburgh.

I really hope this team comes out with a passion and intensity they have never had before.

They have to be sick and tired of being embarrassed and bullied around by the Steelers.

It's time for the Bengals to stomp their yellow asses in the turf.

This is our year!

I do know 1 thing.  Antonio Brown would be wise not to start another slap fight (like he did with Kirkpatrick) with Pacman.  Amari Cooper can vouch for that.

Cryin' steeler bitches end up with stitches.

If they can't get fired up for this there is something wrong. 

I'd be more worried about them being too amped up more than anything

Name one time this team has played the Steelers and wasn't fired up.  Come on.  Is this really a post?

Just because you don't see things on TV doesn't mean that a team isn't "fired up" or emotionally into a game.

Big difference between being fired up and emotionally stupid, penalizing themselves right into another close game loss!

They are all saying they won't let the Steelers bait them into that this time around, but I wouldn't bank on it.

The team needs some more swagger. Some more plays where the offense puffs out its chest, more sack dances, more finger pointing. I know it's not everyones favourite thing to see on the field, but it helps pump up those on the field and gets the crowd behind them. This is what is sometimes missing. The team needs to avoid coming out flat. Keep the momentum, even if that means a little over-the-top posturing after plays.

They'll come out fired up to start the game. What they REALLY need to avoid is coming out flat in the second half. The GD Bengals bugaboo, it is. It's like the coaches hand out heroin.
