I hope the Bengals come out all about business rather than headhunting.

Let the Stealers show who they are. Let's stay within our game and smoke 'em on the field.

Agreed. Like Ken Broo said in the video...forget about last year and the playoff game. 

The Bengals can win this game as long as they protect the ball and don't allow big plays down the the field. Of course, they also need better play from the O-line and they have to establish the running game this week. 

Another thing to remember...under Marvin, the Bengals have always played better against the Steelers in Pittsburgh.

[Emphasis]

It's safe to presume everyone agrees that the Bengals faced the tougher opposition this past week. The Bengals will capitalize on mistakes and opportunities significantly more so than the Redskins were [not] able to.

As long as we don't let A.B. and their RB run amuck, I do not see us losing this game.

Totally agree, this team has no fear in Pittsburgh.. they have risen to the occassion the last few years... no way do I believe we as a team are intimidated.. it will be a slugfest of a game.. hope we are still standing at the end

Big game for both teams this week. Everyone knows both sides have potent offense.

And Dalton has cracked Rosenthal's quarterback top 10 for this week.

I see the Steelers as at least a 3 point favorite at home; turnovers will likely decide the game which could go either way, but I think the Steelers have a 60% chance of winning.

Slim comfort though. They predicted wrong for all three games last year.

Suppose to rain and I look for an ugly defensive battle. Unfortunately, I think the Steelers could pull this one out. I still think the Bengals win the division though.

How is dreadlocks vs Mike Munchak not one of the match-ups?

It turns out that the Dolphins play the Patriots for the early game, too which rules out any chance this could be on TV. I am going to the last day of the comicon I've been at this weekend and will have to check out how the game went when I get home. There is a smidge of a chance we could be moving to Cincinnati before the season ends because of my mother's failing health and of course it will be much easier to see games after that.

Uggh, how is this a Dan Fouts game????

I love Fouts games. Makes me laugh several times a game, just wish he would use the telestrator like Madden. Not to mention, our O-coordinator is the son of Fouts' coordinator when he played, I'm sure he'll have a lot to say on that subject.

I think we have a good shot at winning this thing if the team does two things this week:

1) Better O-line play, I expect Ced to be much improved now that he has the rust knocked off.
2) STOP THE RUN. Dress every D-line and Linebacker we have and stay in your run lanes.

As long as it's not a Chargers game I can take him.

Williams out again?  Who gives Geno a rest?

Does Cody Core get a shot this year?
