I haven't noticed this on here yet. Players coaches and analysts chime in about the rivalry and the buildup of animosity that has occurred over the years(The Antonio Brown quote should certainly bring some fire a venom in here). I enjoyed the read, I hope you will as well.

I swear I've been seeing no less than three articles a day coming out about this game. Amazing that this isn't in primetime.

Can this even be called a rivalry? When your head coach has 8 wins and 20 losses? That's not a rivalry. That's domination on an embarrassing level.

Pretending to be a bengals fan in jungle noise is cute. Unoriginal, but cute.

Definately gets you pumped up. Man, i liked a lot of the Bengal quotes, especially Crocker's and Lapham's.
Some of those Steeler quotes would have to pump up the team if they needed it. I just doubt they need it.
We have enough to think about to start taking over this thing. We are the better team i truly believe, it is just a
matter of time and i think it starts this Sunday. Ben and that Offense have more troubles with our Defense than
about anyone lately. The Steelers Secondary has its questions.
Give Dalton time on Offense, take away the run on Defense and get Ben into 3rd and longs.

It is cute. Even the Steeler players speak of it as a rivalry.
Tell them it is not a rivalry come Sunday.

I think the lack of D-line success + the revenge factor = Ben on the ground a LOT on Sunday...
I predict 6 sacks

About the numbers? Sure. But make no mistake, anyone that says this isn't a rivalry that supplies some extra juice compared to most other games is naive, you included.

How is it even a question? Ofc Bengals/Steelers is a huge rivalry. Mike & Mike were just talking about it this morning. They were comparing it to the other major sport's biggest rivalries, and how it stacks up.
Is it Ohio State/Michigan? Or Yankees/Red Sox? I'd say not yet. It's the best in the NFL atm though, imo.

Yes, and it's not even close. Anyone that says otherwise is foolish.

Call it what you want, but the last 5 years the intensity level and hard hitting has been like a Super Bowl final.
2024 may go on record as one of most underperforming teams in Bengal history. Bengal's FO has major work to do on defensive side of the ball. I say tag and trade Tee Higgins in 2025 to start with the rebuild.

For those saying it's not a rivalry, they have a point.
You can say it's very contentious, but by the numbers, it's not really a rivalry yet. There needs to be some (more) wins with bigger stakes, or at least more of a 50/50 split for it to be a "rivalry".

I think Gay (the last quote) had the most accurate quote of everyone. This rivalry means so much more to fans than players. Now maybe after the last game it means a lot more but for the majority of players, once they leave the Bengals or Steelers they couldn't care less about the game. If a fan leaves Cinci or Pitt, they still care greatly about the game. I think in most cases, the fans blow the rivalry into something much more then it is for the actual players, at least on a professional level.

When he first got here the bengals were bad.... whats are record vs the steelers during daltons time. (I know his first 2 years I think it was 0-4 but its been much better sense.)
Hard to beat a dirty team sometimes especially when it always seems the refs are in the pocket.
Think of how many missed calls just from the last meeting. of top of my head
J hills fumble that wasn't really a fumble.
Dirty hit on Benard that wasn't called...
Bryants TD that wasn't even a catch.
And the list goes on....
