so whats going on here? Its almost as if nobody cares about this game. Where are all the Steeler fans talking all their trash? where are all the Bengals fans?
I may not be a Steelers fan, but I'll say some things that may sound like a bit of trash-talking to you Bengals fans out there: Cincy has no hope of winning this game at Pittsburgh.
While I don't expect this one to be a carbon copy of their first match-up this season, I suspect the end result will be the same with a closer final score maybe. The Steelers showed the world the best way of slowing down that high voltage offense of the Bengals, and that's running the ball on them all day.
Besides, Cincy hasn't shown that they can beat a quality team in their own house; how are they supposed to change their ways in a hostile environment against a team that needs that win more than they do? The Bengals have enough easy games after this one to get into the playoffs, maybe even win their division, but I'd be surprised if they make it out of the Wild Card weekend. Cincy fans need to appreciate this season for what it truly easy, a nice first step.
P.S.: This being my first post, I'd like to take a moment and thank my good friend Fro for showing me to this site. Funny how I used my first one to slam his favorite team, huh? No worries though, this is how it's always been between us.

While most of your post was dead on ejruiz, I wouldn't overlook the first meeting was very nearly 14-0 in the Bengals' favor. That wasn't what actually happened of course, but since then Pittsburgh's OLine has gotten dinged up as is Roethlisberger. Saying they have no hope of winning is a tad melodramatic.
