Root for the Bengals tonight.

[Discipline of Steel]

One other thought....and Im not trying to weasel out of tough games....but if we lose to Cinci. they will get the Pats* and Dolts next year, not us.
Just a little silver lining in case things go south.....

Im glad the Bungles won. It makes it slightly less possible that the Steelers will come in overconfident.

Its a trap game. They dont *have* to win. They've beaten the Bengals badly. They're on a 7-2 run. Cue one for a bad game.

Personally, I'd prefer a win where nobody gets hurt, but given a choice between a bruising victory leaving key players limping and a tame loss where everyone comes out fit (and p.o.ed enough to make an angry run through the next 4 games), I'd prefer the latter.

It seems that Cincy has played the Steelers tougher in Pittsburgh than at home lately. It's kind of nice that they got the primetime monkey off their backs against a good team like Denver and they are already in the dance- they are the team in the AFCN that I hate the least, still
