Bengals banged up...

It looks like the Bengals will be limping into this one...They will be down a starting Safety and their best CB and their 2nd. best CB Hall banged up and listed as Questionable dealing with a bad back, so even if he goes I don't expect him to be right...

If ever there has been a week to go multiple WR'S it has to be this 1 ...There is no reason not to spread them out and force practice squad DB'S and Rookie DB'S on the field .. If Haley runs to many tight formations in this game I will go insane ...Here is a list of their report..http://www.cincyjungle.com/2015/12/...gals-vs-pittsburgh-steelers-thursday-practice

 

Based on the last few games, I think we'll see them airing it out as often as possible.

Of course, this is Haley, so he may know that the opposing dc will know that, so he'll switch it, but then guess that the dc will know he'll switch, so knowing he knows he knows he knows... yeah, I'm guessing they'll just pass all day.

 

Sounding a bit Princess Bride there...

 

given they are all banged up on the secondary I expect them to fully shut us down

 

Yes to this thigpen.. We need to have a good plan to stop these throws. Safety help is going to be essential.. Hopefully Gay is ok after his concussion and Boykin are playing. Blake had a pretty decent game against the Colts after an abysmal outing in the previous week.

 

So, we should expect to see a bunch of wildcat then?

 

never bet a Haley when a playoff spot is on the line

 

Speak of limping ..Our offense needs to play smart and consistent ball on Sunday. Ben needs to get the ball out without the dance and the front 5 giving solid protection he then should stay upright. Ben will be in the crosshairs all day and without Ben it's over...we need Ben healthy to pursue another championship.

 

Now we know why MT always has that 'deer in the headlights' look on the sidelines.

 

Banged up teams can still find ways to win games.

 

Inconceivable!

 

They should get the running game going because the last game vs the Bengals Ben threw 3 ints, they took away the deep ball by double coverage on AB and Bryant.

 

But that was also his first game back after the knee injury - he's always rusty the first game back.

 

If they take another guy's knee out in this game I will walk up to them and say "My name is BlountForceTrauma. You hurt my Steeler. Prepare to die."

 

And then what happens after they fall on the ground laughing uncontrollably?

 

The Bengals will be ready for us, this will be no cakewalk.
Buckle em up, this should be a hard hitting affair just like
the last one. Go Steelers

 

And please, please, somebody cover their tight end on every pass play.

 

I don't think it will be a cake walk , but it should be a decisive victory ...If we intend to make any noise against Teams like the Broncos and the Patriots we need to be able to throttle a beat up Bengals Team ..As hurt as they are on all 3 levels of their Defense if we can't exploit that ,we might as well start getting ready for the draft...

 

Keep throwing it baby!!

 

Last game played against bengals at cincinnati 2014, Pitt 42-cincy 21, Dec 28 cincy at pitt, pitt 27 cincy 17, we know how to beat these guys and I expect us to do it again....

 

I truly believe that our loss to them earlier this season was only because Ben was rusty. Had he not missed those games with the knee, we would have rolled over them (assuming, of course, that our secondary is able to cover Green and any TE that they field).

Play to win and keep the foot on the throttle like we did against Indy and we should be fine. Play not to lose or outsmart ourselves (MT?) and we're in trouble against any team we have coming up.

 

JJ Watt had his chance, now it's time for Harrison to turn Andy into the "Red Ryder" after all, it's the time of year for "A Christmas Story"

 

I show them my fencing skills. Well as long as they have 6 fingers on one hand anyway.

 

Odd that that movie was on last night. Of course, I had to watch it!
"Mawiage is what bwings us togever today............"

 

One of the funniest scenes of all time!
