    I don't know? I'm really nervous about the Bengal game this week.That Dalton to Green Connection is scary.If we play like we did against the Chiefs,I think were in trouble?Man,We gotta come out and stake our claim right away.This is a big game.I know that every game is huge for us,I'm just nervous as hell. I hope we find a way Sunday. :yeehaw:

    I fine Pitts always plays like crap after a bye week, that's why I hate when there's 2 weeks off before the SB. It usually takes a half to get things going again. ( except for last night) tho that was pretty much KC season they had to play like that to stand any chance, the crowd was in it from the get go.

    Yup... I'm worried. Our high-powered offense put up a pathetic 13 points on a team that was giving up 24+ PPG and that was with 4 turnovers!

    I'm nervous before every game, so nothing new here. We just seem to play down to the level of any (every) opponent and there are times when that bites us on the butt.

    Depends on how serious our team practices this week because the Bengals are going to be practicing at 110% and will be playing as if its the SB. They must pressure Dalton and double cover AJGreen. If the Steelers get up by a score or two they must keep the pressure and not let the Bengals have a reachable comeback. Dalton has 4 4th qtr come from behind wins this year.
    I really don't like our chances at all in this one.
    The coaching matchup of Gruden Vs. LeBeau doesn't worry me as much as the matchup of Arians Vs. Zimmer.
    Steelers better take the Bungles seriously for this game. The Bengals can almost smell the playoffs and for a team that rarely gets there that is so much motivation.

    I'm worried about every game anymore. Championship caliber players playing peewee caliber football. I love my Steelers, but honestly there's no reason we shouldn't be undefeated right now.

    As stated already, I'm nervous about EVERY game we play from here on out.

    Not nervous, we typically play well at home vs Cin. While the Dalton/Green combo may connect for a miracle jump ball, we should be able to smother them throughout the course of the game and come out with an unspectacular, yet solid victory. I look for us to score between 20-30 and them 10-20.

    I'm not going to say I am worried as much as I am going to say that I hope Ben's thumb is not as bad as I think it really is at this point.

    Definitely. Other than the Cards and Hawks games the Steelers wins haven't exactly been emphatic.

    I have hope every game that they will put together a complete game on offense which attacks the other teams weaknesses and limits their own. Still waiting at the end of the weekend most times.

    This is a very scary game for our Steelers, Cincy is playing
    much better than our Steelers. We have to get the ship on course and get hot
    and start playing some good football down the stretch.

    I'll admit that I'm nervous about every single game at this point. There are no gimmies this year. We've managed to make every seemingly easy game difficult on ourselves.

    I don't think statistically it's the case, but in my head we're pretty much out of the playoffs if we lose this game.

    Ben need to start throwing it short and spreading it around.This way our oline doesnt have to hold their block that long and before you know it we are in the redzone.We can score but we have to be patient and who knows with all the speed we have they will break a long one off a short pass.

    No, we almost always play poorly against bad teams. There is no way that let down occurs at home against a division rival with a playoff spot on the line

    I don't want to jinx the Steelers ..but I'll take my chances since it's only the Buttheads we're playing. The bye week rust will be off, it's at home, and the buttholes just got by the Poo Stains. If the poopers had a FG kicker they would've won it, that guy is brutal lol surprised the Poopers haven't called Reed.

    I am also nervous about the Bengals. It will take one heck of an effort by the Steelers to win this one.

    I'm not nervous yet. I don't get nervous until Friday or so. :) I'm pretty confident overall though. Sure, nobody is jumping for joy over the narrow victory over KC, but we seem to always stutter coming off the bye. The bungles will need a lot of help beating us in our own house this Sunday. ;-)
