MrCincinnati Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 If the Bengals somehow win there next 2 games, I think this team finally wins a playoff game. Based on the track record of this team though, I see a letdown this week Steelers 38 Bengals 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INbengalfan Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I see the Bengals winning Sunday, but probably losing in KC. And even if they lose in KC, I see no reason to think a loss to one of the top teams in the NFL on the road is a precursor to the inability to win in January.

Even if we lose both of these games it’s not like we are out of it. As long as we look good and can sneak away 1-1 the next two games I’ll be happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HangOnSloopy Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Very worried about the Pass Rush this week. I hope Lazor is ready to be creative and keep them off balance. We need to get the ball out quick, and get the ground game going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haden will probably shadow Green, and we can't win just by going to Boyd. This isn't Baltimore, Boyd and Mixon alone won't be able to keep up with the Steelers offense. Need Ross to step up and abuse the other Steeler corners... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A FP today would be great in terms of him being fully ready. Even if he doesn't catch a single pass, he'll really open up the field for Green and Boyd. The big keys to this game though are going to be two things: 1) Can WJIII up his game and do a good job on Antonio Brown and Smith Shuster? They don't need him to shadow, but he needs to lock down his side of the field. 2) Will the Oline win enough to keep Dalton clean? Because there will be holes to exploit in this secondary. Yes, the Steelers are big brother to this team. But in situations like this, if the Bengals come out swinging and put up some early damage, that may be enough to erase the mental edge the Steelers have. The Bengals have to shake the Steelers feeling that they're better, or else they will be better. I still predict the Steelers win though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't underestimate Haden... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmittyBacall Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I'm really worried about tackling in this one. Miami converted like a 3rd and 21 on a RB dumpoff that made my blood boil last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theJ Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I think I'm over "steelers week". Really hate all the garbage out there. Steelers fans: "bengals players are dirty and cheap and I hope they die" Bengals fans: "steelers players are just head hunters and scum of the earth" Even the media gets in on it. I mean seriously, grow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
