MNF: Steelers at Bengals

[VectorPrime]

So, who do we want to win? The obvious choice is the Bengals since it would be great for the Steelers to go down a game, but then would they be more desperate for a win next week against us? Is it a bad thing if they are desperate?

This can also serve as a discussion thread for the game.

I hope for a very physical game given that the Steelers will have one less day to get treatment, etc, etc...

100% behind the Bengals--every loss for the Steelers is a win for us, because along with INDY they are the most top dog team that we ultimately will have to deal with at season's end.

Interesting question. Emotion aside, it would ake sense to root for the Bengals. But, I agree, a Steeler loss would make them really dangerous next week, not that they're not dangerous enough.

 

[Water Boy]

I'll be shocked by anything other than a thorough drubbing by the Steelers.

So, since the Patriots lost to the Browns, wouldn't they be even more dangerous next week?

 

[D-Money]

I want the steelers to win.I dont wanna face them going into a two game losing streak.

 

[Nikolai]

I want the Steelers to lose. That's the obvious choice. The Pats lost to the Fredos. I don't think we have to worry about the Pats being up for this game.

exactly what was on my mind all afternoon as I listened to the onslaught of the crazed cubicle dweebs on EEI....a real smashmouth, week in the whirlpool type game....if BB can get these guys focused this week, they could beat a banged up Steeler squad to the punch. The one thing I don't think the Pats can do,especially with the Steelers, is play undisciplined on running plays. They MUST set the edge and plug the gaps like it's being coached or they'll get beat...I think it's that simple.

Perhaps, but on the road and they didn't lose with the world watching on MNF.

Well, no way I'm rooting for the Steelers tonight. Pats lost to Mangini and an allegedly much lesser team; they'll be fired up either way.

 

[Nikolai]

Well, there you go. The rout is on?

 

[Deus Irae]

Great start for the Bengals. Should Lewis start packing now?

 

[D-Money]

Marvin Lewis is another coach that will probably be fired at the end of the season.

 

[MossWelkowski]

Man... I don't feel good about next week guys... The steelers just are bigger and better than the patriots.. Its gonna take at least 3 TOs and perfect play by brady to win IMO

I'm already nervous

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Well tonight should clinch possibly the worst NFL weekend of the year.

 

[Nikolai]

That's still Week 2 for me.

Lost to the Jest.
Phins won.
Colts won.
Steelers won.

LKate to the party. I was pondering the same thing. Ultimately a loss tonight would be good down the road, but a must win additude sun would suck.

Agreed. By the time the Raiders game rolled around I was dazed and wandering around my apartment muttering incoherently to myself while my girlfriend wisely hid in the bedroom watching girlfriend television stuff.

Go Bengals!
