Bengals Steelers Predictions.

[sloucho]

Sorry, this does not relate to stupid speculation in a draft 5 months away, or saying AJ green is worse than Jerome Simpson, but I think it relevant.

Sunday:

Bengals 27 Steelers 20.

Ben 2 Tds via the Air. Dalton gets 2. Rush TD from BJE, few FGs.

Bengals 27
Steelers 24

Browns hits a game winning FG late.

Steelers 24
Bengals 20

Dalton throws a late pick that seals it. Ben will throw the game-winning TD to Heath Miller on a play that Dunlap somehow misses a sure sack.

I picked Pittsburgh in my pickem league, but of course I am all t he about the Bengals. Just not a good track record against Pittsburgh even if they are banged up.

With that said, Taylor is out, and that is big trouble for Pittsburgh with AJ Green. However, they can just double AJ, forcing someone other than AJ Green at WR to step up and make plays.

I would put Jones, Hawkins, Whalen on the field most behind Green. I think we are going to have to run the ball effectively, but I think against this partiuclar lineup of the Steelers we are goign to have to spread the field a lot more, go no huddle (not quick huddle), use multiple WR sets to force Pittsburgh to use more nickle with a depleated secondary, keep their bigger playmakers off the field. No deep passes down the field except to AJ Green to open thing up underneath a little bit from the safeties.

Safeties creep in, go deep to Green. Dalton also needs to roll out of stuff a little more and hit Gresham. Work the chains, maintain drives, keep the ball out of Ben's hands on a more frequent basis. Best defense this game will be our offense keeping our pass rushers and DB's rested longer than Pittsburgh's and the ball out of Ben's hands.

Quick slants and then when Pittsburgh starts creeping over to out position those slants, you pump fake the slant and then go deep to Green, or toss a WR screen to Jones or Hawkins.

Screens, short passes, play action, then BOOM.

I refuse to make an official score prediction on this game on the grounds I'll be labeled as a damned pessimist.

The Bengals are not winning this game. You all know this.

According to you they weren't beating the Giants, or Chiefs, or Eagles, or anyone else.

Don't fucking jinx it.

Steelers have been bad real bad,,,I hope they can break out of this funk they are in but if they don't,,,,you guys go right ahead and win the whole damned thing bring the trophy back to the AFC North where it belongs

 

[cincygrad]

Steelers 31, Bengals 20

I think Ben bounces back and the Ben/Haley controversy evaporates.

 

[DanBengalfan]

It all hinges on Ben R. If we put him on his ass, we win, if we play with all the mistakes, then we're still the Bungles.

Probably scarily accurate. I'm going with this.

We'll see what we can do about that. GO BENGALS!!!

Negatory. This game hinges on one Mr. Dalton.

I'm not sure when we've ever been able to do this.

And I'm with Kramer on this one. Definitely on Dandy not fucking up. He's been playing terribly over the last 3

 

[DanBengalfan]

Dalton is what he is, not great, not too bad.

Ben is the most volatile, the Pittsburgh offensive line has been horrible at times this season, that's what it will all come down to.

...

Then, we can play a scrimmage with Baltimore and get our a**es blown out by New England 60-0 so people can laugh at us again.

Pusburger needs to go down a # of times

Gruden needs to bring an unpredictable game plan

I'm a homer so....bengs 28 fuksticks 24

 

[cravnravn]

Sorry fellows, but we need Pittsburgh to win..

Its at Pitt, so Im sure a controversial call will be going Picksburgs way, as a matter of fact Im requesting the Vcash bookie to put up a bet on will a call effect the outcome of the game.

21-17 Picksburg

Yup. If there were ever a time to create a new reality, this is it.

Why do you need Pittsburgh to win? Maybe you guys ought to worry about finishing the season looking less like the Jets.
