How bad we get crushed sunday night?

[CrashDavisSports]

The last two weeks has completely deflated my hopes for this team. Wer had to come out of the first 6 games at 5-1, 4-2 at the worse to even have a shot at a 9-7 record, and even then, he was going to be tough I think.

So with us reeling, and falling apart...any guesses on the score?

31-14 Pittsburgh is my guess.

Big Ben got a boo-boo on his ankle in practice today.

Pouncey might not play, another starter (Gilbert) is out. Troy Polamalu also is out.

Bengals are pretty healthy coming into this game...with that in mind.

Steelers 27

Bengals 17

Bengals 31

Steelers 27

It wouldn't be Steelers week if Ben didn't have a boo-boo, would it? I would think our pass rush can get there this week. Only worry is Ben making plays out of the pocket. Got to keep his gimpy ass from getting outside the tackle box, and make him unload early, because there's no way our corners can keep up with their receivers that long.

We're supposed to split this series to make it look legitimate.

There is supposed to be an "orange out" at the stadium on Sunday. I guess that is not including the 25,000+ Steeler fans.

31-17 steelers

Steelers are still reeling from key injuries and just a complete lack of execution when needed late in games. I would say they are getting too old, but many of the problems and injuries lie with our younger players.

Bengals 20, Steelers 17

3-4 and loud screams for Marv's head begins.....

I rarely gamble anymore but this looks like easy money to me. Right now, Steelers are giving 1.5...seems like a lock. Steelers are in a must win situation and they typically respond in those situations. Bengals are in the national spotlight where they always choke. Moreover, the matchups favor the Steelers. Particularly Wallace and Heath Miller on offense. I wouldn't make too much of Ben's 'injury'. He seems to thrive on the drama. I'm sure he'll grimace for the cameras so that we know he's in pain...but he will produce. Steelers 24 / Bengals 13

the Steelers have had 1 game they have looked good in the O-line is beat all to hell,I think the play calling this year has been piss poor no this is another game they could lose,,,,anyways good luck Sunday night I just hope we get through the game without anyone else getting hurt

Can't imagine our defense holding your offense under 24 points.....

 

[Tubbs1518]

Only way that happens is if we get to Ben early and often. If he has time to throw or get out of the pocket we are toast.

 

[dare2be]

I can imagine our offense doing that for you. Self-destruction has been the theme this year. Penalties, dropped balls, and no run game due to the OL.

Nice. The Steelers sound like the Bengals on a good year now.

 

[icehole3]

if they dont come out like they did against the Redskins they will lose, so if you watch the first 30 minutes you can tell right away

 

[DanBengalfan]

I think Mendenhal(sp?) and Redman are out, right?

if so, with home field advantage we should be about even. our potential suckiness is greater, but I have a feeling we're going to split with Pittsburgh this year.

3 games Pittsburgh has been leading in the 4th quarter and blew them each of them. All 3 games were on the road.

That is the only thing that may even the scales. However, each of those games they were missing large pieces of their defense. We'll see. I'm not holding out hope.
