Steelers/Bengals - Who do you want to win?

[SpringStein]

I see Broncos fans hoping the Bengals lose. I'm not sure why.

1. If The Broncos beat the Bengals, they have a 1 1/2 game lead on Cincy. So even if we lost at Pittsburgh, we still would have the edge on Cincy if they won out.
2. I think the Chiefs will get one of the WC berths. I'd much rather see the Jets get in for the last spot than the Steelers. The Jets still have to play the Pats (in NJ) - so assuming they lose that game, having Pitt lose is another advantage.
3. If the Jets win that game vs the Pats, it could push the Pats down to the third seed which means they have to play an extra game. That is if the Begals beat the Steelers this week.

A lot riding on this game, but I'll be for the Bengals.

I don't really care which team wins. The most helpful thing would be for the two teams to beat each other to a bloody pulp.

All good points...I still want PIT to win...lol

Seriously...Steelers are much done if the Jets win and they lose and I agree...nothing against Fitz, but who would you rather face as a 6 seed? A QB that's played in 3 SBs winning two or the Ivy League grad Fitz...Fitz probably wins that contest 10 out of 10 times.

Broncos have had their way with the W lately and may not realize this, but getting swept in DIV is not a good feeling...6 yrs I think since last CIN swept PIT...this will be a good game, I like the Steelers to win this one.

if im a fan of an AFC team, I want the Steelers out of the postseason more than most any other team

A loss this week, their climb to the postseason will be a tough one, with the Jets and Chiefs most likely to win this week

I think Steelers are the most dangerous team between the two. To many weapons on offense and that D seems to play very well when needed. With Cincy, take away Green and we know what Denver`s D does vs opponent rushing game so don`t see Bernard or Hill being to scary so that leaves Dalton and Eiffort. Dalton is very capable of stinker where as Ben is very capable of Killing you. I like our chances of beating Cincy at home and not just because they are going to be extremely beat up after Pitt game. It will be brutal game for both. Every team that qualifies for post season is going to be tough in AfC. Weather and health factor will be key for all teams. If Denver is in good shape health wise........they should go all the way BABY!!!!! No excuses. We also have one of the best backups in the game at Qb..

Bengals win

Knock Pittsburgh as far down as possible

We can and will take care of business with the Bengals

I think it all comes down to how good/bad the Steelers secondary will perform. That should decide this game as usual for them. Just cant see it being like the last time they played. Should be another good one! I say the Steelers squeak it out by less than a TD?

Who wins this game is irrelevant to me. The Broncos ultimately own their own playoff destiny and if they handle their business the results of this game don't matter.

Bengals...the Steelers can go F' themselves. They broke my heart in the 70s and I have never forgiven them.
