Steelers @ Bengals II Pregame Thread/Game Thread

I felt that the Bengals were good enough to pull off the victory in Pgh earlier this year.  I also had a horrible feeling about the December game in Cincy.  Everything (and everyone) is pointing to a Bengal loss in the Wildcard round.  I think the Bengals will pull this out.  Not sure how, but I think they come through.  Maybe it's a "McCarron Miracle".  28-17 good guys.  It's time.

Really angry still about the Houston game - this is what the result is, a play-off game vs Pitts without Dalton.

I was admonished for reacting angrily about that result but I feel I am justified in my rantings as this is THE matchup we would have paid to avoid !! It's going to take a Herculean effort with a rookie QB to overcome Pitts and not go Hawaii Five-0 in the playoff stats

Nobody is going to give the Bengals a prayer.  Hopefully they play like a team being disrespected.

The hate is going to be strong.  

We'll get a strong dose of the 2005 playoff game storyline, how Pittsburgh owns the Bengals in Cincinnati, and how the Bengals can't win in the playoffs....all week long.

I hope nobody gives them a chance and the Vegas line favors Pittsburgh.

Did I just hear Dalton could be back?

Desperate measures ??  Thought he was seeing specialist on Monday ....rushing him back early seems a reach for the stars and underlines the desperation of needing a play-off win whatever the cost

Skunk head was babbling on the pregame show about Dalton being "optimistic" he could play.

I chalk it up to talk to try and keep Pitt guessing a little. If they got the bye, maybe, but now? Nope.

Well Elton John proclaimed long ago Saturday night was alright for fighting, so I'm banking on that slot.

If Houston/KC is the early Saturday game (and I agree, I think it will be, neither team has a big national following or represents a big media market) then the night game will be an NFC game.

my bet is 1 pm Sunday.
