Oh Yeah, it’s Steelers Week

Terrible Towels, 'we-dey' chants and Joey Porter. You know what I like about the Pittsburgh Steelers? Nothing.

Great read.

I'm pumped.

Take a deep breath, release slowly and relax, it is all coming back into balance now.

I’m so mad I’d like to ram Bill Cowher’s face into a car windshield, and then take his daughter, Megan Cowher (yeah, but she sure is hot) out for a nice seafood dinner and never call her again. Sorry, I’m off topic...

Needless to say, Cowher has been a Bengals killer (Benglas as an organization didn't really do anything to hold up their end of things between 93 and 03, BTW). He’s 20-9 versus the Bengals; 9-5 at home and 11-3 at Cincy (see previous note on the Bengals org). His 20 wins versus the Bengals is the most against any opponent. Speaking of which, the Bengals have not played any opponent more often than the Steelers. Overall the two teams have met 72 times with Pittsburgh leading the series 43-29, mostly dominating the games away from Cincinnati at a 24-12 clip. But the Bengals actually have a winning record of 18-17 at home.

What have the Steelers done lately? They’re 9-2 in the last 11 games against the AFC North, and 14-3 at Heinz Field overall; 3-2 against the Bengals, but only 1-2 since Marvin Lewis took over. In other words, Marvin ain’t scared to go into their house and slap them around. Marvin Lewis ain’t nervous. Coach Lewis is only 2-5 against the Steelers as the Bengal’s head coach. But he’s 13-12 on the road and 10-7 since Carson Palmer took over. Meet your new Cincinnati Bengals...road warriors. Everything you thought you could assume about the Bengals continues to change under Lewis. The team is 2-0 for the second season in a row, a first in franchise history. (Lewis is well on his way to restoring balance to this!)
