AMPHAR Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 I honestly can't wait to see how the Bengals vs. Steelers match ups land. I assume both are primetime games. Do they wait for Burfict to return? Any matchups favoring one team over the other as far as coming off bye weeks or short weeks? I think I would like to travel to Pittsburgh first maybe beginning of October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the first Bengals-Steelers clash will coincide with Burficts return and be either a late Sun game or a Mon or Thurs night football slot ....it's too much of a tempter for the TV companies to pass on it surely??

COB Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 I suspect the NFL will give the Steelers a break and schedule the first Bengals - Steelers game within the first 3 weeks. Just seems like an NFL thing to do, to let the Steelers have a crack at a Bengals team without Burfict. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJJackson Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 COB, I am gonna go the exact opposite and say the Steelers vs Bengals (either site) on Thursday night week 4, because of the attention it will get If Burfict isn't on the field, far less attention. But yeah, since God-dell is a Steelers fan, the game will be played at the Big Ketchup Bottle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted April 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 If the NFL could, they'd just make odd-numbered weeks Bengals @ Steelers and even-numbered weeks Steelers @ Bengals. And there would be racks of chains, tire irons and folding chairs at the back of each end zone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COB Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 2nd game of the year, at Pittsburgh. So the catch at the game but later, wait, not a catch call, the rescinded fine for hair pulling (no call on field), the Shazier crown hit not called but now it's a foul, and the Joey Porter baiting our guys on the field, all that wasn't enough? Now we have to go on the road during the suspension and play these dirty fucks? The NFL is basically trolling us now. Eat shit Roger Goodell.

GapControl Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Until the steelers miss the playoffs 5 years in a row or more, the NFL will glorify them and stick it to Paul Brown's Bengals until the end of time. Why the Rooneys have so much pull in the league is beyond me. Pure profit from a huge media-created fan base? I don't know.... Any one got a better theory?

I see they have one of the games during Burfict's vacation. Rooney rules the roost with the commissioner. If Rooney had his way, he would have had the Bengals opener at Pittsburgh and game 3 with Pittsburgh at Cincy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 I'd say things are situated nicely to go for 6 in a row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelers will always dominate them with attitude alone, and they can't win in primetime! Was only thinking of those issues on the margins. My main concerns are the hit the passing game takes losing Jones and Sanu, and the turnover in the secondary.I think both units are poised to take a step back -- not a big one, but just enough to make the difference between a 9-win and an 11-win season. But we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walrus Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Maybe it's just so obvious that nobody's saying it, but this is a horrible schedule. For the team, for fans, for the franchise. Goodell really, truly does hate us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMPHAR Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Bengals caught huge breaks in the schedule last season getting Seattle at home following them playing on MNF. Then KC at home following KC on Road MNF. I never buy into the knee jerk reaction about the schedule being easy or hard. Every year it seems to be the same. The NFL is a parity league and Injury and momentum are bigger factors. Primetime and Playoff games will be the biggest concerns as usual.
