Turi Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 You seem to forget that the brownies play pitt tough even when they suck, dont count out a loss to them also.I think it's fair to say all divisional rivals are tough games.

NYBengalfan Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 I do expect to win those Divisional games but they will not be easy, Baltimore has a tough D, By then Lewis will be back, and Cleveland has motivation from the rivalries, they'll play hard.We gotta get ahead early in those games!!!

jamesbrooks21 Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 14 of the 16 games are common opponents between both teams. I am really getting tired of hearing about the Bengals weak schedule. Pittsburgh gets to play Houston, Minnesota and Green Bay just like we do. The only difference is that we play KC and Buffalo while the Steelers play NE and SD.No doubt! Are people that damn dumb? 14 opponents are exactly the same. I think I'd rather play New England than at KC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get all the most difficult opponents at home, and they do not. They have to play in Green Bay, in Minnesota, and in Indianapolis. Granted, two of those teams have struggled this year, but there is no denying that we gotter the better end of this bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we have Indy coming here, but that game may not be winnable anyway. I would have rather played the Jags here or maybe the Lions later in the season, who are much tougher at home. The Bengals also had tough road games against the Bears and Titans, when Pitt. had them at home. @KC and @SD are basically a wash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalskyspy Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Frankly I am not willing to cede that the Steelers are a better team than us. The oddsmakers had this game even. Some $hit happened to us that opened the door to a Steeler advantage. If not, we would have won that game, or at least made it very close. The vaunted Steeler defense was getting run over by our offense. We shot ourselves in the foot, and the Steelers took advantage. Net, we can beat them in Pitt. It is not out of the question at all.

It is not out of the question at all.I'd agree. The only thing they have on us is experience, and maybe a bit more confidence. Two things that we can hopefully get before December comes around. There isn't a team in the NFL that will win a game against and evenly matched opponent if they are taken out of their game-plan... including the Steelers.If we took advantage of those early plays, maybe we blow them out... instead, it was the other way around, and we got beat because we played their style, not ours. They are better than us in the sense that they've been there before, so they are familiar with these big-time games. We'll get there. This year we are pretty even... next year, I'll bet we are flat out better than them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalindian Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 I think it's going to be another tough year for good AFC teams that miss out on the playoffs because the AFC>>>>NFC. Someone's gonna get screwed, and it might just be the Bengals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
