Ye' old nemesis, Pittsburgh rolling into P. Brown stadium once again.

What's the feelings from the Bengals fans about this game? I could imagine being nervous as shit about this game as Pittsburgh has been playing well as of late and has playoff experience.

Any word on if Bengals fans will actually attend the game or will the sell their tickets for $100 and have half the stadium being Steelers fans like it usually is there?

I think this will be one of the better games to watch this weekend. Really could go either way and there are a lot of interesting matchups. Carson and Co. -v- Steelers secondary, Parker / Bettis -v- Cincy front seven.

Wouldn't surprise me to see whoever has the ball last win this one.

WAR - It NOT being this guy's last game.


WAR - This!

It isn't easy being Bengal fan. Although they're some of the best fans out there. I'm going with all the visitors this weekend.

Happy wildcard weekend everyone!

Steelers 24
Bengals 20

Bengals D has given up an average of 30 points the 2nd half the year. No way they can last in the playoffs with that type of play.

I already ditched my sig, but I'll offer it up again.

How many-k drunken fans in Cincy?

I'd love to see one of them try to run on the field.

Yeah, but are they yinzers?

I thought not.

Long-time Bengal fan, but haven't posted here at all on the NFL board.

This will be a very tough game, especially coming off those last two losses (WTF?). The defense is banged up a little, and that scares me. Need a huge game out of Rudy to open up the passing game like we did in Pittsburgh. The Jungle helps us by about two points, I'm going with...

Bengals 31
Steelers 29

My feeling is, we finally get back into the playoffs and we gotta play THESE fuckers again!!!! I think Pittsburgh's resurgence is a tad overplayed, most of the teams they've beaten are fairly lackluster, and the demise of Cincy is overblown as they really only lost the 1 game since nobody gave a shit for the KC game and hardly any starters played. Cowher is impressive in opening round playoff games but his overall playoff track record (given the teams he's had) isn't much to brag about, they find ways to lose games they shouldn't all the time and got lucky to beat NYJ last year.

I think the game is a true tossup that could go either way. I think in the end though the fact that our offense WILL score is the only certainty in the game which leads to a hard fought and close victory. While Big Ben has proven he can throw if he has too, the way to beat Pitt is still by making them throw instead of run and that's what Carson and Co. will do.

Cincy- 31
Pitt- 28

Come on! What are you worried about Mr. Color TV Team?

Yea, they've piled on some crap teams. But they also beat the Bengals, at some with the same lineup they will be fielding tommorow in Paul Brown Stadium. So forgive us for feeling a bit confindent.

You do realize this is an opening round playoff game?

We both know that's homerese for "WE'RE FUCKED!"

Since shutout are about as rare as Humpbacked JHawk sightings these days, you're not exactly going out on a limb predicting points from the Bengals offense.

Cincy- 31
Pitt- 28

What you meant to say was...

Steelers 28

Bengals 17

Cincy scores early and takes Pittsburgh a little bit out of it's gameplan.

Bengals hold on, 24-23.

The Bengals prominantly feature two particularly loudmouthed Beavers.

Gotta go with Pittsburg.
