Week 7: Pittsburgh Steelers (2-3) @ Cincinnati Bengals (3-3)

  • killer_ewok
    A little late for the thread. Started a new job and haven't posted as much lately. Surprised no one on either side started one yet.

    Dwyer will be starting at RB for Pittsburgh as Redman and Mendenhall are both out. Mike Adams will make his first career start (yikes) due to Marcus Gilbert being out. Pouncey is Questionable so Legursky will be starting at C if he can't go. No Troy again.

    Both teams really need a win here. Ravens are 5-1 although I think they might come back to the pack in the AFC North due to injuries.

    How many times will Ike Taylor get penalized for holding/interfering with AJ Green? I like Ike (ha) but he has been AWFUL this year. They better get some pressure on Dalton and find a way to force a turnover or two. I'd like to see the Steeler offense pick up the pace a little this week.

    Bengals need it badly. Can't turn it over and must convert 3rd downs.

    I think there will be a good atmosphere but last time I attended a Bengals Steelers game in Cinci the crowd unfortunately was about 50/50.

    This is tough. I'm thinking Steelers by 3 but in no way am I confident in that.

    It would be nice if the Bengals Offense from the early on in the season that actually took chances & were creative would show up again. Gruden's offense has been looking like Bratkowski's the last two weeks
  • killer_ewok
    Pouncey is out tonight.

    Would be shocked if the Bengals win this one. The D line will have to play one hell of a game to win, because Wallace and Brown will be open all night.

    Is Jonathan Dwyer or Baron Batch going to have a better game? Come on Steelers fans, help me out
  • Automatik
    I'd say based on last week it will be Batch.
  • SportsAndLady
    Yeah that's who I had too...then I saw Dwyer is getting the start.

    I'm in such a close week in fantasy lol can't afford to get this wrong..
  • killer_ewok
    I think Dwyer gets more touches and yards but Batch gets some yards and a TD and ultimately gets more fantasy points.

    I hate the Steelers always playing in primetime. How about a 1:00 game on Sunday please???

    I'm going back and forth with the NLCS Game 6....

    Oh....nice hands Wallace, gotta score TD's in Cincy, especially with our cruddy defense.
  • Ironman92
    Catch the ball!!!! Easy int!

    Can't even stop the #2 RB from scoring

    WHAT DA FUCK
  • Ironman92
    This is the worst Steelers defense in 25 years.

    Bengals might score 40+

    Good to see BJGE getting good yards early... He's gonna be needed a lot w/ B-Scott & Leonard out
  • killer_ewok
    Gotta respond here. The Bengals made a statement with that drive.
  • Ironman92
    Mike Wallace is killing his team.
  • Ironman92
    What sucks so much about the Steelers sucking.....Roethlisberger has been as good as ever.
  • Crimson streak
    I hate how Ben just runs around for a while and then throws it to an open receiver lol shit pisses me off

  • Automatik
    Lot of Steeler fans in the building. That was a loud "Heathhhhhhhh" after that catch.
