Steelers vs. Bengals
This should be a good football game between teams that really hate each other. The Bengals owe the Steelers something after they took a cheap shot at Carson Palmer in the playoffs. I’m not so sure the Steelers would have made it out of the Jungle if Palmer wasn’t injured.
The Bengals are looking great on offense so far this year. Look for the Bengals to pound RB Rudi Johnson (241 yds., 3 TDs) at the interior of the Steelers’ defense. Soon as they soften them up, it will be bombs away! WRs Chad Johnson, TJ Houshmandzadeh, Chris Henry and Kelley Washington will be too much for the Steelers secondary to handle.
If Ben Roethlisberger thought last Monday was tough, wait until this week! The Bengals have a ball-hawking secondary (3 INT) and a good pass rush (7 sacks). The Steelers have to get back to running Willie Parker to set up the passing game. TE Heath Miller and WR Hines Ward must step up if the Steelers are to win this game. Ward has only 7 catches for 82 yards this season. Heath Miller had a great game against Miami, but was nowhere to be found against Jacksonville.
I like the Cats to get their revenge at Heinz Field Sunday!
Don’t worry about the Steelers. Who is to say that hit you’re talking about was a ‘cheap shot’? This is football, and without hits like this, you should look into flag football! The Steelers have beef with the Bengals and will come through.
LOL. The Bengals didn’t need to cheap shot Ben. He looks horrible and should be sitting on the bench until he’s 100%. He’s digging a hole you won’t be able to get out of.
Hey Stickler, don’t worry about this chump called ravenhater. I’ve been reading others comments for years and he’s most assuredly another one of the Bungles 75% base of fair weather fans. Raven, maybe if you stayed true to your team through the years as Stickler and the other Steeler fans, you wouldn’t need to make such an assinine statement.
I envy you guys. You at least get to see the Steelers play every week. Out here all you get are the Bears. From what I was able to see of the replay of the Bengal game it was just too many Steeler mistakes. Most were caused by the Bengals taking care of business. Got to give credit where its due. Still a long season though. I’ve been with them for 60 years so I think I can take a few more lumps. Hopefully not too many. Keep the faith.

Hate to break it to you Falconi….but I’m not a Bengals fan. I do enjoy when they whip the Steelers though.
