Party Like It's 1991

Steelers vs. Bengals. They've already played twice this season. But today's winner goes on to the AFC Divisinal Playoff round, so it means a little bit more. It's gonna be tough for the Cincinnati to do it as they've played poorly the last few weeks and Pittsburgh has been very very good in that time. Also, add in the wide margin between the playoff experience and that's another reason the Bengals are underdogs in their own house. But, you know what? I still think that Marvin Lewis's team can win today. Sure, most indicators on paper favor the Black and Gold. But, if they can get a few hits on Ben Roethlisberger, maybe knock him out of the game and force one of those crappy backups in the game. Or, even better, get Ben to play hurt. He has a history of playing poorly if you knock him around just enough to aggrevate some nagging injuries. Also, when this defense doesn't create turnovers, they are awful. So, getting a pick or two would really help.

"Damn, Schneider. What won't you say?"
