Week 12 Game Thread - Cincinnati Bengals at Pittsburgh Steelers (1 Viewer)

[Jeff Pasquino]

Let it snow.

85 got 86ed.

Please....no ties.

 

[Sweetness_34]

Yes let it snow....I am starting the Bungles D. Please sack Big Ben

 

[timschochet]

Another cold night game. Should be fun. For me, fun= Steelers crush the Bengals.

 

[Dragon1952]

Cincinnati also missing Antonio Chatman and 2 OL'men. LOL...no ties in this one, Jeff.....I think Pittsburgh rolls in this one by at least 2 TD's. Philly sacked Fitzpatrick 8 times last week. The Steelers will give him a cold ### this week too. That's my answer and I'm sticking to it.

 

[money.never.sleeps]

anyone got free stream to this game for us that dont have NFL Network? :(

 

[Ripleys]

anyone benching Ben because of weather concerns? what's the latest report from the stadium? (i don't get NFL Network) :(

 

[timschochet]

It wouldn't be a Steeler season without the annual pounding of the Bengals, usually twice.

My favorite moment in this series: from 2004, involving two college roomates. Carson Palmer throws an interception to Troy Polamalu, who runs it back towards the endzone. Only Palmer stands between Troy and the goalline, and Troy barrels into him, knocking Palmer down. Loved it!!!

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

INACTIVES:

Bengals: QB Carson Palmer (3rd), DE Eric Henderson, SS Chinedum Ndukwe, DE Antwan Odom, T Levi Jones, G Andrew Whitworth, G Scott Kooistra, WR Chad Johnson



Steelers: QB Dennis Dixon (3rd), CB Deshea Townsend, CB Bryant McFadden, CB Roy Lewis, LB Bruce Davis, T Tony Hills, T Marvel Smith, DE Orpheus Roye.

Looks very cold.

Feed for the game should be on NFL.com, or other places JUSTIN case you don't have TV. :(

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

This one COULD get ugly, but due to weather I don't think so - unless the Steelers score on defense.

Pittsburgh 24, Cincinnati 7.

Lots of run game, FWP and MMoore. Who knows who scores though - but Ward's a good bet.

TJ Housh is the leading candidate for the Bengals' TD.

Ryan Fitzpatrick will be better than expected when the pocket doesn't collapse, which should be about 50% of the time.....

 

[CrossEyed]

Gotta love LeBeau. Glad to see him get some recognition. :(

 

[money.never.sleeps]

Game time 8:30 ET?

 

[CrossEyed]

<------TJ owner in ppr league.

Hoping for lots of short dumps to TJ.

 

[sho nuff]

How can they do the whole montage of it being a tough town, and then trot out a guy from N'sync to sing the anthem?

Game time 8:30 ET?

8:15

 

[AcerFC]

anyone got free stream to this game for us that dont have NFL Network?

And preferably something without Terrell Davis talking all night about the game

 

[timschochet]

LeBeau just seems like a great down to earth guy. Could he also be the best defensive coordinator ever?

[mjohnell]

Any other sites streaming the game besides nfl.com?

What, too subtle?

[Jeff Pasquino]

Nice Braylon impersonation, Nate.

 

[McBokonon]

Well, there's our key Nate drop. Got it out of the way early.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

The last two or three games Nate Washington is starting to resemble.....Nate Washington.

At least 3-4 drops that have hit him right in the hands the last few games.

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Wow TJ is returning punts again.

A. Chatman got hurt last week and he filled in, but I'm very surprised he's doing it again this week - especially with 85 out.

 

[timschochet]

Washington drops way too many balls.

 

[DrJamesAndrews Fan]

Wonder if the STeelers D can outscore the O tonight??

 

[timschochet]

Nice Braylon impersonation, Nate.

Ouch.

 

[timschochet]

Wonder if the STeelers D can outscore the O tonight??

The Steeler offense is going to explode pretty quickly here, I predict. Perhaps tonight will be the night. Last week, Ben had 300 yards, but only three FGs to show for it. That's going to change.

 

[CrossEyed]

That's it, lots of short passes to TJ.

 

[CrossEyed]

Steelers have to find a new punter.

 

[timschochet]

Not happy with the offense so far. Not happy with the punter, either.

 

[Cecil Lammey]

How can they do the whole montage of it being a tough town, and then trot out a guy from N'sync to sing the anthem?

If that guy was in Philly they would've knocked him out cold by tossing snowballs loaded with batteries. This guy has jinxed the Stillers tonight! :shakesfist:Call this an unfair generalization if you must, but all boy bands suck.

 

[timschochet]

My fear is it will kill us in the playoffs. Tough defenses means a field position game.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Steelers have to find a new punter.

There was some speculation in the local rags that they didn't unload Ernster this week because he's also the holder. Didn't want to have to get a new one of those ready on a short week.Don't have the excuse now. May as well just bring back Berger, bad hamstrings and all.

 

[awesomeness]

He's a third string punter. Im guessing they just signed him off the street.

dig the new avatar!

I figured it's tough to go wrong with a little vintage Bloom.

Could bring back Bobby Walden and not have a drop off from Ernster.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Love that third down defense.

Could probably sign Henry David Thoreau and not have a drop off from Ernster.

 

[timschochet]

Steelers look flat here on both sides of the ball.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Here we go, third and long. Convert-O-matic.

[awesomeness]

Harvard Grad can play ball.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Glenn f-ing Holt?

They need to knock that G-D Kangaroo off his head and into next week when he gets back out there.

 

[timschochet]

Embarassing start for the Steelers. They had better shake off the rust. We cannot afford a loss in this game.

 

[money.never.sleeps]

Who was that?

Holt or Henry?

 

[Cecil Lammey]

I'm telling ya, NSync boy made our team out of sync.

why can't we get Bruce Dickinson to sing the national anthem, is that too much to ask for?

 

[McBokonon]

Gary Russell with the longest Steeler return in 42 billion years.
