Week 1 @ Bengals

[DuckHodges]

Gonna go out on a limb and say we shock the league and start 1-0. This team isn't as bad as it's made out to be and the Bengals are next in line for a SB hangover

[hawaiiansteeler]

I'll go the other way and say we lose to the Bengals on the road and start 0-1.

our OL does not inspire me with confidence, would love to be wrong though.

[EzraTank]

I'm with Hawaiin ... we get our asses handed to us the first week on the road, lots of sacks, confused OL and probably a pick/fumble out of Trubisky. The sky will be falling and there will be threads to fire Tomlin (okay that's probably a stretch until we hit 1-4). Our D will keep it close but tire in the later quarters and we lose 31-9 behind three Boswell FG's.

[polamalubeast]

The steelers had 2 ugly loss vs bengals last year especially the 2nd game when it was 31-3 at halftime

We will have an idea if the steelers are better or not, especially on offense....I know they won against the bills last year in week 1 but they didn't even have 60 yards on offense in the first half. ..They were lucky it was only 10-0 at halftime

[Steeler-in-west]

Agreed, our Defense will keep us in this game and alot of games. On offense we've got the receivers/TE and RB's (harris and warren), But the QB is average and the OL is worse. We didn't exactly light it up during the preseason. I don't think we get on a roll this season until our line plays better and KP get's the nod.

[86WARD]

37-13 Bungals.

[Born2Steel]

Depends more on the Bengals, I think. I think they should run, run, and run some more. Watt might kill Burrow if they come out and try to throw it a lot. If they run the ball and control the clock they win. If they rely on the passing game we stand a chance. A good chance actually.

[Mojouw]

Bengals by a couple of scores.

[DesertSteel]

TJ Watt breaks Burrow's collarbone and the Steelers go on to win 27-23.

[polamalubeast]

I expect the steelers to be very competitive in this game

[polamalubeast]

Interesting that Zack Taylor already has the same number of wins at home against the steelers in 3 games that Marvin Lewis had in 18 games!

[HollywoodSteel]

TJ Watt breaks Burrow's collarbone and the Steelers go on to win 27-23.

And Bengals fans will forever call Watt a dirty player no matter how it happens.

Cincinnati media is having a hella good time talking about Trubisky starting. Would love to see it blow up in their faces.

[DuckHodges]

that's not good, and we just cut Haeg, we got any capable backups?

[Rotorhead]

Have to have capable starters before we can have capable backups lol

[El-Gonzo Jackson]

Jesse Davis is the next man up. Leglue from the practice Squad had played OT in college at Tulane.

Great news!

[86WARD]

There have been players that have been limited in practice for two days and then had a full practice and did NOT play on Sunday. Hopefully he’s doesn’t fall into that very small group.

But they are not on the injury report...not even listed as questionnable or thing like that

[Born2Steel]

This is why 'Game Time Decision' exists.

It’s happened in the past. Michael Thomas was one of them. It doesn’t happen often but it’s happened several times. I just hear a bit on the radio today about it.

Have we all forgotten that we beat the heavily favored Bills last year ? And they were an arguably better team than the Bengals this year.

true but this is very rare that a team can win against a very good team on the road with only 58 offensive yards or something like that in the first half like last year.They were lucky that it was only 10-0 at halftime!

But yeah I wouldn't be surprised if the steelers have a lot more emotion than the bengals after our 2 blowout losses last year against them... Also Burrow missed a good part of the training camp, so the steelers have a real chance to win ,if our o-line gives Trubisky and Harris a chance, our pass rush is great and they aren't horrible against the run!

That will just add to his legend!
