Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Cincinnati Bengals - Open Thread

Kickoff is just around the corner. The game will be televised on NFL Network. You can watch a simulcast of the game online here. Join me and other Steelers fans here throughout the game and afterwards to talk about the action as it unfolds. Hopefully our offense breaks out, our defense shuts down what's left of the depleted Bengals offense, and we emerege victorious to improve to 8-3 with a 10-day rest awaiting.
HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!

my main worry
Chris Henry giving William Gay fits. He’s a quick guy who has hurt us in the past. Meanwhile Gay, by all accounts, is a tremendously smart but athletically limited corner.

Made sense to sign him. Not getting another guy in at some point is crazy though. Sign one to your practice squad and see if he can hold first.

… bringing extra men and daring ben to make an accurate quick throw. He’s done it twice – though nate dropped one.

Crazy Legs
Holmes on the return, Ward’s stumbling in a few, Polamalu’s interception last week, and this game tonight. Our guys are used to running on the worst field in the league. It’s a benefit at times, and a hinderance at others. I say it’s time to stop the gamble. I don’t necessarily want turf but serious improvements need to be made to shore up this field through the year. The way we play this game now it’s killing us. I agree with the sentiment above. Give Russell the rock. This is Bettis territory.
