Sunday Morning Sermon: Final Thoughts on Steelers at Bengals Week 10

Do we fear The Jungle? Do we walk into the den of the sleeping lion, waiting anxiously for it to awake? 

No, any jungle is Our Jungle. Nothing could sleep knowing the Steelers are coming. Not with half the crowd waving our Towels. Not with a rookie quarterback under center. It's time to put this upstart threat back where it belongs. One last time before a week off, we must again prove why we are at the top of the AFC food chain. The Cup of Us Against The World has been refilled and everyone's drinking from it. Today, we put the kiddies to bed and get violent. 

Star-divide

 

  • Confidence was not shaken after an extremely difficult loss to Hated Baltimore. 
  • All that happened this week, the fines, lack of recognition, crowning our adversaries, will only serve to anger the real power in the AFC North. 
  • The Steelers defensive leader, James Farrior, returns at a perfect time. 
  • Dick Lebeau was slapped in the face all week. Andy Dalton's gonna be the one to pay for it. There's a reason, since his return in 2004, no rookie has beaten Dick Lebeau's defense in a legitimate game (Pittsburgh rests its starters when Baltimore beat it in Week 17 of 2007). 
  • Expect a tight defensive battle. You may notice a faint scent in the air...sort of smells like...a Steelers interception. A few of them. 
Who Wants It? 

Brother Ben, this is your game. You're gonna lean on your defense, but you're sick of some recent performances against this team, especially in their house. You're en fuego right now, and you know with time and patience, you can make the plays you need to make. 

Three straight games of 300+ yards, smart decisions, Antonio Brown short, Mike Wallace long and dashes of Heath Miller have cooked up some great offensive football the last few weeks. The Church sees no reason why this slows down for Brother Ben today. 

Song Of Choice

This week, the Song of Choice will not be described as if it's a bottle of wine, as one reader rightly pointed out last week. The Church doesn't drink wine, therefore, could not describe the experience of drinking it. 

Instead, we're cranking "Bleed It Out" by Linkin Park. A tremendous stand-up-and-yell song that mixes with several genres, making it one of the more popular songs of the past few years. 

Up-tempo is how The Church likes it. Shoutability. A song that even gets the Church Dog fired up. The first few simple notes are musical invitations to start yelling, like an undiscovered team introduction song. 

"here we go for the hundreth time/hand grenade pins in every line/throw 'em up and let shine/goin' out of my <bleep>ing mind."

Benediction
  • May the lendendary Coach Lebeau answer his critics the way he usually does; by completely dismantling an opposing offense. 
  • May Brother Lawrence Timmons flow to the ball and wreak havoc, whether starting inside or outside. 
  • May Brother Hines' return to the field inspire those around him, and intimidate defenses that saw him put a once-prized draft pick on the ground. 
  • May Brother James Harrison outlast the talented Andrew Whitworth in a battle of the season kind of match-up. 
  • May we ride into our late bye week with a thunderous victory.

I'm more nervous about this game than I was the Ravens game

This team is generally unknown to this point. I really hope Gay can rebound from last week. We have to win the turnover battle and force some mistakes

Gotta return to Steelers football. They’ve seen what they do. They’re not deep enough offensively to change anything up. They attack short, set up deep passes off that, and don’t run ball ball all that effectively. That’s gonna be critical considering there’s like gale-force winds at Paul Brown Stadium right now.

I think you’ll see the Steelers revert to a possession-oriented run-focused offense. Not many yards coming today, their LBs are playing very well, but maintaining possession will be the story of the game.

I typically like our chances in these kinds of games. It’ll be tough though, no doubt.

same but things are little different this time o-line is better, troy is playing

hopefully we learned our lesson from that game. If we keep the passing game short and run it we will be fine.

remember they are not running the ball to well either so this will be a fight but i think Pitt wins.

3 game stretch before the bye

I figured we would beat the Pats and Ravens and was concerned of a letdown against the Bengals.

But that was before the score said we lost the Ravens game.

No letdown this week. Steelers have the Bengals clearly in their sight.

WE WILL WIN!

yeah

I’m nervous as well. Aside from Dalton, there defense is right behind ours.

If Ben and the offense struggle it’s not looking good. We need to dominate defensively, and get at least a three td’s so that the steelers can give them a couple in the fourth quarter.

Dalton would need one hell of a bad game to question himself.

It’s just how he is. The guy makes mistakes but rather than dwell on them, he just goes right back into it and tries to rally his team. Like, each time he takes a sack, he gets up and just performs. It’s ridiculous. Despite a bad game against San Fran, Dalton never stopped trying. It’s ridiculous how much heart the guy has, and I don’t think questioning himself is in his nature.

it's not the point

and it can happen at any time. A couple years ago, the pathetic Browns sacked Ben 9 times. I think that made up like 40% of their sacks for the year.
anything can happen, at any time. All I’m saying is, until that type of game happens, you don’t really know what you have in the rookie.
Rick Mirer was AWESOME in his first year, but…he got rattled and figured out, and never recovered. ANYTHING can happen.

Yeh, yeh, I know.

But at the same time, that’s probably a worst-case scenario and I still don’t think Dalton would start to question himself or his confidence. The guy has an incredible amount of poise and doesn’t seem to be capable of being rattled. It would take scenarios of those extremities to do it, if it’s possible at all.

Yes, but not exactly often.

Again, those are some extreme conditions. It’s not happening on a weekly basis, it wouldn’t happen two weeks in a row, and I doubt I’d see similar performances in the same month, let alone within a two month time period. Players have bad games. That’s a given. But they don’t have games that bad as frequently as you’re suggesting.

Until Dalton has one that bad, we can’t know if he’d start to question himself. I don’t think he would, but that’s because of his maturity and poise. If he does, I’m fairly certain he’d rebound just as quickly anyway. I don’t get the point you’re trying to make here.

didn't say frequently

I said every qb faces it, and until they do, you don’t really know what you got.
the point is, you say he’s very poised, doesn’t get rattled, forgets the play etc…but the worst game he’s had is two int’s (3 times) and he’s never been sacked more than 3 times.
He hasn’t faced a firestorm yet. He’s in his 9th game today, how can you be so sure?

For the majority

of that time he was playing nickle, so not on the field full time. He also was asigned to blitzing and zones more often than not. The zone doesn’t lend well to int’s because the job is to stay behind the play and not allow for yards after.

I’m not saying it will change this week, I just think people like to hate on Gay a little too much. Let’s remember that Ike was burned on the play before the TD and was lucky the reciever didn’t come up with the catch.

With Taylor, it’s easy to forgive him for a mistake here and there, because he normally performs at a high level (except when it comes to taking the ball away).
I don’t hate him, but I definitely can’t say I have faith in him.
