Classic Stillers-Bungles game. We are coming off of a short week which gives Cincinatti a slight advantage. They have Dalton back who is a solid QB. They have the so called revenge factor so perhaps that might motivate them some. They have A.J. Green who is VERY good and will likely cause us headaches, but hasn't he always done that?
We have a solid Offense with, in my opinion MUCH more versatility and options this year than last. We focus so much on missing Leveann Bell that we forget Deangelo Williams and Toussaint. We talk about Martavius Bryant like he is the second coming when we have AB, Rogers, Wheaton Darrius Brey? etc. Jesse James is young and improving but NOT even close to Heath Miller so that is a weakness.
Ben looked really sharp Monday night and won't be rattled by Cincy.
Game might come down to kickers and Boswell is far superior to what we were forced to stomach in the early part of last year.
Hoping for a tough close Stillers win at home.
P.S. Almost, that is "almost" feel sorry for Cincy fans having to put up with constant heartbreak in the playoffs. Pittsburgh has learned how to survive during the regular season and go deep in the playoffs despite huge injuries.
I'm Pittsburgh biased, but I have to see a Cincy team that stops the head case antics and plays like a winner before I'm convinced they are serious. The "thuggery antics" are great fodder for youtube videos but sure haven't helped them in critical situations.
Heck Ring-Side Rosie did a better job on Studio wrestling than Burifect does.
