Organize a police raid in their locker room before the game. The outstanding warrants should decimate their chances of fielding enough guys and they'll forfeit.

I remember like it was yesterday. I was standing on top of my toilet in disgust, slipped, hit my head, and when I came to, I saw a vision, I saw this:


The last time Cincy players could get arrested - and THIS, is what makes Super Bowl Dreams possible.

Somebody mail Vontaze Burfict a Terrible Towel, please. He seems dumb enough to take the bait.

muahahahaah - not unless you anticipate someone who barely contributes to the outcome of the game that might want to do something with it(ala Ray Rice) Maybe their kicker wants a piece of it? How about the long snapper?

Carson Pal, nevermind . . .
No wait, Chad Joh, nevermind . . .
Wait - Chris He, nevermind . . .

keys to beating Cinci ?? Not hard to figure out.....

#1 - SHOW up. Prepared. Ready to play. With attitude. This is SORELY missing, folks.

#2 - the defense has to stop the outside pass plays to the sidelines. The word throughout the NFL now is thats how you beat us and move the ball. And we haven't been able to stop it.

#3 - fumbling. It's time for the Pittsburgh Steelers to show back up permanently. I'm tired of tuning in to watch the Pittsburgh Fumblers.

#4 - in addition to the pass - the run game has to start getting going. Dwyer, Redman whomever. And the line needs to do a better job at creating holes.

#5 - can the special teams also show up?? I'm sick and tired of almost every long runback we get negated by a stupid penalty. On the other side, i'm also tired of other teams consistently getting long runbacks on us - or we commit a stupid penalty again..."giving" them a long runback. Its killing us in the battle of field position.


Can you imagine if we could do all these things. Those things above aren't out of the question, either. I don't see how we can't do all 5 of those things (#4 would likely be the hardest). And not just this week - but every week.

Agreed.
They have shown the ability to almost all of those things.

1. They showed up against the Ravens.

2. Getting the starting CBs back will help. In the meantime, remember that the 4th & 5th string CBs did well enough against the Cowboys' WRs (who are Pro-Bowlers) to win the game.

3. THIS!!!

4. They ran against the HYGiants... when the NYGiants KNEW it was coming. The Steelers O-line getting cohesion will help in this regard.

5. No penalties is ALL that I ask for. Start the drives at the 20... not the 10. Starting at the 30 would be icing on the cake.
