I bet a guy at work that if the Bengals win I will wear his Carson Palmer jersey for the day and if we win he has to wear my Bettis shirt. Now I'm really worried that he might not want to give my Bettis Jersey back.

Oh how I hope you don't have to wear that Bungles jersey. Put one of those on me and it'd probably combust immediately.

It's funny how Steelers fans now value Willie Gay, when a couple years ago they were calling for his head then shipped off to Arizona. I wonder what changed when he came back to play for us.

I remember big plays being given up by Gay in his early years with the team, but you have to admit his play right now in the last couple years is substantially better than his play in his first years with the team.

Is he an all star? No, but he's solid. He reminds me of Deshea Townsend.

And regarding the play of the secondary in the last game: I think the addition of Boykin lights a fire under Blake and Cockrell, both of which showed great effort at tightening up their game, it's just sad that it had to come to a fan base calling for a player to get time, and it had to get national attention before the coaches decided to use the tools at their disposal.

I also think when Boykin is on the field he is the best cover corner we have. Even in the few plays we've seen of him, the way he shadows a receiver/route and looks to bat down a pass just before it gets to the receiver is a thing of beauty.

I keep saying that his play improved markedly when Carnel Lake was hired as DB coach.

If we loose I'll be the one responsible for my own misery.

I've been to several steelers away games in different cities and Cincinnati fans are by far the worst..closest I've ever come to an actual fistfight was there...just a bunch of hillbilllys from Kentucky across the river..they suck

Air & Ground matchup of Week 14
Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals (Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, CBS) -- The Bengals host the Steelers in a game that promises to have major playoff implications.

As the playoff picture stands now, the Bengals own the No. 1 seed in the AFC and the Steelers are just outside of the wild-card spots due to tiebreakers. With four games remaining in the season and standing three games behind the Bengals, a run at the division title is a "Dumb and Dumber"-type deal for the Steelers. For both teams, getting a win here is vital.

In Week 8, the Bengals rallied for 16-10 win in Pittsburgh to improve to 7-0 for the first time in their history. That game also marked Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's return after missing four games with an injury.

C'mon D!, Actually it would be pretty cool if both the D and O show up for this game, like they did last week. I want to see how good that bengals team really is if we give em our A game.

I'm envious of the rest of you guys, the game is not shown on TV here in southern Cal and I may not be able to get to a sports bar tomorrow...its another smart phone game sunday

There are some Steeler fans in Kentucky. I'm one of them and we are not Hillbillys. WE ARE REDNECKS. We're a cut above! You're right though the Bengals fans are hillbillys.

Last game I went to there they threw batteries at us in the lot and they won.

How very classy. Scumbags just like their idol Burfict.

Little pregame scuffle at midfield. James Harrison in the middle of it. Wallace Gillberry in the middle of it for Bengals.

Teams were separated. Now they're back to stretching. Lasted a good minute though. Would be great if someone was miked up for NFL Films.

This game is going to get chippy

How fucking stupid of the bungles... You certainly do not want to piss off Deebo before a game.

Hope they snap burfict in half

Apparently the scuffle started with Burfict butting helmets with Vince Williams, who had sent the threatening tweet about Burfict after the Bell injury

Great start! Come on D, LET'S PLAY!!!

Tempted to start an actual gameday thread.

What kind of penalty was that? Favoring Cincy already

Bad call. Blake on the coverage!

Piss poor defense. SMH. Listen to those nasty Bunghole fans

Defense is just awful today.

DL gets a pick? How does that happen? Lol!

You Go Tuitt!!!!

Tuitt!! Haha, I didn't even see that.

Nice job Tuitt

Nice pic Tuitt!!! Make them PAY!

Now let's hope we can get some points off of that.
