Who do we root for this week?

I'm anticipating a win against St. Louis, and we obviously want the Browns to lose, but I can't get myself to root for The Ravens to beat the Bengals even though it would work out better for us in the standings.

The Bengals will stumble at somepoint so that's not a problem.
I love to see Johnny stew in his own anger. I think he's the only coach to get pissed when the call goes in his favor.

I picked the Bengals in my straight up pool lol

I'm going to root for the Ravens. I think, overall, the Bengals are the bigger threat to a division crown than the Ravens.

The way I see it, either the Bengals lose, which will prevent them from getting too far ahead in the standings, or the Ravens start the season 0-3. Either way, Steelers fans win.

Yes this is win-win for us with the Bengals 2-0 and the Ravens 0-2.

Rooting for Bengals

Fuck the Ravens!!!

Go Ginger!!!

It may be early in the season but if this were week 15 we would be thinking much more strategically. If a Ravens win can put us into a tie for the division lead Ill go with it.

There's been a "round robin" scenario in the AFC North recently. The Steelers struggle with the Ravens. The Ravens struggle with the Bengals. The Bengals struggle with the Steelers. For this reason, I'd rather the Bengals beat the Ravens again because I'm more confident in the Steelers handling the Bengals than I am in the Steelers handling the Ravens. Besides, an 0-3 start is very difficult for any team to overcome, and it's about time for the Ravens to have some misfortune for a change.

This is how I feel, too. I hope the Ravens beat the Bengals, then the Steelers trounce the Ravens and send them to 1-3. I won't shed a tear if the Bengals do win, though.

I want the magpies to win but rooting is the wrong term.

if cincy wins this week and we win next week that puts the rats at 0-4

go bengals

I'M ROOTING FOR A METEOR STRIKE

At what point will the term undefeated bengles begin to bother you?

When Dalton looks like a QB that can win in the POs.

Bengals.

I'd rather see the Ravens get buried early.

The Bungles will take care of things for us later in the season....on their own.

Probably but you never know, currently being a game behind them in the loss column id rather see them lose. Thats just my logic.

I'll slightly favor whoever is the underdog (Raven's in this case)


let's just take care of business on Sunday ourselves. I won't rest easy until I see this team beating teams its supposed to.

I don't mind either way! I think I would like to see the rats sneak by the bungholes just to bring them back down to earth. I just know it would be insanely nice to go undefeated in the division, possible? Asking much?

I actually like the Ravens And I think the Bengals are a far bigger threat than the Ravens so an easy choice for me.

Ravens falling to 0-3 sounds good to me.

Browns are a team to keep an eye on.

I think Baltimore is toast this year.
Too many personnel losses and no spark.

Cincinnati is going to be a contender and if Manziel is for real, I think Cleveland will be lurking close by.

As for "who to root for", I don't get all caught up in that since I have absolutely no control over any of this.
We just need to keep scoring and keep winning until they tell us to stop playing and to hell with everyone else!

The lesser of 2 evils is the Bengals. I hate the Ravens because of their d-bag of a coach.
The Bengals will screw up at some point and time so there's no need to worry.
The Browns are who we thought they were :)

The only team standing in the Steelers way is themselves.
The black and gold boys should have won week 1 but alas it didn't happen.
They then went and trounced a team they were supposed to trounce in the 49ers, and Sunday they should put up another 40 burger now that we have Bell back. Mind you I keep hearing that the Rams dline is pretty good. So who knows lol
