Pregame Open Thread: Pittsburgh Steelers At Cincinnati Bengals
by Josh Kirkendall on Nov 8, 2010 4:26 PM EST
Email
PrintThe Bengals will be taking the field within a few hours, taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers in a much anticipated Monday Night Football meeting. Cincinnati is looking at turning around their season against a heated rival and the Steelers are looking rebound after last week's loss to the New Orleans Saints and keep pace with the Baltimore Ravens, who soundly beat the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
What are you expecting to see happen? Are you going to the game? Are you at the game tailgating, observing your never-ending need to always connect to Cincy Jungle from the phone?
This is the pregame open thread, so let's talk about the upcoming Bengals victory tonight. We'll post the first half open thread at 8pm tonight.

i'd actually be able to enjoy the rest of this season
regardless of the final standing
"wherever Brad St. Louis is and Shayne Graham is about to be." -R.F. Mehl
I, for one, am stoked
I have a frozen Gold Star 3-way in the freezer that I have been saving for weeks (I go to school away from Cincy) just for tonight! Wore my jersey all day!
WHO DEY!
Palmer jersey has been donned.
I think the only depressing part about this is I have class at 7:00 tonight and it goes until 9:30.
Though I can take my computer to class, but I’d need a stream. :\
I don't they do..
But if worst comes to worst you can go to Justin.tv I have never been there nor do I condone the use of pirated video feeds. ;)

I heavily considered it.
I’m usually “the good one.”
Going to the bar with Squeeler fans and watching my team the one time they’re on MNF over going to art class (it is for my major). Huh…
Well then, good choice!
They need to make it worth it, eh? I hope, I have all my fingers and toes crossed..
Wow Josh, you're really going all out with the hype for this game.
Not that I’m complaining, though I think you need some Ryan Parker up.
Also, “Welcome to the Jungle” is obligatory, maybe Eye of the Tiger if you’re feeling cheesy, etc. And if it works and the Bengals win, Mike Brown should hire you as the guy who personally pumps the players up before each game.
So, what jersey should The Salad sport tonight?
I’m thinking Shipley.
Other options include Benson, Palmer, Maualuga, and another few that I can’t think of at the moment.

I think I'll go with Shipley or Maualuga.
Which one should I pick, CJ?

And I will proudly sport my Rey jersey tonite. In hopes of him having a “breakout game”.

good call, maybe he'll get revenge on Hines for his former college teamate
Moisture is the essense of wetness, and wetness is the essense of beauty.
If you're a believer in the superstition that wearing a player's jersey will improve their performance, wear Maualuga's
If you feel like being badass, roll with Shipley’s.
If we win tonight, my Maualuga jersey comes out tomorrow and my Corey Dillon one appears Wednesday.
I have a beat-up Kenny Anderson
I might wear it if it’s not too dusty.

While in my closet to get the Maualuga jersey, I found that my most unique jersey is actually not Shipley's.
I have a Bernard Scott jersey that I forgot about, but if I wore it I’d feel too much like Bengals Life.

Been over on the Steelers' blog.
They have a poll up on their game thread. They don’t think it’ll be close. In fact, it’s a good split between 4-10 points and 10+ point squeeler victory. So let’s blow ’em out.
Look For Heads To Roll
If the Bengals lay a egg on prime time tonight,and dont be surprised if its Marvin Lewis,also for everyyyoneee to know,Mike Zimmer will NOT be coaching this team next year,I repeat NOT be coaching,the Bengals have had their share of “cordinators gone bad”,a name has already been swirling in the inner circles who it is,and you get to hear him tonight on MNF,he has told many many people he thinks it would be his “dream job”,and he played at the University Of Dayton,and is regarded as one the best QB coaches in the NFL,he can come in here straiten Carson Palmers mechanics,bring a firey attitude to the team and has playoff team history,Ladies And Gentlemen,I Introduce To You,The New 2011 Coach Of The Cincinnati Bengals… Jon David Gruden
If we get blasted tonight, it might be better to fire Marvin and bring in Gruden now.
I just hope Gruden is willing to work with Mike Brown as the owner. I doubt it, but it would be sweet.
Win a ring without the king! Cavs=2011 champs?
No Way
With the salary he would command, with the stipulations he would have (all control or his personnel people), with the options available to him, and even with a labotomy – Jon Gruden will not be coaching the Bengals ever…….although I would love for it to happen
lol-my sentiments exactly
but you can still dream
When you chart (the plays) and see where it broke down there was no common theme to it. Bob Bratkowski
Not So Fast My Friend
the salary will be alot higher than he makes as a analyst on MNF,and he has told many that he is interested in this job,Im telling you now people,this roster is going to roll over next year,this was a all in year and,well it didnt get it done,you can ask joe reedy and he’ll tell you at this point for next year,you got to consider starting all over,and why not,its not getting done on BOTH sides of the ball,and if your gonna bring someone in here knowing that,your gonna have to pay a little extra for quality,so to say no way,hardly,both sides want it to happen,it will happen,Jon Gruden is exactly what this team needs,everyone keeps saying Mike Brown,well,Mike has showed hes changed in the last couple years,and lets face it,coaches and owners dont play on the fields,its all about putting the right people in the right places,so lets get behind Jon Gruden,hes had alot a good mentors,namely one thats changing the ways the Browns are doing things now,so never say “no way”,cause thats the problem now,we gotta find a way to get this team back in the right direction,before its too late.
couple of questions
(1) who specifically has Gruden told he’s interested in the bengals job, or where did you read this
(2) what has Mike Brown done to show “he’s changed in the last couple years”
I’m all for the positive outlook you have on this Gruden thing, and if “we” really were the ones finding a way to get back in the right direction things might be different. But unfortunately “we” are the Brown family.
I dunno, he's not been doing things flawlessly.
But when the OLine had issues, an OLinemen was drafted outright in 2009 and the offense was geared more towards the run to protect Palmer.
When it became sorely obvious we needed a TE, we drafted Gresham.
When it became sorely obvious we needed receivers, we signed Bryant (half-and-half, A for the effort, E for the lack of scouting or information about his knee), drafted Shipley and Briscoe, and then signed T.O. later when Bryant wasn’t going to work out.
We kept Zim.
We drafted two DLinemen.
The moves have very obviously been there. Is he 100% competent? No, there’s a lot of gogdamn issues and some player problems and the round peg in square hole issue. Bratkowski is still coaching here after all. But when it comes to getting the right kind of personnel, he at least makes a modest effort.
But that doesn’t change the fact that he’s cheap and still screws up as often as he pulls things off, if not more. I still attribute the lack of a true FB to him, I still attribute all the TEs-and-LBs-as-FBs to him, I still attribute Bryant’s failure to him because he doesn’t hire scouts, etc. He’s far from perfect and still far from competent, but effort is surprisingly something he’s willing to put forward. I just wish it was more.
if we lay an egg on offense tonight
ok, when we..

You better believe it!
Now this is crazy talk and I know it, but if the Bengals win their next two games, and the Steelers lose to NE next week, the Bengals will be one game out of the 6th seed.
Crazy, but w/ the way things have gone this year, good enough of a chance for me. TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS TONIGHT AND KEEP THE SLIM DREAM ALIVE!
How will Chris Carpenter explain this to his children?
They need to wear those damn Slim stickers on their helmets every day of the year.
And should have Slim posters around the stadium. The rookies wouldn’t know him but everyone else would and it might actually give them some motivation.
You know, it's funny. As I wrote it I didn't even realize the Slim reference.
Then when I read it before I hit submit I realized what I’d done and thought: damn, that’s kinda cool how that worked out.

I just watched the video flashback to last year's second game against Pittsburgh
and now I’m completely stoked!

Beating the Steelers would get some momentum going.
We’ll need it; we’ve got the Colts next week!
I’m fully on board with the “not giving up” crew now. It’s going to be a long road, but we need to take it one game at a time. We can still finish this year off!
Win a ring without the king! Cavs=2011 champs?
I'm just eating up hype and hoping for wins at the moment.
The rest of the season will play out as it will, but I just want to see that L streak finally end on our front page. I want to see them play with some heart and determination like the last quarter for the Vikings yesterday. I want to see these guys realize these are the Steelers and for them to play them even better than they played the Ravens (if I see Benson get twenty carries, I’ll be pissed).
nothing wrong with being an optimist, is there

I went with Shipley tonight.
I honestly have no idea what I’m expecting tonight. I guess “Look better then Dallas did last night” is my general hope.
Quick question
Where’s Hudepohl Dey? I figured he would be prolific this week, what with his penchant for coming over to BTSC and talking football with us fairly regularly.

I dunno, the guy's been rather inactive as of recent.
I didn’t realize he was gone, but now that you mention it, the sudden fact of his vanishing has dawned on me…
Odd that...
I like talking to him, and usually only read his posts (and ones that are about the Steelers, of course) when I’m lurking over here.

One of two outcomes needs to happen
1) We beat the Steelers
2) We get destroyed by the Steelers
If we lose a close one, we lose to the Steelers… and…. Mike Brown sees less of a need to hire good coaching. Either we win or Mike Brown needs to get embarrassed on Monday Night Football.

RE:
"There’s nothing wrong with the design of his offense; it’s a beautifully-designed offense," Jaworski said. "I think Bratkowski knows what he’s doing. He knows how to attack. It’s just the execution."
I actually agree on the execution part. But, all crazy minion talk of Brat aside, it’s just a worn out offense, outdated and uncreative. I agree with Walker’s point that maybe it’s time to blow this thing up now.

We managed it four times last year.
Hell, I think that was Peko’s sole sack if I remember right…
Hell, the Browns got eight on him last year on Monday night, we can do it.
Dunlap will get a sack early
I thought he got more pressure in half a game than Geathers has the whole year
Hot damn, I will party if that's the case.
It’s time that kid gets him a taste of some Rapist Burger.
Just, y’know, not the mini one.

found it interesting Frostee wasnt on the inactives when thats why they brought McDonald off the PS.
Steve Young on Carson Palmer
“This team has worn him out” Had a go at the offensive coaching and the Ownership for not getting a proper cast around him.
He's a player and a QB and knows what it's like to have the higher-ups put a team around him
I mean, Chris Johnson, Randy Moss, Kenny Britt if you wanna go that far.
I have no clue why he;s on this team.
Caldwell is total shit right now and Simpson can’t even beat him out for a spot. It would be one thing if Caldwell was active over him and was a contributor on ST, but I’m not sure he even plays ST.

I'm still on the replacer of Chad in 2011 bandwagon
One time I saw him on the field Carson threw him a go this year, right spot, good placement, would have hit him in stride but for a good defensive play.
If Chad’s still here next year, then I mean I have no justification. Coming into this year Chad had earned the job in 2010 and his paycheck. Heading to 2011 if they think they have even a semi-viable replacement have to cut bait cuz Chad’s been awfully inconsistent.

This is what I'm saying.
I’m not expecting him to dominate because Chad is already at his position. It’s hard for him to get in a lot.
All I’m saying is that he’s had some time and can’t even get on the active list consistently. That’s pretty bad for a second rounder.
Win a ring without the king! Cavs=2011 champs?
Oh yeah, I get that.
But my rationale as I explained in a different thread:
Drafted in 08, practiced to replace Chad in 09. Didn’t happen.
Practiced in 09 to replace Chad in 2010, didn’t happen b/c of good season for team
Practicing in 2010 to replace Chad in 2011.
Faintest of faint hopes.

Never a better time to start than now.
I mean, they’ll likely double-cover T.O. over Chad so he’ll have more room to break free.
Honestly, I wanna see the guy still prove his worth, I like his character and good-natured personality, just wish he was still a good player to go along with it. At least Ray Lewis puts the effort in on the field.
It's cool...
Ship will pick up that ball and run with it, so to speak.

I'd be cool with it as long as they have a true #1 to go along with him.
At this point, I doubt it’s Jerome, if you’ve got the makings of a true #1 and can’t beat out a #4 guy at best, you got problems.
they'll have a likely high draft selection next year...

RE:
Totally disagree. One of the biggest changes this year is that the team is passing a lot more. And look at it. We’re not winning time of possession, which is wearing down the defense.

Yeh, but our Running Game last year is a lot more productive than this year.
I’d be okay if they could use it to a respectable degree to win the TOP battle but it’s not as good as last year’s already and this is the #1 rush defense in the NFL we’re facing.
It’s kind of a pick your poison scenario.

I never said we didn't need one.
Just that I feel like we’re doing Ced a shame here as it is because we’re not providing him the scheme or personnel to excel and I don’t see that changing as long as Palmer is our QB, so I see him leaving by some series of event or another. We’ll then replace him with Peerman, Leonard, or some other short yardage back, but we’ll have one.

Pump music a go go baby
Reasons why the Bengals win
- Bengals had their number last year, and hopefully using the same 2009 formula that got them winning, they use it again.
- Bengals will play with emotion because it’s Monday Night AND it’s against the Steelers.

Welp, as far as they know, the only notable one is Antwan Odom

Anyone know where to find a list of the hall of fame running backs with the least yards?
