Hbo is doing an afc north hard knocks. Makes sense when you think about that.

I think we beat then. I also think defense does enough. Maybe the team realizes we might have to become an "opportunistic" squad.

Couple matchups I'm looking forward to.

Roger vs TJ
Our DL vs their OL
Think this is a big Zay game

I'd also add our OL vs. their DL.
 
Pickens is literally OBJ. Idk what our plan for him is going to be. If he gets the Jamar Chase treatment, they'll score a bunch. Difference is Pittsburghs defense is a million times better than Cincy's and at a specific level, they've been so good a slowing down Lamar in the past.

OK. Division games?

Am I supposed to think getting to play the 2 win Browns is going to make their schedule harder? Or what about the Bengals who only have beaten 2 win teams (literally they have played 5 of the top 7 picks in the draft now and lost to one of them)? The division is simply not good this year.

I'm not judging, but he subscribes to "division games mean normal rules and thinking don't apply". And to some extent that's true. But that being said Pitt sweeps Cleveland easy and at worst splits with Cincy this year.

Believe what you want. lol
 
Highsmith had a nasty looking ankle injury in the final minutes of the game. I wouldn’t expect him to play in the game purely based on how it looked. It’s either dislocated or a really bad sprain

I would believe that Cincy can win at least one of those games. I can see Burrows out-dueling Wilson.

It would not surprise but thats just because even the bad teams can steal a win. Case in point how the Raiders and Browns have wins over the Ravens this year. The rule of "any given Sunday". However it is not fair to say they have had a softer schedule when both the Ravens and Steelers have played 4 playoff teams and the Steelers are 4-0 against them and the Ravens 3-1.

Hoping Kyle Hamilton feels well enough to play

I do not doubt that Kyle is playing. He has 10 days to rest and to heal up. Besides, he is a young cat. Youngins are durable and heal quickly!
 
Steelers usually beat us by letting us beat ourselves, that's going to be the focus this week imo. We've got twice as many guys as they do capable of splash plays, it's our recklessness that gets in the way. Penalties, ST and 3rd downs. Don't give them the advantage in those phases and we win handily.
