    Game thread: Bengals and Steelers - part deux

    Should be a good one folks.

    Expect to see lots of no-huddle offense to neutralize the Steeler defense today.

    I hope T.J. goes off like he did last week. Hopefully, the Bengals hurry-up offense can create some mismatches for the receivers.

    I really wish I could go to a bar to watch the game. Unfortunately, it's Finals time, so I will be trying to study while following the game on the internet.

    Chad forces the Steelers to trade in the Terrible Towels, for Lovable Luffas.

    Bens thumb is supposed to be very sore and it hurts to grib/throw the ball and even handing the ball off hurts. ESPN said hes supposed to play, but if it hurts to much then Maddox will come in to play.

    I don't know how effective the no huddle will be if the Bengals can't stop the run.

    Let's say the Steelers win the toss, execute a twelve play drive culminating in a touchdown that last six or seven minutes.

    Now let's say the Bengals go no huddle, and three and out.

    Not a good scenario, but one that's very real.

    They really need to clamp down on the run, not only for the sake of the defense, but it will absolutely kill their offensive strategy if they don't.

    It's all about man e mano. Snot bubbles, blood, spit, sweat, and mud. If they run, the Bengals will need to run. When they throw, they'll need the deep ball to Chad. Other than that, grind them into the grass.

    Big Ben is wearing a splint under two gloves today.

    Expect the bengals to get a few picks today. He did look good on that first pass though.

    Because I am an idiot and didn't think ahead, I'll be relying on you folks to keep me on the game while I work.

    Pick me up out there, mates.

    TD T.J.!!

    Carson goes over the top and T.J. comes down with the ball for the long TD pass.
