Join us here as we talk about the game, live as it happens! Help us cheer on the STEELERS as they take on the hated divisional rival Bengals at Heinz Field! Now that the Steelers have taken control of the AFC North they need to keep the momentum going. They can ill afford a lapse in concentration this Sunday afternoon.

wire: nfl ticker http://ne8.org/13t

Bengals (2-10) at Steelers (9-3)
Sunday, 1 p.m.
Line: Steelers by 9

mike tainer: "The Steelers, who beat the Bengals, 27-21, earlier in the season, open up a 24-point lead to start this game. An uncalled helmet-to-helmet hit knocks both of Ben Roethlisberger’s eyes to the same side of his face, but team doctors insist he is fine, and Roethlisberger plays the rest of the game in profile, like a flounder. The Bengals roar back to tie the game, but in a critical fourth-and-4 sequence, the new Steelers punter Jeremy Kapinos shouts “Boo!” and the entire Bengals roster jumps offside. The Steelers win, and the N.F.L. issues $250,000 in fines, half of them to James Harrison, who spent the entire game cuddling a bunny. Pick: Steelers".

[airbrake 1]

just looked at the weather for tomorrow 100% chance of snow showers...there's nothing better than watching the steelers with the snow falling...i remember the jacksonville game a few years ago right at before kickoff it started to snow so hard you couldn't see out of the stadium but it only lasted about 10 minutes...we can only hope for something like that again but this time hopefully it will last the entire game:tt02:

[pimplydan]

my favorite steeler moment in the snow was a td by none other than Jerome Bettis.The image that remains in my mind is the bus steam rolling over Brian Urlacher on his way to paydirt.Priceless!!!

[airbrake 1]

Alcohol is served in the burgh...hooray...gotta get rid of this 11o'clock law

[steel-tex]

I hope our guys don't take this game lightly-the bengals want to win a game and this one would help there egos. hope we run Redman some today - he has fresh legs and with the weather being crappy hope B.A. will call the right gameplan. He runs every first down - needs to play action to wallace early on first and throw some short passes early mixing in the run. Mr predictable. Wake up Tomlin - B.A. is the weak link !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nuclearchihuahuas]

Crap! Directv is out right now--any one got a link?

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Gotta have this win, losing this one wipes out all the hard work you put into last Sunday night.

[steel-tex]

Yep - take care of the dynamic dumbo-z (ocho@To) they run there mouths way to much...

[SteelerSteve]

This one's usually pretty reliable.

Damn, I shoulda checked here first....Took me about an hour to find this one on my own lol.

[Steelers_All_Day_43]

I feel great about today. Like there is a blowout coming

[pimplydan]

I feel confident too.Cannot help it you get nervous just the same because we've seen many thing happen.:helmet::helmet:
STEELERS 27 BENGALS 10

[nuclearchihuahuas]

This one's usually pretty reliable.

http://atdhe.net/30548/watch-cincinnati-bengals-vs-pittsburgh-steelers

thanks!

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Let's do this!! 10 minutes till kickoff!

[coach]

I feel great about today. Like there is a blowout coming

I would love to be right there with you but don't forget that Goodell Catsro won't stop putting pressure on the Zebras until a player gets suspended to bolster his "we are trying to protect the players" image. This player will likely be a Steeler. Between now and then, the flags only fly in one direction so let's see if the flags impact the outcome of today's game.

Hopefully you are right.

[nuclearchihuahuas]

Woo Hoo, my satellite's back! Just in time! That has got to be a good sign!

[nuclearchihuahuas]

Here we go Steelers, Here we go!

[BlitzburghRockCity]

OK Here we go!!! :woot:

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Not all the pomp and circumstanced as last Sunday night but still a must win!!

[BlitzburghRockCity]

We win the toss, will defer

[nuclearchihuahuas]

Wow--hat is some heavy rain--the field is going to really be swampy

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

video stream: http://www.firstrow.net/watch/41477/2/watch-cincinnati-bengals-vs-pittsburgh-steelers.html we are bad.

[nuclearchihuahuas]

go sushi!

[coach]

Win toss and defer its a great start. Let's go D!

[SteelDad]

Greetings Nation! Beautiful day for football in the 'burgh!!

[BlitzburghRockCity]

OK defense, set the tone!

[nuclearchihuahuas]

what the hell? Taylor just stood there

[SteelDad]

Troy looks active!!

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Troy making his presence known already!

[DanRooney]

Damnit Woodley...

[SteelDad]

Damn it!!

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Comon Wood..WTF!!

[nuclearchihuahuas]

cmon woodley

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

hey we don't need no stinkin penalties this early

[nuclearchihuahuas]

I call B.S!! that should have been a fumble

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Fumble, but ruled down..ugh

[Farrior Fan]

my favorite steeler moment in the snow was a td by none other than Jerome Bettis.The image that remains in my mind is the bus steam rolling over Brian Urlacher on his way to paydirt.Priceless!!!

amen, that was great

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

that was our ball

[DanRooney]

Woodley tosses him 4 yards forward for the first down.

[nuclearchihuahuas]

C'mon defense! Get fired up!!

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

hey d fence wake up lol

[HUNT4SEVEN]

Man i can't wait to see what Butler can do

[Farrior Fan]

keep on running cincy

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Comon defense, step up!!!

[nuclearchihuahuas]

seriously?

[Farrior Fan]

is butler in? YEAH!

[SteelDad]

WHY is Timmons on TO???

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

twice u fag refs

[HUNT4SEVEN]

That was a fumble

[nuclearchihuahuas]

keep on running cincy

I hope they run all day too

[Farrior Fan]

just watch, Butler will be awesome

[nuclearchihuahuas]

flag of course...any one else think these refs are as bad as the last 5 officiating crews?

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Are you ****in kidding me!!

[Farrior Fan]

Ike you can take ocho easily, quit holding his azz

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

geezuss kee ryst taylor

[Steelers_All_Day_43]

Damn.

[DanRooney]

Absolutely disgusting. Blame Woodley for the 7.

[nuclearchihuahuas]

that was ridiculous! I am wholly disappointed in our D

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Thank you Ike and thank you Wood for those penalties on that drive!!!

[SteelDad]

Nice start boys.... JC that's embarrassing.

[Farrior Fan]

I'm a little scared, come on Ben lets get 7

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

fuk why dont we just go back in the locker room and start over. assholes

[nuclearchihuahuas]

the penalties gave them that TD

[SteelDad]

Offense better have it going today....

[HUNT4SEVEN]

I see we have to play the Refs and Bungels again:cursin:

[Farrior Fan]

Woodley has been a huge dissapointment this year to the casual fan. BUT he is being held just like 92 almost every play. WE MUST STEP IT UP to win. The Bungles entire season is on this game. A 1 pt win is good enough for me.

[BlitzburghRockCity]

That whole series was terrible.. time to wake up and play now shall we!!!

[HUNT4SEVEN]

the penalties gave them that TD

U mean the Phantom penalties off side on Woodley was Bs and that so called PI call on Ike was BS also

[Steelers_All_Day_43]

Where is the pass rush

[coach]

I think that flag was a penalty but I have seen that not called. I hope if they call that they do it both ways.

[SteelDad]

Alright Darth Roethlisberger, let's see what you got today!

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

there two fumbles there. shit

[Troyisabeast_43]

This is what happens sometimes when you defer the stupid kickoff when you win the toss take the damn ball and score early against this team...The Steelers have given Cincy a whole lot of life by giving them the ball first and it came back to bite them...

[nuclearchihuahuas]

U mean the Phantom penalties off side on Woodley was Bs and that so called PI call on Ike was BS also

Yep! That's exactly what I mean. How about those fumbles being called down by contact almost before they happened? It seems like the ball comes out and the whistle blows immediately--so quickly I find it difficult to believe it wasn't pre-ordained that any Cinci mistake is going to be whistled dead.

[SteelDad]

I think that flag was a penalty but I have seen that not called. I hope if they call that they do it both ways.

Gotta be a no-call there. They were hand-fighting the whole time and besides, was the damn thing catchable?

[nuclearchihuahuas]

good tough run mendy--of course they mark him short

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Gotta have this first down..comon!!!

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Hell yeah Ben! 1st down!

[nuclearchihuahuas]

way to go BEN!

[SteelDad]

I love it! Way to stick your nose in there!

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Wow was that vintage Ben or what!!!

[nuclearchihuahuas]

WOW!!! That should get the crowd started!

[SteelDad]

Holy Schnikees!

[Steelers_All_Day_43]

BEN!!!!!

[Farrior Fan]

ben magic $%^#$^ love it!

[coach]

That play had less than no chance......awesome.

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

i hate the ravens, but, damn i really hate the fn bengals more

[SteelDad]

It would help to establish the run before trying that crap bruce!

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Memo with a big run for a 1st down

[Farrior Fan]

memo....nice run

[nuclearchihuahuas]

Moore! wasn't sure he held onto the ball...WHEW

[Big T]

James Harrison was being sexually assaulted on that PI call. Bullshit.

[Zachintosh66]

Ben makes miracles happen

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Ben had Hines on the run and just overshot him...damn!!

[nuclearchihuahuas]

the line isn't holding off the pass rush very well at all

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

wtf was that

[SteelDad]

James Harrison was being sexually assaulted on that PI call. Bullshit.

Agreed.

[DanRooney]

sack was on Ben or the WRs.

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Line giving up way too much already, Ben with pressure in his face

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

damn damn

[nuclearchihuahuas]

wow the o-line sucks

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Where the hell is the protection for Ben!!!

[SteelDad]

Well the O-line looks about right. Hey bruce, how about a draw or a screen pass to slow these idiots down?

[Farrior Fan]

if that #$%' er isnt suspended I am going to kill Goodell

[coach]

I missed it. Was it a sucker punch in the nose?

[nuclearchihuahuas]

if that #$%' er isnt suspended I am going to kill Goodell

sorry, which #$%' is that?

[DanRooney]

That was the biggest hold I've ever seen.

[nuclearchihuahuas]

I missed it. Was it a sucker punch in the nose?

I missed that too

[HUNT4SEVEN]

Yo that was Bens fault he has to remember we only needed 4 yards, stop trying to get a touch down every drive Ben:cursin:

[DanRooney]

That was the second biggest hold I've ever seen.

[SteelDad]

Apparently holding will not be called today.

[nuclearchihuahuas]

damn, Woodley, Timmons, and Harrison are all going to get fined

[Farrior Fan]

sorry, which #$%' is that?

the guy stepping on bens face

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Comon secondary, get your heads out of your asses

[nuclearchihuahuas]

the defense is flat

[Farrior Fan]

damn, Woodley, Timmons, and Harrison are all going to get fined

yeah but palmer i8s now scared to death

[nuclearchihuahuas]

looks like Taylor hurt himself

[Troyisabeast_43]

This game has started about as horrible as you could have imagined...Steelers better wake the **** up here and realize the Bengals came to play today and arent conceeding this game to them...

[Farrior Fan]

if Ike is out we will lose to the Panthers

[SteelDad]

WHat was the penalty called there?

[nuclearchihuahuas]

yeah but palmer i8s now scared to death

I hope he thinks about his knees every time he goes back to pass!

[HUNT4SEVEN]

Imma have to stop watching football this sh&! is getting ridiculous:cursin:

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Ike down after that knee to the head...he's gotta come back... our secondary is bad enough as it is.

[SteelDad]

Imma have to stop watching football this sh&! is getting ridiculous:cursin:

C'mon SIX, this is "Steeler Football 2010.'

[nuclearchihuahuas]

flag against the bungals!

[BlitzburghRockCity]

There was a penalty against Cincy after all that... what a novelty!!

[nuclearchihuahuas]

troy really went for it!

[nuclearchihuahuas]

he got no where

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Thank you defense..now comon O, move it!

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Ben does not like that shield at all, has to keep wiping it off.

[nuclearchihuahuas]

Saw the knee to Ben's face on the replay...that was intentional as hell!

[SteelDad]

We need a serious drive now offense! Or a quick strike to Wallace. I'll take either.

[HUNT4SEVEN]

Cmon Offense get me 7 this drive...Ok Defense keep it up, I hope troy Knock the Snot out of Slouch 1 and Slouch 2:tt02::tt02:

[Steelers_All_Day_43]

What's up with the 4 man rushes? Bring the heat

[HUNT4SEVEN]

Saw the knee to Ben's face on the replay...that was intentional as hell!

Yea it was and NO CALL the refs are being told by Goodell to not give us any calls :cursin:

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

i'm gonna have to drag out my magic steeler stocking for this shit.

[nuclearchihuahuas]

I say let Mendy run all day long!

[sterere]

stream http://sportstream24.com/watch_online_29.php

[Steelers_All_Day_43]

WTF, Ryan torain has 120 yards n the first qtr?!

[nuclearchihuahuas]

can we get it together please?

[SteelDad]

This is brutal.

[HUNT4SEVEN]

Dammit Ben get it together

[BlitzburghRockCity]

WTF is going on here...Jeebus guys, wake the hell up!!

[nuclearchihuahuas]

so far the punting has been acceptable

[DanRooney]

WTF, Ryan torain has 120 yards n the first qtr?!

I just dropped him before the game. FML.

[Troyisabeast_43]

Wow terrible god this offense drives you nuts at times how they gain 7-8 yards on one play then get absolutely shit the next couple of plays...

[BlitzburghRockCity]

How did we all know this was going to happen, it's vintage Steelers here. You get a huge win last week, lay it all on the line, and then totally come out like you're still in bed the following game.

[Steelers_All_Day_43]

i'm gonna have to drag out my magic steeler stocking for this shit.

DO. IT. NOW.

[DanRooney]

This is ridiculous. Steelers D, Wallace and Suisham on my fantasy team for the first game of the playoffs. God this sucks.

[SteelDad]

Take the shield off BR. Clearly it's bugging him. And I agree, keep giving it to Mendy.

[Zachintosh66]

Take the shield off BR. Clearly it's bugging him. And I agree, keep giving it to Mendy.

really? cmon?

[SteelDad]

How did we all know this was going to happen, it's vintage Steelers here. You get a huge win last week, lay it all on the line, and then totally come out like you're still in bed the following game.

Yup, last week means nothing if we dont win today.

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Defense got blown off the line...no pressure thus far save for a play or 2

[Troyisabeast_43]

This game has a terrible feel to it so far I dont like it at all...

[nuclearchihuahuas]

looks like no phase of the steelers game came to play today

[DanRooney]

This team just sucks today. They're playing with absolutely no urgency.

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Ok Steelers, time to wake up, roll out of bed, and show up at heinz field.

[Troyisabeast_43]

If Cincy keeps moving the ball the way they are here the Steelers are going to be in a dogfight all day to win this game...

[nuclearchihuahuas]

if the bungals score again...we are in trouble!

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

we the real steelers step forward and win this fn game. thanks

[nuclearchihuahuas]

If Cincy keeps moving the ball the way they are here the Steelers are going to be in a dogfight all day to win this game...

problem is our dogs won't fight today--at least not so far. Are you wearing your 43 jersey? It worked last week

[Troyisabeast_43]

Steelers made a mistake deferring the opening kickoff it's the biggest play of this game so far because the Bengals took advantage of it early and scored and have a ton of life now and it's not good at all...

[nuclearchihuahuas]

optimism for the Bengals? How about disgust for the Steelers

[nuclearchihuahuas]

good tip troy!

[HUNT4SEVEN]

Troy is the only D player that bumps his man off the line of scrimmage, cmon on guys get it together

[nuclearchihuahuas]

I liked that ... great tackle by Woodley!

[nuclearchihuahuas]

Hood was mugged!

[nuclearchihuahuas]

that sucked!

[SteelDad]

Terrible. We can't cover a bed.

[DanRooney]

Another first down...crowd starting to boo

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

u fukn assholes. hey u playin the bengals 4 cryst sake

[DanRooney]

William Gay needs to go home.

[Steelers_All_Day_43]

Omfg!!!

[HUNT4SEVEN]

This is embarrassing:rant2:

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

now the fkrs are gonna be up by 2.

[Zachintosh66]

cmon gay make a tackle

[nuclearchihuahuas]

we can't stop any one in the secondary

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Will Gay, wow epic failure!!!

[Zachintosh66]

lets go texans

[BlitzburghRockCity]

We can't stop anyone period!

[nuclearchihuahuas]

man that chicken commercial is creepy

[Longshanks]

It's a good thing this isn't on TV here. Listening to it is bad enough, but watching this BS...I dunno if I could take it.

[nuclearchihuahuas]

lets go texans

:plus1::plus1::plus1: :banging::banging:

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

so far. i ain't impressed. i know we can win this if the team decides to play like a team.

[SteelDad]

These are times I miss Cower. He'd be in someone's face trying to motivate. Tomlin just stands there. I appreciate the calm demeanor, but there are times you need to wake your team the &*$^ up!

[Troyisabeast_43]

If the Steelers get down by 14 points in this game and have to throw the ball to come back and win they are in serious serious trouble...This is a total ****ing disaster so far..

[nuclearchihuahuas]

OK--will the real steelers please step up?

[nuclearchihuahuas]

There's my boys!!!

[SteelDad]

Keep bringin the WOOD!!

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Finally,. a good defensive play

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Now maybe they are starting to wake up!

[nuclearchihuahuas]

oh no, I heard a helmet hit!

[coach]

Boys wakin up. No big play.

[HUNT4SEVEN]

Way to blow that up Timmons hopefully that sack inspires these boys to play some ball now....

[nuclearchihuahuas]

guess it took the fans booing!

[HUNT4SEVEN]

Great play clark

[BlitzburghRockCity]

That's more like it!!!

[Zachintosh66]

ok offense, lets keep this tempo up that the d just set

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

way to go steelers

[Zachintosh66]

fair catch

[nuclearchihuahuas]

Offense's turn to wake up!

[BlitzburghRockCity]

The offense pinned back deep, not a good place to start.... now, the defense wake up..offense you do the same!

[SteelDad]

3 huge plays right there folks!

[Zachintosh66]

oh, i was wrong let it bounce...

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

now go score a big one for chuck. eh.

[Steelers_All_Day_43]

Let's go offense

[coach]

I like the idea of sending Gay. Not like he's gonna cover or tackle.

[SteelDad]

I like the idea of sending Gay. Not like he's gonna cover or tackle.

Truth.

[nuclearchihuahuas]

got a little room

[Troyisabeast_43]

A nice long td drive here would be huge...

[nuclearchihuahuas]

for a rag tag defense, the bungals have been doing a job on us so far

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

take out ohsofukd cino or to and this game is over.

[SteelDad]

I get the feeling Mendy's going to break one.... He's been close a couple of times.

[Diamondhead]

Another nail-biter in the making. I was hoping for a Raiders like blowout so I could relax my nerves,lol

[nuclearchihuahuas]

that was nasty

[BlitzburghRockCity]

That's alittle more like it..keep it up!

[nuclearchihuahuas]

HINES!!

[Dee Mca]

That hurt my knee. Was nasty.

[nuclearchihuahuas]

we all wonder that announcer!

[SteelDad]

A successful bubble screen! I'm comin Elizabeth, I'm comin!

[coach]

They aint gonna get any sympathy here. We have had injuries too.

[BlitzburghRockCity]

There ya go Mendy, keep it up! First down

[nuclearchihuahuas]

A successful bubble screen! I'm comin Elizabeth, I'm comin!

:lol::lol::lol:

[LarryNJ]

After 43 times calling that pass to Ward if finally gains more than 2

[SteelDad]

:lol::lol::lol:

Thank goodness someone got that!!

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

gotta convert brother.

[DanRooney]

This is ridiculous.

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Damnit offense, are you serious..!!!

[Dee Mca]

Brown gotta comeback on those not sit and wait on it

[nuclearchihuahuas]

offense is just defective today

[BlitzburghRockCity]

Where is the damn pass protection!

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

how many gd cheap shots they gonna low on ben?

[SteelDad]

WHy do our shooters continuosly over run the punt returner????

[HUNT4SEVEN]

maybe be should have sat this one out...:thinking:

[Troyisabeast_43]

Man this is ridiculous so far how the offense cant score on this shitty ass Bengals D...What will it take for Tomlin to realize Scott is a piece of garbage and cant block...

[nuclearchihuahuas]

how many gd cheap shots they gonna low on ben?

easy...as many as possible or as many as the bengals care to attempt

[coach]

The mere fact that that didn't turn into a pic 6 is amazing. That whole play suced from the line to the route, to the throw. Going for a beer.

[SteelDad]

Another reason why BA sucks.... OK, so you get nothing on 1st and 10, but why do you go gun on 2nd and 10? He takes away any question of what we might be doing offensively. You can keep them guessing Bruce...

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

this game sucks

[nuclearchihuahuas]

The mere fact that that didn't turn into a pic 6 is amazing. That whole play suced from the line to the route, to the throw. Going for a beer.

have one for me too :evilshake:

[nuclearchihuahuas]

go troy go!

[HUNT4SEVEN]

Way to come through Troy...

[nuclearchihuahuas]

troy looks hurt!

[Troyisabeast_43]

Troy to the rescue again but ****kkkk he is hurt...

[RIVERS OF STEEL]

what the flying fuk. wow

[BlitzburghRockCity]

oh shit!!!! Touchdown!!!!!!! Troy with the pick six!! Troy is limping though after flying thru the air at the goal line!
