8-0 so far

Ben is 8-0 as a professional player in the state of Ohio. The Steelers have won 6 games in a row at Cincinnati. Both of those streaks eventually have to end but hopefully it can keep going with this game. Like every other game they've played this year the Steelers are better than the team they are playing, at least on paper. On paper in the NFL means nothing, absolutely nothing. After last week's loss because of the lack of running the ball I think the Steelers are going to run a little bit more. The nice thing is the Bengals can't stop the run very well. I always worry about a team that has really good WR since the Steelers' corners aren't actually very good in coverage. That mixed with the Bengals wanting to get a little revenge for the Steelers ending their season two years in a row, I'm even more worried. I think the Steelers have a great shot to win but in the crazy NFL where emotion plays a huge part who knows.

Emotion? Emotion?? Seriously? You're absolutely right it plays a part in most NFL games, but the only emotion I saw on the Bengals side was dejection, that is until the very end when for some insane reason they were all laughing and having a grand old time. The Bengals are once again becoming a laughing stock and they don't seem to care a whole lot. Thank god I am a Steelers fan.

The Steelers are better than every team they play on paper and on the field. This team should be 7-0. Arizona and Denver were lost by 1 or 2 missed opportunities. Now I'm not saying that they should be talked about in the same breath as the Pats or Colts, not yet anyway.
