Which Team Would You Rather Have Win: Bengals or Steelers?

[PeRK82]

Which team would you rather win between the Stealers and Bungals this sunday.

I think i want the Stealers to[b] Lose[/b] , simply because they are more dangerous in the play offs and the Bungals remaining schedule is tougher than the Stealers.

You want the Steelers to win because they are more dangerous? If Anything I'd want the Bengals to win so the steelers don't get to the playoffs!

I'm with this. Bengals sweep the squealers, we sweep the Bengals. All will be good.

[bpytnjr58]

The Ravens still have to play Cincy so they can control their own destiny there...The Steelers are in the rear view window now and the Ravens have to rely on other teams add to the Steeler's loss column. Go Bengals!!

[The King]

If the Steelers win by a lot then I'll know that the Bengals aren't for real and we should be able to sweep them. If the Steelers win close than it puts the Bengals a bit behind us provided that we win on Sunday. Either way the Steelers are the better pick for us.

[gabefergy]

Definitely rooting for the Bengals. The Steelers are the bigger long term threat.

Steelers. I don't really know much about the Bengals other then they have a rookie QB, a super awesome rookie wideout and a good defense. I'd rather face the enemy I know than the enemy I don't.

[Guest ArmyRaven52]

I want the Steelers to win. that way they play a playoff game at the Bank and we completely erase the stigma of this team, I am tired of people trying to duck these guys, some people would do well in Floyd Fairweather's camp.

[PWNEDbyDEANO]

Bengals. I'm not scared of the Steelers but I would rather them not be in the playoffs.

[bpytnjr58]

Asking for three victories is asking a little much.

[edreedfromtheu]

Would getting "complete" revenge by beating the Steelers 3 times in a single season(like they did to the Ravens back in 2008) be sweet? Yes, it would.

But what is the ultimate goal? THE SUPER BOWL. A RING FOR ED REED. Hell... a ring for Joe Flacco the same season that a Steeler player said the Ravens would never win a Super Bowl with Flacco.

And also, this year the Super Bowl is in Indianapolis. If there was EVER a time to win the Super Bowl, it's right in front of Irsay... right in his little back yard.

And if I got the chance to choose my opponent I had to go through in order to get to the Super Bowl, I'm picking a rookie-led Bengals team over the playoff-tested Roethlisberger and Steelers any day, and twice on Sunday!

[Michael Reichert]

Definitely want the Squeelers to win.I want us to be the only 2 loss teams in the AFC North.

[bpytnjr58]

If they must play the Steelers again then so be it....i do not care how they would get to Indy as long as the trophy comes home to Baltimore.

[baltravens]

I take one game at a time, and if we beat Seattle and Pitt beats Cincinnati then we sit [i]all alone [/i]in first place atop the AFC North. ...So next week another scenario presents itself to speculate upon.
Yes, I will take the flogging since I want the Squeelers to win.

[CapoRocky]

I think the Bengals are playing way over their heads so far this season. We will meet them in the final week possibly with the division on the line. I want them to beat the Steelers and lose other games. That way we can be the team to knock them out of first place by beating them twice.

So we would be better off if we split with them or got swept ourselves? I don't understand that logic.

[FootballMasta20]

GO BENGALS!

[wizard1]

Steelers win this one for the gipper! I want first place all to ourselves!

[Ravensstrike4424]

while i know we can beat Steelers again,i want to see a different team,so i hope the Bengals win

[bmore187]

We need the Steelers to win this one. Cincy is currently 5-1 against the AFC while the Ravens are 4-2.........If Cincy wins against Pitt then loses to us they would be 7-3 but still have a better AFC record at 6-2 compared to the Ravens 8-2 record, 5-2 in the AFC....So if the Ravens were to lose against another AFC team that would be devastating considering Cincy has beaten Jax and Tennessee already.

Yea , i see what your saying and completely understand but the Stealers fans would still make excuses.

[wayne]

Its a win-win both ways but realistically, I just don't see a rookie QB holding up throughout the game vs the Steelers or us. I would rather the Steelers lose to get even more seperation from them in the division but if they win, I'm not tripping either. Steelers need us to lose two more games to jump ahead of us and every game they lose adds a game to how many we have to lose for them to be over us in the division.

Oh I'm sure that they would but realistically this year, flacco had best the brakes off those cats, came from behind with three drops on the game winning drive and was still poetry in motion. If he beats them in the playoffs then this whole teams confidence goes through the roof. I would much rather beat these [i]<guys>[/i] on the way to the lombardi so no one cam say will if they would have played the steelers our whatever, beat the best to get there and win youy [i]<shake>[/i] everybody with sense up.

The whole team confidence is already through the roof with a season sweep of the Steelers in their house for a 92 yard game winning drive. If you can do that on the Steelers, you can do that on any D in the league. If our D can contain the potent attack of the Steelers O, they can contain anyones O, including the almighty Packers.

One thing is our D-line coach has to work with the guys where they can be aware of the QB and not over pursue on the pass rush leaving the passing lanes open where the QB can just step up in the pocket and even scramble out which poses too many threats. It scared me the other day when Big Ben did this and he threw the TD pass to Wallace doing this and even converted on a first down with a pass to Miller doing this when Ray had to leave Miller b/c of the threat of Big Ben scrambling. Big Ben is one of the best at doing this so I can't trip too much.

Our confidence right now is like when King Leoinadas and his army went up against The Immortals for the first time and whooped them pretty bad. Zerces ( know I'm speling his name wrong ) threw his best at them and they still prevailed so after that, no matter who he threw at them, their confidence was sky high already knowing they beat the best Zerces had so they destroyed the Barbrians, the Wizards, the Rhino, etc... anyone else from that point on that he threw at them.

Our confidence is in Cloud 9 right now!

It did not end so will for them, but I smell what you are stepping in.

[theFRANCHISE]

The only way I would root for the Steelers is if a Steelers victory results in a Ravens playoff berth.

But in this case, since the Ravens currently control their own destiny both in the division race [i]and[/i] the playoff race, there's no reason for me to root for the Steelers.

As the archrival of the Ravens, I wish nothing but bad luck to the Steelers. As much as I respect their talent and accomplishments, I cannot wish Pittsburgh success in any way, shape, or form. My conscience won't allow it.

[Footman DCXLV]

Has to be Cincinnati. The Steelers will find a way into the playoffs, but the Bengals could win this week, and still go 9-7 and miss out. Let them knock Pittsburgh back another game.
