Uh, I aint shutting my pie hole until the steelers either dont make the playoffs or until they get eliminated in the playoffs...and either one could take a while.

[Whitaker201]

No playoffs for you! Now shut your pie hole!

[Dan21XRS]

I"ll fill in 2011 for ya....

The Packers defeated the Steelers by the score of 31–25.... Dan

[200xp]

Yes sir they did, and that left a sour taste in my mouth...but it was a little less sour cuz there are 6 lombardi's on the shelf, and I am old enough and fortunate enough to have seen all of them.

[200xp]

And, for comparison, here is the Bengals playoff history. As you can see, a substantially smaller list than the steelers.

12-26-70** L 0-17 at Baltimore
12-23-73** L 16-34 at Miami
12-28-75** L 28-31 at Oakland
1-3-82** W 28-21 BUFFALO
1-10-82*** W 27-7 SAN DIEGO
1-24-82# L 21-26 vs. San Francisco Super bowl
1-9-83+ L 17-44 N.Y. JETS
12-31-88** W 21-13 SEATTLE
1-8-89*** W 21-10 BUFFALO
1-22-89## L 16-20 vs. San Francisco Super Bowl
1-6-91* W 41-14 HOUSTON
1-13-91** L 10-20 at L.A. Raiders
1-8-06* L 17-31 PITTSBURGH

Hell the Steelers have been around since 1933. I hope their playoff history a little longer then the Bengals... Law of averages.... And you forgot the Bengals 2009 appearance... Dan

That would be the difference of having good ownership that wants to put a winning team on the field!

[200xp]

The law of averages?? I dont think so.
The Bengals started in 1968, so heck, throw out the Steelers two playoff appearances before 1970, and then compare. Heck, start with 1980, then compare. Or, start with 1990, and then compare.

[Dan21XRS]

We'de rather not compare ourselfs to the "Pitts Burg" of the rust belt... Dan

[200xp]

credit given where credit is due...Bengals defense is currently ranked number ONE in yards per game.

[Whitaker201]

Ok so say it with me......The Bengals D is currently better than the Steelers D. I know that stings a little but you will be ok.

[200xp]

What a difference a week makes...Steelers now are number one Defense, yards per game.

Then again, we have the Patriots on the schedule, so I am sure that number will go up a little.

[Whitaker201]

Why you so late to the party did Rodney drive you here in his Ranger?
Good timing though, I knew you didnt want to admit to the statement.

[Whitaker201]

Ought oh....Palmer to the Raiders and the Bengals get a 1st round pick this year and another pick next year? Is Brown going to finaly make a decision for the team and swallow his pride on the business side?

[200xp]

Late to what party?

Yep, Mr. Brown must have hit his head and knocked some sense into himself.
Smartest move in a long, long time for the Bengals.
