Will it continue to rain throughout the game, or will it stop, or change over to sleet/snow?

You obviously based your "Who's got the edge" analysis on all the players on either team instead of the active players tonight. For the first time in a long time the Steelers are more injured than the Bengals. The defense has been playing together recently and our WR's are at full strength. Take a chance on the Bengals.

it is a shame the steelers never got cheerleaders. A few pennsylvania heifers grazing on the field might really help the condition of it.

Got a feeling the Bengals will win tonight. I'll be satisfied if they play hard and smart though...that's all I want, not a perfect team but an aggressive, smart, always fighting team.

Too much to ask, Marv?
