Talking about Story Lines as the Pittsburgh Steelers could fill up the front, back, and middle of any major newspaper. Where do you start as the O-Line was atrocious especially after Twin went down. "313" from the D goes down and LAWdawg Timmons is calling the "D" now. The Offense looked Dazed and Confused as Big Ben was sacked five times. Everyone has written the Black and Yellow off foe 2013. All those pundits looked like geniuses after NFL Week 1 as the Titans came into Heinz and beat up the Steelers 16-9. Now the New Bengals with a nameless great face in James "Mr. Clean" Harrison in Spike Lee Gym Black and Orange as the plot thickens on Monday Night Football.

The Steelers need top concentrate on what they are doing and not what the Bengals did in Week 1 vs the Bears. Yes the Bengals have a few new Toys and they have All-Milky Way Galaxy WR AJ Green but they are the Bengals as they proved that in Week 1. Can Big Ben and New Center and ex-Titan Fernando Velasco get on the same page quick enough to stop the "Atkins Diet on the Ohio" Bengals DT Geno Atkins and Company?
The Run Game gets Jonathan Dwyer back but it still on that O-Line. Steelers O-Coordinator Todd Haley and Big Ben have to stay in attack mode vs the Bengals and they may have to look on Madden 25 and get some Vertical Passing Plays...they are there for the taking. The Bengals will be attacking trying to confuse new O-Lineman Velasco and Big Ben all night long. Steelers Wide Outs Go Go Sanders and Tone 2.0 have to get loose in that Bengals Secondary if Ben gets time.
Defensively the Steelers need to get pressure on the Strawberry Rifle Dalton and the Bengals cannot run the Pigskin all over that Steelers Front like the Titans did. If they do the Steelers will be looking at the Bears in Week 3 with an 0-2 record. Dalton's Passing game starts and ends with AJ Green but Rookie TE Tyler Eifert from Notre Dame will be huge all season for the Bengals as he was impressive vs the Bears in Week 1. Look for Dick LeBeau to have a Safety over the Top of Green and the Steelers need to slow down Eifert, TE Jermaine Gresham, and WR Mohammad Sanu among others.
This game will be won in the trenches and based on that from Week 1 the Steelers are behind. Steelers get it together and make the adjustments vs the Bengals. Remember the Steelers are still 0-5 counting pre season and pre season counts until you win in the Regular Season if you know what I mean.
Winner: Steelers 27-17...the Black and Yellow get back to the Basics
