[quote][b]INJURIES[/b]
CIN: C Rich Braham (knee) has retired. All other players on the injury report this week have been probable and most are expected to practice Friday. LT Levi Jones (knee) returned for the first time since mid-October arthroscopic knee surgery last Sunday and is expected to go again.
PIT: The stealers are without starters LOLB Clark Haggans (knee), S Ryan Clark (groin), and RT Max Starks (knee).

[b]THE SERIES [/b]
stealers lead, 43-30, 19-17 in Cincinnati, 6-1 at PBS.

[b]NOTEWORTHY [/b]
The Bengals head into the 28th straight sellout at PBS, the third straight season of sellouts … A crowd of 64,649 in the 65,000-plus-seat house gives them a third straight home attendance record and beats last season’s 526,469 … The Bengals haven’t had back-to-back winning seasons since the 1981 AFC championship and the 1982 strike ... The last time they went 9-7, it was good enough for the 1990 AFC Central title … The last time the Bengals swept the stealers was 1998, when the Bengals won two of their three games, and pissburgh finished 7-9 for Bill Cowher’s first losing season in his seven-year career. He’s had two since, the last one in 2003, and has never finished 8-8 … WR Chad Johnson, with a 24-yard pad on the Colts’ Marvin Harrison, attempts to become the first Bengal to lead the NFL in receiving yards … QB Carson Palmer, with 216 yards passing, would become the Bengals’ first 4,000-yard passer … Palmer is 2-3 against the stealers in starts he has finished. stealers QB Ben Roethlisberger is 4-2 against the Bengals … A win Sunday gives Marvin Lewis four straight 5-3 seasons at home.

[b]NFL RANKINGS [/b]
CIN: Seventh in scoring, eighth in offense (22nd rushing, fifth passing), 28th in defense (12th rushing, 31st passing), tied for ninth in turnover differential; PIT: 11th in scoring, seventh in offense, (14th rushing, ninth passing), 10th in defense (fourth in rushing, tied for 18th passing); tied for 25th in turnover differential.

[b]COACHES[/b]
CIN: Marvin Lewis 35-28 regular season (0-1 postseason) in his fourth season; PIT: Bill Cowher 160-99-1 in his 15th season.

[b]THE WEATHER [/b]
The National Weather Service is calling for game time temperatures in the upper 50s, with a 70 percent chance of rain.

[b]GAME DAY ENTERTAINMENT [/b]
Anthem: Will Selnick; Halftime: Cincinnati Bengals First Annual Quarterback Challenge; Honor Guard: USMC[/quote]

[quote][size=5][b]Bengals tip hat to Cowher Power [/b][/size]
By GEOFF HOBSON
December 31, 2006

With a remote playoff shot, a winning season, and division dominance on the line, the orange-and-black disdain for stealers head coach Bill Cowher seems to stop at the gates of the parking lots.

At least publicly.

[b]As the pregame buzz hovered around Cowher, Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis opted to start Levi Jones (knee) at left tackle after he was downgraded to questionable when he didn’t practice in team drills Thursday and Friday. [/b]

With Sunday’s game possibly Cowher’s last hurrah, the players he has tortured over the years offered a mere shrug. Even in the 357-day light of the “We-Day,” chant in the visitors’ locker room.

“If you win, you get to do anything you want,” said defensive end John Thornton this week, acknowledging there are things the Bengals probably shouldn’t do when they win.

When Pro Bowl right tackle Willie Anderson arrived in 1996, the Bengals had won just one of eight games against Cowher and it hasn’t got much better. In the ensuing 11 seasons the stealers have won 20 more times, including the seminal game of the rivalry in last year’s Wild Card Game pissburgh defensive end Kimo von Oelhoffen took out Carson Palmer’s knee and Cowher took out their heart by mocking the Who-Dey chant.

“The first thing a real player says is he should have stopped him,” Anderson said. “That’s the whole thing. If we don’t want him saying, “Who Dey,” we should have won the game.”

One of the rivalry’s best matchups in recent years has been Anderson against stealers defensive end Aaron Smith. But Anderson always has an eye on other stealers. He admires the fashion Cowher has kept his team good for so long.

“(If it is his last game) It’s been a great run for him. He’s a guy that’s caused this team a lot of misery over the years,” Anderson said. “He’s one of the guys that has teams you envy year in and year out, the way he has brought them in and set them up. The backup guys become starters and the starters become Pro Bowlers and stars.”

Smith wears No. 91, but Anderson has also noticed No. 92, backup linebacker James Harrison who starts Sunday on the left outside in place of the injured Clark Haggans.

“He’s got the same number Jason Gildon had as a backup linebacker and then became their all-time sack leader,” Anderson said.

The grudging respect seems to have replaced any bitterness over what happened 357 days ago.

“The only bitterness I have is the part we played in it,” Anderson said. “In not playing up to our ability and they did a great job taking advantage of it like a well-coached team should do.”

The significance of the regular season’s last game falling so close to the one-year anniversary of what is arguably the lowest point in Bengals’ history seems to be lost in the current playoff scramble and the devastating loss in Denver last week.

“Doesn’t matter,” said wide receiver Chad Johnson. “We all know what would have happened if Carson played the entire game. We all understand we would have come out with a win.”

Johnson says the Bengals shook off the Christmas Eve trauma with “a great week of work. The scenarios are too good for us not to get in. If we do get in, we have a chance to do something special. do. Right now, let’s focus on pissburgh.”

Johnson is letting himself think about what happens if he holds on to his 24-yard lead over the Colts’ Marvin Harrison (who plays at home against the Dolphins) and becomes the first Bengal to lead the NFL in receiving yards.

“I’ll be fine. Hopefully I can do it,” Johnson said. “It’d be great to lead the AFC in receiving four straight years and lead the NFL. It’d be huge. As long as the numbers are helping my team.”


[b]The inactive list for the Bengals Sunday: Defensive tackle Shaun Smith for the third straight week, rookie wide receiver Skyler Green, rookie safety John Busing, rookie linebacker A.J. Nicholson, running back Quincy Wilson, linebacker Andre Frazier and center Ben Wilkerson. [/b][/quote]

uhhh... never mind. Should have read Old's complete post.

Wonder if Shaun Smith is a goner after this year? Fanene's been getting the nod of late. Also, guess Ahmad is up. AJ Nicholson has done nothing all year...

IMO, BJ has been the bad omen of the season.

He poped up early in the season, we went on a big slide. BJ showed back up before the Indy game, haven't won since....

I'm just sayin'...
