Steeler running back didn’t practice the last few days of the week & will not be playing this week in Cincy.

Week 7, Steelers travel to face the division door mat Bengals in Cincinnati

So far I’ve been 5 for 5 in Steeler predictions for the year –I’m on a roll, so you can book the week 7 match up where the Steelers travel to Cincinnati to play the Bungles…errr I mean the Bengals.

Week 5 produced a 26-21 Pittsburgh Steeler victory over their nemesis the Jacksonville Jaguars (am I being redundant here, ok maybe so – yes, as predicted in my post the week before they played). That was a tough tough game.

Luckily week 6 was a bye week for the men of Steel & some of their banged up players got a chance to recharge their batteries & heal up somewhat – unfortunately one of them isn’t fast Willie Parker. Parker, the Steelers super stud running back is still injured & was unable to practice in the latter part of week & will be out this week. His health is key to how far the Steelers will go in the AFC Playoffs this year. Last year they almost pulled out their 1^st playoff game match up with the Jaguars, but were unable to – who didn’t play? Fast Willie Parker, he really takes their game up a notch or 2. Let’s hope he’ll be well rested for week 8 match up against the defending Super Bowl champs the New York Giants. Let’s not kid ourselves, Steelers should crush the Bungles – so this would be an ideal game if Parker was to miss – this would be it (kind off a cakewalk game in the NFL).

The Bungles, what a bunch of losers – really, they are 0-6. Their bad play shouldn’t surprise many, but 0-6 – that is bad. On paper they have the nucleus to be a great team – unfortunately they just don’t seem to put it together. I mean they have stars on offense, QB Carson Palmer, WR’s Chad (Ocho Cinco) Johnson, & TJ Houshmandzadeh. Problem is they have no stars on Defense & QB Palmer has been injured most of the year & should miss this game. Enough said, Steelers with their own stars should steam roll the Bengals regardless where the game is played – in this case in Cincy. Steelers go to 5-1, let’s just cross our fingers & they don’t lose any more players & Willie Parker gets good & healthy. Oh & yes, let’s keep our QB Big Ben Roethlisberger standing & not to take to many hits as he has been in the past few weeks.
