Game Thread: Bengals @ Steelers

[Tgann69]

The turning point was the punt return for a TD. Sucked the wind out of them.

It was classic Steelers football..Punch u in the mouth...wait see if u can respond... play the clock winding down game.


Seen it 100 times.

On to the next game.....

That was one of them for sure. You know he was just trying to let Tate know he had the ball.

Yeah, I know that's what he was doing, he just raised his hand a little too high.
I can't remember the sequence, did the punt return come on that possession?

 

[bengaldoug]

I can't remember for sure. I know I blinked and we were down 21-0.

Yes.

Steelers had to punt, Bengals go the ball and got 9 yards, and then had to punt...bad snap, and Steelers had the ball on the 1 (I would haver reviewed to give them the safety and free-kick it, but I digress).

Bengals then had to punt again, but this time, Huber hung it down the middle. Jason Dimanche dropped his jock trying to tackle him, and the rest is history. 14-0. After that, Bengals punt again, and Steelers drive to go up 21-0, and that is pretty much the game.

After that, Cincy rebounded to outscore Pitt 20-9 the rest of the way, but it just wasn't enough.

1. Dre K. is a bust. He has no business being on the field and he needs to be released.

2. This offense is completely incapable of coming from behind. It's the most boring, slow, bland offense I've ever seen in the NFL.

 

[DanBengalfan]

well, the offense could come from behind, but we'd probably hand the ball off to BJGE instead.

All of the recent Alabama defensive players have been busts. We'll probably draft another one.

Courtney Upshaw for the Ravens has not been a bust...Bill Belichick jumped us in the draft to get Hightower and we landed Upshaw good for us.He is a beast makes big plays picked up a fumble in the Super Bowl.

Door is ----->

No one is making you root for this team. You know the deal. It's like Hell...only it's a choice, and it makes it that much worse.

 

[DanBengalfan]

there's just too many teams in the NFL that are playing incredibly bad.

we suck, but its just not that obvious to most because the NFL as a whole isn't playing at the high level people are used to seeing.

Classic Marvin Lewis. Right when the team has an opportunity to establish themselves as legit they completely shit the bed in front of national audience. More than that, they come out flat and are the opposition plays with more urgency eventhough they have nothing on the line (while the Bengals have everything to play for). Just makes me sick. And don't get me started on how he 'handled' the end of the first half taking timeouts into the locker room with good field position and down huge. That was just a disgrace. Piss poor all the way around.

That's when I went to bed. I was so pissed off I could not sleep.

The Stillers could still make the playoffs. I find that hilarious.

 

[DanBengalfan]

they're workin' on it, they need our help though

 

[bengaldoug]

Boys, we might be playing the Stillers in the first round of the playoffs....

That would mean the Dolphins, Chargers, and Ravens would all have to lose and the Steelers win.

I'm not seeing it.
