Bengals @ Steelers Game Thread

[TJJackson 337]

I love Geno, but they are/were only using him on a limited basis when he played at all this season, so while again I LOVE (and always will love, same as Dunlap) the guy I dont see his absence as having much of an impact

[Stripes 469]

Agreed. He's the greatest defender in the history of the franchise for my money; he has given all we could ever ask of him. At his age he isn't likely to have much left anyway.

Would be nice to see the Bengals hand the Steelers their first loss there. A huge confidence burner.

John Ross got hurt in practice - playing cornerback.  He probably should have been a corner all along.  But he’d have to tackle someone at some point, and that would result in certain injury.  So I guess he should stay at receiver.

[HoosierCat 550]

He wasn’t playing corner, that got garbled in the reporting. He hurt his foot running a route. Tough break, hopefully it’s not anything major.

There was apparently a conversation about moving him to corner, which would be fucking stupid given his size imo but whatever.

[COB 859]

My son said he should return kicks.  I had a good chuckle at that one.

[AMPHAR 461]

They were asking Ross to play corner in practice due to the injury situation at the position.

It wasn’t a full time switch.  As noted he got hurt running routes before he got to the CB part of the programming.

On top of having no CB depth and Tony Brown starting opposite Jackson, and having no T depth at all and Adeniji having to start on the right, it’s also gonna be hella windy. So passing will be hard which, whelp, not great news either. 
 

just an awful convergence of adverse circumstances.

[HoosierCat 550]

30 minute weather delay to start the browns game. High winds and rain. Got the same weather here in northern Indiana and it’s probably what’s coming to Pitt. What a mess.

[ShulaSteakhouse 294]

FWIW weather report here in Cincy showing wind dying down after 3pm EST, not sure how accurate that is.  It's still pretty windy here, but not as bad as it was a couple hours ago.

Good start for the defense. Pass rush looks halfway awake.

[Stripes 469]

Fuck's sake, Erickson.

[volcom69 339]

Well that’s one way to lose the game give them the ball on a short field can’t do that crap

[volcom69 339]

Nice defense though

[Stripes 469]

Absolute bullshit to even have to give them three points, but thank you defense.

[HoosierCat 550]

Gifted them 3, lucky it wasn’t 7.

[Stripes 469]

Fortunate that wasn't a safety. I realize it's windy but jesus christ.

[ShulaSteakhouse 294]

Am guessing we're not going to see great passing #'s today

[volcom69 339]

Ugh this weather looks like it’s already hurting the team. 

[volcom69 339]

Very sloppy 

[Stripes 469]

They sure look prepared coming out of the bye week.

[glasgowbengal 47]

What an absolute shit show of a start.

Team are totally unfocused and unprepared.

[volcom69 339]

Why put Spain at LT thought he was more of a Guard I hate seeing Redmond back at Guard. 
 

Guess Williams is not ready to come back yet but he is active
