Bengals @ Steelers Game Thread

How do you leave Ward open in the end zone?

Seriously, Bresh should be fired right now.

[kingwilly]

they just let the only guy who makes plays on their Offense go free....

that play alone should be the end of CHuck.

[Spor_tees]

Why did they take Ndukwe out of the game in the position?...I'm dumbfounded by this coaching...does anyone know any out of work grinder monkey's that want to be an NFL coach? I mean that is ridiculous

[kingwilly]

now watch them kneel.

Bresh's defense philosophy is so weak! 8 yard cushions by the Dbs on short yardage and no one covers Ward. WTF!

typical bengals fashion play a good 1st quarter then self destruct in the 2nd. i knew after shayne shanked the field goal everything would fall apart and now look 17 -7 halftime. it's pretty bad when you can predict how they will collapse. pathetic

It's amazing. I think I would have thought long and hard about going for it on fourth down instead of trying for the field goal. We had a chance to bury this team early and couldn't convert on several third downs.

Somehow they have to bring more heat on Ben. Rushing four isn't getting it done. I am surprised that they Steelers have been so effective with the spread offense. But that shows you the depth of our DBs.

Also is there something wrong with Ghiachiuc? He looked like he was hoping on one leg at one point.

[vettespd20]

WOW i hope the second half looks better than this half

[Spor_tees]

Bengals lose tonight then run the table to finish 8-8 and Marvin and Co. all keep their jobs. Cincinnati drafts in the middle of the pack and article after article comes out saying that Marvin hasn't had a losing season instead of saying that he has had only one winning season.

Was the 2nd quarter of that game just one long sustained drive by the Steelers' offense? Felt like our D never got off the field.

[kingwilly]

Well, I gotta say this is pathetic. This is a very beatable Pitt team and the Bengals just psyhe themselves rigt out of the game with stupid penalties, poor playcalls and mistakes.

the defensive scheme went from adequate to the worst zone ever played.

nothing short of serious repair can make this team better. Defensive staff needs to go, the O-line needs to be ready to replace Willie, and the draft needs to be heavy on defensive talent.

this game is over...it was over middway through the second quarter.

[ShulaSteakhouse]

Yes! Please let that count!

crap, ground caused it.....

[HoosierCat]

TD JJoe!!!

[COB]

JOseph!!!!!! Yes Bengals. Just the break we needed, defensive score.

[BengalszoneBilly]

That didn't look like no fumble to me!

[HoosierCat]

Yeah, I knew the review was coming.

[Spor_tees]

sorry it won't count it was caused by the ground

[cincy9275]

yea it's not a fumble.

[HoosierCat]

That didn't look like no fumble to me!

Hard to tell from the 1 angle they showed...

[jonahdsage]

steelers trying to steal that non-fumble fumble touchdown from us . . . bastards.

[cincy9275]

lets justsee if we can get them off the field on 3rd down.

[BengalszoneBilly]

Yeah, I knew the review was coming.

I'm surprised they didn't whistle him down at the tackle.

[Spor_tees]

come on...its the Bengals...it will get over turned

[HoosierCat]

Looks pretty much simultaneous to me. Probably gets reversed.

[Spor_tees]

Bingo boingo...Mike Brown you bastard...why do you have to make the NFL hate you so much?
