Yeah, the early picks in 2023 have to focus on pass rush

I was hoping Ossai would be the difference this year, but I have rarely if ever heard his name even mentioned

For whatever reason they fattened him up and put him inside, likely due to their depth needs there.  Doesn't look like it was a good idea.  They need an edge guy who can disrupt QB's and collapse the pocket and make plays.  Hubbard has really fallen-off this year.

[TJJackson]

amazing how the defense was so good those first few games, kept us in games when the offense was gawdawful.

Now the offense seems much improved, and the defense now shits the bed

making the rookie qb look like Unitas again

which makes no sense since DE is his natural spot AND they have no depth at DE either

[volcom69]

All goes down from here of course 

[TJJackson]

Tee hurt

[Stripes]

These tips at the line are becoming far too frequent.

[ShulaSteakhouse]

That was an ill-advised pass regardless of pressure.  Jesus.  

[volcom69]

Just amazes me with this team for years now that when one bad thing happens and they fall apart

Very Dalton-esque.  Which is scary.

[glasgowbengal]

PIT have the ball first in the second half too. They get anything here and this could go south very quickly. 

[glasgowbengal]

That defence is a fucking embarrassment tonight. 

 

[volcom69]

I don’t know I sometimes think this team is just not that good. How is that terrible teams and bad players always play there best game against the bengals. 

[TJJackson]

just gawdawful defense

gawdawful

guys, sorry -- this simply isnt a playoff team, even if they do manage to come back and win this one

[Stripes]

A 6-4 team getting Chase back can certainly be a playoff team.

A 5-5 team that is 0-4 in the division is forked.

Find a way or fuck off, Bengals.

[glasgowbengal]

They better get their shit together at HT or you can kiss the season goodbye.

Defence look like a bunch of guys who won a fan competition to go out on the field 

[HoosierCat]

Just a note: Pitt’s most points this year is 23…against us in the opener. So far they’ve scored 20 in 2 quarters. Bad, bad, bad.

[cincyhokie]

If the defense doesn’t show up this half, the season is over.

[Stripes]

Good start defense.

[volcom69]

Well hopefully they come out this half like this is a must win game!

As bad as the Cleveland game.  I don't know how they beat playoff caliber teams if they keep showing up like this.

[Stripes]

Seem to have abandoned the run

[volcom69]

What the heck was that call he wanted to run the ball up the middle 

[ShulaSteakhouse]

Wow Volson is not good in PP at all.  He cannot handle Heyward.

[Stripes]

Fortunate that wasn't intentional grounding

[Stripes]

Another good punt by Chrisman
