**AFC North Doubleheader - Bengals at Steelers**(+2.5, 48) Saturday Kickoff at 8:00 (1 Viewer)

[Uncle Leo]

What kind of mood is George in today? That’s the other problem with the Steelers. They have zero passing game without George being engaged.

 

[fred_1_15301]

10-0 is a bloody miracle right now with how badly the Steelers have been dominated.

 

[travdogg]

There are sooo many problems. Bad oline play, QB holding the ball, no run game, no playmakers, and that’s just the offense. The sad is that the defense is a bigger issue.

Defense isn't that bad. They just really can't cover elite WRs 1-1. So when they play Cinci, or Philly a couple weeks ago, teams with multiple great options they are in trouble. I think if they draw Houston they will look a lot better since they have Nico and nothing.

 

[irish eyes]

I expect a run up the middle, screen pass behind the line, and Russ being a statue on 3rd down on this drive

 

[travdogg]

Warren returning kicks? Is Patterson hurt?

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Warren is usually one of the two guys that they use to returns kicks

 

[5-ish Finkle]

They're going to take that catch away from Williams

 

[Mongidig]

They're going to take that catch away from Williams

It did look like a bobble there.

There’s no pass rush which is exposing the secondary.

I didn't think he got both feet in. Just looked like one toe

I'll happily accept it

 

[irish eyes]

Is Fields active?

So yes, defense is bad. No pass rush no secondary.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Got to get a touchdown here. Field goal means nothing

 

[irish eyes]

Horrible play calling, they got lucky.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Horrible play call imo. Steelers lucked out on it being flagged

 

[Uncle Leo]

Najee is a good dude. Happy for him.

 

[Uncle Leo]

There it is. Joe’s first incompletion.

 

[Uncle Leo]

Looks like we have ourselves a ball game. That and I’m talking to myself. Everyone checked out?

Checked the incorrectly pinned thread

 

[irish eyes]

Smart by the Steelers not to throw to Pickens. It is just unbelievable what this idiot team does.

What? Jefferson isn’t good enough for you?!?!

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Folks, the pinned post is way up there

Dunno why y’all wasting time on this topic.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Sigh

 

[Uncle Leo]

Herbert has 4 catches already. Not bad…only 14 yards though.

 

[irish eyes]

None of the Steelers receivers would even be on an NFL roster other than Pickens.

 

[Desert_Power]

Herbert has 4 catches already. Not bad…only 14 yards though.

Could have used that literally any other week.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Herbert has 4 catches already. Not bad…only 14 yards though.

Chase Brown would have significantly more on the same.

Bummer he got hurt.

Chase is a stud. Not sure why they kept playing Moss early in the season.

 

[irish eyes]

Steeler offense now with 47 whopping points in the last 3 & a half games. Please don't bring Russ back.

I was on the Russ wagon and thought Fields was the problem. Now I’m not sure. I can see that they need to add legit WRs on this offense.

 

[Desert_Power]

Great hands there. He could have been a WR!

 

[CGRdrJoe]

after the first drive burrow has looked like **** with his pocket awareness, Shocked he hasn’t tried to scramble and run for yards instead of just standing in there and getting hit

 

[Uncle Leo]

Wow. I guess Joe does not want to make a run at the MVP.

 

[Mongidig]

Looks like we got Bronco Russ tonight.

 

[ChiefD]

Arthur Smith looks like Uncle Buck

 

[Uncle Leo]

Not sure if you guys saw the podcast Big Ben has. He called out Pickens for not running his route and that led the safety to not focus on him and it ultimately led to a Wilson Pick. It was a bad look for GP. Saw it on IG reel.

 

[fred_1_15301]

I’m ready for Fields

 

[Uncle Leo]

I’m ready for Fields

To be a New York Giant

 

[Mongidig]

Lame effort by Muth to get the first killed this drive.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Oof.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I didn’t think Warren got that

 

[irish eyes]

Tomlin is an idiot, are you kidding me.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Yeah -

Got the call right.

Cinci D’s up!

 

[belljr]

This has been fantastic tune up

 

[TheAristocrat]

Hard to get a yard against this Bengals top 30 defense

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Burrow is firmly in “force it in to Chase every throw” mode

 

[fred_1_15301]

Tomlin has made some horrific decisions the past month. Like WTF is the point going for it there.

I just wish he did that last week

Coach of the year baby.

 

[Uncle Leo]

What a swing…was thinking 10-10 at the half.

 

[Mongidig]

I agree. Russ would have taken a drive ending sack anyway after getting into field goal range.
