Huge game for both teams. Rodgers should be able to get back on track after last week’s disastrous performance. If not, stick a fork in him
We just saw these 2 play a few weeks ago. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Aaron Rodgers doesn't throw 4 TDs in this one, and that the Bengals do a better job against the TEs. 1 thing I think stays the same, is that Jaylen Warren eats. Fully expecting a top-10 week from Warren. Bengals are the worst run D in the NFL, and by a wide margin.
One major change the Steelers D has made, is moving Jalen Ramsey to Safety. Which has been a boon for them. I also feel pretty good that Mike Tomlin won't treat Ja'Marr Chase like he's just another WR in this one, I'd take the under on 15 catches. I do think Chase Brown hits some big plays, particularly as a checkdown option. I also think the Steelers pass rush has a lot more success this week than in the last meeting. Nick Herbig is a name not enough people know.
The Burrow thing is interesting. Bengals are 1.5 back entering the week, if they lose this week and lose next week (NE) they'll be 3-8. I'm sure Burrow will push for playing, but I wonder if they'll bother.

These 2 defenses are just hideous.

wow wouldn't you just take the EP.
Never get why you would take your own points off the board

This is gatbage. I don’t do this often, but Pittsburgh and their cheap-***, illiquid owner are still NFL darlings and it’s a joke. It’s feels like every 50-50 call is 85-15

Yeah, let’s get the guy with the vowel at the end of his name to assure us this isn’t crooked.

****, if Brooks gets a lot of carries Waldman won’t ever shut up about the one he got right.
Let me preempt. Trey Sermon!

Rodgers and DK just can't connect on that deep ball. 2 weeks in a row now DK beats his dude and Rodgers overthrows him by a couple of yards.

Steelers with 7 points against the worst defense in the league. This team is so bad.

Warren playing today?

I was just going to say that Gainwell has been in there way too much. The offense has looked so much better with Warren than Gainwell. Gotta wonder if Warren got injured at some point and thr broadcast just hasn’t figured it out.

He got a carry on that drive.
Welcome to the world of owning and starting Warren. Where Gainwell is the 2:00 drill back for no apparent reason reason.
Welp that jinxed it I guess

He looked like an absolute beast on the first drive so naturally the Steelers coaches limit his carries after that. Can’t even say this is unique to the Steelers. I feel like all coaches do this.

Yep, look at the dufus coaching Buffalo. 2nd leading rusher in the league in cook and he's barely used him today. Ty Johnson is apparently Barry Sanders.

Tbf, every WR could.. The amount of push-offs they all gets way with is insane.

I don't disagree but Metcalf is a frequent offender.

Rudolph looks better than Rodgers thus far

Hey look, missed tackles by the Steelers on 3rd down shocking.

A professional organization does not do this, do they?
I’ve had Chase in dynasty for years. He’s shaky, but Jalen Ramsey is beyond it.

There’s going to be a brawl and honestly, this is on Tomlin and the PIT organization, which has gone from storied and skinflint to cheap and violent.

Selfish moron but do we expect anything else from a Tomlin team. That's why everyone loves playing for him, he lets these idiots get away with everything.

Did Chase spit on Ramsey?
rockaction
Footballguy
I agree. He went past toughness and into weird whining like the worst of out politicians. I know people get pissed when I say that, but we have a real problem in our culture.
rockaction
Footballguy
I don’t know. If he did, inexcusable. But don’t insinuate and make me look up factually untrue things.
karl.Racki

Something happened for Ramsey to react like that..
karl.Racki
Footballguy
Chase clearly spit on him.. Watch Ramsey turn his head before he punched..
rockaction
Footballguy
Yeah, you don’t know that but that doesn’t look good. I looked at it also and if he did, that’s inexcusable.

I just traded serious capital for Warren? Is he hurt?
If so, I have thought something was wrong with this team and Tomlin. In fact, I wrote this because Gally offered me DK in a trade. Nah, Warren is hurt. He’s gotta be.
"Most calcs would disagree with my eval, but I’m comfortable with it and having a hard time with DK—that’s just how I see it. I’m really not liking Washington nor Pittsburgh right now and even though Shaheed has Njigba and Kupp, I don’t like DK’s future. Bill is the pull here, but I just can’t do the deal with the second. I might need it. It’s weird. My eval (and I kno w Skattebo is there looming) is just different than industry and is future-oriented for Tracy and Shaheed."

Nah, this is Arthur Smith. This isn’t frustrated fantasy. i’ve ripped Pitts from the jump. PIT has issues . There are serious clowns in charge.
eta* injury or not, he’s a clown.

I’m checking all over Twitter and they’re all saying ‘no’
They could be very wrong, but I have seen no report.
eta* sorry. Sporting News saying “apparent” leg injury. Nobody knows. i’d bet he’s hurt.
