Over or under 42?

 

[ChargersOH]

I wouldn't be surprised if this game becomes a shootout.

Palmer is playing very well. Much will depend if Coles can actually hang on to the ball.

Cinci corners need a few picks for the Bengals to win, I think.

 

[NorrisB]

:broom:

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Steelers 27-17. I hate to seem like I'm selling Cincy right short as they've beaten my Ravens twice already, but Ben's playing out of his mind right now.

 

[Verbal Kint]

Over or under 42?

way under. 17-10.

 

[NorrisB]

this is gonna be a blow out, no pass rush at all from the steelers

 

[steelwind]

LOL!

 

[CrossEyed]

Thud.

 

[steelwind]

WOW Bernard Scott looks like a bright future ahead.

 

[derek245583]

LOL

 

[Sarnoff]

Isn't that like 6 or 7 games in a row they've given up a special teams or defensive TD?

 

[CrossEyed]

Fire the special teams coach.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Thud.

 

[FBGirl79]

WTH just happened???

 

[CrossEyed]

Thud.

You got hammered at home last week. Get over it.

 

[Sarnoff]

Is that a sack? If so, ugliest ever.

 

[knowledge dropper]

That silenced the crowd

 

[derek245583]

Granted, it probably wasnt going to make much of a difference, but why was tha play blown dead so quickly? If that was Roethlisberger, there is no way they blow it dead like that.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Thud.

You got hammered at home last week. Get over it.

You are like the biggest fish ever.

 

[CrossEyed]

That silenced the crowd

Don't get used to it.

 

[knowledge dropper]

Blame that on the holder. Tell me again why a rookie punter is holding?

 

[bbuster]

Not watching...why did the Bengals go for 2?

 

[CrossEyed]

Not watching...why did the Bengals go for 2?

They didn't. They fumbled the snap.

 

[bbuster]

ahhh...tyvm

 

[ChargersOH]

If they want to protect the QB, it needs to be two way street. If they are wrapped up, then call it dead.

 

[knowledge dropper]

Do the Steelers travel with their own officiating crew like the Harlem Globetrotters? Jesh. Horrible spot

I agree...its one or the other. But they clearly give Ben Roethlisbrger a little more leeway for whatever reason.

 

[CrossEyed]

Good call.

 

[Sarnoff]

Isn't that like 6 or 7 games in a row they've given up a special teams or defensive TD?

Settle down, Moulder. they fixed it on review.

You mean like the catch they gave the Bengals earlier that clearly wasn't 2 feet in?

 

[BobbyLayne]

WOW Bernard Scott looks like a bright future ahead.

Just curious - Caldwell having a decent return year, but is the reason Scott is doing kickoffs now because Andre is more involved with the offense with Henry out?

On par for officiating in the NFL. Not with a bias, just bad.

Polamalu out for the game.. Bad deal for Pitt.

 

[derek245583]

Troy doubtful to return.

If so, why didn't your all-world coach throw the flag?

So are you saying you think he had 2 feet in?

In all fairness the two feet in was REALLY tough to spot. The reason it wasn't challenged is nobody knew if it was right or wrong.The spot on the ball should have been an easy deal, and didn't require Marv even talking to anyone to throw the flag.

Bengals oline holding up real well.

The replay was pretty conclusive. The reason it wasn't challenged is that Cincy did a good job of getting the ball snapped quickly.

 

[NorrisB]

oh come on dont punt it

 

[Ghost Rider]

oh come on dont punt it

That's a no-brainer. 4th and that long is too risky against the Steelers defense, and you don't want to miss another long FG and give Pitt great field position.

 

[ChargersOH]

The replay in HD was pretty conclusive. On the field it looked like a catch, though. At least to me and I could care less who wins this game.The spot on the ball was just a terrible, awful call by the side judge.Comparing the two doesn't win any points in your arguments about officiating. One was an obvious bad call, the other was not.

My point was simply that bad calls go both ways. Most people seem to realize that. Except, seemingly, fans of teams who are playing the Steelers.

A Steelers thread and people already complaining about officiating. Shocker!!!

 

[CrossEyed]

Palmer missing Ocho a lot today.
