so it is legal to throw Pickens to the ground - horseshit I know he slipped first but was getting up when the defender smacked him in the helmet and pushed him to the ground

nice drive after the pick...nice to see passes on 1st down and the dumpoff to the RB over the middle to pick up the 1st...

Odd seeing so many passes on 1 down

odd seeing passes short over the middle taking advantage of gaps in the defense for big 1st downs

Beautiful pass to CAIII for 6 (he had a nice game but took a couple of huge hits...hope his is okay)

after the first drive - the Steeler D was weak as hell in the first half...then TJ with a big strip sack, TO for the Steelers

nice drive at the end of the half....should have used a TO sooner and taken a shot at the endzone....still big points and the ball coming out for the 2nd half

48 total points in the first half??? what the ****?

nice drive out of the half...******* ruined by a stupid penalty and a blocked FG

Heyward had a huge game TFLs, sack, tipped ball ended up as a pick and the 4th quarter just started

bungles #75 jumped early damn near every play

d just couldn't stand up and make the end less stressful

JPJ could have iced the game with a pick but slipped through his hands

JPJ getts called for everything and Pickens can't buy a ******* call

where has this offense been> passing on 1st down, passing over the middle, dump offs to RBs over the middle for easy first downs, screen passes...holy **** who knew all that stuff was still legal

fields ends the game with his legs

Love Victory Formation

44 ******* points what the hell 37 by the offense 82 total points

Huge win for the Steelers

Great game from the oldest two Steelers-Russ and Heyward. Watt stepped it up with big plays, another INT for Jackson, terrific push from the offensive line.

Porter may have had one of the worst games I've ever seen from a DB. I think he knocked everything off the bingo card for DB penalties.
 
I really liked what the offense did. Wilson over 400 yards 3 tds.


What i hate more than anything is that ****** ******* zone that gets the other team back in the game.

Be aggressive and kill them. Just like you did with the fire zone blitz.


The pick 6 by the bungles was bogus. Did Pickens **** one of those guys daughters or something?

I'm happy and angry,but mostly happy..lol.

The offense is on the right track. They need to stay consistent.
 
Ridiculously bad officials. But at same time you cannot do the **** they did including a clock stopping holding penalty. Like that was beyond egregious stupidity. They could have ball back with over a minute.
 
Whether Porter got away with a lot last season or his technique has slipped, he's going to have to adjust how he plays. It's clear that officials are not going to give him any leeway going forward.

He's definitely a question mark right now.

It seemed for much of the game that the pick 6 was going to end up costing them, but fortunately the defense got a score of their own to offset it and they definitely needed it.

The pass defense continues to be suspect. Despite forcing the turnovers today, how they played overall against Burrow does not give me a ton of confidence in how they would match up against Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen or a healthy Justin Herbert in a post season matchup.
 
Man, the offense looked good, but the Bengals defense is trash, so it’s hard to get too too excited. Definitely shows the potential that is there. The way they used the backs and tight ends today should give them at least an idea that they can be far more successful on offense than they have been.

While the defense made some plays, I thought they were mostly soft against the pass. They were still ft against the run to start, then clamped down pretty good.

Pickens and porter need to start acting like choir boys because they both have reputations and they are going to get called.

Anyway 9-3. Didn’t think they’d be here when the season started. I’ll definitely take it.

Lol....


Or you can find another team. I don't care either way. This is America....this is a message board. I never tell anyone to **** off.....but I am close to telling you too. In the end I will refrain....that would be a silly thing to do on a message board IN AMERICA. No? 🤪

Us rushing 4 and throwing a zone behind it has been brutal. Especially with against above the line QB.
 
Russ had the best game for any Steeler QB since 2018. Pretty close to a perfect game from him I thought. A couple series you could see they were happy to go for a FG. I thought the coaches had a great day with the offensive play calling. Pickens took away 30 yards with his lack of discipline. In let’s face it.a horrible defensive effort Cam Heyward had a game. Joey had a miserable game. We need him to bounce out of this going forward. Cam Sutton was not that great. Either was Fitz.
Joe Burrows and the Cincinnati offense can move the ball. So those TO’s were huge. We are going to play some teams that know how to move the ball. They’ve got to tighten up. The OLine had a very good game. And Naj ran hard.
This was a huge win for us.

Porter was bad for that at PSU. He got away with it a lot in college. Been screaming about him all year but my TV never seems to listen. :ROFLMAO: He seems to have regressed.

The Pass D was where I figured the Bengals would run away with this game.

Fortunately the Bengals D is one of the worst in the league.

Russ played all but a perfect game. Props to him. OL played great. Running game opened up with the passing game thriving.

Today's game's issue was....the defense. Very below the line type of effort.
