Game Day Thread - Bengals vs. Steelers Part II

Nobody hates Kenny Pickett. He’s not playing well. He’s missing open stuff more and more each week. No, the play calling isn’t the best, but there are plays to be made that he is missing.
No where near why this team lost today. Not by a longshot.
 
Like Trubisky, he also isn't allowed to audible. Some of those 3 and outs in the 3rd quarter were dead on 1st down. If he could have gone to another option instead of the immediate dumb play call, we might have had a chance.
Canada is just too ******* dumb.
 
Every pass is to receivers circling back towards the QB. How about a flair route, a slant, etc.

NOT in our playbook or vocabulary.


Salute the nation
 
Well, is is the most points we've scored in a game this year, so there is that.
 
This is how it's going to be the rest of the season with this OC. The OL is subpar for any kind of running game or pass blocking on a consistent basis.

It's not going to happen. The defense plays in small spurts and routinely gets carved up running zone when they can't get to the qb. How many games have we seen with wide open receivers gaining 20+ yards a pop. If you add in a bunch of high arm tackling pads solo while guys watch, you get a bunch of points out up on you.


It's a mediocre team. It will be until they address the issues.

They don't change **** inseason, so just embrace the suck.
 
The team lost momentum attempting a flea flicker. Canada continues to try these cute college plays that professional players are exposing on a weekly basis. Must be nice to suck *** at your job and still be employed
 
Pickett was not the reason we lost this game. Not in the least. The D had some nice plays but gave up a ton of points. Canaduh sucked in the 2nd half. The OL sucked in the 2nd half. Those are the top 3 reasons we lost.
See like that is ludicrous right there. He refused to run the ball himself about 5 times in favor of a nothing throw. He threw about 6 passes that were just garbage. Like c"mon.
 
neither will staring down your receiver or over throwing wide open guys or throwing a pass when you RB forgot to take the ball with him on a running play
The play calling handcuffed him, the Oline handcuffed him despite his errors. Outside of Muth and Pickens the playmakers handcuffed him. He did enough to win the game if the circumstances around him were better. I know the kid isn't perfect but he is showing signs of improvement. The other mentions aren't.

I’ll agree with this.

He did not do enough. He did enough if he played like he did in the first half. He was terrible. C'mon.
 
Yes. He had a badass running game,badass line and a badass defense. He basically walked onto a championship level team knocking on the door. He put them over the top


Yeah my point was, as many have said, this Coaching staff are NOT putting this rookie in a position to win, but more importantly to grow.

Yeah. I hope Tomlin doesn’t ruin this guys career.
Kenny shows flashes. Unless he isn’t the guy for the long run
 
I’ll agree with this.
They were down their top WR yet the Steelers refused to double their second in line. Maulet showed his coverage inability today. One of the worse coached games I have seen in a while. They refuse to minimize their weakness and maximize their strengths. That is coaching 10 out of ten times. B b but Kenny. No b b but suck *** coaching. Again Ben isn't here to cover up stupid, that is showing itself more often than not. What is the high priced D doing ? That was a F performance. It doesn't matter where Kenny is on the list, he isn't 1,2,3, or even the 4th reason for the fail.

You mean Pickens, who dropped how many passes today? Including an easy TD.
