Awesome, no 2nd half turtling please

When was last time Steeler offense scored 27 in first half?

See, we were consistently behind... so we were aggressive on O.

Typically its not a shootout so we repress the O... if we get more than a score up, we try to run out the clock

As someone mentioned earlier....amazing how a pass first approach helps out an offense at times. Now the Bengals D is not great....but our O isn't great either. Today up to this point it does look impressive.

I'm still wondering why the pick 6 wasn't a penalty. Joey Porter get your **** together.

and for the love of God stop trying to tackle guys up high in the shoulder pads.


Other than that,keep scoring!

Little Cal Austin III is really developing into a very nice weapon. Kid took some viscous hits but hung in there.
As some have asked, where the hell is Mike Williams? Against this crappy defense I would think Williams would do pretty well.

I originally said we would need 30 to win. Looking like we might need 40.

Sadly you are correct. In the NFL today everyone goes out to try to score points but us....unless needed. The thing that happened though....us going aggressive put the Bengals to playing less aggressive.

I would have been surprised if the offense wasn't extremely productive today, to be honest.

I've been pretty high on Russ's play this season, and the Bengals defense is that bad.

Still think the pick 6 could end up costing them the game, as the Bengals offense is hard to stop and the Steelers pass defense quite frankly hasn't been good this year.

Maybe even 50.

Should have been a flag. Refs missed it. I am ok with Porter. He plays aggressive. He will get calls against him at times. I will never want to take that away from him. Hopefully he grows as a player and such infraction because less and less.

 

[SteelerFanRC]

Well I have already won 2 bets. Had both Warren and Freiermuth over 2.5 catches.

Hope the stillers can keep Russ around for another couple years.

This....hopefully our half-time adjustments on offense won't be run...run...run.....


Unless it works of course.

Our OL did one heck of a job for him. Russ looked pretty damn good out there.

He's going to have to improve his technique, with the way the league regulates play in the secondary.

His tendency to grab receivers was a big reason he fell in the draft. He was projected to be a top 10 pick at one point.

may cost $50 million per year

The little dump passes to the RB was a surprise so far today.

I think JPJ is average and a penalty machine to get to average.

 

[Steelersfan84]

Time to go in

 

[steelhurt]

Great throw Russ!

Yeah... that's the problem.
