Steelers-Bengals game thread #AndTheCatsInTheCradleWithASteelSpoon

1-2...hey maybe we can collapse at the beginning of the season this year and catch on fire later down the stretch.... Here ,I'll pass the bong over.

I was trying to figure out a tune to finish out this game,,,you helped me find it S4E. Thanks!

 
OH please lets blame Ben....this team stinks the play calling stinks the coaches cannot coach one thing, lack luster concentration, but I give this team this they can tweet and look around and the coach has really nice glasses and he shakes hands with his buddies after the game really really well. Best news the game is over and we see whenver have we seen Bengal fans with banners hanging from the stands,, proud team we have.
But you're going to absolve Ben. Right.
 
Not sure how it is over reacting the offense has been terrible since mid last season and there has not been improvement. Now with injuries everywhere and a tough schedule, it will take a minor miracle to have this team competitive
Pay the $50 you owe. Do it for the team.

The only people that can be absolved are Harris ... well, just Harris I guess. Pretty much everyone else sucked. Coaches, players ... all of them sucked this game.
 
We're not very good right now, but folks will continue to expect us to be SB caliber then lose their **** when we play to our talent level. We are who we are - especially being decimated with injuries right now. We're not going to win a lot of games with the schedule we have, and by the time we get folks back, we may have dug too deep a hole.
Yep and the entire offense is super young… you know how guys come in, and have limited plays for a year or two and as they get more accustomed they expand their playbook… well thats half our offense right now.

Juju is the Experienced vet in the wr room… this offense has the bones of something that’s going to be good later… they need some wr speed and ben needs to practice more with those wrs…
 
Relax everyone. This year is gonna be a 180 from last. We're gonna suck in the beginning then run the table with 12 straight wins.

Ben won't be around by the time these young guys mature enough for it to matter.
 
You know what. I am getting so sick and tired of this type of thinking. Sure there’s a bit of overreaction. It’s always just wait....the team starts slow. Ben always needs time to get into the game.....blah ,blah ,blah. Excuses after excuses.
People that go to the games and bars and whatever,are paying big bucks. It’s not that they are losing,it’s the way they are. No spark. No drive. Big players disappearing. Not just Ben. The coaching blows. And has for years. Never even heard Cam mentioned today. Overreaction? Playoffs entry are lost by one game. Not that we will sniff that. Our schedule is about to get a lot tougher.
Kansas city is 1-2… we made a super bowl after starting 3-4 in 95…

Last year we started 11-0
The early season Doesn’t always foreshadow the way the season plays out… especially when injuries and rookies are a major factor
 
Canada was supposed to fix the offense. Sure, we picked Najee (which I love) and not an OL but his play calling is as bad, if not worse, than at the end of last year. The first half of our 1st game, I noticed JuJu in motion on every play. I thought, OK, something new. But, then the play call was still a throw at or near the LOS. Today, I think it took until the 2nd half to throw a ball more than 20 yards downfield. That should happen pretty much in the first series every damn week to spead the D out. After today, hopefully Ben's elbow isn't hurt again because he took a pretty big shot on it early in the game. And, our O-line has gotten worse in 3 games. In games 1 and 2, they weren't the greatest but did that without making stupid penalties. Today, they added in the stupid penalties we got all last year from our veteran OL. So, on the bright side, I guess our OL is now just as good as our OL from last year. But, Ben is getting hit a ton and won't be able to sustain that beating for an entire year. Tomlin, Canada and the OL coach better figure something out.
 
******* lucky *** ravens, no team has a lucky horseshoe up their ***** like that team. Its such bullshit, they shouldve been called for delay of game on that incomplete pass play before the kick. Play clock showed 0:00 for a good 3 seconds before the ball was snapped

on the only TD drive there were a few passes over the middle....where the **** did that go in the 2nd half? OH **** something worked, let's not do that anymore

Harris is going to need the ice tub after this game. He took some pretty big shots because he was put in bad situations. Bravo to him for holding onto the ball on some of those.

The rest of the team was a train wreck.

Claypool was put in some bad positions too.

They've been incredibly lucky with injuries.

The league loves it when lamar wins…

It it's an offensive looking offense with no flow,an OL that block for **** on the run or pass and a QB who is either stubborn as **** or can't throw deep for **** anymore. Every time I count him having 4-8 seconds to throw bad things happen. I don't see his wide outs getting much separation ever, but damn throw it away and live for the next play.


Again is this OL can't be middle if the pack good this year, this team will not go anyplace. It doesn't even matter what qb we stick behind center.
 
Greatest kicker of all time
When the Ravens brought him in as a udfa and they already had elam I was on here begging the Steelers to sign him the second the Rats cut him… cause we needed a kicker… but those dirty ******** kept him and probably won 30 games because of it
 
I missed the game today ..... I assume that was a good thing after viewing the stat lines and I see an old QB who is supposedly injured chucking it almost 60 attempts...
coaching at its finest .......not
