Bengals at Steelers Game Comments

[Steelperch]

Run game lacks imagination again. Run blocking hasn’t been good. Backs haven’t been dynamic. Bengals run D is bad. Not a good sign for December football.

[Flanker]

First time I've seen Layne making a play.

2020 is definitely a weird year.

Jordan Berry has become a seriously quality punter.

Who’s laughing now o’line?

[Stosh-67]

Goddamit Randy!

Let Ben wing it.

Bury the Bengals and then work on the run game.

You fucking ass!

THIS.

I cannot believe what I just witnessed.

Maddening.
the only thing keeping this offense from becoming a top 3 in the NFL.
Is whats standing on the sideline or up in the booth

[Texas Black & Gold]

Geez, great punt.

Was that with the wind?

[Obviously]

Just say no to turtling

Agreed but for this game the object should have been to bury the Bungles and then work on tweaking the run game to try and close it out.

I do agree they better fix it...a one dimensional team won’t get past the Chiefs...or even the Ravens a second time.

[gpclay]

I guess it’s equally important to ease into the 2nd half.

Clearly, the Bungles are selling out to stop James Connor and daring Ben to beat them. Thank goodness Randy and Mike aren’t taking the bait!!!

[K_C_]

GO HOOSIERS!

So proud of this team!

BEAT OSU!

Reminder : 22- 7 steelers.

So you run a give up series?

Why?

I guess Tomlin is trying to figure out just what is the maximum blades of grass his team can defend.

[El Kabong]

Geez, great punt.

Was that with the wind?

I think, though looks like less wind than earlier.

[LakecrestSteeler]

I don’t think Spillane knows the Def Line plays. He is not in the alleys they are making.

He has been out of position a lot over the last 2 weeks.

Yeah his “playing over my head for a time until the starter gets back” expiration date is close.

That is on coaching in my opinion.

He has IMLB talent and speed. Seems like he just needs a crash course on the DEF Line stunts and crashes. The DL absolutely makes 2-3 alleys. It is Russian Roulette with 5 bullets for Spillane. Just jump in the alley’s they create and you will be on target 90 % of the time, then it is just an Oklahoma drill.

GREAT tackle by Watt.

[Kodiak]

We are begging Burrow to come back in this game.

That is 100% the Tomlin/Butler MO

[Boukman]

Tee Higgins = Travis Fulgham today.

[LakecrestSteeler]

GREAT tackle by Watt.

That is what we miss when he does the middle of the field rescue of Spillane.

[Stosh-67]

great catch

[Obviously]

That's a catch

[K_C_]

great catch

Gonna be tough to overturn from these angles.

[Jizz Mop]

Damn....did he have clean possession and second foot?

[LakecrestSteeler]

Catch.

[stillthere]

Should not be a catch but Al Riveron is a moron so probably a first down for Cinci.

[stillcajun]

Tee Higgins = Travis Fulgham today.

Yep and then they fade back into the bushes ala Homer Simpson after they play us.

[JJT07]

Damn....did he have clean possession and second foot?

I think the second foot came down, but not sure he has total possession.

[K_C_]

I have not seen an angle yet that says catch.

...basically because they haven't shown angles.

[Steelperch]

He was bobbling the ball, second foot was out, and I’m. Not sure he controlled it going to the ground. No way they overturn that.

[El Kabong]

Looked like a catch at first.

[gpclay]

Ball def moving coming down but I have to confess no idea what the “ground contact on the ball” rule on catches is anymore.

[Kodiak]

Defense definitely looked like it was relaxing on that series.....if this is overruled, hopefully they tighten up.

If CIN marches for a TD here, it will surprise no one. That's just how Tomlin manages the game.
