You mean like the Hines Ward screen pass that usually happens within the first 5 plays.

3rd down defense has also been poor lately.

I think we will see the Steelers go no huddle tonight, they haven't done it at all since Ben returned and this would be the perfect game to use it. Pittsburgh needs to jump on the Bungals early, keep the pressure on and Cincy will give up.

lol....there isn't a player on Cincy's team with the sack to do that.

I think it might be closer than expected. The Bengal's can't play THAT bad every week can they?

I disagree with the idea that it's up to the defensive player to adjust.

That's a big error that they're making in all of this.

They're trying to make that a clear rule across the board because it just makes it easier to monitor.

But when one defensive player hits the guy into another defensive player, there is no way you could know where the strike zone is. It's clearly bang bang like we saw with the Collie hit.

I wish the media people would stop talking about the Steelers as the best team.

They haven't shown that IMO

Offense has a long way to go.

At least they will talk about the Steelers. The Ravens can't get mentioned to save their lives.

I have a feeling the Bengals will get a spark early.

Kick return TD or long pass for TD.

7-0 lead

Steelers may come back after that but I think the Bengals will do something to grab attention

this is the problem with the Steelers offense, though

you look at that right there and think they could score about 30 points tonight

but it will end up being like 23-20

I hope its an absolute beat down. Like someone already said....get up on them early and Cincy will quit.

corona does a good job with its advertising, I think

simple concepts but they know their target audience and it works

that wasn't very good playcalling by the Bengals

they were running it for good yards and then on 3rd and 1 went shotgun

I think they would've hammered it for a first

Nice preparation. Maybe someone will finally be canned after this game. Doubtful though.
