He's no Jeff Triplette.....thank God

Dwyer with a nice run.

Now it is after that run.

Bengals should get the ball back with 34 seconds left....hopefully inside the 20

Dwyer/Rainey.....I like

WE DEY!

LOL those challenges

Same old story. Defense does just enough but the offense blows it.

Steeler D with a big comeback this week. Very clutch late in the game, while I was dying inside with each failure by the offense to widen the lead. Good guys won though. Can't take any of those for granted with the way the team's been this year, especially late in games on the road.

First challenge was fucking retarded. Second one was a good one. Bal did move clearly but those are the breaks. We lost the game because we never got the ball to aj. Also the dumb interception off our linemans back was pretty shitty. Here's to a higher draft pick. Fucking marvin is getting on my nerves more and more.

That was a putrid offensive display from the Bengals. I'm at a loss for words. I figured 9 or 10 wins would get us in to the playoffs I'm questioning if we win 5 or 6 today.
Dwyer should play more and Heath Miller is just good.

5 or 6 might get them in the playoffs with how shitty the AFC is this year.

Neither of those teams is good enough to do anything in the postseason (if they make it). I know the AFC is struggling, but those were not good football teams out there tonight. Pittsburgh has a much higher ceiling because of the players who are injured and are slated to return, but even then I can't see their defense being able to make enough plays in the back end to stop a passing attack like New England or Denver.

The Bengals have offensive line issues in the middle and don't really have a solid running game to create playaction to give Gresham or a secondary receiver a clean route to run. This looks closer to a 5 win team than a 9 win at the moment, and given the schedule it will be difficult to get wins. I would think that may be enough to see the end of Marvin Lewis (despite that extension he signed in the off-season) but there is no logic to anything the Bengals do in the front office (or on the field for that matter).

Same here. I'd like to see Rainey all over the field.

Pittsburgh adjusted nicely after halftime....props to Haley. I felt he was sucking it up the past few weeks, but he called a hell of a game last night.
