My thoughts on regular season wk 13

To be fair,outside of their best player who is a pass rusher,the rest of the defense have very few talent

 

Excellent observations once again Black and Gold.

 

Your thoughts mean nothing. A win is a win.

 

How many teams are going to fall for that??
I hope they all do

 

Anyone see Jones trying to run down that bull$hit pick 6?? That big boy can move.
I was like

 

One of the best case scenario for the steelers for the end of the season is that the game vs chiefs(on the 3rd game in 10 days) don't mean much in the standing,so the steelers can rest their starter in that game!

Need to beat the browns and ravens for that!

 

So glad we traded for him lol

 

Seriously. No way that should have worked, but the Steelers deserve a break after the gifts the officials gave the Bengals today.

 

The defense was not good today. They have some serious issues. Sure, a couple of the calls were bogus, but Porter was terrible. The blown coverage on Chase to set up the Bengals' final touchdown was inexcusable. If not for three great individual efforts, the Bengals might have scored 50 today.

Don't get me wrong. Those individual efforts matter. Heyward was great all day, including tipping the ball Jackson intercepted. Herbig and Watt both made great plays on strip sacks. Other than that, the defense was a sieve.

 

Watching game late and how many times do we give up 3 and forever for a first down by playing way off. 3rd and 21 and it was like a routine play and move the chains for cincy. On that distance send the sink and for e the ball out asap.

just shows how bad the bengals D is.

 

Yes hopefully we don't think a disciplined team will fall for that when it really counts.

 

I don’t like taking Russell Wilson off the field, after the day he had, and in that massive of a moment in the game.

I really think this Fields package will eventually bite us in the a$$.

I wish we had more clarity on Mike Williams’ role.

TJ made some big plays, but it still seems teams have stifled his outside pass rush. They need to find other ways for him to rush the passer, and not just lining him up on the other side.

 

bengirls were without their top LB. this shouldn't have been this close. we ain't there yet. good win but............

 

I liked how the commentators were saying Cinci should have every man focused on Fields. Everyone knew it was going to be a keeper. Then... only on LBer was actually on Fields, and even then had to reroute to tackle him. Bizarre.

 

And the poor effort of Mccormick?

 

I for one, still believe that Mt. Washington should get more targets.

 

Let's not forget about the 4th and 1, where the Steelers clearly jumped first, but somehow the flag was thrown on the Bengals.

 

I thought Zac Taylor's head was going to literally explode on that call. The officiating this season over the entire NFL is the worst I've ever seen.

 

The Bengals had 231 yards through 3 quarters, once the Steelers went up by 14 they went to zone defense. The Bengals had 144 yards in the 4th while the Steelers were giving up underneath stuff to prevent a quick strike score. Saying the defense was a sieve is painting with a broad stroke

 

The fact that that the Steelers responded after that pick six is an excellent omen. This is championship type of football. Most of you can't remember the 70's, but this is the type of response those teams had. I sometimes felt sorry for the opposing team after a terrible call, because I knew the Steel Curtain was going to bring the hammer

 

That was the refs making up for not calling a penalty on the opening pick 6

 

many points in prevent D.

had foot on their throat, then SAT BACK
