I think we are going to drop this game against the bengals…

I voted for effortless win. I should have known better. Tomlin never knows how to put a team away. The opening drive was just a fluke. Flacco was brilliant with his methodical passing game and the Steelers defense was nonexistent. TJ Watt was the same as Myles Garrett last week. A total non factor. Cam Heyward should have stayed home. JPJ can’t cover without PI. Tomlin will have nightmares of Flacco for years. I don’t know how I could be so stupid thinking that we could run over a terrible Bengals team.

 

I agree with most of this except the fluke part. A team doesn't score 31 points if the first drive is a fluke. The offense was certainly not the problem.

 

They should have buried the Bengals on the second drive but somehow a muffed up flea flicker found itself in the field of play. The entire momentum shifted right then and there. Bengals started scoring at will. Defense was Swiss cheese. Flacco was carving up our secondary like a pumpkin on Halloween eve.

 

Not hard to see it coming. Was hoping for the first part, knew the second part was coming :/

 

Most of the ESPN talking heads on First Take and Get Up picked Bengals to win yesterday. Likewise with First Things First crew on FS1. It's not just Cowherd.

I hate when I have to agree with the talking heads on sports shows predicting losses for the Steelers.

Damn, we need a new coach.

 

I`m guessing Thursday night games see underperformance by the visiting team.

Wonder if there is a stat made about that.

 

I did not think that we were going to lose to a very bad bengals defense. After the Steelers first drive I was convinced that we were going to win easily. The flubbed flea flicker changed every single positive thought I had up to that point. It was so bad I shut the damn game off in the 4th qtr and went to bed knowing somehow, some way the Steelers would lose the game. Seeing TJ get chipped over and over and over play after play after play without doing anything different was just too frustrating to watch. Tomlin should have been fired long ago! I’m not even looking forward the next game cause I know it will be more of the same. Standard is the standard and the standard stinks!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yeah, Packers are gonna run and throw all over us. Rodgers will be motivated... but we won't be able to match Love/GB offense and their really good no-name WRs.

 

Those receivers aren't Chase and Higgins. Love is overall better than Flacco, but he is not nearly as good at being patient and making quick reads, two attributes that were huge factors last night.

Of course, the Packer are much better defensively.

 

The same Green Bay that only scored 10 points against the Browns
