Agreed. I have a bigger problem with the execution than the choice to run. The play didn't develop quickly enough and Samuels danced too much.
How did that second-down pass play to Johnson take only one second off the clock?
Ugh. Smith-Schuster looks like he tweaked his back or his hip on that play.
I love the way Dupree came through, but let's not get carried away. The Bengals' left tackle sucks.
He had plenty of speed. Nobody blocked the corner.
If Smith-Schuster or Washington block the cornerback, that's a touchdown. Still, it's nice to see the line doing its job.
Damn. I wonder how much of that was a factor on the last drive. That means way too many snaps for Alualu and McCullers, who will both do nothing.
I don't mind Watt just falling on it, but he should have gotten up to run with it. Make the ref blow the whistle. Job one is to secure the ball...
Bud Dupree comes up huge! WTF!?
Next year's first pick, Fitzpatrick, has been invisible so far tonight. This would be a good time for him to step up and make a play.
Way to come up small, defense. The offense finally does something and they are giving it right back.
Now Heyward is out. Play the damn starters!
Dalton had time because Watt was held.
Wow. Mixon just obliterated Barron.
Why isn't Watt playing? He just had a nice, long break while the Steelers had the ball. He was dancing around after the stop on the last...
Were people really wondering if Gilbert could contribute enough on special teams to make this team? That was a hell of an open-field tackle on...
The defense needs a stop here. They can't afford to give the lead right back after the offense finally got it going.
What the heck is Canaday doing before each snap? Has he always wiggled like that? Isn't that a false start?
Then again, maybe they can just throw everything to Conner and Samuels all night. :)
They need to get the wide receivers involved. Smith-Schuster has one target so far.
