That was a terrible play design by the Bengals and I thank them for it. It was ridiculous to put a tight end one-on-one with Watt.
Why did the Bengals wait this long to get back to the run?
I was very wrong and I will sit here and exult in my wrongness. Great play to push the lead to three scores.
Can the offense come up with a dagger here? Would you take a shot deep or just keep pounding? I say maybe and keep doing what they have been...
That's what Heyward and Tuitt need to do, but also solid work in the secondary.
That is a very good point. Now let's see them keep it going tonight, then realize they can't just do the same thing next week against the Ravens.
I know the Bengals' run defense is terrible, but this is still very good to see.
First and goal from the one and Billings is hurt. The Steelers have to score a touchdown here.
Hell of a run by Conner! (Was I the only one thinking that ball was going to pop out?)
I still don't like that trade, but that was a hell of a catch by Vannett. :)
Rudolph took good advantage, but the Bengals blew that coverage badly. The offense just can't take a stupid penalty like that after getting some...
Of course. The running game was finally rolling and Conner is hurt again.
I want to see a replay of that kickoff. It looked like it went out before it reached the end zone.
Or it is a bad design asking him to block a linebacker, especially when he looks like he is hurting two plays earlier.
The defense needs to step up again here and allow the Steelers to take this seven-point lead to halftime.
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.
