Need this game badly.

So by 4pm were either in prime position for the division/playoff run or pretty much out of the playoffs... this is as big a game as we've had in a while and i cant wait. FYI Archer was put on the inactive list so no worries of his one carry up the gut today. Glad we have so much depth at RB that he doesn't need to play.

Steve McLendon NT, Ben Roethlisberger QB, Ryan Shazier ILB, and Ike Taylor CB are all starters for the Steelers who have had injuries or rumors of injuries that are playing today.


On the other hand the Cincinnati Bengals get back WR A.J. Green from a thigh injury....not sure we have anyone who can cover him.


Don't like seeing Harrison on our inactive list.
Concerned about depth at RB, but at least with archer on inactive list we won't waste all those plays running him up the gut.

terrible 3rd down call on opening drive. Throw was short of the LOS (so 6 yards short of the 1st down line)
stupid WR screen and all the blockers got beat.
and the WR was #10 not one of our pro-bowl caliber play makers.

[thesteelhammer Profile]

CB's playing way off and bengals driving because of it

[thesteelhammer Profile]

thankfully Bungels drop a pass that hit TE in hand.
Bengals fumble on fake on 4th. 4th down fumble rule saves steelers bacon

[thesteelhammer Profile]

THIS IS SHAPING UP TO BE A GAME OF WHO MAKES FEWER MISTAKES VS. WHO BEATS THEMSELVES

[thesteelhammer Profile]

would like to see us run to the left rather than the right behind weak Adams

[thesteelhammer Profile]

Did the bengals really just go with a 3 man line on 3rd down?

[Pump-N-Iron Profile]

If anyone is keeping track, we just lost 20 yards on that punt exchange... without Cinci getting a 1st down. Wing blows!

[thesteelhammer Profile]

2 first downs in a row when we run Bell left

[thesteelhammer Profile]

so we go back to the right and lose yards

[thesteelhammer Profile]

another 3rd down and we throw short of the LOS and don't convert

[thesteelhammer Profile]

Bengals should just throw at IKE all day. Playing off so much can get 7 yards every time.

[Pump-N-Iron Profile]

Continuing that stat line... Wing punts from the 50 to the Cinci 15. Cinci gains 15 and punts to our 25. Net loss in yardage due to piss poor punting = 10. Total for the game so far net loss of 30.

The punting is poor. So is the coverage though

Nice to see the steelers get the TD rather than settle for a FG

[Pump-N-Iron Profile]

PAP on 1st and goal from the 1/2 yard line. It's a freaking miracle!!! and OMG we scored a TD instead of a FG!
