***Week 3 GameDay Thread - Bengals @ Steelers***

That was a weak holding call.

[*PhilHos*]

We finally have a great kicker and we don't even need him cause we're just going to score a TD to end the half.

Ben is a f*****g statue.

Also I have not been watching closely but how has Carman done? I know he had a penalty. But other than that has he played well?

He looks unsure even when he does buy time. He doesn’t trust his arm
Anymore.

Trey Hopkins is the same as he was but everyone else got better. I know Trey was injured but he needs to catch up.

Bengals were about to be in scoring range AGAIN. The refs had to do SOMETHING to help the Steelers.

It's a shame a holding penalty took away the opportunity for a 60+ yard field goal attempt but overall a really enjoyable half of football.

I'm not making any more comparisons than this one but...this is what Boomer used to do with Eddie Brown back in '88. It seemed like almost every game Brown was catching one deep for a TD.

14 to 7 Bengals at Halftime. But I've seen Bengals lead Steelers at many halftimes only to lose. When you play Steelers, you have to play the Entire Game or Steelers will come back and win. Bengals get ball to start 2nd Half. Do NOT go into a funk in 2nd Half as other Bengals of the past. THIS WOULD BE A HUGE WIN for the New Bengals.

Zac Taylor has to stop with a massive amount of formations on run plays and going empty to throw. His offense is so easy to read. Can I get some play action please? They have run 1 fake handoff and it was on that Chase bomb and it was barely a fake.

If you don’t notice an offensive lineman that’s good. He’s holding up well.

Gotta say, as a whole, the oL has done a pretty good job today. Still room for improvement and may just come with Carman getting more experience but definitely played well enough to win.

Well,...hope the 2nd half is as much fun as the 1st.

Haven’t noticed him other than the penalty so that’s a good sign.

[masonbengals fan]

Great catch by Chase.

Love it

Burrow isn't getting killed. Good enough for me.

Does ZT have a TE or RB screen in his playbook?
How about a pre snap motion with Chase going across the formation?
He has the imagination of a window pane.
Its imperative the Bengals put a TD on the board coming out in 2nd half. 

[NUGDUKWE]

Yeah i think ol is doing a good job so far giving plenty of time

[Au165]

We haven’t used any pre snap defensive line movement since the INT early, would like to see what else they have off that movement.
