I wasn't anywhere near optimistic before the season started, and i'm not ready to throw the baby out with the bath water just yet.
Offense looks strong and confident in end-of-game scenarios. Defense has the players, they just need to do something about the scheme. They stepped up late against the Colts, Ravens, Falcons and Dolphins and fell a bit short against the steelers.

The difference being that Ravens are 8-7 in their own house against the Bengals during the same time frame. Not a great home record by any means, but sure as hell easier to digest than 2-16.

That’s a big difference. What are we 2-37 at Heinz Field West Under Marvin? It’s sickening.

Bengals don't have a HOF QB or the best WR and RB in the league though.
And the Bengals have done the Ravens when they've routinely had very good defenses. Look at what they're doing to everyone else this year.
It still sucks and is pathetic. The fact Pitt is always on top of their game against the Bengals says a little something about how they feel about them.
Five of the last seven losses to Pitt have been one score margins. And that's when you're getting their best.
I'm choosing to see half full.

It looked like the Steelers max protected most of the game. It seems like the ends should have been able to make some noise but it was mostly on the linebackers with the ends in "contain the pocket" mode. I really have to wonder if taking the LBs out at the knees was part of the scheme.
It's a game and I enjoy it win or lose. Win is a lot better, but letting a game ruin your day, or week, or Fall is a foolish waste of precious time.

Bengals are actually 6-9 at Heinz I believe. Much more respectable.

Nothing wrong with glass half full brother. My glass is half full of Bacardi at the moment.

We were a playclock rundown away from winning. If Green stayed in bounds on the catch that set up the TD, it was our game. Not too mention some shady but expected reffing. We got stealered. As usual they got all the lucky breaks and calls go their way. We are a good team though and should get better.

Heinz Field West = PBS in my sarcastic post.

Don't look now but KC isn't putting up a huge score against guess who.. We still have offensive fire power especially against lousy offenses.. Maybe we'll own KC.. You never know..

My bad brother, totally missed the 'west' part.
RE: Geeze, back away from the ledge.... - CJD - 10-14-2018
I think the frustrating part of this loss is that we'll almost certainly lose to KC next week cuz...lol...this defense ain't stopping Mahomes.
So we're basically 4-3 now.
Not a great record after such a promising start.

I feel better about their chances vs a good KC team on the road than I do against an average Steeler team at PBS.

KC’s d is really bad, a shootout win is probably our only chance.

Does anyone think Austin will learn ANYTHING from the way New England's D is punking Mahomes? I don't.

We never play well after a BYE, that could be an automatic loss. I could be wrong but I do remember the complains of 2 weeks to prepare and the result is a fat L.

I'm not confident that Austin can learn anything at this point. Dude does not seem to know how to call a defensive game plan to save his life.

Me neither. That would mean Austin would have to junk his beloved pillow soft zones and do things like the Pats are - putting someone man to man on Kelce to take him out of the game plan.

I am an assistant coach on my son's Pop Warner team and all the other assistants are Steeler fans. Looking forward to tomorrow's practice. :paul:
