Somehow we lucked out there giving up only a FG.
Defense was awful on that drive. Zero pressure on a line missing its starting LT, letting huge holes open and blowing contain on a mobile QB.

Thing is Williams didn't have to do that. Luck was already being tackled to the ground, and Williams just went in head hunting since the only place he could hit was Lucks head. Just a dumb tackle on his part.

Considering how Luck has been gone for 2 season, and ANDY plus 2 season, this is very disappointing.

They should play flag football. TheNFL is a league of wussies now. If that was Dalton then no call I bet.
It was the right call, and you do not have to slide first.
Speaking of sliding, diving now is also considered giving yourself up...

To keep up the facade that we actually have a front office "that makes moves" instead of sleeping at their desks most of the time.

you can't expect guys who signed big contracts to actually play this season. geno has a kid to take care of nowadays. his excuse before was he gets double teamed and he has problem with oxygen intake in higher altitudes.

Happy to the wrong. But the way this "defense" is playing is discouraging.

First game, too soon to say, but... This isn't looking good.

Typical lack of discipline by our defense. He lead with his helmet on a qb on his way day. Penalty every time and an ejection most times. I told my wife he was lucky to not be ejected right before he got tossed

when burfict comes back .... he'll get ejected the first tackle of the game. maybe people were right, we should have tried to trade him, especially knowing people would get ejected for unnecssary roughness. Which the ref wlil call in the steelers favor.

Nah, it was helmet to helmet, but Luck didn't slide feet first. It was 100% a penalty, but it was also 100% them using the Bengals as an example since nobody cares about the Bengals getting treated fairly. Hence the total ignoring of a facemask on Dalton

I know people love to hate Burfict, but he plays hard. Williams on the other hand plays like he should be wearing black and yellow. By far the dirtiest player we have imo
