The Steelers game is just too big for this team. The game is over before it begins because the team goes mental, and it shows with all the costly mistakes whether it be turnovers or penalties. 3 things I am sick of watching in Bengals-Steelers games though:
1. Big Ben having all damn day. I think he was pressured maybe just 2-3 times tonight, and we can just forget the word sack. The d-line is a joke and we need a legit pass rusher or two to come in.
2. Pitt receivers running free. Even the announcer was getting sick of watching Steelers WR running rampant on the same routes all game. At what point do you make an adjustment?
3. Horrible officiating. Not that it matters because we still would have lost but it gets annoying playing the Steelers and the refs. Watt sack drove down right on Burrow with zero attempt to roll off to the side, yet no flag. Tyler Boyd makes an incredible catch which on replay clearly shows his right foot gets in, only to be upheld as incomplete. Flash forward one play where our ST actually makes one nice play and forces a fumble, oh wait forward progress was called, or was it....never heard the whistles blow to signify forward progress. Holding call on 2nd and 2 on Alex Redmond. The call happened so fast I thought it was a presnap penalty, I never knew a hold could happen that fast.
No matter how you dissect it Bengals-Steelers games are just unbearable for us Bengals fans.
