the Rooney's "built this league" so that means they are allowed a bit more flexibility when it comes to this kind of stuff

Time to step back out and watch the 2nd half. 

Yeah it’s the usual BS in here. Idk how some of these guys stand watching football much less the Bengals. I mean I am miserable after a loss but I wait until it’s inevitable or already happen. These people are miserable from one bad play even if we’re way up because uh oh here comes a classic bengals meltdown

Line hasn’t been horrible

Guys are getting beat but Joe has good time in the pocket

He’s just off

It’s all lip service until they step up in the NFL command center with the ability to call a flag after a play where there’s clearly illegal head contact.

From last year . PITTSBURGH IS CONTROLLING
THE TEMPO !!!

To be fair we had much more swagger in second halves.

Scharping is a proven guard when it comes to pass protection. He's decent. It's the strength of his game

Volson is a terrible pass protector

I want to see Max Scharping start the second half. Cordell Volson will be great — but not today.

Maybe Mike Brown needs a tax write off for next season. LOL

The competition was between Volson and Carman. Carman looked like garbage and Volson merely looked like a below average player.

So he won the job due to lack of competent competition.

based on?

lets leave emotions at the door

Shades of KC ladies and gents. Shades of KC.

That's all we can hope for...

We are getting beat like a rented mule

Imagine the bandwagon fans that paid big money for nice tickets to see this first half ?

Here are my LVPs for the first half.

Offense - Burrow.
Volson gets an honorable mention

Defense - Hendrickson. Where are you?
No pressure against an O line that is not supposed to be good??

We didn’t change the fact that we were a 2nd half team last year. Hopefully we still have that in us lol

Has the Blackburn suck off train derailed yet?

Really hate how we’ve taken FGs when we’ve been close

Games like this are gonna kill any chance that Mikey pays all 3 WRs

I just realized Iv never seen Burrow fail

Smh

Sorry, a three and out was not the answer we were looking for.

I'm so annoyed that we're back to the run run pass punt offense...
