Against a division rival. Yah,

At some point you have to accept what this team is. They have enough talent to get hot and beat any team in the league (like the playoffs last season), and they are capable of losing to any team in the league due to their unbelievable inconsistency. Very likely they will end up 1 game below or 1 game above .500.

If they go down 10 they are in big trouble...

So their defensive line is bad? I would replace all four of our defensive line players and take theirs and anybody that disagrees doesn't understand football. They're doing whatever they want offensively and this great defensive line can't get a sniff on the quarterback too so you tell me.

Bengals Defensive Line needs to play better.

The most the Steelers have scored in a game is 23 points....against us week 1. Through 1 half they have their second highest scoring output at 20. How has this not been bad?

Sure is! Stands there for several seconds every snap with zero pressure and throws to wide open players. Lou should be ashamed of this performance. 

We’re not going to be allowed to win today. Even if we were playing a fairly officiated game, they still wouldn’t win.

Well...the second half is basically going to dictate the season. Bengals lose this the season is toast.

It would be...
1 to Trubisky
1 to Pickett

Not that it's much better.

They won't

Overall a very disappointing first half. No running game even though many thought that issue was solved after the Panthers game. No pass rush to be seen. Giving up 20 points to a shitty offense in the first half. Depressing. But it isn't over. Hopefully the Bengals wake the hell up during half time.

Pickett didn't play game 1. 

The draft has to add an extra pass rusher or two.

This is the mike White game all over again.

Then say hello to the season that wasn't...if you can't tell the difference in our secondary, you really need to visit an optometrist...

We need a few sacks … badly.
