***Week 1 GameDay Thread - Steelers @ Bengals***

[Timanky12]

This is what happens when starters don’t play in preseason, out of sink

[Tony]

Burrow is obviously not even close to 100%

[Bengalitis]

Burrow didn't even let the beer get warm lol

[Rubekahn29]

Well at least it’s early.

Agreed, maybe they should let Mixon run.

[NUGDUKWE]

Well worst case scenario.

[THE PISTONS]

Why would we go empty?

Steelers defense has some good personnel and a pass rush.

Protection wasn’t bad. Joe needed to get rid of the ball and not make a terrible throw.

Wake up

[Clark W Griswold]

I hear Buffalo played starters in preseason and Rams did not. I know Pitttsburgh did too. Is there really something to this?
They will be ok but coming out looking like hot garbage.

[GridironMonarch]

Ruh Roh...guess Joe got the black eye first.

Need to turn this around quick based on our "great" O Line and "renewed purpose"...it's like a game in Bizarro Stadium.

Exactly... INSANE!

[THE PISTONS]

Probably a little over confidence by the offense and coaches too.

Steelers have a great HC.

[Bengalion]

Gotta give Mixon snaps asap. Run the ball now.

[Bilbo Saggins]

The Steelers D requires patience.  5 yards at a time leads to points.

That was egregiously ugly; no question about it. Let’s run the ball for awhile. It’s raining anyway.

[THE PISTONS]

Now they'll probably run Mixon like 5 times in a row.

[*TheLeonardLeap*]

Mixon looked good, but man does he never seem to break through hand/arm tackles.

[THE PISTONS]

Nice cutback!

[NotBigzo]

Probaby the fact that they haven't had preseason snaps. Give them a bit to get acclimated.
