***PLAYOFF GameDay Thread- Steelers @ Bengals***

[Matt_Crimson]

Marvin's half time speech.

"Alright guys, we gotta come out and play better. Hill, there's some things you didn't do well that you're gonna have to start doing well next half. McCarron there's some things you didn't do well either that you can start doing better. Defense, you guys need to start doing that stuff better that you didn't do so well in the first half. Now lets go out there and start doing stuff better. Break."

[drgonzo]

God, I f*****g hate the steelers

[Brandon00151]

Time to get up our hopes and Marvin comes out like "You expected me to make adjustments at halftime? Giggle Giggle."

[*bfine32*]

The hit by Williams was illegal. If Mitchell would have done it to Eifert folks would want him ejected. Stop it

[Housh]

Gio has touched the ball what once from the RB position? Isn't he our best RB ypc wise? I'm tired of people saying the line can't block when we put Gio behind that same god damn line and he gets 5 ypc


Why is Hue so ********

I hope he takes the CLE job so we can get 2 easy wins every year

[swilson3828]

2 first down in the first half. LMAO! Do you hear that Hugh? TWO first downs in the first half. Bad weather or not that is horrible

It's crazy right now and our young QB can't handle it

No matter what Hue calls, if the QB doesn't see it or does see it and throws it 11ft into the air, it doesn't matter. Hue can't make the reads and throws for McCarron too.

Haha!!!  Yeah, because our running game looked so good in the first half and this team is known for it's second half adjustments and second half play in the playoffs.

[Shake n Blake]

Need to see the same halftime adjustments we saw against the Ravens. Offense came out firing in the 2nd half.

We love them too much to see this amount of talent wasted year after year.

But the receiver had established himself as a runner with 3 full steps after possession.  You can hit a runner ANYWHERE.

I have no problem with the rules the way they are, but I do have a problem with them not being properly applied.

Sometimes they've been great.
I haven't seen them in the 3rd Q yet today.
And I have to believe it will be better than their 1st 2, at least it better be.

[Brownshoe]

I wish we had Dalton. We would be killing the Steelers right now. McCarron is playing like how Brian Hoyer was playing earlier today.

Shoulder.. didn't leave his feet. What more you want? 

[Bengalholic]

In the previous 6 playoff games, the Bengals have been able to put up points in the 1st half, and the the O falls apart and can't buy a point in the 2nd halves. Maybe tonight, just maybe, that trend will be reversed...poor O in the 1st, then put up the points in the 2nd. Let's hope so!

[sonofstat]

we get the ball in 2nd half...like to see some Gio on the first drive and get some momentum..maybe go hurry up, need to wake up somehow

[jeremydc]

Not as bad as some of you make it out to be.

A few adjustments will make this competitive .

No, it wasn't.  He hit him with his shoulder as you are supposed to do.

This is probably 100% accurate...

[reuben.ahmed]

We make adjustments?
