***Week 17 GameDay Thread - Bengals @ Steelers***

Pitt's kicker looks scared to death.

[Atomic Orange]

We just can not not give up points at the half

[THE PISTONS]

Holding the Steelers to 3 points in a half is a good achievement.

[TKUHL]

Whoaaa Personal foul on Pitt!!!!!! Good lord why can't we cover a damn screen?

[*michaelsean*]

Outright record holders!

Yeah, it's like people who have never had a platinum record saying Justin Beiber sucks.  Where do they get off?

You would be too with the chance to set an NFL record...

[THE PISTONS]

Note to defensive ends: When you get an unblocked run towards the QB...it's probably a screen coming.

Think how you would have felt if you were thrown out there when you were 12.

Crappy linebackers will do that for you.

Most points given up in the 2nd qtr of all time. We were tied before that FG.

According to Sports Radar, that drop a few plays back was John Ross' 7th of the year.
Among receivers with at least 20 catches, he came into this game with a drop percentage of 23.1, most int he league. Next highest is 15.6 (Keelan Cole). #Bengals

I thought Dalton was the issue. Ha.

[THE PISTONS]

Bengals 6 1st Downs. Steelers 8 1st Downs.

That's an ugly half of football.

I thought it was the most points allowed in a year in ANY single quarter, not just 2nd.

[THE PISTONS]

Total Yards:

Steelers 141. Bengals 101.

Ugly 1st half.

Think it may be any quarter, period.

Hindsight is 20/20 but you have to wonder what the year would've been like if we did the Khalil Mack deal. It would be a lot to give up and maybe salary cap trouble but I could see us having won the division and having a homefield game against the Chargers in the first round of the playoffs. Is that worth two first round picks? I dunno...that is a lot in the long term to give up. Of course if we had won more games it would be a late first rounder...
