No doubt. 

It's weird to watch a game against the steelers and the weird penalties are going against them and the Bengals defense is the one giving out the hits.

He escaped what looked like a sure sack. That was sorely missing the first couple weeks.

We're up 7. Why fuss?

Need to make it a 2 score lead.

In that situation, they're usually guarding the sidelines. There was plenty of time to complete one across the middle then clock it for a FG. That pass was a little short though, about the 46 yd line. 

I liked the play though.

At half time I hope Lou Anarumo locks Zac Taylor in the locker room and lets Joe Burrow call his own plays.

Stats at the half:

Burrow 7/9 111 yards 2 TD 1 INT
Mixon 7 rushes 44 yards 6.3 yards per attempt
Chase 2 targets 2 receptions 49 yards 1 TD 34 long
Boyd 5 targets 3 receptions 31 yards 1 TD 17 long

JAX with the rare Kick 6

One thing that has to be said about Burrow is that he does not continue to be affected by a bad play. Threw that pick then came back with great plays after

[*pally*]

it is probably nothing but....

It would have been interesting to see a 63 yrd attempt.

would love to see our TE get involved in 2nd half.....we have one of those right? some play action and boom to TE for quick 10 to 15 yds

In case anyone cares: We're kicking Europe's ass in golf

[NUGDUKWE]

Come on lets see a good drive to start the half

They will get Burrow killed if the offense continues to telegraph their plays. Being up by 7 doesnt excuse the awful offensive gameplaning two weeks in a row.

Because Zac Taylor. No lead is safe with him on the sideline.

[bengaloo]

Mixon is beasting.

Well, I mean, we could be up more.

Burrow doing a good job checking out of a shot play there to a run.
