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

[*TheLeonardLeap*]

OJ Howard caught a TD. Is whats-his-name-scrub even active for the Bengals?

And hopefully the next half we do enough to win the game, but it is our second worst half of football for the next 2 decades.

Joe has a 43 QB rating. If he could just get up to 60…

You can give Tomlin a bad roster and he wins atleast half their games.

They spent a lot on their defense this offseason. So they have talent.

You think we'll get 2 safeties and a td?

Might as well put in some backups to see if one can at least WOW us.

Cordell Volson is having a better game than Jonah Williams...

3 ints and a fumble. The fumble could have been ruled an int.

His arm was never moving forward so technically a fumble.  But its immaterial, 4 turnovers in one half at home is pathetic

Earth to Lou Anarumo: Start hitting HARD!

I agree with you...but talented players have to show that talent. Everyone has an off game/day. etc...but this is KIND OF not how anyone was expecting this to turn out. THe Stoolers are certainly showing up. WTF is going on with US? TOTALLY out of sync.

Yeah, put the "other JB" in.

Or maybe Jonah still sucks ass and Volson is a rookie from a AA school?  These two are getting beat on 1 on 1's.

We have to live with Volson.. but Jonah needs to step it up.

Jonah doesn’t suck ass. He’s just slightly above average. That’s what he’s always been. At least before. Also having the worst person on the line next to you sucks as well.

[Rattler]

Steelers could rush 3 and still manage pressure against this pussified line...pitiful...

They succeeded. Took out Higgins. Successful strategy, I guess. At least that's the history with games against the Bengals. I thought it might be different with the NFL's focus on concussions.

I just stopped in to see how bad this place was burning. 

Time to step back out and watch the 2nd half. 

[reuben.ahmed]

We could have guessed that failure to stiff arm by mixon would result in a fg. We should just run the ball to the 50, let Evan kick it, and rely on the defense.

Actually there a number of inter divisional games going on in week 1.

you dont have to live with Volson

Scharping is a proven guard when it comes to pass protection. He's decent. It's the strength of his game

Volson is a terrible pass protector

Correct, Jonah is not out here earning his next contract…
