Well, um, they haven’t...

They had 1 big run that helped stats. Before that Mixon was rushing for like 3 ypc.

I don’t see him giving it to us on anything but a tip drill INT that a Wr drops



He knows himself and knows all he has to do is not turn it over

Yeah, but he will.  The guy is a 1st QB off the board bust for a reason...right?

Burrow is going to have to throw the damn ball. The are not going to get much on the Squealer run defense.

He still is. He is at 3.6 YPC.

His OL is almost as bad as the Bengals

Can’t throw a lot with the D line in your grill

I...get it. My meaning was along those lines...LOL...

Would’ve been nice if there was someone there to pick that up and go the other way with it.

Dude has had time

Last year the line was collapsing onto him every play

He’s had horrible pocket presence today

[sloSTI]

Was he in bounds when the ball came out?

[Joelist]

He can't recover the ball from out of bounds?

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

ZT needs to get more creative and less predictable on O.

Would like to see Evans more on passing downs. Particularly with Tee out. Though Thomas has contributed.

[THE PISTONS]

Win or lose...keep your eye on the prize.

We have better social media presence than the Steelers.

Are you insane? Lol. This line is playing worst than last year..

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

Big play here Come on, D.

Time to start asking questions about Pollack?

I am not too worried yet. First real game together against a VERY good pass rush.  I suspect next week will be a lot better.

He’s costing us valuable yardage we have to make up.

Yes. I expect to see that creativity soon:
