***Week 13 GameDay Thread - Steelers @ Bengals***

Offense has to play perfect for this team to have a chance. That fumble killed us. Not sure our offense can over come this with this D.

That’s not an option, we tank either way

But I do know that.  Did Hudson run in there and snap it?  No, he ran in there and started to bark signals.  Had we intended to snap it, it would have happened the moment he got under center in order to maintain the surprise.

Not currently -- but in my time travels, I saw that they do pretty okay in 2032. 

The stadium then sucks, though. NO ONE is going to like the AI bathroom attendant.

Depends on what tanking entails. Wouldn't Burrow want off a team that loses on purpose?

[RunKijanaRun]

Lose today, and it’s 1000% time to tank. I will be pulling for a loss in every game. And for every coach to be fired. Every single one.

[jfkbengals]

Holy shit! Dude that hit Lawrence that late should get suspended...

Offensively 15 passes to 7 runs. The 7 runs are getting over 10 yards a pop. Yet on third and 1 they do a weird pass play instead of getting under Center and doing an old fashioned sneak.

If you haven't beaten a team with more than 3 wins all year, and then you lose out, you aren't tanking you just suck.

We'll probably beat the Titans still.

I feel like this is 98% a coaching problem. If the guys are just not following instructions, then you pick up somebody on the practice squad or off the street that can and it gets better by default. There’s no possible way that every player on the defense is that bad talent wise. The combination of poor scheme and no accountability at all.

[Timanky12]

We had 3rd and 1 yard and we attempt a pass, then we try to get them to jump off sides on 4th down. We have no asemblance of a functioning offense and don’t know when or how to operate.

And now the Texans are going to win for sure as well now

[Timanky12]

Anyone know the Buffalo Bills meassage board website, I’m about to jump ship?

Lawrence is 2-7 and a QB rating in the 80s. I wouldn't have put money on the Jags to win even with Lawrence.

Good to see the Jags willing to brawl for their guy, though.

[TKUHL]

Anyone see Lawrence get leveled.

[Joelist]

What the offense lacks is a true identity and an actual consistent system. They try too often to be cute. Ever wonder why our receivers are always in coverage and opposing receivers are always wide open? On the offensive side it is because our route trees are old and stale - everyone knows them - and add to that the incredibly predictable play calls from Zac.

I don't think they will.

Callahan knows our personnel and playbook intimately.  He knows every plays strength, weakness, and intent.  He also knows Taylor's tendencies and rationale for every situation we'll encounter.  Pretty easy to tell the DC what to run in such situations and shut us down.
