Steelers vs Bengals Game Thread

Down by 14 in the 4th quarter and that's when the Stillers decide to run the ball on first and second down.

Snell will end up being one of the few bright spots on this offense tonight. Predictably next week will get 4 carries for 6 yards.

 

[pittbb80]

Nice Loooong drive. Just what the dr ordered.

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

It is about time they went to Claypool. Keep using him.

 

[BFo8]

Not a lot of urgency on this drive. Taking a loooonnnggg time.

 

[anon_4dfwm2pijbr0a]

wow, fichtner, you're just as bad as that moron whipple. what kind of dumb ass call is that

 

[PittAU]

OL is terrible.

Yup. Fichtner is a moron

el oh el, fichtner is so dumb. great 3rd down run call. what a loser.

 

[pittbb80]

They are acting like they are up 14

 

[BFo8]

Bailed out there, no way that would have been completed.

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

They keep giving Claypool a cushion. Just keep going to him.

Should have gone for two there.

 

[happjack]

So Tomlin will have 2 Tomlin's in 3 weeks. Washington and Cincy. Thanks for your year in, year out consistency against poor teams Mike.

I wouldn’t consider the Washington loss a Tomlin Special, WFT has a great D.

I don’t think it was a conscious decision, am assuming the thought never crossed his mind.

like pinnock celebrating when down a million or acting like he's a hero when the guy he is covering drops a can of corn.

 

[4Mark_Marty]

Boswell wins it in ot

 

[anon_4dfwm2pijbr0a]

need a turnover

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Oh, I think that's almost guaranteed.

I’ve seen them discuss this the past two MNF games now. Analytically, what would be the advantage to going for two down 14? Obviously you can win the game if you get the second TD, but would that be a risk worth taking when our offense has struggled in short yardage situations?

 

[BFo8]

Haven’t tackled all that well tonight either, their guys keep falling forward after contact.

 

[pittbb80]

Lol. Just when you need the D to make a stop they turn into Swiss cheese giving up yardage on the ground

 

[anon_4dfwm2pijbr0a]

Bengals o line is so much better than the Steelers

 

[PittAU]

now it is on the defense.

 

[pittbb80]

Good thing the Steelers O took soo much. Time off the clock

 

[Phillypanther2]

Boswell wins it in ot

Nope. Bengals are the better team.

 

[BFo8]

Probably should’ve taken a TO after first down.

 

[anon_4dfwm2pijbr0a]

Bungals, being the Bungals...I wouldn't entirely rule out them throwing the ball here on 3rd down in some stupid and silly play call.

 

[pittbb80]

Game right here. My guess is Finley will beat them in the edge with another option run

 

[pittbb80]

Nice play by Fitz

 

[anon_4dfwm2pijbr0a]

Minkah is really good.

I gave a fuller explanation in the thread about the Florida - Alabama game the other night but essentially if you go for two you increase your chance of winning if you score the second touchdown from 50% to 62.5% if you go for two.

 

[PittAU]

still time to get it done.

 

[NCanton Panther]

Good thing Fitzpatrick came up to make that stop because that was 2 plays in a row TJ went full bire towards the RB not even remotely acknowledging Finley might keep it and take off.

 

[anon_4dfwm2pijbr0a]

Credit to the Bungals, no prevent. They're being aggressive

 

[PittAU]

two plays to get 10

Interesting, would’ve never known that.

 

[pittbb80]

Dumb pattern. Everything was outside

 

[pittbb80]

WTF. You need first downs and your going for home runs. Moron

 

[PittAU]

throwing into 4 orange shirts

 

[anon_4dfwm2pijbr0a]

that kinda looked like PI. Looked like he smacked down on Claypool's arm.
