Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Cincinnati Bengals - 2nd Half Open Thread

As I suspected, we're in for a fight. I think we have the upper hand, but another mistake or two (Limas! Cmon rook!) and the Bengals will be right there until the end. Ben's had some good moments, completing 10/17 with a TD in the first half. No surprise, Santonio finds himself having a nice game against the Bengals, and credit Arians for getting Heath involved a bit. The running game's been a joke though, with too many of our runs coming on slow-developing plays on the slippery track.
Let's go Steelers! 1 half from 8-3...

Stupid fucking penalty negating a huge play. Goddamnit. BTW, that was definitely a pick by Washington. But it was stupid bc. Hines was going to come open anyways and he zeroed in directly on the LB instead of just appearing to inadvertently get in his way

no doubt. great game by aa smith. nice game by william gay, too. potsie had a ton of tackles, and a couple of big ones on short yardage plays. the line played well (at least in pass-blocking), ben played great, and mewelde and russell played well.
stupid mistake by sweed. bad drop by hines. willie looked tentative. i really want ryan clark to start wrapping people up when he tackles them.
in general, i would say that the steelers once again demonstrated that they are a tougher team than the bengals. great victory. 8-3. now time to rest and watch what the other teams do this week and then prepare for new england. great game on a short turn around.

Really nice to see
Russel and MM play together. Although the only reason they traded carries in the fourth is that Willie was hurt. I really would like to see the development of a three headed monster out there.

Ugg.....not much entertainment value in that game..
although the result was nice. We were spoiled by the last two Thursday night games which were exceptional. Awful team, awful field, awful conditions. So bad the bartenders at the pub switched over to a hockey game at the end of the first half.
Hard to take much from the game, it was like an exhibition game where only one team uses it’s first string players. The real tests are coming up in the next few weeks.

Come on Robert
Enjoy it! Its all entertainment. If you suffer even when we win by 17, you might as well switch to ice-skating or bowling or something.
i thought it was a good game. Close enough early on and then we dominated. Remember that this bad team played even with the Giants – tied Philly and beat Jacksonville.

I wanted to watch the whole game..
..but the consensus around me was that it was a hopeless clunker. I just got glimpses of the second half, but it seemed like the Bengals had quit by that point. I can’t think of any point in the game where I was really caught up in the action. Not compared to the Jets/Patriots game the week before.

This one
Isn’t going to be re-run on the NFL network as an instant classic, but I guess as an obsessive fan, I like watching my team play and just really seeing how they do, who steps up, etc. I feel like for me I can watch them play a clunker because you see who shows up and battles.
In contrast – sometimes I have a hard time watching some of the supposedly “good” games where both teams score at will and neither team really plays defense. Not saying that Jets Patriots was bad at all – just saying – I like watching my guys play – especially when they win.

I have to take exeption to
Blitz’s continued opposition to Ricardo Coclough (sp $*#@^ it!). RC could have out punted Ernster this game! Who is this joker?
