September 18, 201610 yr The bigger question is how the Steeler line NEVER held, never pushed AJ Green into the wall after he was already out of bounds, ruled CJ Yuzomah's TD catch out of bounds, and finally did not see Tyler Boyd's knee on the ground before the fumble. And they wonder why we detest them so much. Also missed a false start that even Fouts said was missed and that saying something for that homer. Also, our receiver getting laid out after the pass went by and Dalton getting drilled well after he threw the pass. Knocked his helmet off and Fouts said nothing.
September 18, 201610 yr I told a buddy of mine before the game that all the calls would be against Bengals and I was right. No moral victory.

September 19, 201610 yr I honestly thought the game was officiated overall consistent. Both sides had some calls go against them, and I think we got away with some holds and PI in the secondary. I can usually deal with calls or missed calls and not complain about it much. My biggest problem is the fumble, which they even reviewed and still got it wrong. In a game penalties will be called and missed. Replays that have clear visual evidence should not be missed. Thats my biggest beef with the game. Which it will be the same old story. The Steelers get the win and the Bengals get the after the fact apology from the nfl saying they got it wrong.
September 19, 201610 yr Never in my life have I been so mad at Andy Dalton. 18 is the best player on the roster. Feed him.
September 19, 201610 yr Never in my life have I been so mad at Andy Dalton. 18 is the best player on the roster. Feed him. 18 has to get open and Andy has to have time... Neither occurred at the same time very often today...
September 19, 201610 yr 18 has to get open and Andy has to have time... Neither occurred at the same time very often today... If ever, as a Bengals fan, I would prefer a 50/50 ball to a sack, AJ would be the receiver I'd trust.
September 19, 201610 yr 18 has to get open and Andy has to have time... Neither occurred at the same time very often today...I'd imagine the conditions were a nightmare to be terribly accurate with the football today. I think that was pretty clear and Ben, at least, has a reputation for doing well in inclimate weather. And he was poor at that today. Hard to believe 2 of the best WRs in the league couldn't muster 80yds between them. Imagine the $ you'd have made on that prop bet.
September 19, 201610 yr If ever, as a Bengals fan, I would prefer a 50/50 ball to a sack, AJ would be the receiver I'd trust. AJ was doubled all day and Dalton had very little time to set his feet or scan the field again... Dalton's decision not to force to AJ is the only reason our offense didn't turn the ball over... Andy should've had 1 INT that was dropped... Ben had 2 INT's and should've had 2 more that were dropped... It wasn't an easy day for QB's to throw the ball... Tough weather and tough pressure on both guys all day... Other guys gotta step up when Green is held in check... Gio did okay, Boyd had a good game... That was about it. Brown did virtually nothing for the Steelers today, yet other guys made some key plays... Plus, No Running Game again! Hard to fake a run and hit AJ deep when no one has to respect your running game... The Bengals have to get the running attack fixed ASAP

The weather and pressure from pass rush held AJ and Brown down today more so than Andy or Ben not looking their way or wanting to get them involved
