Steelers 28 Bengals 21

[16thBBall Fan]

Final tough loss the defense just could not get a stop or make a big play when they needed it.

Bengals left way too much time on the clock when they scored. Terrible clock management again.

The Steelers earned that one.

 

Great job by Big Ben and AB.

[Parrott]

If that's not offensive pass interference, there never has been.

 

He didn't even try to pretend to run a route...He just went blocked the guy.

The third and ten hold and Dre and the block down field on the TD by Brown. Does anybody remember Tomlin calling out the officials last week after their game? He got the calls this week when he needed them.

Great game to watch. Don't understand the positioning of the safety on that touchdown. If you are going to bring the house putting the safety over there gives you nothing.

Eh plenty of times Marvin manages the clock completely wrong. However, yes they left to much time. However how else would you have wanted them to handle that last drive? At what point do you think they should have something different? I mean they even ran a running play from the 4 in an attempt to make sure the clock keeps running. Do you want them to tell Mixon not to score?

 

I dont think they mishandled the clock at all. There was nothing they could or should have done different.

All we know how to do against the Steelers is put our hands around our throats at crucial times!!

[futurecoach]

I get it Pittsburgh was in field goal range. But it was going to be a long field goal. You haven't brought the house all day. Why do it there?

The hold was a hold. His arms went around him. Dre just has to do better.

 

And the pick play happens in every NFL game and rarely gets called. And even if they call it, the Steelers kick the FG and win the game.

 

The Bengals shot themselves in the foot over and over and lost this game themselves. They got absolutely no pressure on Ben all day. They squandered good field position a few times. They looked lost on offense at times. They couldn’t cover a TE all day long. The defense allowed third down conversion after third down conversion. The offense/coaching staff doesn’t understand clock management. The Bengals lost, the weren’t robbed.

 

Tip your hat to the Steelers. They made plays when needed.

Maybe let the play clock run down before snapping the ball for one... that’s something they could’ve done differently.

Exactly my position.
