Flacco magic??? I can’t believe I’m watching this old man playing for my team😂

I know the Steelers have some large players on offense but it feels like tackling is a huge issue for the bengals defense. Takes 3 guys to bring anyone down
Even on special teams every return gets them in good field position
And our flag was still there. W for the ‘Nati.
Bengals are not a well built team but no one is any good in the division this year so maybe Flacco can keep us in the hunt until Joey B returns.

As soon as Tomlin said what I said at the press conference, I knew this was coming…
As a 50 year + Bengal fan last night was fun.

Steelers now have Packers, Colts, Chargers coming up before a rematch with the Bengals. In other words a bad loss for them. As a Steelers fan watching that game I kept thinking would the Steelers be better off with Flacco at QB. Plus I can’t stand Rogers.
The Steelers defense was dogshit last night. Isn’t Tomlin supposed to be some sort of defensive guru?
Unfortunately my high school friend and fellow Sharon High Tiger, Teryl Austin, is probably going to get canned. He is the Steelers DC, from Western PA, went to and played for Pitt, and this is his dream job. And honestly, this season, not doing a very good job.
Tomlin is a guru of mediocrity. Nothing else.
But he sounds very impressive doing it!
He absolutely does, but he still is a mediocre football coach
Mr. 9-8

If Duke Tobin weren’t friends with the owner, he would be out of a job.
Bengals can’t really complain. They knew exactly what would happen after paying their QB and two WRs
Who are these guys….a bunch of “no-names.”
The Bengals “D” thinks they’re playing Flag Football. Can anyone tackle?
I actually didn’t mind their strategy of paying to keep the offense intact and use the draft to supply the talent on defense. But as I showed, their picks have been just awful on both sides, but especially the defensive side. Other than DJ Turner, the other thirteen players have all underperformed what was expected of them, and are for the most part the core of what may end up being the worst defense in NFL history. The team needs to figure out how to scout and draft better, and that is basically Duke Tobin’s job, and that makes him the biggest culprit in this whole mess in my eyes.

11 picks in the top 3 rounds, probably only 2 viable starters. A lot of people will know their names after yesterdays game, from seeing the back of their jerseys as they chase down another Bears’ player heading for the end zone.
