Bengals/Steelers Open Thread

AUTHOR: david | IN: Uncategorized | COMMENTS: 36 Comments |

Kicker Shayne Graham is out again this week, as are wide receiver/kick returner Glenn Holt and tight end Ben Utecht.

Third-round pick Andre Caldwell will take Holt’s job. Second-rounder Jerome Simpson is also active this week. DT Pat Sims, who made his NFL debut last week, goes again against the Steelers, this time in place of the injured Orien Harris.

Dexter Jackson is finally healthy again, and starts over Marvin White at free safety, while Cedric Benson gets the call in place of the ineffective Chris Perry.

    Ward is still a punk.

  2. David says:

    Steelers go up 7.

  3. David says:

    Decent return by Caldwell. Not that the O will do anything with it, of course.

  4. David says:

    The defense forces a punt. Why? You’ll just be back out there in about four plays.

  5. David says:

    Keith Rivers out for the game with a jaw injury. Great. Fuck Ward.

  6. David says:

    HAHAHAHAHA! WE SUCK!

  7. David says:

    HAHAHAHAHA! 15 YARD PUNT! LARSON. YOU. SUCK!!!!!

  8. David says:

    Nice of Pitt to call a TO and give our D a breather…

  9. David says:

    10-0 Steelers. Good job by the D holding them to 3 after that atrocious “punt.” Not that it will make any difference…

  10. David says:

    15 minutes of farce down, 45 to go.

  11. David says:

    Hey, another 3 and out by the O! What a surprise!

  12. David says:

    Oh…Memo to Marv: GET LEVI JONES THE FUK OUT OF THERE!!! Anthony Collins can’t possibly be worse.

  13. David says:

    Piit’s O decides to play along and do some dumb stuff, too.

  14. David says:

    Fitz has nothing today. Not that the line is much help.

  15. David says:

    D forces another punt. 

  16. David says:

    And another 3 and out…sigh.

  17. David says:

    Nice play by Rucker and Sims on that last defensive stand.

  18. David says:

    A FIRST DOWN! WOO-HOO!!!!!

  19. David says:

    Brat finally remembers he can run semi-successfully over the right side…

  20. David says:

    And…a holding call. 1st and 20. That’s probably it for this drive.

  21. David says:

    Hey, a Watson sighting!

  22. David says:

    Chris Henry! About time.

  23. David says:

    OCHO SCORE-O! 10-7 Steelers.

  24. David says:

    Down just 3 at the half.

  25. David says:

    Back at it. Bengals ball.

  26. David says:

    Ugh. Nice “block” Kenny…

  27. David says:

    Run D vanishes. 17-7 Pitt.

  28. David says:

    Another good return by Caldwell.

  29. David says:

    Balls going for it on 4th and inches. But you’re 0-6 so why not?

  30. David says:

    Drive stalls out at the 5. Bengals take the chip shot FG. 17-10 Pitt. Can’t trade TD for FGs, fellas. Gotta punch it in.

  31. David says:

    D woke back up.

  32. David says:

    Benson with a nice hit on Troy.

  33. David says:

    Punt. Steelers pinned deep…

  34. David says:

    …and Pitt immediately rips off a 16 yard run. Looks like the D is crumbling late again.

  35. David says:

    50-yard TD pass. Game.
