Bengals/Steelers Open Thread

AUTHOR: | IN: Bengals | 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.

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

Punt. Steelers pinned deep...

Benson with a nice hit on Troy.

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.

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

Another good return by Caldwell.

Run D vanishes. 17-7 Pitt.

Ugh. Nice "block" Kenny...

OCHO SCORE-O! 10-7 Steelers.

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

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

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

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

And another 3 and out...sigh.

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

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

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

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

15 minutes of farce down, 45 to go.

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

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

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

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

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

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