Bengals/Steelers Open Thread
Posted by: david
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.
October 19th, 2008 at 10:13 amSteelers go up 7.
October 19th, 2008 at 10:14 amDecent return by Caldwell. Not that the O will do anything with it, of course.
October 19th, 2008 at 10:18 amTold ya.
October 19th, 2008 at 10:20 amThe defense forces a punt. Why? You’ll just be back out there in about four plays.
October 19th, 2008 at 10:26 amKeith Rivers out for the game with a jaw injury. Great. Fuck Ward.
October 19th, 2008 at 10:27 amHAHAHAHAHA! WE SUCK!
October 19th, 2008 at 10:29 amHAHAHAHAHA! 15 YARD PUNT! LARSON. YOU. SUCK!!!!!
October 19th, 2008 at 10:31 amNice of Pitt to call a TO and give our D a breather…
October 19th, 2008 at 10:36 am10-0 Steelers. Good job by the D holding them to 3 after that atrocious “punt.” Not that it will make any difference…
October 19th, 2008 at 10:41 am15 minutes of farce down, 45 to go.
October 19th, 2008 at 10:46 amHey, another 3 and out by the O! What a surprise!
October 19th, 2008 at 10:47 amOh…Memo to Marv: GET LEVI JONES THE FUK OUT OF THERE!!! Anthony Collins can’t possibly be worse.
October 19th, 2008 at 10:49 amPiit’s O decides to play along and do some dumb stuff, too.
October 19th, 2008 at 10:52 amFitz has nothing today. Not that the line is much help.
October 19th, 2008 at 10:58 amD forces another punt.
October 19th, 2008 at 11:03 amAnd another 3 and out…sigh.
October 19th, 2008 at 11:07 amNice play by Rucker and Sims on that last defensive stand.
October 19th, 2008 at 11:13 amA FIRST DOWN! WOO-HOO!!!!!
October 19th, 2008 at 11:13 amBrat finally remembers he can run semi-successfully over the right side…
October 19th, 2008 at 11:16 amAnd…a holding call. 1st and 20. That’s probably it for this drive.
October 19th, 2008 at 11:16 amHey, a Watson sighting!
October 19th, 2008 at 11:22 amChris Henry! About time.
October 19th, 2008 at 11:25 amOCHO SCORE-O! 10-7 Steelers.
October 19th, 2008 at 11:28 amDown just 3 at the half.
October 19th, 2008 at 11:32 amBack at it. Bengals ball.
October 19th, 2008 at 11:46 amUgh. Nice “block” Kenny…
October 19th, 2008 at 11:50 amRun D vanishes. 17-7 Pitt.
October 19th, 2008 at 11:55 amAnother good return by Caldwell.
October 19th, 2008 at 11:59 amBalls going for it on 4th and inches. But you’re 0-6 so why not?
October 19th, 2008 at 12:06 pmDrive 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.
October 19th, 2008 at 12:09 pmD woke back up.
October 19th, 2008 at 12:16 pmBenson with a nice hit on Troy.
October 19th, 2008 at 12:26 pmPunt. Steelers pinned deep…
October 19th, 2008 at 12:30 pm…and Pitt immediately rips off a 16 yard run. Looks like the D is crumbling late again.
October 19th, 2008 at 12:32 pm50-yard TD pass. Game.
