Another 100+ yards day on the ground from Conner today?

Do it once, and you get noticed.

Do it twice and eyebrows are raised.

Do it three times, its a trend.

Can James conner have his 3rd 100 yard rushing game?

Let’s hope so... keep feeding him.
 
The real question is coaching ineptitude, can the coaches overcome. YOU / I / Uncle Bob's 8year old son all know running the Rock is #1 item to do and DIRECTLY at / against the bungles weak run defense. In the past the obvious course is usually looked at diffence you by the current coaching staff. If our boys in street (coaching) cloths can over come then our boys in uniform will also. Conner get 126 rushing and 47 receiving yards today, we win by 12.





Salute the nation

Bengals D is 24th in the league for rushing yards per play and 11th for passing yards per play.

They are 20th in points allowed per game.

Unfortunately, their offense's Rz%, g2g% and ppg are all top 10.

Depends on our defense...

But I think it will happen..

Right, if we get behind 14-0 or 21-0, we are going to pass often, and all but abandon the run.

With the pass rush better, and Haden and Hilton back Dalton and Green should not cause too much damage.
 
just depends which coaching staff shows up
 
This team is poorly coached and generally unprepared and wouldn’t be surprised to see Tomlin ****-up the momentum from last weeks win.
I’m concerned that the 2 DL and rush 3 returns, and Bince and the other slow *** LBer Bostuck will be trying to cover WR’s.
The problem is Tomlin and his arrogance to proud to admit his bullshit doesn’t work.

Good call...
 
Should Tomlin have challenged the play where Conner scored, but the referee initially

Should Tomlin have challenged the play where Conner scored, but the referee initially ruled him down inside the one-yard line?
 
Now all we need is for Bell to report and sign his tender so we can trade him to the highest bidder.
 
Dude is a stud in the making. I was jacked seeing him do some McDonald action over their defense over and over again. The best is when he took that birthdefect and shoved his *** off

Nope. It was first down inside the one. Our line has to punch that one in. Also on the second down play in that series, James was held in the back of the end zone that wasn't called. Bottom line is that your line should get enough push to score.

I can’t see anyone trading for him at this point. A 1/2 season rental. What do you think we get?
 
I still don't get why the Steelers would even play Bell except special teams when he returns and if they don't have to pay him for two week exemption that is what I would do, not give him one stat except making a tackle.

Because he is a stud. I want him gone but that’s your answer

I would think they could get a 2nd for him. But they might not get the opportunity to even try.

Absolutely, if you're guy is in you don't risk not scoring, even if you have the ball at the one.

Stop. Just stop it! You mean to tell me that Tomlin actually trusting his OL to do their job was a good idea? Really? Naaaaw, couldn't be. What Tomlin should have done was call time out, put on some pads and blocked for JC hisdamnself! (sarcasm off. But, some folks act like Tomlin should be coaching AND doing his players' jobs also).
 
Bell has to A show, B pass his physical, and C be in football contact shape.

Until then it's Conners job

And it should be after if Bell returns

Put him in on 3rd down, or swap Ridley for him.

For me Conner keeps the job the rest of the year.

Guess what, we won. We all know that our LB's are not Shazier in the middle of the field - he's not coming back this season so get used to it. The problem is the zone coverage w/ no pressure...

It’s a **** show for both. The eagles make perfect sense For both parties. They need him, he would be good there and on winner team, they have players/picks to toss our way.

But given his hold out there is no way Howie Rosemen will make any deals for a rental. LB ****** himself imo.
