Game day thread. Steelers vs bungals ...Take 2.
- Thread starter Ironcitysteelers
- Start date
Boy was I off on my prediction of how the Bungals would beat the Stillers.
Now the test begins. The Ratbirds come in angry and shaken by the Brownies. We have a short week to recover.
Some posters are already complaining that Mason Rudolph needs to stretch the field to win.
Oh really? 24 for 28 completions and a 27-3 victory beats the daylights out of long bombs any day.
Won't be that easy this upcoming Sunday but we need to keep rallying around this new QB and forget the days of constant long bombs.
MRs comparison to Tom Brady's style of zipping the short passes around but winning is a good strategy.
What pleased me the most was spreading the ball around including using all the backs.
Defense showed up and well the Bungals are STILL the Bungals.
Get ready for the big league and the Ratbirds.

Hahahaha ok. You might can get away with that a game here and there. But it wasn't the case tonight as the game wasn't even close. And overall your team hasn't needed the refs to lose they do just fine on their own. PS we dey *****.

We got a tally in the W column, so I'm happy for that.
And while it was the Bengals, our D looked dominant yesterday and was happy to see what I saw with them.
However, ...........................
I am deeply concerned and alarmed by what I saw from the offense.
All that wildcat, trickery, pop warner mess I watched tells me one of two things :
A) The coaching staff/players have a complete lack of faith in Mason Rudolph quarterbacking the team/being the field general
B) The coaching staff is in total desperation save my job mode and reached DEEP into their bag of tricks to pull out a win against a hapless 0-fer team
I'm more inclined to believe B is correct, but there are some alarming trends.
It seems they are limiting Rudolph and keeping him on a leash and in FULL training wheel mode.
Maybe that's a good thing to ease him into the starting job, but it seems like they don't have any faith in him.
It seems they are also protecting the O-Line's obvious deficiencies.
It seems they're also trying to see who they can actually trust in the receiving corps.
I mean, I in NO WAY believe that our coaching staff actually schemed that specific offense for just that one game against the Bengals due to something they saw on film.
I totally expect to see this same offense next week against Baltimore, and I'm not sure we're going to have similar results.
Not trying to be Debbie Downer after the season's first victory, just trying to be the realist and pragmatic.

ALSO fedderone, that 2DL won't work against a team with decent OTs.
Salute the nation
05 vs pit no flag for late hit on carson palmer, bengals 12-4 shoudve been 13-3, but played vs refs in araizona an entire game, cost bengals a 1 seed as they tied for best nfl rec, then joey porter not flagged for being on the field, jadveon clowney half his body offsides no flag thrown cost bengals a playoff game (hou by 6), and osm many countless others i cant even remember em all, nut this year has been the worst of all, its like they have the home teams replacement refs calling the games (3 of 4 losses n road courtesy of refs) NFL has to fix it before it looks like theyre just pickin who wiins the super bowl every year, pretty sad this is the produuct they put out now
go cry on a bungle board, no one here gives a flying ****
pretty obvious that after cin went up 3-0 (shouldve been 7, d pi not called in endzone, shouldve been 1st and goal at the 1) and the ticky tack o pi call happened, they made up for it all night long by giving pit every call, takes the fun out of it when your team has to play perfect AND hope they dont get screwed by the refs every play
Cry me a river you sniveling whiny sad attempt at being a fan.
Reminds me of the Crying Bengals Lady episode of Pittsburgh Dad.
the throat is not part of the face...

I just went back and read this entire thread. what a rollercoaster of emotions. I highly suggest you guys go back and read
wayne I get why you would be here during the game. but to come back the next morning? kinda weird buddy

So then we're allowing chokes in the nfl now? I can hear the conversation between new york and the ref after he tells them the o pi call will stand: hey what the hell are you doin, you cant make a call that helps cin and screws pit, well guess youll have to make up for it the rest of the game then. and thats exactly what that officiating crew did, pit got every call from that point on the rest of the game, but these refs dont suck

don't you think it is a little strange still posting about this? refs suck for every team not just yours. Bungles got outplayed last night. end of story
There's a pair of balls in a closet somewhere. Go suck 'em...
Seriously??? Rudy was 24/28.
He can dink and doink for the rest of the season - AS LONG AS IT EQUATES TO W's!!!
Some people just can't enjoy a win. At facing 0-4, I'm just going to be happy about the W for a few days. We have played really good teams so far up to this game and had a chance to win 2 of those. Those teams have a combined record of 10-1. So looking forward to Ravens week.
He showed deep ball capable. Just go with the move the chains approach until they crowd the line of scrimmage to stop it, then make them pay. Could very well be a winning formula...
