Pittsburgh's play calling when trying to wind the clock is awful.

Let's see if we want the ball back this time...
Another Palmer overthrow. This is the worst game I've ever seen him play.

This is a game that was played in awful conditions, and Carson Palmer is eclipsing the 40 pass attempt mark because the offensive line combined with Rudi Johnson and his 2.4 yards per carry rate tonight were once again unable to establish a ground game.
It's no wonder the Bengals have problems scoring points these days.

They were talking about the wind earlier. It seems like anything with some loft to it got overthrown. I can't help but think the wind has an effect on those passes. I noticed Roethlesburger started hitting receivers when he started throwing underneath. The Bengals' first drive was a lot of short passes, quick hits. The Bengals never seem to adjust to the conditions.
Wear gaudy colors, or avoid display. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live. Be like your ancestors or be different. We must repeat!

I wish I could think that this team will have an 8-8 season, but I have a very strong feeling the losing is not over.
I have a feeling the Browns will kick our butts - and do it at home, as well. St. Louis might be a win - pretty miserable team.
Has any Cincy team ever won on the west coast...we go up in San Fran...not confident about that game, either.
Then there is the Miami game. I am actually beginning to dread it. If the Dolphins are still winless, they could very well be playing their hearts out in that game.
I do not see the Bengals having the kind of passion to overcome that kind of opponent.
Some of Rudi's poor rushes weren't entirely his fault. He might have had a second TD if Ghiachuc could have maintained his block a little longer. But Rudi still seems a step slow. His running plays take forever to develop. With Watson or Dorsey in, it seems like a different team.

Chad not exactly in the game.....
1st pick of the 2023 baseball amateur draft
Palmer was terrible tonight, but when you run for less than 3 ypc, you can't blame the QB.
