Week 3 Recap

We all saw it. The Bengals played poorly and still pulled it off against an overhyped Steeler team. Can we say we've played a good team yet? Rothlesberger has never been all that spectacular of a quaterback. Yes his QB rating has been very good. Yes he won a Super Bowl. And yes he doesn't typically make poor decisions. But couldn't we be talking about Trent Dilfer during the Ravens Super Bowl season. He has always looked a little shaky versus the Bengals and has never been the difference in a Steeler win against us. Then he creates excuses for his picks. What a leader.

Housh is, in Carson's favorite words, phenomenal. He impacts our offense more than Chad. Henry is improving every week even if he does continue to make an ass of himself elsewhere. I'd like to see a better effort from our verterans along the O-line. Times are a little tough for those guys thanks to injuries, so it's up to Willie, Bobby, and Steinbach to show the younger guys how to get it done when the team needs you to. I realize they were facing the big brained Dick and his insane 3-4 blitz schemes, but we re-upped our lineman to some big contracts and that shit had better payoff with three sacks or fewer in a game. Carson needs to get rid of the ball sooner too. I know he's more concerned about throwing a pick than taking a sack, but tuck the ball if you're settling for a sack.

Defensively I like our secondary, but I'm concerned with our lack of pressure when Bresnahan calls his blitzes. Almost all our sacks have either been coverage sacks or our ends outplaying opposing tackles. Tackling overall has been pretty good and I thought Kaesvaharn played pretty damn well too. Linebackers failed to pop Willie Parker a few times and couldn't get outside fast enough to slow his momentum down and cut off the seams.

Kenny Watson played well on special teams.

The best part is, is that those obnoxious Steeler hatemonger fans can finally shut the fuck up. Either sit there quietly and take the abuse for wearing your Big Ben jersey around my city, or just leave altogether. Bitches.
