Do you guys want me to continue doing abbreviated play-by-play? IF I don’t hear anything, I’m going to let it go and just comment on the game, rather than describe them. Your choice.

Fitz, in shotgun, with pressure by Timmons allowed by a slow footed Levi Jones, scambles up the middle for 10 yards and a first down.

After a 3-yard scramble, and a short pass (hook) over the middle to T.J., Fitzpatrick rolls to the right. Harrison, with Watson making a junk effort at a block, sacks Fitz.

Bengals punt.

don’t they teach that in junior high anymore?

On first and 10 at the Cincinnati 20-yard line. David Jones came up and got his hands on Holmes, running down the left sidlines. Because the coverage was so close, it disrupted the pass for an incomplete.

Running a lot of 4-5 WR formations, in shotgun, with quick hitting passes.

Big Ben, with 3 WRs, hands off to Moore on a counter to the left. It wasn’t even close. Moore scores a TD, while Odom is manhandled at the line of scrimmage, unable to seal the edge.

There were no fakes on that play at all, and nobody knew where the ball was.

Returns the kickoff to the 42-43 yard line.

He’s averaging 29.3 yards per return.

Picks up 10 yards, after a quick pass into the flats.

I think Benson walked on Coats leg on the off-tackle to the right. Picked up five yards…

Benson is much better than Perry… IMHO.

Fitz, fakes the handoff and throws a super-fast ball to a wide open Chad Johnson. The ball skipped to Chad. Incomplete.

Fitz, in shotgun, looks for T.J. the entire time he’s dropping back. T.J. hits the first down marker, takes the pass and picks up more yards. 19 yards in all. NICE NICE NICE.

Fitz, drops back five steps and fires off a pass to Chad for a good gain.

It’s nice to see that Fitz is throwing the ball on his final drop. He’s not waiting. He’s firing the pass quickly — which, as you can see, is working great.

Handoff to Benson. He runs towards the left edge, but that left edge was filled with Steelers defenders. So Benson turns inside and gets 1.99999999 yards on the play.

What do you have to lose?

Fitz, sneaks and gets the first down.

Fitz, in shotgun, holds the pass to the right and overthrows Kenny Watson running down the sidelines. Incomplete.

Done got blown up.

Ben, with single back formation, hands off to Moore and BRANDON JOHNSON slips through the line of scrimmage hitting Moore before he got to the first down.

Geathers disrupted the play too, by not moving.

T.J. – 46 yards
Chad – 44 yards
Henry – 44 yards

Fitz: 18/26, 149 yards, TD
Ben: 15/25, 149 yards, TD

Fitz, intended a pass to Benson out of the backfield, has his pass knocked in the air by Harrison, nearly picked off by Timmons.

Hand off to Benson on the left side of the line. A nice open lane gives Benson seven yards on the play.

3rd Q is over.

Fitz throws a deep pass to Chad, who had the ball, but it came out. Damn it.

LOL!!!

Benson just f’ed up Troy P!!!

Did you see that? Benson is tackled at the LOS… the same guy that Jones was blocking.

Fitz, in shotgun, is sacked by the guy that Jones and Watson are blocking.

This is about the time in the game that a tired Bengals defense can’t get off the field. However, the time of possession is close, with the Steelers having the ball only 1:20 more than the Bengals.

Huge hole on the right, between G/T. Moore picks up 16 yards.

Handoff to Moore, POA on the left, forced inside for a minimal gain.

Ben drops back, looks over the middle to Ward, and JJ smothers WR for the incomplete.

Ben, in shotgun, hits Holmes down the right side, running a hook route. Picks up 17 yards on the play. Hall, covering Holmes on the play, attempts to dive and swat the pass.

How does HE run that far?

Beb, fakes the handoff, and throws a mile deep to Washington, who had Pope beat by 3-4 steps. Touchdown.

Who the hell was supposed to be covering him? Pope? Holy crap. Someone should tell him that his job is to NOT let them catch the ball.

Like, for real.

Bears put up 48 on Vikings, while the Panthers are handling Saints 27-7.

That Washington TD really killed us.

Watson was THROWN down. Awful.

Ward has a step on JJ. Ball was underthrown, JJ called for pass interference. Steelers start at the 14.

Was Joseph close enough to the play?

And we’re 0-7 now.

Terrible tackling. Brandon Johnson ran right into the pile while Moore was bouncing outside.

Nine point Bills lead over the Chargers is the closest game.

Fumble, Steelers ball

Levi effing Jones. He should be benched. I’m super-serious (that’s an Al Gore reference on South Park fighting Bearmanpig, BTW).

Possible upset alert! LOL.

While the Steelers are piling on the points, showing BS class (again), Jackson knocks Ward down on the TD pass.

I’m cool with that penalty.

I disagree. They looked awful with him in there too. It’s the coaching and preparation. They just aren’t ready week to week.

Is out for the whole season! Just got a message from ESPN on my phone about it.
