Second Half Thread: Cincinnati Bengals (6-2) 6 - Pittsburgh Steelers (6-2) 9

PrintSantonio Holmes dropped a touchdown pass and Jeff Reed kicked a field goal with 16 seconds left in the first half to put the Steelers ahead 9-6 going into halftime. The Bengals took the ball first and self-destructed with an illegal substitution play, and Shayne Graham missed a 51-yard field goal attempt off the upright.
Bernard Scott returned a kickoff for a touchdown, but Kevin Huber mishandled the ensuing snap on the PAT, so the Bengals were left with 6 points and a 3 point half-time deficit, which could have been a 1-point lead.
Negatives so far, just to get it out of the way - injuries and penalties. The Steelers lost Troy Polamalu, but Cedric Benson looked awful after leaving the game early with a leg injury. He is severely hobbled, and I don't think we can expect much from him in the second half. The Bengals have been penalized on almost every special teams play, suffered the aforementioned bad illegal substitution penalty, and Ndukwe committed an absolutely atrocious, unnecessary pass interference penalty late in the first half to give up the Jeff Reed field goal that made it 9-6.
Positives - the defense is playing excellent football (even if they've been on the field for a long time, the Bengals are losing posession by about 5 minutes). They've sacked Roethlisberger 4 times, and hit him 4 more. CBS says that he's been "hurried" on 6 other plays. That's gotta be most of the pass plays the Steelers have run. There's been excellent pressure and excellent coverage from the defense and that's kept the game in reach. The Steelers have simply not been able to execute in the red zone. The defense has also recorded 5 other tackles for a loss.
The offense, meanwhile, has been inconsistent at best. Carson doesn't seem to be very accurate, especially downfield, and the early open receivers were only finding space when they were tapping toes on the sideline. The running game is working okay, but they're really not consistently going to the run, especially without Benson.
The important thing at this point is that the Bengals are right in this game in a great position to win. Despite being down on the scoreboard, they're playing great defense and we all know the offense has the capability, especially without Troy P. in the game, to make points happen. It's a defensive struggle (94 Bengal yards, 139 Pittsburgh yards), and I honestly like our chances down the wire. Let's make it happen, Bengals.

So let's not let them come out and score.

can't abandon the run
plus, carson hasn’t exactly been accurate this afternoon. im ok with a little conservative play calling there. tie game, morale boost. its all good.
"Nate Silver is a genius" .... BK
you can abandon the run when you're facing the best run defense in the league
and your starting running back is out. You can also not stick to the oh so predictable run on 1st down, run on 2nd down, pass on 3rd down.

if you saw the angle behind palmer, ocho was open in the middle moving across, palmer tried to throw it to him but hampton read it and got his hands up. He didn’t engage anyone at the line, like he was just waiting for a throw into the middle of the field. Good defensive play by steelers. damnit.

Is anyone else wondering why we aren't running Leonard at all with Benson out?
it just seems like his tough running style would be useful

6 seconds is close.
I thought about that, but if it’s incomplete, then clock will stop before the warning.
it doesn't matter cause then you kick a FG
clock is gonna stop after that anyway.
that missed extra point is going to be huge if the steelers move it down the field.

You guys (Bengals) have come so far so fast this year!
Congrats!
(From a Bears fan)
May the wind be always at your back, and may your placekicker have icewater in his veins.

And now with the next three against the Raiders, the Browns, and the Lions
if we take care of business, we can challenge for home field advantage in the playoffs

I've been saving this all day, but I think now is a good time to use it:
7-2 ON A MOTHERFUCKING BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My apologies to the Bengals coaching staff
They made the right calls. Our defense was outstanding. It’s hard to gain perspective because we beat them at their own game
It was a very conservative game.
I’m in favor of taking risks when the door is open. The Bengals didn’t do that, but they held their ground.
tough game
But this year’s team tends to win those…
Kudos to Mike Z.: his D really did well against a very potent attack.
ALL the experts can suck it
tough ass game, no flash, no controversy, just who wanted it more…. your AFC North 2009 Champions, the Cincinnati Bengals!!
Congradulations
for a well played game. The bengals are for real. Your D is excellent, you are raping every team in the division. This loss stung but I gotta give props. We may see you again in the playoffs. Until then enjoy your glory but try not to get a big head. If the steelers cannot make it in the playoffs I will be rooting for cinci (can’t believe I typed that). I would rather lose to a superbowl team than a team that crapped out in the playoffs.
Good job, I’m gonna go cry in my towel now hehe
thanks - this was a tough win!
you guys will be fine. B’more ain’t that good. Do us a favor, get in the playoffs, and knock off Indy!

your team played well
I expect a wild card for them.
What a fantastic sports weekend
First, college basketball season started for my Cats on Friday, then my football Cats become bowl-eligible yesterday, and now my Bengals are 7-2 (5-0) in the AFC North.
WHO DEY ON A BITCH, INDEED.
congrats Bengals
great game. You deserve the division. Hope we get the wildcard and maybe we’ll meet again in the playoffs
i never thought id say this but...
1st round bye for the Bengals?

He doesn't know what he's talking about.
People like Shannon are lazy and assume Chad is just another trash tallking selfish millionaire athlete. They obviously aren’t paying attention to what Chad does.

things are pretty quiet here
In Pittsburgh. I love steelers fans that are speechless

Wow NFL Network
absolutely no respect, pointing out Troy left & all the opportunites Steelers missed, then saying Bengals should have scored an offensive TD, nothing positive…wow
Steelers didn't score a TD either.
Benson got hurt too. Leon Hall played through injury. Let them talk.
And Roy Williams out for season, Keith Rivers out.
But of course it’s the Steelers losing P-mu that made the difference.
Let Pittsburgh worry about Pittsburgh
We’ve got the tie breaker sorted.
Same intensity needed next week by the Bengals to keep building on this – look at New Orleans today!
