Steelers/Bungles Talk - 7pt Favorites

[Big Ben's Gray]

Okay guys...in the last 2 games the Steelers forgot to play football in the 1st half and didn't wake up until the 2nd half. I'm going to say right now this Bungles game at home is exactly what this team needs to get back to normal, they will go back to playing a complete game. Steelers always enjoy beating the shit of the Bungles, I don't know what it is but it's like every player pops the blue pill before a Bungles game to get rock hard for it.

For the gamblers out there it's time to put the Steelers ‐7/-8 spread (depends on the book) in your 6pt teasers to tease it down to -1/-2 because we are not losing this game. Last time they beat us was in 2015, hell they couldn't even beat us last year when we had garbage QB play.



Some interesting Bungle forum threads:


All 39 Bungle fans that voted picked Steelers to win, not a single one voted for their team because they know we own dat ass:

I think not having to travel for the first time in a month will be a big help in itself.

Exactly.

[Mojouw]

This is almost certain to be a loss.

Steelers players on the COVID list will increase daily.
Team will eventually get locked out of practices.

Just lining up that Burrow strafes a "basic" defense and a slow to warm up offense doesn't keep pace.

Our offense won't score 7 points with Mason at QB

Let's hope Ben doesn't test positive so he can play. If I have to watch Rudolph attempt to be a NFL QB again...:horror::horror:

If they really want to win this game, you would think they wouldn't go out of their way to piss off the Steelers.

Nobody ever accused the Bengals of being smart.

[Fire Goodell]

That happened do Douchemandzadeh after he did that? :chuckle:

Lots of optimism!

[cubanstogie]

Even with Rudolph Im optimistic. Conner running well and so many weapons. Short passes to playmakers, establish the run and throw in play action and he could be successful. If he hangs in pocket too long game over though.

If they don’t actually test positive, our guys will play. If they play, we win.

The Bengals have guys on the Covid list too.

I see our guys playing angry with a major chip on their shoulder after being criticized for not playing well against the Cowboys. I wouldn’t have thought this would be a statement game but now it’s turned into one. Their offensive line can not stop our guys if our linebackers are actually rushing the QB instead of covering their best receivers.

Hilton coming back helps Butler not be a total idiot.

Here's what I now want to see. Come out in that 0 RB/1 TE/4 WR set. Every down. Why? Because why not. Everyone Steelers focused keeps talking that it isn't sustainable. Maybe not. But it might be. If some team helmed by an acknowledged "scheme" coach and a "sexy" QB did it; we'd all hear breathless commentary on how it's so "innovative" and "forward thinking". Steelers do it and it's just a desperate move by a dum-dum coach and a faded QB. Screw it. Let it fly 50 times.

On defense, press the WRs, turn the fellas up front loose, and go hell for leather after Burrow and see if he can really beat you.

It's not a good plan. It's not a tactically sound approach. But, golly it would be fun to see.

Why not? Really. No team has the DB depth to hang with our receivers.

Notice that once Ben “catches” the defense in a certain formation (one less DB than really necessary) he goes mmediately to no-huddle in order to keep the opposing defense from substituting; then, Ben sinply locates the mismatch on every play. Smart. So, the spread might not be as effective from the get-go... then again... like I said, even when ready for it, teams don’t have the DB depth to cover our receivers.

Honestly, I would rather see the Steelers pound the holy hell out of the Bengals with Conner and Snell for the majority of the game. Keep Burrow sitting on the bench out of rhythm. Take time off the clock, put up 7 every drive, beat that ass like a big brother should. But who am I kidding? Ben's gonna fling it all over the place.

[ETL]

I’m very curious about Burrows. I know he’s been slinging it but I want to see him do it as he’s about to get hit. Will he be smart like Brady and throw quickly before getting hit or will he be “brave” like Andrew luck and have a short career or will he wilt like Testaverde

He's been a stalwart so far. Takes his licking and keeps on ticking.

I’d love to see a double digit win but I just don’t see many of those on the schedule.

admirable and doable when young but will have to adjust with time. But his moxie may give us fits this week

He was a full participant yesterday. He’s good to go.

[ETL]

Soooo .... if the bengals run 200 yards on us, the reason for this would be:

1. Alualu is not 100%
2. We were making sure Burrows does not beat us with his arm and allowing the runs until the red zone
3. we really need more help at ILB

Well, we have all the help we’re gonna get this year at ILB.

But there is another excuse if Hilton doesn’t play. Hilton allows us to defend both the run and the pass when we’re in nickel.

I said this in another thread, but I would consider it a win if Burrow just gets through this game not being hurt. No team in the NFL gets away with more cheap shots and after the play b.s. than pukesburg. Think about how many rules are in place in the NFL because of those cheap shot mf'ers...and most of those came when they were playing the Bengals (Hines Ward crackback on Keith Rivers...broken jaw, Kimo, went low on Palmer....blown out knee, Shazier....lowered his head on Bernard....knocked him out of the game, and I am probably missing a few). Plus we have to play the refs too.ROGLMFAO !! "Q" Lives !!! :rofl2::rofl2::rofl2::rofl2::rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:: rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:

The Bengals only have three (THREE) corners playing tomorrow: WJIII (a starter), Mackenzie Alexander (starting slot corner), and Scrub McNeverplayedbefore (brought up from the practice squad). If the Steelers go five wide, the fourth & fifth receivers will be covered by safeties.

This is exactly what I was saying in the game thread today. And one of those 3 corners got hurt during the game. Not sure if he came back, but it seemed like we should have had mismatches in the passing game all day. That’s why some of those Conner runs for one down were so frustrating.

If they are depleted in the secondary just overwhelm them with all of our pass catchers. I don’t how we weren’t scoring on every series.

Must have been the wind.

[Hawkman]

Watching the game again now. This may be the stupidest question I’ve ever asked, but on the kickoff after the Steelers first FG, the ball bounced off the return man’s leg.....in the field of play, making it a live ball, he recovers it in the end zone and then gets tackled. Wouldn’t that be a safety?

Isn’t any kickoff a live ball after 10 yards? So it’s just a touchback? If it was a punt...maybe?

But it touched the return man, before it went into the end zone. Doesn’t matter?.....and he recovered it in the end zone?

[Hawkman]

Anyone notice on one of Berry’s early punts, Claypool downed it and the tried to sneak it a little farther away. Like a little kid.

He had no control on the ball.

As @Polamalubeast mentions above.....That's a muff. He never controlled it, so he can down it in the end zone for a touchback. That's the rule as I understand it.

I think that must be it. Because he definitely couldn't catch it in the field of play and then back up into the end zone for a TB.

But it still seems a little weird. If the kickoff lands at the two yard line and just stops, can the returner kick it into the end zone and down it for a TB? Is there a rule about doing it on purpose rather than incidental contact?

Like could you muff it on purpose, with a slap in the air in the direction of the end zone? How is the ref supposed to determine intention?

[Big Ben's Gray]

Well....everything in my OP that started this thread came true, Bungles had no chance. Now I'm a little apprehensive of this Jag off game, I have a feeling it's gonna be a Cowboys game redux.
