Bengals CB Dre Kirkpatrick still thinks they're better than the Steelers.

The Steelers pretty much dominated every aspect of the game getting the better of the Bengals in first downs (26-19), third-down efficiency (58-50 percent), total yards (481-275), yards per play (7.2-4.7), rushing yards (112-62), passing yards (369-229) and time of possession (35-25).

It's because of the field position that the game was close.

Our offense was almost always at the 25 yard line or worse and the TD of the Bengals at the end of the first half was already in midfield.

The field position for the steelers has been atrocious this year (31st on offense, 24th on defense)


Edit: if my memory is good, the first TD of the bengals, they were also already in midfield or close to that

Yep - first Bengals TD was after Berry's 36 yard punt to Bengals 46

Other keys to keeping it close were the combo platter of special teams breakdown on kickoff/bad defense for end of first half Bengals TD and bad second half red zone offense, featuring not scoring on first and goal from the one

He cries like Pacman Jones does.

yeah ok man

Have you heard this moron talk ? How could you understand anything he says anyway.....? He probably still believes in the Easter bunny. LOL Hopefully the bungholes will continue to draft the lower class and remain the bungholes forever.

And that TD was aided by a big penalty and an easy dropped INT by Haden.

Lol. That’s their problem...

[GoSlash27]

To be fair, he is a better CB than Artie Burns.
/that's about it, tho'

Said the team that's been beaten 7 times in a row.

Said the team that's been beaten 7 times in a row.

and 5 of his games was in their house!

[GoSlash27]

The head to head matchup since he's been with the Bengals: Steelers 11 Bengals 3. I checked.

[El-Gonzo Jackson]

True, but they have the better QB....oh wait, maybe not. But they have the better coach....ok, my bad. But they have the better WR group, O line, ownership, fanbase and...….. forget it. They have better CB than Artie Burns and they have Geno Atkins.

[GoSlash27]

They have better CB than Artie Burns and they have Geno Atkins.

Geno Atkins: 23 tackles, 6 sacks.
TJ Watt: 30 tackles, 6 sacks, 1 pass broken up, 1 forced fumble

So really they have a better CB than Artie Burns.

Best,
