Behind a solid performance from Bengals QB the "Strawberry Rifle" Andy Dalton (25/45 for 280 yds 1 TD) and two TD's by Bengals 2013 2nd rounders Giovanni Bernard the Bengals roll the Steelers 20-10. It was a game of halves as they played to a draw in the 1st half. The Bengals clearly won the 2nd half without the dynamic AJ Green being a non-factor. The Steelers "D" played well enough to win this one but if you out there for that many snaps (70 plus) your eventually going to show break and they did.Big Ben (20/37 for 251 yds 1 TD 1 INT) looked solid in the 1t half as the fumble in the 1st frame by TE David Paulson kind of took the air of the Steelers looking back on it. The Tripping call on LT Marcus Gilbert early in the 3rd frame when the Steelers converted a key 3rd down also took some potential "MO' from the Black and Yellow. There are a lot of areas one could point to but you are what your record says you are...and that is 0-2. The Good thing is the Ravens and Bengals are just one game up at 1-1 but the Steelers must concentrate on the 16-game trek an what's next...the Monsters of the Midway Sunday Night coming to the 'Burgh 2-0 and with a new QB in Jay "On good behavior because I am in a contract year" Cutler.
Steelers Nation I always say this ...get to 10 wins before you get to six losses and we are 2-11 counting the last seven games in 2012, the 2013 Pre Season, and the 0-2 start...not good. We could right the ship and we will be better than 8-8 we just have to put one in the right column which is the win column!
360 Degrees...Steelers 19 PF 36 PA...Steelers scoring 9.5 ppg an giving up 18 ppg...that is -8.5 ppg in the wrong direction!
