Who Dey? Dey’s the Bengals that don’t look the same as they did in 2005. Dey’s 0-5 going into today’s game with their franchise QB on the bench from injury. Dey’s going to be in for a long season this year. The Steelers on the other hand, are 4-1 and ready to go from their bye. I wasn’t looking for this game to even be close, and well, I was right. It hasn’t been the same since Kimo rolled over Carson. Oh well, I don’t feel bad for them.
Maybe they should get Bootsy Collins and his Storm Trooper back?
Game Time!
FIRST QUARTER
You’d think the game was in Pittsburgh with how many Steel City fans were there. Or maybe it was just that there are just so little Cincy fans. I’ll go with a combo of both.
I even see more BRONCO’S fans than Bengal’s fans in this picture.
Stees get the ball first and don’t waste any time. After a slight misstep on the first snap, Big Ben rips off some passes like it’s nobody’s business. Three passes into the game, the Stees are already in Bengal territory. Hines Ward decides to show Bengal’s rookie linebacker Keith Rivers what the NFL is like and breaks his jaw, literally.
Owned.
Big Ben hits San Antonio for a big gain and puts the Stees inside the 5. Knowing the Bengals are thinking run, Ben play fakes it and hits Mewelde in the endzone. 7-0 Steelers
Easy.
The Bengals manage to be the worst team in the history of football in the first quarter and 3 and out everything they can. The Steelers get another drive going before the end of the quarter and get inside the 5 again but the Steelers try to their passing trickery again, but no dice. Jeff Money, where you at?
10-0 Steelers
SECOND QUARTER
The second quarter starts off very boring, the Steelers and Bengals trade 3 and outs for 10 minutes. The Bengals get the ball with about 5 minutes left in the half, and up until this point, they’ve had a total of 3 net yards in 5 drives. THREE! I don’t know what lit their fire, but they must have been sick of it. They finally put some things together and got (gasp!) a first down! And, unfortunately, more to come.
Who would have thought the Bengals would see more than one of these on a drive?
The Bengals slowly moved down the field, stringing together passes and runs like they’ve been doing it all season. Starting from their own 8 yard line, the moved the whole way to the Steelers’ 5 yard line. With under a minute left in the game, their no name QB hits Chad Johnson (Ocho Cinco?) with a little touch pass over the middle. I won’t lie, it was a pretty drive, but you knew the Steelers weren’t going to put up with that again. 10-7 Steelers
HALFTIME
THIRD QUARTER
The Bengals start the half with the ball and start looking to drive again. But on 3rd and two, Silver Back lay the hammer down on Fitzpatrick for a loss of at least 40 yards. The Bungals punter gets another workout.
Go back to the sideline you nobody
The punter must have been tired from how many times he’s had to punt already and kicks it hardly to midfield. I think I could have punched a ball further than that. With great field position, Mewelde hits the outside for a quick 24 yards. After that, Ben throws a few short passes back at Mewelde to get the Stees into the redzone. Then from about 13 yards out, Mewelde gets a nice block on the left side and is untouched going into the endzone. 17-7 Steelers
The Bengals somehow sneak in a field goal when no one was looking. I know I wasn’t. 17-10 Steelers
The Stees go 3 and out and the Bengals start the fourth with the ball. As I’ve written “Bengals” for like the 10th time this article, I was thinking, what is short for their name? The Bens? The Gals? Cats? They suck.
FOURTH QUARTER
Even though this game was within one score, you knew the Steelers were in control the whole time. I don’t think I broke a sweat this whole game. Or yelled at the TV that many times.
Cincy decides to stick with their terrible passing game and manage to somehow get the ball to midfield, which is an acomplishment for them. Troy goes for a tackle Cedric Benson, which is more like a headbutt, and it takes his helmet off. A normal human being word have been paralyzed, but his hair was there to cushion the blow.
Just THINK how much shampoo he uses.
The game went on and the Steelers continued to toy with them more. They looked like they were putting some passes together but the 2007 first round draft pick Mr. Timmons comes up with a sack on 3rd down.
The Black and Gold get the ball inside their own 10 and get the ball to midfield on 5 plays with a few nice runs by Mewelde and long pass to Santonio. On 2nd and 5, Ben was sick of messing around. Once you saw him drop back in the pocket, you know he wanted to bomb it, and he sure did. 50 yards later, it’s a touchdown to Nate “The Great” Washinton (as the announcer called him). 24-10 Steelers
Big Ben loves throwing his bombs.
The game was pretty much over at this point and it just got out of control. The Bengals started sucking again and 3 and out. The Stees get the ball back around midfield, and you know from just that amount of information, they’re going to score. And they did. A nice pass interference call gets on Hines gets the ball in the redzone and Melwede just continutes his domination of the game with his 3 touchdown. 31-10 Steelers
The Bengals just basically start giving up at this point and their offensive line lets Fitzpatrick gets pounded. He coughes up the ball on another Lawrence Timmons sack and the Steelers recover. It’s just too easy.
Tomlin decides to give Ben a break and puts Byron Leftwich (read: Jax from Mortal Kombat) and even he looks like a probowler against the Cincy D. He drives right down the field and finds Hines on the right side. Just because they Bengals suck and they know it, they cheap shot Hines as he’s going into touchdown to get a nice penalty. 38-10 Steelers
The whistles go WHOOO!!
The Bengals put in Carson’s brother Jordan into the game and he sucks just as much. We are forced to watch him play with himself until time runs out. And thankfully, it does.
Game.
Steelers – 38
Bungals – 10
Notes:
+This was hardly a game, the Bengals are terrible
+Next time the Stees play the Bengals, they will have played the Giants, Redskins, Colts, and Chargers – not the easiest run
+8 sacks today by the Steelers D – 2 each by Timmons, Woodley, and Harrison.
+Harrison and Woodley have 16 combined sacks this year. Sick.
+McFadden was also injured during the Troy Polamalu play, but I don’t know what he injured or the severity. Hopefully both will be fine.
+ Mewelde Moore was a beast today.
+ Limas got a catch today from Byron. I was excited.
