Bengals vs Steelers Game Thread.
Re: Bengals vs Steelers Game Thread.
Its time to call a spade a spade, the Steelers are in the Bengals heads and have been for decades.
Coaches come and coaches go.
Quarterbacks come and Quarterbacks go.
Offensive and defensive coordinators come and go.
But one thing about this rivalry remains constant. The Steelers are simply tougher than the Bengals and both teams know it.
It gives the Steelers a mental edge going into each meeting and puts the Bengals behind the eight ball mentally at the same time.
We're going to keep seeing results like this until Cincinnati throws off its yoke of inferiority.

Any time I see mental mistakes… I blame coaching

Re: Bengals vs Steelers Game Thread.
We will split with these guys this year, almost like any other year. I don't see why this year is any different. We should have won this game but we had 3 really stupid plays. 1 was the punt penalty, wtf are we even that close to the punter? 2nd was the muffed punt, call for the fair catch and catch the freaking ball! 3rd is 100% on Burrow for the game ending fumble. You eliminate those and we win this game.Bengals1 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 27, 2026 4:36 pmIts time to call a spade a spade, the Steelers are in the Bengals heads and have been for decades.

This isn't a coaching thing, this is 100% a players not focusing and doing what they're supposed to all the time.
I would also point out that our pass rush was dog shit today and that's the only reason shitsburg scored as much as they did. We get pressure on Rodgers and he makes mistakes.
So frustrating, I literally had this feeling in my stomach all week this was going to happen.
I think we bounce back next week and get back on track, that's what good teams do and we are a good team.

Re: Bengals vs Steelers Game Thread.
This is ridiculous. This isn’t just a Zac Taylor problem
In fact, this marked the sixth time since 2023 that Burrow and the Bengals took the field trailing by a score in the final four minutes. They were 0-5 in those games. Once Burrow fumbled after being hit by Derrick Harmon, that moved to 0-6.

Re: Bengals vs Steelers Game Thread.
What's most disappointing is that they lost this game exactly the same way they've been losing to the Steelers specifically for years now. Decades really.
They always seem so tight and nervous when they play Pittsburgh.
Guys who have been productive for several games suddenly get Alligator arms. Our vaunted pass rush disappears against a very mediocre offensive line.
We suddenly start making mental mistakes. Start committing inexcusable penalties. The coaches start calling the game as if they're desperate.
Like I said earlier. The Steelers are just living in our heads rent free. We don't play the same against them.
I'm really growing tired of it. I just don't see a light at the end of the Pittsburgh tunnel. They own us and it's disgusting.

Re: Bengals vs Steelers Game Thread.
Also! We need to get C Brown involved more. Hes fast, quick, great hands, he can really help this offense reach its max potential. Burrow needs to stop forcing throws to Chase
That's all!
That's all!
I was crazy back when being crazy really meant something.
