OK. Firing this up.

It's a beautiful day here at Acrisure Stadium. Let's get into it.
Brock Hoffman and Max Iheanachor announced as #Steelers starters for the first time here at @AcrisureStadium.

Germie Bernard, Roman Wilson, Michael Pittman Jr. and DK Metcalf all announced as WR starters.

Both Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington also named starters at TE.

Is jpj playing?

Nope, among the inactives today. Asante Samuel Jr., it's your time to shine.

Pretty tired of the Porter mess. I don’t even see him as a top 10 CB. Way too many penalties. What’s the difference between a $100M contract and a $125M contract? I seriously doubt he could not live extremely comfortably on $100M. Trade him and get rid of the distraction he is causing.

If you were among the top 10 people at your job in the world, wouldn't you want to be paid market rate for that talent?

A dis-interested and incompetent Owner, lousy GM, Over the Hill HC, a Soc Security age qualified QB, No O-Line, No Receivers, No RB's, No secondary, an average at best D-line, Maybe ONE real Star player and a team with no drive or direction towards changing all add's up to "It's back to the future" 1960's here we come..er..ARE. Congratulations Art. You done a heckuva job.

Good morning Chris! Do you think the Steelers will consider a hurry up offense if the offensive line continues to struggle?
Christopher Carter
1:02
Good morning! I think they should try everything they can to shake things up. No huddle makes sense.
Tampa Too

This Joey Porter situation is now gotten out of hand. They’re playing a great offense with two top receivers and he’s not there to help? This is not good.

Like last week, the opposing team is a 61% chance of winning.  McCarthy promised some changes this week.  So, I will give them the benefit of the doubt at this time.
David Chestnut

how many starters did they announce for offense? lol
Christopher Carter
1:02
13!

Aaron Rodgers opens the game with both Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington in the backfield with Jaylen Warren. It's a checkdown pass to Warren that goes 30 yards with the TEs leading the way blocking.

Different call to start! #Steelers

Offense needs to right the ship or it could be a long day

Aaron Rodgers finds Roman Wilson for 5 yards, then throws it away.

Three plays, three passes for the #Steelers to start. 3rd and 5 at the Bengals' 38.

Over/under on total yards by Steelers today?  I say 240
Christopher Carter
1:06
I'll take the over. I think they'll need to against this offense.

TG Watt coming out of the tunnel running hard.  Good sign!!!

Week 3 - what could possibly go wrong.  Here we go!

Hey, Chris, thank you for doing these.

It was reported that there has been real trade interest in JPJ, Is this just click bate, or are you hearing that the tides are shifting?

TOUCHDOWN. Aaron Rodgers finds Roman Wilson WIDE open for the 38-yard score. Bengals went single-high safety, and Wilson torched his man off the line for the easy score.

Pat is good.

Drive: 4 plays, 73 yards, 1:50.

#Steelers 7, Bengals 0. Q1, 13:10.

That didn't take long.

We have a chance to win this thing if we keep exploiting, their secondary
Ken
1:08
Hmmmm.   Passing all of the way.  Bengals waiting for run game.   All passing.  Keep up the good work!!!  A+ series!
Christopher Carter

The Bengals were daring the #Steelers' offense to test them deep, and Aaron Rodgers did. 3rd and 5, it was press coverage around the board, and Aaron Rodgers found Roman Wilson.

He glanced at DK Metcalf, but quickly rotated to Wilson. A much needed jump start to the game.
Turk in MD

The OL blocked and Wilson caught a TD??!!  What cosmic bunny hole did we all just fall through?

First offensive TD in 1st QTR in how long????
Christopher Carter
1:13
Literally did some research on this, December 7 against the Ravens last season.
Steve

I am dreaming- a touchdown on the first series!
JeffB
1:13
Um…where did this offense come from?  Hope it sticks around for a long while
TMINT
1:13
Wow when was the last time HCMT team scored a td in the first qtr lol
Christopher Carter

Answered above.
Ken

McCarthy said he was going to do big changes.  We have seen a good sign!
Hillbilly
1:13
Wilson wiffed
JeffB
1:13
I was focusing on IMax. He does it well. But I suspect a few rookie mistakes.
Hillbilly
1:13
It’s a small sample size, but the pass protection looks much better already
Christopher Carter

After a TFL split by Payton Wilson and Jalen Ramsey gave the #Steelers good down and distance, Joe Burrow finds Dohnte Meyers for a 24 yards against the zone.

Burrow has the Bengals marching, finding Tee Higgins for 10.
