Damn. We in big trouble. 

[jmsgws 2,181]

Wow, this is a bad start.

[Hoosierfan2017 20,935]

Honesty don’t think we’ll see Tuttle barring injury but I’d like to see what he can do. Penix isn’t the guy he was last year. At this point he’s an inaccurate QB with bad decision making.

Refs trying to save their jons at all cost

How many terrible punts do we give this guy? He’s had maybe two good ones so far this season 

[LIHoosier 25,915]

Nice replay of their penalty from the Hubble telescope.

We must not have anyone else that can punt.

He was under extreme pressure and got hit during the last INT. 

The first INT, I'm pretty sure his arm was hit on the throw (the announcer said as well, but they didn't show the replay).

Not saying he's an accurate QB, just being real though... 

Sure he got hit, but His last INT wasn’t because he was hit. It’s because he made a terrible decision. There’s 30 seconds left, you’ve got 50+ yards to go to score, and you’re up 14-7 against a top 10 team. Just take the sack and go into halftime.

Don’t know what to tell ya. If you can’t handle that type of pressure (which is normal in the top conferences) then you need to stop being quarterback. Especially if your that accurate. 

You just said he had plenty of time, like he wasn't under pressure. Now you pivot to "if you can't handle pressure"... Pick a narrative and stick with it lol.. 

Nobody is saying he's great. He is what he is.

[KingPG21 6,583]

Thats 1000% dirtier than what McFadden did. But sure McFadden can't play anymore 

[LIHoosier 25,915]

Boink!

I agree. But the post I responded to acted as if there was no pressure.

Bad decision for sure.

Seems kind of silly that the rules have a playing ejected for 'targeting' who had no intention to hurt anyone while a player hitting a downed player after the play is past gets to play on.

[KzooHoosier82 972]

Where is James Miller? Tom Allen Jr is getting manhandled and doesn’t have the athleticism to compete against this offense

[Stuhoo 79,798]

That penalty was a massive f up. Cinci was rolling and came up empty.

Pressure is part of the game.  You can still stay in the pocket with pressure. I’m saying Penix has happy scared feet.  Composed quarterbacks just take a step forward/back/side despite pressure. There’s going to be pressure. That’s the defensive lines job.

The ejection should be reevaluated in my opinion. Targeting was intended to eliminate head hunting from the game which I can’t disagree with but it’s becoming ridiculous

[Banksyrules 4,574]

Is it me or is the crowd a little quiet now.

Quite the downgrade from McFadden isn’t it. Going to be rough if you blitz with Allen all half and he can’t get home

[RaceToTheTop 25,021]

Gotta catch that.
