OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: 2022 Handball season has arrived!

[Empoleon8771]

KP has never thrown a deep ball that accurate.
Can't have an offense if your throws are limited to 10 yards deep.

Lol the ball was super underthrown and it was Pickens who made the play to catch it.

Pickett tends to overthrow deep while Trubisky seems like he underthrows deep.

Dunno. Saw him throwing some decent deep balls at Pitt

 

[Pens x]

Nice to get T. rex Pickett out of there

 

[Shaftception]

Those two throws is exactly what people have been saying Pickett needs to learn about being "nfl open".

Safety playing inside coverage? Throw it up to Pickens 1v1 on the outside. Take the chances when they're given. Same with the throw that lead to the PI, one on one, Pickens should win that, or force the db to make a play or penalty.

 

[Andy99]

Why did they allow Pickett to go in for another series if they suspected he had a concussion? Something smells really bad there…second concussion in like 6 weeks

Question: if when Pickett returned to the game and if he had thrown aTD, would he still be in there?

Yeah that’s a good point. Pickens beat the Ravens CB and the S was playing too far inside, so it made a very easy window for Trubisky to make that throw.

if he had tossed it a little farther pick's would still be running

 

[Hockeygod66]

Defense looking good!

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

NFL's concussion protocol is still a joke.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Pickett out for the rest of the game in concussion protocol.

The OL is going to get Pickett murdered if they don’t improve it.

 

[Common Sense]

I don’t want Trubisky to get hurt but getting to see Zach Gentry play QB would be a highlight of this season

 

[Empoleon8771]

Challenge: Dionte Johnson not running backwards after making a catch *IMPOSSIBLE*

Honestly, if Trubisky would have played like this at the start of the season, he wouldn’t have lost his job so quickly IMO. He doesn’t look like he’s playing to not lose his job, he’s just playing.

The OL has looked pretty good recently and even today outside that one confusion that led to the sack of Pickett

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Steelers offense averaging 4.8 ypc over the last 5 games and people are still shitting on Harris lol.

It’s been a recurring theme this year that the offense looks better with a QB coming in cold off the bench than it does when the QB has gotten first team reps all week.

 

[vodeni]

That was a bad one

 

[Shaftception]

Oops

 

[Andy99]

Yikes Trubisky…if we bench him, can we go with Gentry?

 

[Empoleon8771]

Yikes Trubisky

That was early season Pickett bad. No excuse for a veteran for throwing that ball.

 

[Common Sense]

Put in Gentry

 

[OnMyOwn]

That throw right there is why MT is a f***ing backup.

 

[PensandCaps]

Pickett doesn't throw right to the other team like that atleast lol.

 

[Shaftception]

Funny enough, they might still be better off taking risks offensively that might lead to turnovers but will keep their offense actually moving the sticks, than playing overly conservative to avoid turnovers which neuters the offense and leads to shank punts from harvin.

Put in Gentry

Under Tomlin. It doesn't matter what QB is in.

I mean, their offense has been working marvelously well over the past 4 games with Pickett “playing overly conservative”.

That interception was not “taking risks”, it’s Trubisky being horrendous at scanning the field. Which has been his issue for years.
