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

[Goalie_Bob]

Totally Tomlin’s fault that Mitch threw 3 INT in clear FG territory.

 

[Smoke]

Defense needs a ton of work up front. Cam got too old and there’s no one else. 0 push when it was obvious run situations most of the game.

Exactly. This defense doesn't work unless you have a monster DT

 

[ziggyjoe212]

If Dallas loses to the Texans it will be a good day regardless of anything else

Why?

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

Not really lol

Edit: told you, Steelers couldn’t stop them running on third and three, game over

This is like patting yourself on the back because you figured out that “snow is white”.

Is it bad that I trust trubisky more than KP?
We have a legit offense when Trubisky is in there. If only he can knock off the INTs.

Yeah it's bad considering he literally lost them the game with his interceptions. The interceptions completely cancel out any good he did this game. I am no Kenny nut hugger but they likely win with him in the game.

Uh, both of our QBs are bad but for different reasons, that’s a big reason why we’re 4-8

I dont think we were winning with Kenny either…he wasn’t pulling the trigger on passes…both QBs aren’t very good

You trust a guy that just threw three picks and lost the game over the guy who is 3-1 since the bye and has 123 passes without a pick?

Makes sense.

They likely win the game if MT only throws two picks… but he wanted the trifecta.

Yes because that’s an incredibly dumb take

 

[Pens x]

Get a QB this off-season.

 

[JTG]

I'd almost take Siaki Ika in the 1st round just because we need a NT so badly. Our run defense is atrocious.

 

[wheelz87]

Games won and lost in the trenches, will forever be this way. We don’t invest in these for whatever reason. Shiny toys like clay and Diontae and Najee and they are all garbage.

That legit offense scored 14 points today.

Trubisky sucks ass

Beyond dumb.

We have six years now of MT doing this kind of stuff.

He’s been telling us who he is since he came into the league.

Time to believe him for those without a clue.

 

[ZorkEnchanter]

Gonna disagree with you about our talent

I said skill positions not as group or team:

Frier and Pickens are really good, could be great or incredible or falloff (too early to tell)
Minka is great.
Watt is a difference maker. Top 10 NFL talent.
Najee is a above average... he could have another 1,000 yard season behind this horrible offensive line.
Pickett is decent, not sure where this guys stands

WR Group has talent.
Offensive Line as a group is bottom 5 in the league.
Defensive Line as a group is bottom 10 in the league.
Coaching is bottom 5 in the league.
Backstop looks middling.
Linebackers look middling.

I'm pretty sure that is a non-facetious overall assessment. You add Tomlin and his coaching tree and it should be the disaster we see on field.

We will not win games being this weak in the trenches. We can't with Tomilin and his vanilla coaching choices... (not one of them is considered good or great. It's insane how average his Assistants are, not one up-and-comer...)

Like I said we have some talent at key skill positions, coaching is doing us no favors... I'm not going to judge them with Canada and Tomlin steering the ship. Defense is okay but they are a roll of the dice, if we had better coaching they should be more consistent.

Offense today: 14 points, 329 total yards, 3 turnovers
Offense last 4 games: 23.25 points/game (all games between 19 and 30 points), 351 average total yards per game (all games between 323 yards and 379 yards), 0 turnovers

Purely galaxy brain stuff to act like the offense works better with Trubisky. Just because Trubisky hit some sexy deep throws because of nice plays by WRs doesn't mean the offense works better with him. Just a downright lunatic take.

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

Steelers have allowed over 330 yards rushing last two games.

So now they can’t stop the pass or the run.

They only gave up like 100 pass yards today. And still lost lol.

 

[Pens x]

49ers will produce yet another head coach this summer when Ryans is hired by someone. Meanwhile, we have guys that likely couldn’t get jobs at community colleges.

Tomlin’s coaching tree is a blade of dead grass.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I mean, is Pickett actually bad? He was 3-1 in their last 4 games, while he would have been 4-0 had the defense not crumbled against the Bengals. He doesn't have a turnover since October. He's not lighting the world on fire, but he certainly looks like a competent starting QB since the bye week.

Trubisky is bad because he's a flawed QB. Any sort of issues with Pickett right now are just him growing as a player.

Too many people have no clue how to evaluate QBs in here.

Most NFL QBs can put up 250-300 yards if they don’t take care of the ball and just throw it up for grabs 25-30x.

Literally all MT had to do was not throw three picks… just two… and they likely win.

Couldn’t even do that.

And hell, Pickett was doing exactly that earlier in the year. Look at his game against Miami and NYJ, those are great examples of just chucking it and hoping for the best.

People saying the offense in this game worked with Trubisky, how was this game any different than the 16-10 loss to Miami in week 7? Pickett threw for 257 yards and the offense had about 350 yards total, but Pickett had 3 interceptions and they only scored 10 points.

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

That’s because they gave up like 200+ on the ground.

If Ravens had any type of decent backup who could kind of throw the ball they would have gotten eaten up as usual.

Heck even with 3 picks if the FG isn’t blocked they probably win.
