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

[Goalie_Bob]

Next up will be Mike Sullivan.

 

[Flying Dego]

Looking at our schedule I'm pretty confident this offense can win maybe 1 game.
Browns - toss up
Jets - toss up
Bills - big time L
Bucs - guarantee L
Dolphins - guarantee L
Eagles - guarantee L

We are gonna be in a world of hurt especially the last 4 games before the buy. Big yikes.

Thank God Cincy's long snapper went down.

Seriously though. The Eagles and Dolphins look really good offensively. Brady won't lose to Tomlin. The Bills are top tier.

The Jets O looks better than us and Tomlin always flubbed games to bad Jets teams.

Someone convince me we win more than 1 in this stretch...

Tomlin always has a horseshoe up his ass (see Cincy game), so he will win more games than we think.

No TJ, Bens retired...I think that luck is run its course. Now he needs to coach to win games and I don't see it.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Maybe we can draft an OC if we get a high enough pick lol.

They'll sign a guy right out of coaching high school this time. If you can teach 15 year-olds, adults have to be a piece of cake.

Steelers vs. Bengals - Game Summary - September 11, 2022 - ESPN

 

[Monkey D Luffy]

UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM didn't win anything with Big Ben the last 10 seasons either

You're right, the one constant is the head coach. What isn't mentioned is that for much of that 10 years, the offense was the bright spot and the defense is what let them down. Over the years, their playmakers have moved on due to internal conflict, money, or poor management and the HOF QB has now retired.

Tomlin and Colbert have built a college-level gimmick offense that doesn't win at the line of scrimmage and can't move the ball vertically- heck, Kenny Pickett ran a more pro-style offense down the hall last year at Pitt. The quarterback's first read is either a dump-off to Najee Harris or a timing route on the boundary for 9 yards. This is the same thing that was happening last year, the only time it looked good was when Ben went no-huddle and called his own plays at the line of scrimmage.

I hear lots of people yelling for Canada to be removed but what about the guy who brought him in and is signing off on everything?

 

[Monkey D Luffy]

Ok I will bite how is this year 1 of the rebuild? Outside of the Qb they rebuilt the offense and the defense is top 5 and they have plenty of cap space to bring everyone they want back.
This season should be finding out if KP is the guy or not

Exactly, they're spinning their tires with Trubisky.

Get Pickett out there right away and see if he has the tools to be the guy.

If not, the Steelers need to tank for whoever the best QB is in the upcoming draft and go heavy OL.

Without TJ we are not in that game. My point still stands. We shall see.

Haden retiring….as a Brown? Yuck. Loved that guy while he was here.

Is there really anyone out there who needs to be convinced the steelers will not be winning much this year?

Surprisingly I feel there are a few fans. Though that number surely grows smaller.

if you retire as a brown, you'll never look back.

Four wins this year would be a realistic expectation.
Defense and luck (cinc game) playing into the wins.

Watt will be back though - remains to be seen how he plays then, but it's a factor.

I still see 8-9/9-8 because even with Duck Man and MR he found a way to win and be mediocre.

Being mediocre is a Tomlin super power.

 

[Peat]

So you want him to stick with plays that the defense is ready for?

Makes total sense.

How’s that been working out so far?

Again if he’s too stupid to make audibles, then what is this vet QB nonsense we are being told is the reason dude is STARTING?

Once again, Tomlin gonna Tomlin.

This. So much this.

Either they are heavily constraining Trubisky to be safe, which fits Tomlin's comments and the pass catchers' complaints, or Trubisky is being told to look for plays and can't see them so why the hell did they pick and back him?

All roads lead back to Canada, all roads from Canada lead to Tomlin, and the only hope is that seeing Pickett play is a road to Damascus moment that changes their whole philosophy.

On TJ ... haven't heard anything since the news he was getting 2nd/3rd opinions. Is that still the latest?

He only has a tear. not completely torn from the bone, thus they have stated he will be back in 5-6 weeks.

My thought is that he won't be back til after the bye week.

I've got an avatar bet with Bigdaddy

He believes we'll win 10 or more games

Tampa it's a little different this year under Bowles, they seem a little more run heavy but the offense is dealing with injuries so they are doing just enough to win.

But its The Defense that is playing lights out right now, like in 2020.

I hear lots of people yelling for Canada to be removed but what about the guy who brought him in and is signing off on everything?

My man. Finally someone new with common sense.

OMG if you believe this, then you are an idiot

"“We’re evolving to that[audibling], too,” Canada said. “[You have] a guy who played 18 years and a guy who just got here with a bunch of young players. We’re slowly building to that. We’re not where we want to be and we’re building to that.”"

The sickening thing is Rooney allows this to continue.
