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

[Peat]

Just remembered I benched the Steelers defence in fantasy this week. My lack of faith is getting punished in the best way.

IF the offense gets better as the season progresses, and IF no one important gets hurt on defense (knock on wood), at least the games this season may be entertaining to watch

You're not the only one suprised though.

 

[Andy99]

We needed to hold the ball longer than that on offense…really terrible series…not impressed with Trubisky at all

 

[vodeni]

MT has plenty of time, no receivers got open?

 

[SomeDude]

It was only 4 yards but seeing a Steelers QB move quickly made me feel like I sat on the fast forward button.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Cincy needs to be at 6 or less at the half.

 

[SomeDude]

Minkah is still having to make every tackle

 

[EvGeno]

Cincy needs to be at 6 or less at the half.

My family and I are saying we need a 40 point lead at halftime to have a chance once our defense starts getting tired, lol

 

[TotesTorts]

Tough to sustain drives when the OL can’t open running lanes

 

[ChaosAgent]

We'll never know but I can't help but suspect he might have been worth the pick if he hadn't gone to a colossal tyre fire.

I think too much is made of the Bears dysfunction, and Matt Nagy as a punching bag.

Trubisky was a talented but ultimately a developmental QB who only started 1 year in college. The Bears came apart when their defense went from "best in the league" to just above-average.

I think he could be a Tannehill type here.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Poor gap control....

Lol you're not wrong.

 

[OnMyOwn]

Welp blew that one. Gave up momentum into the half…

 

[TNT87]

Incomplete.

 

[Andy99]

At we held them to 3

 

[OnMyOwn]

Wow I stand corrected. What a hold.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Ok but you have to score a TD here now.

Cincy needs to be at 6 or less at the half.

They did both of these things and I still don’t feel good about where it’s at lol.

 

[TotesTorts]

Stellar first half by the defense. Reminds of the Bills game last year

2 head coaches, 3 offensive coordinators isn't it? And so few weapons around him. You don't have to point the finger at any one guy to think that's going to make it real tough on a developmental QB.

Hard to call an org a tire fire when they won 10+ games in 2018 and went .500 in 2019.

The Bears signed Allen Robinson as a big acquisition for Trubisky and he was his favorite target.
Ultimately also the Bears are a team that invested in their defense first/foremost and maybe could have used someone more polished coming out.

I think in the end Trubisky deserved to not go on with the Bears, but retained potential to be a decent NFL QB. We may be the beneficiaries. But he was never going to be worth the #2OA and the trade that preceded it.

 

[Andy99]

Team looks too much like last season.…Steelers D will keep the team in it in the first half (expecting Bengals to make adjustments and put up points the first series of the second half).…The O will play too conservatively and too many 3 and outs and the Steelers will lose the lead

 

[Shrimper]

I like our start so far

If we can get a score on our next drive that'd be good

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Harris with decent vision there but why is he shaking and baking in the open field?

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

The line play really is incredibly terrible for both teams in this game.
