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

Wtf are we doing????

Go for it dude. Go for it.

They need a FG regardless and feel like it's worth taking the FG now and hoping you can get the TD later.

Total Coward

Never mind. My math was off.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Down 8. Go for TD and 2.

They were down 9, not 8.

DJ is talented but he f***ing sucks otherwise.

Dudes a loser, let’s be honest.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Kicking a field goal here is not cowardly, it is common sense.

They need 2 scores to win either way.

We have to get the TD after. Better chance at 4th and 1 from the 15.

Yea I noticed that after I was irritated. I still go for TD because then you only need to get in FG range instead of all the way for the TD.

 

[TNT87]

Hey at least they targeted the middle of the field during the last 2 minutes of the game.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Honestly the thing that sucks with that play was that the Steelers could have been in a position to get a TD to take the lead had that Boswell FG from the 1st half been good.

This team just isn't very good. They're nothing special with Watt and they're downright bad without him. Why would this team be good with a backup QB as their starter and a defense completely propped up by Watt?

 

[Pens x]

That's bullshit... since I'm already on record saying since I live in Florida now and near Tampa, i also like the Bucs and what Bowles brings. Is Bowles white?

No, but did the Bucs create some “Tampa
Bay” rule? I firmly believe Tomlin would be gone at least a half decade ago from every other team.

 

[Common Sense]

He said Ryan Pickett again

 

[TNT87]

3 points in the 2nd half in prevent defense time.

 

[xlm34]

Just a piss poor effort all around really. I can’t really think of one player that played well. Maybe Highsmith?

I don’t think the play calling on offense was really that bad tonight. Trubisky was ok, but I still don’t really get what they’re doing playing him every week at this point.

 

[Pens x]

The receivers are so over this team. Things are going to get very ugly this season. Tomlin’s little no losing seasons claim to fame will fall this year. Maybe we can hire a real coach who finds actual NFL quality assistants - not creatures from the backwoods that will never amount to anything.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Playing Pickett in week 4 is about as ideal of a time as you can get to switch over to a new QB. You're getting an extra few days off and playing against a pretty bad team, that's when you should be introducing Pickett.

But you know they won't. They'll go 3-7 before Tomlin decides to put Pickett in.

Yeah I think today is about as good as you're going to see out of Trubisky, and if that's the case, why the hell is he starting?

 

[Common Sense]

It’s gonna take 45 minutes to play out the last 45 seconds of the game

 

[Pens x]

Another 3+ hours wasted watching this garbage.

 

[FlightlessBird]

LOL! Perfect ending.

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

I can’t stop laughing.

 

[Empoleon8771]

The Browns are just a better team than the Steelers, especially when Watt is out.

 

[Pens x]

Fast forward to 2023:

Tomlin has only one losing season in his career as a head coach!

 

[The Old Master]

bring on the pen's

This just isn't a good team and Pickett isn't going to change that unless he is an all-pro in the making.

Based on the success rate of developing qb's the chances that he is a future all-pro are slim.

I'm not against him playing, I just doubt he will make much of a difference.

I do think it would make a difference with Pickett under center, but this team still isn't good even with him starting as QB.

This team has 3 major issues: the defense is completely propped up by Watt, the play calling is terrible and Trubisky is terrible. Putting Pickett in only solves 1 of those 3 issues.
