OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: 5 and 2 Justin who? Hand the Fields to Wilson

[Andy99]

We are really terrible at home openers, aren’t we? Lo

 

[Empoleon8771]

That field goal miss is on Muth, that was a really bad drop that would have had them firmly in field goal range. That both didn't have the distance and was wide.

Regardless though, I really like Fields' passing game today.

Minkah saved a TD on the Hail Mary.

Andy, please piss off.

I was not anticipating this level of accuracy and quick decision making.

Cmon scoreboard man we’re home…..

 

[WickedWrister]

Brownies losing

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Imagine throwing that and the receivers do the bare minimum jumping up to catch it with one hand up, lol.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Yeah that pass to Pickens was an absolute dime after going through all of his progressions. Granted he had a lot of time with the Chargers not blitzing, but that's exactly what you want to see with him.

Honestly, I think they need to loosen the shackles on him a bit. I think you can be more aggressive with him. I think it's pretty clear that the WR talent is a bigger issue than the QB talent.

Brownies losing

I don't even care what happens in this game as long as the Browns keep being ass with Watson and just always in general.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Boy my pickems are taking a giant turd so far

 

[MrBrightside]

Fields is playing so well. They have to fix this revivers room as they could have something.

 

[xlm34]

Pickens and Muth don’t drop passes and you’re most likely looking at a tie game at worst going into half.

Fields has looked pretty great but they have to get something going in the running game. And they have to start getting some more pressure on Herbert.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Great half from Fields. They need to open up the offense if they want to win this one.

I love the way he just nails the passes while in full scramble, shows a lot of maturity in his awareness which was a massive issue in Chicago, he'd scramble out of the pocket and then not look up field at all and end up screwed.

To quickly fix that as a Steeler being thrown in as the starter and showing that growth already, I'm loving this trade more than I did already.

Yeah, I would like a higher yards per attempt but I think that's mostly on the playcalling. But at least he's shown he's been able to process the defense quickly and get the ball out without taking an astronomical amount of sacks.

I saw the word drop, immediately had Diontae pop up in my head and got angry.

Regardless though, I really like Fields' passing game today.

His passing game has been strong. It's more or less on Smith to give him a little more rope in that regard, the last game the only reason his pass game didn't look better was because of three stupid penalties.

 

[WickedWrister]

Not much deep passing but the middle of the field truthers should be quiet for a week now.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Running the ball is probably not a option with this OL and against this defense

I knew it was going to be tough sledding in the run game but 6 yards on 5 RB carries is revolting.

He's been great and it sucks that his yards per attempt is low because of some dipshit penalties.

He knows he's playing well and it'll start opening up once Smith also gains confidence as an OC again and back into this situation. I just hope he does before they go back to Wilson before we get to see it.

We've been f***ed by the injury demons forever. I've given up hope with that a long time ago.

Sucks for Highsmith.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

It really sucks that Highsmith can’t stay on the field

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Miller with some of that shake and bake.

Nice, penalty and first down.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I really like this Miller WR

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Throw the ball more on first.

If they want to establish the run, they need to make the Chargers defense guess more.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

That’s coming back
