OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Dont panic, they are 2-0!

[Empoleon8771]

This defense needs to step up and play to its pay scale but it's simply not doing that today.

 

[mynameisnick4]

Old man Flacco slicing this defense up on 3rd down.

 

[cookthebooks]

Imagine being a WR bailing out on a ball afraid to get hit then celebrating a flag like you did something other than getting popped.

celebrating a pass interference like that should be grounds alone for picking up the flag

 

[Smoke]

15 yard penalty for playing hard

He did everything the league tells players to do. Doesn't matter.

 

[SomeDude]

celebrating a pass interference like that should be grounds alone for picking up the flag

If he doesn’t get scared and pull up, he either catches it or at least gets a hand on it and Minkah doesn’t get flagged. This is stuff refs should be smart enough to consider.

 

[Mr Jeff Jimerson]

That was stupid as shit from Minkah.

Please learn football.

 

[Coastal Kev]

Cam not making that sack killed them. Highest paid players not showing up. TJ, Minkah, Cam... Queen.......all net to nothing.

You pay guys to be difference makers and none of them are today. Combine that with scared offensive playcalling and you get an upset and a disaster. It's not rocket ball

 

[Smoke]

I'd like for anyone giving Minkah shit for that play to explain to me what he is supposed to do.

I guess just not play the game

 

[MrBrightside]

The level of annoying on that drive is off the charts.

 

[WickedWrister]

Yeah, that's probably GG

 

[mynameisnick4]

I really don't get why people call this defense elite. Absolutely torched on 3rd down over and over by a 60 year old Flacco.

 

[JakeNBake59]

and thats game

 

[Empoleon8771]

Every single time this defense is asked to do something, it folds. Horrendous game from the defense.

Is Watt even playing? He's been completely invisible.

 

[TNT87]

Nice job D

 

[Coastal Kev]

I'd like for anyone giving Minkah shit for that play to explain to me what he is supposed to do.

I guess just not play the game

He was fine that play...........but tell me when we should expect a play to be made by 2nd highest paid safety???????????????????

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

I hated everything about that drive.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Just keep leaving guys wide open

 

[metalan2]

If the Steelers rush 4, Flacco makes a huge completion 100% of the time.

 

[Ugene Magic]

This would be frustrating if it were just bad calls. This team is not as good as their record shows. We all know this.

 

[ChaosAgent]

The defense is statistically elite, but the vibes continue to be that if they faced Mahomes or Allen they would give up 40.

 

[cookthebooks]

keep doing what’s not working on third down right until they finally score is some real dumb shit

 

[Smoke]

He was fine that play...........but tell me when we should expect a play to be made by 2nd highest paid safety???????????????????

The entire team hasn't shown up I don't know what you want me to say

 

[Empoleon8771]

The problem with this defense is that it's only built based on the pass rush, so if that is getting shut down in any given game, the defense is just going to get completely diced up.

The defense is statistically elite, but the vibes continue to be that if they faced Mahomes or Allen they would give up 40.

It's not about the QB as much as it is about pass protection. Their entire defense is reliant on getting sacks.

 

[Coastal Kev]

Just keep leaving guys wide open

and they're only rushing 4...........same crap. At least the couple of times they brought 6 they should have had big plays.

no sense of urgency......... none

 

[Honour Over Glory]

The refs and that bullshit call on Minkah and then the Colts destroying the Steelers defense, the latter is just not what I expected today at all. Even with injuries. I could have done something else with my morning that wasn’t frustrating to watch like this shit.

At least my good mate is having a better day for his Bengals at the game.
