GDT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Football

[Buddy Bizarre]

Score is 36-20...Vikings just score. 10 mins left in the game.

Steelers come out and run 3 straight times, which is all I needed to see

This is a pattern. After they get scored on, the 1st down play is always a run. With a 90% chance of another run on the very next play. Happened all season long
The lack of urgency of anyone is mind boggling

Claypool is big, fast, and not any good.

What's funny to me is that even if they end up with a losing record this year, the group of people that defend Tomlin will still say "well, he's only had 1 losing season!" and "it came with an old, beat up QB who was on the verge of retirement, what did you expect him to do!" The goal posts will be moved heavily even if he has a losing season because the people that defend him just refuse to see his flaws

I would just like to point out how Trai Turner was babysitting basically the entire offensive line last night, plus Claypool after his... incident. He had to scream at Kendrick Green to snap the ball like, 3 separate times. Dude was practically the only person on the field who knew what was going on at any given time

If everyone seemed confused, what does that tell you?

It’s all about repeated patterns and Tomlin supporters prefer excuses so they don’t have to face reality.

The Steelers under Tomlin are the most undisciplined team in the NFL. It's truly embarrassing to see the decline of the Organization, and stunning. Not many see it either, but they soon will.

At least the Steelers didn't lose to the Lions!!!

Claypool: ""I have to be better. I got tackled near the hash and did my first down point. I went to hand the ball to the ref and he just got there. Even if I got right there and looked for them he wasn't there. The ball got knocked out of my hands, that is what cost us time."​

Hes blaming Turner

See, I told you they would lose this game and you didn’t believe me…better draft position incoming!

I also like how 22 comes up to Claypool initially to grab the ball and run some clock.... but he sees Claypool is being a dumbass and wasting time on his own, so he just walks away

I watch a lot of football, this type of insanity only happens on poorly coached teams. Most teams/Coach's would never allow that to occur. Whether it's drafting the wrong guy in the first place or not having a coach that is respected, I don't care.

Ya I was going to give you props, but I'm still mad at you for messing with my reverse voodoo last week.

If you make a bold prediction they will lose the last four and they do - I may love you again.

Sorry, can’t do that…I think they’re going to win two of the last four to end the season 8-8-1, just so every media member is able to repeat again that Tomlin has never had a losing season lol…

I'm thinking the same... losses at KC and Ten.. Browns go Browns and Ben uses his old man strength to will one last V agt them... Ravens may be sitting Jackson final week if they are out of the division hunt... Tomlin owns him anyway so may not even matter.

No losing seasons for Tomlin! Let's ignore another late season collapse and the fact it will be the first time since Noll was hired that they haven't won a playoff game in 5 years.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Lol

i think they win next week at home against Tenn just because, you know, extra time to prepare and this performance was embarrassing, and then lose one of the Browns or Ravens games depending on circumstances of those teams and whether they need that game or not…but whatever lol

 

[pistolpete11]

lol it's red flag after red flag after red flag with Claypool and some people are defending him. AB wasn't a problem initially either. You might say those guys are good enough that you have to put up with some shit, but I'd at least be very cautious before making any type of serious commitment to him long term.

 

[Pengwins]

gotta love Ben calling out Tomlin. Tomlin is trash

 

[Pengwins]

Hes blaming Turner

No, he's blaming the Vikings player that knocked the ball out of their hands. Should have been penalized

 

[TimmyD]

Ryan Clark hammering Claypool this morning. What's even better is if you look at the replay it looks like Claypool is yelling at Turner at the line because he came over and tried to take the ball away from him to save the time. He was legitimately upset that someone came over and tried to stop him from celebrating

I'm not an LOS rules expert, but Claypool looks illegal in the formation as well.........lol

If the refs call that, game over right there.

I also saw that and thought the same thing. He line up so lazily because he couldn't wait for the ball to be spiked to get back to celebrating (which he did right after the ball was spiked)

AB was good enough to put up him his problems for awhile at least.

Claypool is just a dude who has like 2 good games in a whole season.

yeah, i thought the same thing. F Claypool and props to Trai Turner
