OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Oh no! They are 3 and 1. Panic!

[Honour Over Glory]

That's how Russ would run.

 

[EVGENIMERLIN]

Atrocious call

 

[Coastal Kev]

One constant in the Tomlin era is high end talent backed up by non nfl players. Every offseason it's the boy and the dike scenario. DL and OLB ........... Other teams are stacked, Tomlin can't find talent unless the team overpays vets.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Oh eat shit. All the holding on the steelers D and they call that bs?

 

[WickedWrister]

That's a weak ass defensive holding

 

[xlm34]

I don’t know who else they’ve got, but they need to try someone other than Bishop in the slot. He can’t play this much.

 

[ChaosAgent]

We've been bad in the secondary forever. Maybe the Haden/Minkah years initially were good.

Dak Prescott, Lamb and these guys are good. You have to score 20 points to win. Can we get to 20?

 

[WickedWrister]

Longest drive ever holy shit

 

[mynameisnick4]

Minkah is having a terrible game.

EDIT: Replay showed that one wasn't on him.

 

[Peat]

That was fun from Payton

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Nice play Wilson.

 

[Andy99]

This game has 16-13 Dallas all over it lol

 

[WickedWrister]

Elliott woof

 

[ChaosAgent]

There goes Minkah preventing big plays again.

 

[Coastal Kev]

Highest Paid D... and they become pedestrian every year with a couple of injuries. I guess Tomlin thinks they'll go one year without ever getting an injury and then they'll be all set!

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Happy with your safe ball Tomlin and Smith? Morons.

 

[Peat]

Awright.

So yeah, I prefer the Steelers winning to losing.

But this now puts Fields into the situation that history says he can't do and which he'll have to prove he can, and it's not been going great. So... inappropriately excited to see this.

No, we cant

Tomlin thinks you can win games with an ok caretaker QB if you win the turnover battle…this game proves you can’t lol

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Does Pickens even want the f***ing ball ?

So now Pickens wants to put in effort.

 

[TNT87]

Terrible.

He gave up on that ball…it’s clear he’s becoming AB lol

 

[Mr Jeff Jimerson]

Defense did all you could ask for and Cowboys tried their hardest giving Steelers the game, but Arthur "Matt Canada Jr" Smith's horrendous offensive first half gameplan cost them the game. I think even Matt Canada wouldn't be dumb enough to try running that much with 2/3 of the team's best runners out.

Conor Heyward has more passing targets than Pickens…terrible

Pickens is only still a Steeler because their defense keeps winning games. If they were 1-3, he would be requesting a trade and rightfully so. I couldn't imagine the Vikings throwing to Jefferson only a few times a game, or Cincy throwing to Chase only a few times, etc.

 

[ChaosAgent]

Not good by JF. He gets one more chance assuming the defense doesn't collapse again.

 

[xlm34]

When you only have one good receiver and that receiver has pretty much given up…you’re gonna have a bad time.

 

[Shaftception]

Have we run any slants or digs over the middle? Crossing routes? Anything to get a bit of opening within 2 seconds of the snap? Like most other modern offenses?

No other franchise would accept literally half a decade of mediocre at best offense when that's the most important part of the game with all the rules favoring it.

What I wouldn't do for some young creative minds in this old folks home of a franchise.
