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

[Peat]

This is Beanie Bishop's best game unless he takes a shit on the pitch in the second half.

 

[The Old Master]

now i need to stay up.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

It is so frustrating that the Steelers offense for years have been terrible except for when they run a 2 minute drill and actually pass on early downs and the offense goes from terrible to acceptable.

 

[WickedWrister]

No 3rd down conversions is an issue but it helps when you score off turnovers

 

[Empoleon8771]

With how gashed the defense has looked tonight, going into the half 15-13 is not as bad as it could be.

 

[bambamcam4ever]

I dont know how people can watch this game and think Fields would be better.

Wilson is a bit rusty but he has made more impactful passes in that half than fields has all year and Kenny made his whole career.

What are you smoking dude? Wilson had 3 underthrown deep passes that Pickens/the refs bailed him out on. And a 3 yard crosser to Friermuth that went for 30. His TD to Pickens was nice but that's the only good play he's made.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

They act like Fields couldn't throw either, Smith choosing the run to set up a pass bs wasn't on him. Wilson being fine is great but it wasn't like Fields was awful.

The narrative the team on air keep spinning with their subtle jabs is f***ing lame.

I've been super critical of Khan not bringing in a WR to replace Johnson but I'll definitely not complain about adding Jackson. He's a great CB2 for this team, really like him as a piece for the next couple of years.

Mike Williams is basically a Steeler after this game ends.

 

[WickedWrister]

Wilson hasn't been amazing but he's accounted for a few chunk plays - average I guess?

 

[Empoleon8771]

The 49ers are thinking Aiyuk has a torn ACL according to the halftime report. After all of that Aiyuk watch nonsense I can't say I'm sad that they're 3-4 with Aiyuk now being out

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Yeah average. Which is fine given how long he's been off from a regular season game.

His impactful plays are underthrown deep balls that Pickens has made exceptional catches/drawn penalty on.

Fields needs to learn how to put more touch/air under his deep balls that's for sure something he couuld learn from Russ, but Russ has also missed clear running lanes Fields would've ran for double digit yards on in multiple situations tonight.

I'm not sold either way yet, though I'd prefer regardless who is the qb that they continue to take shots downfield.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Wilson hasn't been amazing but he's accounted for a few chunk plays - average I guess?

Yeah he has made 2-3 nice plays but was terrible outside of it. So a net meh I'd say.

People are criticizing the moon ball to Pickens for it being underthrown, but I don't feel it's fair to do that.

For the bullshit we fans were put through for that drama, I guess karma. But still sucks to see anyone injured like that. Karma is a fickle bitch though.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

For Wilson's first game in a year coming back from a calf injury I'm pleased with his performance so far.

As sad as it is 13 points in a half is an above average half for this organization.

 

[xlm34]

Yeah I think average is fair. Looked like complete shit early on, but made a couple nice throws.

Definitely not good enough to quell any QB controversy but not bad enough to make Tomlin look like a total dunce. Although he was flirting with it early on.

 

[Shaftception]

Mike Williams is basically a Steeler after this game ends.

But is he any good anymore is the question.

Pens and Steelers are trying to one up each other on how badly they can coach their teams.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

If wilson can throw on of those moon balls to a guy in stride we might have something

Wilson did that a lot in Seattle. He had dudes who could go up and get contested balls. I am ok with trying it a couple times a game

All 3 of the passes to the TE’s were well executed by Wilson, but he was a little fortunate on how far they all went for. The deep passes were all of the heave ‘n pray variety - which I’m fine with - but they certainly were generous to give him that many deep pass calls. Seemed like a panic move by Tomlin after most things weren’t working.

Yeah the passes to the TEs he did his job but they're something any NFL QB should be able to execute consistently.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

I think they need to get the ball to Washington more. He can punish guys in space

 

[Peat]

Feel like Wilson could have gone for the punch out rather than the tackle there.

 

[Pengwins]

That was weird how Minka backed off of Wilson

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Caught a break with the play call on 3rd and 2 there
