OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Sneaking up onto training camp

[NewAgeOutlaw]

That was some horrendous situational awareness by Pickens.

 

[WickedWrister]

Not the worst half of football I guess... Scored on 3/4 drives, just no TD's to show for it. Thought that was a bullshit OPI on Pickens but whatever, no point complaining about it.

 

[Night Shift]

Tomlin not using a timeout as if you can bank them for the 2nd half. It is officially football season.

Its unfortunate..Cool doood Tomlin lost part of his brain during the shaving of the head process.

 

[WickedWrister]

In other news... Carolina is still terrible lol. Losing 30-0 at halftime

 

[Shaftception]

The bengals choking against the pats would be a pleasant surprise today.

 

[Coastal Kev]

Steelers deserve to be losing this game…sorry to the partisans…overall I thought Falcons O and D were better…refs aren’t great but can’t blame them

Sorry Andy, you're way off base with this one. Refs gave ATL 2 TO's and Watt is being tackled nearly every play.

 

[WickedWrister]

Sick throw by Fields there, Pickens almost blew it by burning out the clock but it ended up fine.

They need to let Fields push the ball down the field more, both of the throws he has made have been absolute dimes.

Sorry Andy, you're way off base with this one. Refs gave ATL 2 TO's and Watt is being tackled nearly every play.

Refs called two penalties against the Steelers and both were legit imo though the OPI was a little picky…you can argue that they could have a called a couple more on Atlanta, especially that helmet being pulled off but I really don’t think that would have made a difference In the score…think ATL was slightly better and that’s reflected in the halftime score

 

[Night Shift]

May the Golden Dome of Tomlins head will them to victory.

 

[Andy99]

Why are we tossing back to Najee who’s not a burner…get Warren that play

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Absolute chickenshit playcalling.

 

[Andy99]

Fields holding on to the ball too long

Absolute chickenshit playcalling.

Tomlin special

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

I will never in my life understand the idea of protecting a qb who isn't a good passer by having them almost exclusively pass in clear passing situations.

 

[Shrimper]

Our offense STINKS

 

[Colonel Mustard]

The ole run run pass

 

[Shaftception]

My kingdom for some quick slants or dig routes across the middle.

Wilson was supposed to be the one incapable of throwing across the middle.

I can't watch another season of this no mistake anemic bs playcalling tomlin forces.

Also, so where's all the Playaction cutting the field in half to make it easier on the qb that this coordinator was supposed to specialize in?

Wheres Friermuth's targets?

Bueller?

 

[Coastal Kev]

The only time the Steelers are aggressive is when they're losing. Pathetic play calling to open the half

 

[Andy99]

Watt saves the day!

 

[WickedWrister]

 

[wheelz87]

watt just beat 3 falcons to the ball. incredible.

That Watt call maybe erases the TD. Who knows what happens if the OPI isn't called on Pickens.

I absolutely don't want to be "this is all fine it's just the refs" but it's a close enough game that different calls would change a ton

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

When the Steelers force a turnover but that means you have to watch the offense again:

 

[K Fleur]

Man by the 4th quarter we might have 100 passing yards.

 

[Peat]

Liked that aggression on 2nd and 1.

 

[Andy99]

That Watt call maybe erases the TD. Who knows what happens if the OPI isn't called on Pickens.

I absolutely don't want to be "this is all fine it's just the refs" but it's a close enough game that different calls would change a ton

Except that call against Watt was 100% correct…he was a half second early
