OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Sneaking up onto training camp

[Shaftception]

Ok there's that play that apparently is Smiths go to down the field route.

Fields was too high on the throw.

 

[Empoleon8771]

The conservatism of this offense is even more frustrating because Fields has shown to be able to make good aggressive throws so far.

 

[Shaftception]

Is that atlantas first penalty?

Nvm answered

This offensive line is doing better than I feared.

Yeah Spencer Anderson got beat clean once but I havent seen too many other bad reps

 

[Andy99]

Not impressed with the play calling…sorry

 

[K Fleur]

Biggest problem with Tomlin as a coach is that he thinks he can win this game 12-10.

Boswell fantasy owners eating good today.

BOZ

 

[Andy99]

When Boswell is your best player, it’s sad…

 

[Peat]

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

I have no complaints about that call but don't tell me it wouldn't have made a difference to the score. And I've seen stuff like that not get called. Shouldn't, but it does.

I know he share the same colors with Iowa, but our offense doesn’t have to be as consistently putrid as theirs

 

[Night Shift]

I can't believe cool dude Tomlins dome has more gold than Notre Dames dome. Truly inspiring stuff

They never show a definitive view on the broadcast so this is the nearest thing. Based off this, he was moving BUT not in the neutral zone. Perfectly timed IMO.

No, my comment on not making a difference had to do with the refs not calling a couple penalties on Atlanta, not with the impact of our two penalties

6 more FGs to get to 30 points!

This offense blows.

Practically the same as last year. More playaction for sure, but still barely any open targets from play design.

Just more beat the man in front of you tomlin nonsense.

 

[Coastal Kev]

What sissy play calling. Find out if you can be great, quit trying to win ugly and being mediocre.

 

[Son Goku]

Bos is the Tom Brady of kickers

 

[Andy99]

Atlanta O line makes wide wide holes on our D line..,being dominated…Queen is also MIA

Tomlin beat the chiefs in the playoffs with only field goals, and it's haunted us ever since.

 

[Empoleon8771]

My impression of this offense is that it's just not very talented. I don't think anyone in the offense is having a "bad" game but it's just not very good in general.

Fields is mediocre, Smith is mediocre, their WRs are mediocre and their OL is mediocre. There really aren't any obvious major issues but there's nothing there that's any better than mid.

 

[Andy99]

Finally some penalties against ATL…yet a big one against us lol

They're still scared to death of the middle of the field.
