OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Sneaking up onto training camp

[End of Line]

f***ing weak

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

The way that drive was called was so chickenshit.

 

[Andy99]

Kick the FG
I hate Jeffersondown in the red zone

 

[MrBrightside]

Oh yeah that was absolutely PI. You can't do that.

He didn’t initiate the contact. If Steratore disagrees with a call it must be bad.

 

[WickedWrister]

Frustrating. Fields and the offense looks good today but only 10 points to show for it.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Okay if Gene is saying it's bad, I'll take back my comment. I think his comments there make a lot of sense, Jefferson was just running his route and the DB just ran into him.

Yes, it's designed to be a pick play but it was very clearly not initiated by Jefferson.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

That was a bad call. I really don’t know how you defend that call

 

[Honour Over Glory]

10-0 after the half is fine. Refs wanting to be the f***ing main character today, not so much.

 

[JTG]

This offense is capable. They have showed a lot the last 2 games. It's just a matter of coming together.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Jefferson should have absolutely run out of bounds there and left like 4 seconds on the clock. That's enough time to make a quick shot at the endzone and also kick the field goal after.

I do think it's valid to say that the Steelers may have just kicked the field goal with 4 seconds left, but that was a boneheaded move by Jefferson IMO.

I felt he didn't initiate it and like Gene it didn't seem obvious enough so the refs were just looking for a reason, any reason and this was so borderline and ridiculous this early in the season to call.

 

[WickedWrister]

Pickens must be furious lol, he's had 3 huge plays called back due to penalties in 1.5 games

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

If anything it looked like the Broncos blew their assignment because the corners didn't seem at all sure who had Pickens.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Well I mean it's nice to not rely on Boswell for all of the offense this time lol

 

[Andy99]

Jefferson has already incurred my wrath and it’s only game 2 lol

 

[K Fleur]

Fields having two of the best and most boring games of his career.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Can't really complain about being up 10-0 at halftime right now, especially with the Steelers receiving in the 3rd. The Broncos don't seem to have a functioning offense while the Steelers offense is working well. The only blemishes have been penalties against Jones, and Jones is presumably benched.

If they get a TD to start the 2nd half I'll be feeling very comfortable for the rest of the game.

He’s gonna get another one. He’s been killing Surtain all game.

Stop with the Patterson crap, Art.

It's what the NFL is. f***ing awful product.

 

[End of Line]

It's what the NFL is. f***ing awful product.

Let us not forget that the NFL is classified as Sports Entertainment, the same as the WWE.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Elliott with the boom.

 

[Peat]

That was one hell of a 3rd and 1 call from Denver
