OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Sneaking up onto training camp

[Empoleon8771]

Tomlin rejecting that penalty to go with 2 and 11 instead of 1st and 20 just shows how little Tomlin respects the Broncos offense. And frankly, it's hard to blame him.

 

[MrBrightside]

I actually like Penix more than I like either McCarthy or Nix, but yeah that pick with the Cousins contract is bizarre.

Drafting Bo Nix like 12th overall is so bad.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Outside of Jones, the Steelers young guys have been really, really good so far this season.

 

[MrBrightside]

Getting a holding penalty on 2nd and 1 cannot F’ing happen.

 

[End of Line]

McCarthy needs the best O line imaginable to be effective. What made Ttun so good was they had the best offensive line in college football with 5th and 6th year guys starting. He won’t be afforded that in the NFL.

These refs are getting a lot of airtime

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

49 just hit Fields 2 yards out of bounds.

 

[Empoleon8771]

That was such a dumb penalty for Heyward to take, Harris had the 1st down even without the hold.

 

[WickedWrister]

Penalties are killing every drive man

 

[Empoleon8771]

Rough day for the chain gang, one guy in Baltimore had cardiac arrest and needed CPR and another old guy just got demolished by Fields.

 

[Andy99]

Steelers offense has looked worse this half than the first..outside a 37- yard penalty for them, they’ve done shit…Payton must have made some adjustments

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

More flags.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Wow holding like crazy Denver.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Call a hold on Watt you cowards.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I still think Smith has overall done a good job, but I really don't like some of his play calls in the second half here. A 5'9" Calvin Austin should simply not be running a route in the center of the field.

 

[Shockmaster]

Refs missed an easy hold on Watt.

 

[The Old Master]

we need to start going with some fancy blitz's

 

[JTG]

They really need to get Austin involved on some designed roll outs. Austin and Ben would have been a great success. He actually has really good hands.

 

[End of Line]

Refs missed an easy hold on Watt.

His last name isn’t Parsons or Garrett he won’t get the help

 

[MrBrightside]

The offense seems better but it’s still only scored 31 points in 7 quarters.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

The OL has not been good enough today

Yeah I was gonna say I feel dumb complaining about him since he’s so much better than Canada. But I think a lot of the negatives we heard about as a play caller have been on display the first two weeks.

Pretty predictable and some of his personnel choices are kinda suspect.

 

[WickedWrister]

Holy shit these penalties

 

[Empoleon8771]

I don't think the calls have been egregious today, but the refball in this game is making this game really drag on.

Yeah he's a decent OC that has issues. It's just night and day from last year because Matt Canada is a shitty college OC.

 

[MrBrightside]

3rd and 20 and you give it up. More that can’t happen.
