OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Sneaking up onto training camp

[WickedWrister]

I think the obvious takeaway from the offense here is that they simply need more playmakers at WR. The running game is going to be inconsistent with the insanely young OL, but Pickens is the only WR worth a damn. It doesn't matter which QB is playing, the passing game is going to struggle with these WRs.

I think Fields is playing well, but Fields is simply not good enough to compensate for the lack of WR talent. And Wilson would be the same exact way.

And our margin of error gets even smaller when we take 9 penalties

You must have not seen any Broncos games last year. They had worst receivers than Steelers do now.

Stuck watching the ESPN gamecast, how has the defensive line looked? I don’t recall any sacks but I do see that there was some complaining about holding.

I’m watching Bengals-Chiefs because there’s two actual teams there that don’t play like the last three decades haven’t mattered lol

I'm not going to bitch too much about it because it massively overrates Trice, but I think there's a pretty easy case to make that they would have been better off keeping DJ and having Trice as a starting CB.

I will continue to watch every second of football I can, but the quality of the product these past couple of years has cratered. It’s just a flag fest every game

 

[Empoleon8771]

This game was already going to struggle because of the offenses of these two teams, but the refs are making it even worse. I just want this game to be over.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

That call on Porter is weak as shit.

 

[metalan2]

Nix is running for his life, somehow flags on both teams. NFL is AWFUL.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Refs are pure misery

 

[WickedWrister]

3 Joey Porter penalties?

 

[mynameisnick4]

flag flag flag flag flag flag flag flag flag flag flag flag flag flag flag flag flag flag flag flag flag flag flag flag flag flag flag flag flag flag

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Are the f***ing refs just making sure the game is absolute shit today?

 

[metalan2]

At this point with the referees, this is blatant cheating against the Steelers. The calls on Denver are obvious just calls, but always evened out by phantom defensive penalties.

 

[WickedWrister]

Holy shit these flags...

 

[Andy99]

Glad we’re letting Denver hang in there while our D gets exhausted ..

 

[Ulf5]

Drafting Bo Nix like 12th overall is so bad.

Had a sinking feeling most of the game, we'd lose 14-10, 14-13. After seeing Nix in action for 3 quarters, that feeling is almost gone lol.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Jfc, eat a pile of shit you stupid f***ing Refs.

This is going to come down to the last drive when the game should have been over at halftime.

A Tomlin classic.

 

[TNT87]

Can we at least get a first down on this offensive series?

 

[LeafSteel]

This has become unwatchable

 

[Shaftception]

I can't judge much from this game, these refs are completely ruining it with all these penalties.

Regarding the offense, this entire second half has been killed by crucial penalties.

They need to not commit penalties obviously, but you don't have this anal of a ref crew every week.

18 accepted penalties combined today
