OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Steelers need a new ball thrower for the handball game thingy

[xlm34]

It’s been pretty obvious that there hasn’t been much of a real competition for the starting QB job, but I’m still a little disappointed Pickett hasn’t had much of a chance to run with the starters.

Hopefully he gets a few drives with them this game.

 

[Andy99]

We better see Pickett after this punt…

 

[Al Smith]

This team can’t defend the middle of the field…I know our ILBs suck but come on…

I'm guessing if this were the regular season, Hockenson would have about 5 catches right now. On the first play of the game Bush was about five yards behind him.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Put kp in

 

[Coastal Kev]

They are so below average on both lines..... you simply cant win with studs on the edges but weak on the lines. Farts

 

[The Old Master]

We better see Pickett after this punt…

you want a qb controversy? the coach doesn't.

 

[Andy99]

Yep, he’s playing Trubisky again lol

and great, TJ is injured lol…why is Tomlin playing him anyway into the second quarter?

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

So you would take Trent Dilfer over Dan Marino then right? I mean after all… 1 SB- 0 SB

Nice work by Bush and Jack.

Ya nice to see Bush make a play.

 

[TNT87]

Now Watt?

 

[OnMyOwn]

Why the f*** was TJ in for any more than 2 series? This guy is killing me…

 

[Andy99]

Just not that impressed with Trubisky…hes about the same as Rudolph imo…just meh

 

[Mr Jeff Jimerson]

 

[Andy99]

Steelers O is just as lame as last season…at least it has a chance to be better with Pickett in there…

 

[Coastal Kev]

tj will be always injured during this new contract.

offense was putrid this game.

 

[Pens x]

Tomlin is trying to get a free pass for this season based on injuries I guess.

We need to hire someone to tell dumbo when to take out starters in the pre season next year. Whoever they hire can be friends with the person we had to hire for clock management since Tomlin can’t read a clock.

 

[Pens x]

Tomlin REALLY does not want a QB controversy.

 

[Coastal Kev]

New year same undisciplined crappy team....

 

[Andy99]

No idea why Minkah, Heywood are still in there and why Trubisky played this whole half, despite showing not much more than Tim Boyle…

 

[Pens x]

Jesus, take Harris out.

 

[The Old Master]

Tomlin REALLY does not want a QB controversy.

if he dosen't get to play, how can you tell who's better.

 

[Coastal Kev]

They have no chance against cincy with Mitch. I’m betting the farm on Cincy. I‘m thinking 10k

 

[EvGeno]

I get that the offense hasn’t looked great, but why would you want them to make Pickett starter in his rookie year with this line etc.? All the negative Nellies on here say the Steelers will be terrible anyway. And if they did start Pickett, everyone would complain about him being rushed.

 

[Andy99]

That was a nice throw by Trubisky but Lions second teamers are in there

 

[Pens x]

Good drive. Mitch got it going. The Lions are trash.

It doesn’t matter. The problem is Tomlin. This team will always be a mess for the remainder of his tenure
