OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: They Killed Kenny!

[Shaftception]

Steelers have no chance if the D is just gonna give up TDs…needed to hold them to 3

You're right they don't, but you can't realistically expect a defense to hold a team under 15 points in most games.

That said, remind me again what is Tomlin's so-called specialty, if he were to even have one? Oh right, so much for that.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I do. He has sucked this year, and there’s no denying that. Canada sucks too, sure, but Pickett deserves some blame too, doesn’t he? Same with the OL and receivers.

There isn't anyone here who isn't blaming Pickett for being a part of the team's struggles offensively.

The failures of the offense are due to the entire team, both players and coaching.

 

[wheelz87]

And defense right back onto the field. Embarrassing

 

[Shaftception]

Kenny can't read zone very well.

 

[Rossi Rat]

Terrible throw.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

I expect a young QB to make mistakes, but those mistakes get amplified when the offense can't do f***all else.

Keep in mind we are talking about a qb who people claimed was super pro ready 2 years ago.

Kenny isn't 21 and he has shown exactly 0 signs of improvement.

3rd and long again. Would like to know the average distance the Steelers need for a first down on 3rd down. Seems to be behind the sticks a lot

 

[Empoleon8771]

That drive perfectly showed how everything is an issue with this team offensively. They're sitting with a 2nd and 2 only for Harris to get stuffed for a 2 yard loss and the OL to take a holding penalty, making it 2nd and long. Pickett makes a bad throw on 2nd down and then scrambles due to the pressure from the Rams on 3rd down.

The shame with this organization is that the defense will keep them just good enough for them to not suck enough to make the changes they need to make.

Put Mahoney in this offense and you’re seeing similar results. Online can’t give any protection

 

[ChaosAgent]

Of course we need to grade Pickett on a curve because of Canada. But he is still underperforming and is like 25-26.
Not a lot of upside.

Hey man, I was against taking any QB that year. I'm not some Picket fanboi. But it's just unfair to judge anyone in this Mickey Mouse offense.

 

[metalan2]

Making shit up? Roth was more efficient. It isn't a matter of debate. If Kenny isn't as good as a 40 year old immobile man with no arm strength he sucks.

He's gotten more rope than any Steelers qb ever. It is like cult of personality levels.

Roth was a 39 year football legend. Pickett was thrown into the worst offense in possibly NFL history.

Big Ben called his own offense to be more efficient, Pickett can't do that.

 

[OnMyOwn]

Defense looks spent and the offense is failing to produce on their own again.

Just no faith in this offense to string together drives and let the D rest at all.

An offense that’s so bad KP has their lone rushing TD.

 

[K Fleur]

Duck Hodges started 6 games here and we’re talking about Pickett having too much rope.

That comes down to not being able to run the ball effectively. Putting your QB in 3rd in 8 yards or more doesn’t help. I don’t care who the QB is

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Duck Hodges started 6 games here and we’re talking about Pickett having too much rope.

The huge, enourmous difference here is that nobody on earth tried to argue that Duck Hodges didn't suck.

Hell, the fact that you had to resort to a comparison to Duck Hodges to make Kenny look good makes my point for me.

 

[OnMyOwn]

This one is over. Just a depressing team to try and watch. Boring and no faith in literally anything the offense can do.

 

[End of Line]

Lucky to only be down 7 after that many missed kicks by the Rams

It’s just depressing because the defense isn’t even that bad. They’re just on the field all damn day….the time of possession is 29-15

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Rams lack of kicking game keeping the Steelers in it

 

[End of Line]

Damn KP two consecutive check downs?

 

[ChaosAgent]

Check down Kenny strikes again

 

[Rossi Rat]

This defense still needs to do more to win this game. Maybe the offense will hit on their one obligatory big play per game. Now would be a good time.

 

[Mr Jeff Jimerson]

Watching Kenny Pickit play quarterback is absolutely vomit-inducing.

Pickens is clearly getting fed up and wants Trubisky.
