OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: They Killed Kenny!

[OnMyOwn]

I just feel for TJ, TBH.

 

[ChaosAgent]

Mitch pretty terrible INT.

Not sure how to feel about the defense. It gets takeaways and big plays, but it can get gashed and give up huge yardage. Considering how much we have invested there, hard to say we are getting the return.

 

[Coastal Kev]

You really can't be taken serious as a decent team with one of the worst offenses in the league.

The defense is being asked to play way too many snaps.

The defense is being asked to play way too many snaps.

Right. If the offense had any kind of rhythm and sustained drives, let us f***ing play from AHEAD for once, you’d be able to judge more appropriately.

The defense literally can’t do anymore than they are, other than play offense…which they’ve done this year as well.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Defense did its job today. Other side of the ball has been hot garbage

3 and 4 yard passes isn’t going to cut it

 

[TNT87]

Steeler QBs are really good at running into pressure. OL couldn't block 3 guys.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I'm not even mad with how Trubisky played today, this is ultimately just who he is. Massive risk taker that sometimes gets bit in the ass through those risks.

 

[RustyRazor]

Waste an entire year of guys' careers because you are too cowardly or arrogant to make the obvious move and axe the offensive coordinator.

 

[ChaosAgent]

We were losing when Trubisky entered, and we lose. Can't start with 4 punts,again.

Mason Cole...how many times did this clown bounce snaps today? Come on dude.

 

[JTG]

If Ben had these WRs this offense would be lights out.

 

[Rudy Russo]

Waste an entire year of guys' careers because you are too cowardly or arrogant to make the obvious move and axe the offensive coordinator.

Mike Sullivan?

 

[RustyRazor]

If Ben had these WRs this offense would be lights out.

Which Ben? Post injury Ben was terrible.

 

[ChaosAgent]

If Ben had these WRs this offense would be lights out.

Ben had Brown, Martavis and JJSS. It was great. But Brown went crazy and Ben got washed.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

This is some elite stat padding here.

 

[JTG]

Ben had Brown, Martavis and JJSS. It was great. But Brown went crazy and Ben got washed.

Pickens could very well be better than Brown if he had a QB to let him push the field. I have never seen a WR able to make the catches he can.

 

[TNT87]

Time for Coach Cliche and his word salad.

 

[PensandCaps]

2nd and 3, have all the time in the world. Trubisky launches a ball into 3 DBs.

But he turns into Mr. Checkdown when we need to move the ball and score without using any TOs.

 

[ChaosAgent]

Pickens could very well be better than Brown if he had a QB to let him push the field. I have never seen a WR able to make the catches he can.

Pickens has raw size/athleticism that Brown will never have, but Brown was one of the greatest WRs to ever play.

You could make the argument that 25-30% of receivers at any given time had better physical attributes than Brown but he was always in the top 5 best receivers. He's the best Steeler offensive player of my lifetime. Maybe ever.

 

[Coastal Kev]

Just saw the end of Phi/Wash= Rivera smiling and laughing while shaking hands after a loss. The league is a joke.

 

[Shaftception]

I thought it realistically possible for them to be 6-3 after the next 3 games expecting a loss against the Jags today. But Levis now might make the Titans game a threat, and they should be able to beat Love and the Packers, but nothing is a guarantee with this pathetic offense. Honestly it would be better in the long run to lose these games but they'll likely find some way to win at least one if not both.

The unfortunate thing is the fact their schedule is so weak the rest of the season and their defense somehow keeps them in games they have no business winning, they're going to end up with a .500 or better record just because half the league is as bad as they are. But they aren't a threat for any postseason success, so the only thing they're accomplishing this season is worsening their draft position.

The team has no real direction for the future. They refuse to tank to improve a rebuild they won't even commit to, they're no where good enough to compete for a championship anytime soon, they're seemingly satisfied with being as mediocre as possible, which is the worst position a football team can find themselves in.

 

[Rossi Rat]

Can’t wait to watch the Ravens blow out the Cardinals. A team that actually takes care of business.

 

[PensandCaps]

Every week they put up a historical stinker in the 1st half, not getting a 1st down until 4 minutes left is embarrassing.

How isn't Canada just fired automatically, every week is just horrific in the 1st half.

 

[Coastal Kev]

7 games in, and the offense still haven't scored a point on their 1st drive.

REALITY

 

[Shaftception]

Pickens has raw size/athleticism that Brown will never have, but Brown was one of the greatest WRs to ever play.

You could make the argument that 25-30% of receivers at any given time had better physical attributes than Brown but he was always in the top 5 best receivers. He's the best Steeler offensive player of my lifetime. Maybe ever.

If you keep an eye on Pickens he doesn't run most of his routes at full effort, even the one's he ends up getting targeted he's seemingly jogging the first half of the route. Decoy routes are a thing, but he doesn't hide it well at all when he's not expecting the ball coming his way.

Brown ran every route as if he was getting the ball, mostly because he often was, but his football effort on and off the field is one of the few things you could never question about Brown, guy was as dedicated to being a great receiver as any to ever play. It's just a shame he was so poor in most other aspects of his life.
