OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: They Killed Kenny!

[Rossi Rat]

Nobody gives a Rossi Rat's a$$ about LFC, it's not the flex you think it is....

There’s always that one guy who is an absolute ignaramous to how big of a deal the REAL football is to the entire world. Typical.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

The points werent there but the offense was like 100x better. They used the middle of the field, the rbs ran hard, kp made some good-great throws past the sticks and 10+ yards.

LMAO PATRIOTS

Missed a 35 yard field goal to lose the game.

Well the rest of the world would still be playing grab ass for fun if not for the USA. Football is for men you like to play grab ass but are afraid to admit it.

Liverpool is like the 4th most popular team in the 3rd most popular football league in Europe.

Let's see them do it against a quality opponent first before congratulating them. If Burrow plays, they would have been trailing and everything changes.

Before we get into Pickett and Canada and what not, lets take a moment to appreciate how that was Harris' best running game in a year and a half. Big big game.

Hey a-hole, I don't live in those parts of the world, just like they don't care about US football

Running game looks 100x better when the defense can’t just stack 10.5 players in the box all game long. A not so hidden benefit to throwing more than 1 deep pass every 5 games.

The problem is unless you count New England who defense is ranked 16th they don’t play a good defense until bmore.
30th 25th 16th 24th 23 then Bmore who is 2nd

 

[Empoleon8771]

There is something quite wrong with you. [if you don’t already know]

Rossi Rat is a novelty account that is too entertaining to put on ignore for me

Hey with how bad this offense has been the last 3 years, i’ll take a 400 yard, no 3 and out game. Should have had an extra td, maybe 2.

This is true, the competition won't be a great test, but let's be honest, regardless of ranking/standings, the only thing that will ever matter is if this offense is capable of scoring in the playoffs.

Only thing I'd argue we could evaluate the rest of the season for the purposes of the future is the eye test.

I think for the most part they passed the eye test today, of course not against a good opponent.

If they continue to do that I'll be satisfied for a season I fully expect won't last past wild card weekend if they even make the playoffs.

But if they put up any more games that look as hopeless as most games under Canada were, then I'll be worried again, until they announce whoever the offensive coordinator is next year.

And the Jags barely hang on, Houston to 5 losses is good for the Steelers.

Let kenny feast!

 

[ChaosAgent]

Much better by all involved offensively. Pickett, Najee and the OL

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

Not exactly impressed with this since Tomlin turned him into Mr. Safe, but glad he broke the record actually throwing the rock around.

 

[bigdaddyk88]

Not worried about Houston because they play Denver and Cleveland still. Cleveland still has jacksonville and Denver they will separate themselves by beating each other
I still think the ravens steelers week 18 game will be for the division

 

[Shaftception]

Add a 100 yd game to Friermuth to the context of that chart, regardless of competition thats a good sign going forward.

Hopefully if he can stay healthy the rest of the year, successfully connecting over the middle consistently should do wonders to opening more space for the running game and outside receivers.

If Pickett can get his inconsistent accuracy someday under control, there's at least some promise with this offense for the future.

As everyone predicted lol

 

[Snooki Stackhouse]

They got some yards and counting the TD that wasn't, they could have had 23 points and 2 TDs. It's a start, definitely an improvement, but I'm not planning the parade. We'll see where they go from here but they had the better QB today that's for sure.

 

[DanielPlainview]

KP has potential and Matt Canada will never work in football again

 

[Peat]

So that's not a game where we start tugging each other off (if there's ever any one game where you do) but I think we all saw the difference.

And Pickett walked out of it with the following stat line

Passing	COMP	ATT	PCT	YDS	TD	INT	QBR
Kenny Pickett	24	33	72.727	278	0	0	106.83

Which is good. Yeah, no TDs ain't great, and pretty weird with that statline, but it's good.

Question is whether he can do it again next week. Yeah, he's not playing a good defence for a while, but if he wants to look good against soft opponents that's a win.

And there's a bunch of other guys who need to be better too.

 

[ChaosAgent]

It's also comforting that the plays themselves aren't unworkable, it is the decisions on which to call and the sequencing that was unworkable.

The OL also continues to get better. Daniels and Jones is a great right side.

 

[Smoke]

I was starting to think the TE's on this team were illusions, today I found out they are actually real beings. There is no reason Muth or Washington shouldn't get the majority of targets.
