OT: FOOTBALL! Steelers, THE Ohio State Buckeyes, PSU, PItt, RMU, Cal-U, CCAC....

[Smoke]

Not sure why you take a shot at the end zone there. Pretty stupid of the Titans.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Ben going for TD's instead of the sticks twice almost cost them.

 

[Andy99]

All I can say is this Ben and this playcalling and coaching (no adjustments) ain’t gonna fly against the Ravens

 

[ImporterExporter]

We got a W. Great.

We looked like absolute shit in the 2nd half. I'm not impressed like I was at halftime.

I think next week we get smoked so the W today is huge.

 

[SouthGeorge]

Titans got lucky and refs made some horrible calls against us.. f them!

6-0

 

[JTG]

Peoples-Jones just caught a beautiful ball. I liked him in the draft.

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

lame way to win this game...we don’t deserve to pull it out of our asses

Relax boss. Tomlin will learn from this.

 

[mynameisnick4]

Wow that throw and catch by Cleveland

 

[KIRK]

Holy f were lucky

There is no way to understate how lucky.

That said . . .

1. Fichtner needs to learn how to adjust, and for the love of god Ben sure as shit needs to learn to stop forcing balls to TikTok and DJ. If it's there, fine . . . take it. But, it's on Ben for forcing it when it wasn't and on Fichtner for not adjusting. Claypool and Washington forgotten men today. Fine for the first half, because they Titans were taking the deep ball away, but mix it up when the Titans adjust.

2. Butler is going to make an alcoholic of me. Same issue as Fichtner. You have a brilliant game plan. It works for a half. How in the **** can you assume they won't adjust and then assume what you're doing will work again eventually if you just keep trying it.

lol

 

[SomeDude]

At least we barely squeaked one out against a team like the Titans. Cleveland is probably going to barely get by the Bungals.

 

[KIRK]

Credit where it's due: The game plan was brilliant

Criticism where it's due: Smart opposing coaches adjust, and it actually helps to prepare for it.

 

[RustyRazor]

Joe Burrow looks like Jim Breuer

 

[Shrimper]

Given how shit my soccer team is, I'm enjoying seeing a team of mine do well.

 

[KIRK]

Relax boss. Tomlin will learn from this.

 

[wheelz87]

Now we need to hear about how amazing baker is for beating Cincy

 

[OnMyOwn]

Hopefully DJ is alright. Glad he walked it off.

Johnson with 15 targets today, ben needs to check his number, 84 ain't here no more.

Game was entirely on his bad mistakes, gave up potential 6 points with 2 into forced into the endzone.

Needs to fix that before anything else going into next week, ravens are more opportunistic than the titans in the secondary.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

6-0 is 6-0

I have no idea what Roth was doing on a bunch of plays.

How they didn’t get the 3 at the end of the half and the last drive is mind numbing.

It’s the kind of horrific situational football we have come to expect from this team under Tomlin.

 

[OnMyOwn]

I think it was just an off game by Ben. The batted balls didn’t help. We’ll be fine. Even if we lose next week, I don’t think we’ll get smoked.

still need an ILB.

At least we barely squeaked one out against a team like the Titans. Cleveland is probably going to barely get by the Bungals.

Look, the class of the AFC early this year has been seen to be KC, Baltimore, and Tennessee.

The Steelers had moved onto the next notch with Buffalo.

Class Half Empty: It was as ugly a win as it gets with that 2nd half.

Class Half Full (in @ColePens honor): The Steelers got the W against a top tier team.

I still think Baltimore is a notch above based on how they match up against the Steelers (Steelers don't match up against the Ravens like the Chiefs and Titans do), but this is a legit top wild card team, and next week we learn if they're anything more than that.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Wow that throw and catch by Cleveland

Holmes esk...

 

[Smoke]

I would have lined up for a field goal with 14 seconds left in the second half. Don't even try and run a play and go for the points. Instead, we got a stupid false start and an idiotic idea to throw a hail mary.

 

[Al Smith]

Take that win, despite almost giving it back to the Titans. It's history now. Hopefully Ben will learn from the mistakes today (he's still learning with this group of skill players), cause we know opposing coaches will almost always out-adjust our staff. On to the Ravens.
