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

[Honour Over Glory]

We did not deserve that win but I'll take it.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

They dont ask how just how many lol

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.

They get the 3 at the end of the half, then playing for 3 late makes it a 9 point game.

The forcing passes to TikTok and DJ pissed me off to no end. People can say 'well they don't pout like AB does', but Ben still forced balls as if they did.

EDIT: Don't get Fichtner's adjustment to the Titans trying to take Claypool out with Butler and help over the top being to shrug his shoulders instead of adjusting routes or bringing Claypool in motion to open space up.

Welp. Glad we won, but holy schnikes, this was NOT well-deserved.
I think play-calling on both sides of the ball gave TE chances to get back in, and they took’em, to their credit.
I don’t think Butler or Tomlin surprised any of us, sadly.

I’m most concerned that vs the first solid team/good coach, that made adjustments, Ben made multiple idiot plays (some he got away with) but several he didn’t. He got bailed out, and we won this Backing in, w our arse hanging out.
They don’t get away with this v BAL.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Pulled the ole Vanderwank.

 

[KIRK]

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.

After the false start, it was a 55 yard attempt.

They should've run a 10 yard out since the Titans were in prevent.

The great irony is Claypool actually was 1 on 1 . . . so Ben threw to the double covered midget.

Like the double entendre . . .

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.

Game plan is only brilliant when you aren’t sitting on the sidelines on the last play praying for the kicker to miss... after having a 17 point halftime lead.

Having half a good game plan doesn’t impress me.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

GostLOLski is gonna have a rough week thinking about how he f***ed that kick up.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

6-0 is 6-0 no matter how your 6-0 as long as your 6-0 all that matters is your 6-0.

 

[Hullois]

We were lucky at the end but let's not forget that they got lucky all game long and got all the calls from the refs so it's not like we didn't deserve to win it.

But man.... ma hart

 

[SouthGeorge]

6-0 is 6-0 no matter how your 6-0 as long as your 6-0 all that matters is your 6-0.

10-4 equals 6

 

[Pengwins]

Lol at saying the Steelers didn’t deserve the win.
Tennessee caught multiple deflected passes and benefited from horrible officiating.
yes our coaching sucks but our players were better than Tennessee’s today

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

10-4 equals 6

3 ASS=1 GOAL?

 

[OnMyOwn]

Tomlin said he didn't have an update on any health and said "I'm sure there's some bumps and bruises". So I'm guessing DJ isn't serious

The refusal to anticipate adjustments is mind boggling.

Predictable, of course, but still mind boggling nonetheless.

Butler screwed the pooch going prevent, but truth is on the AJ Brown TD Williams is there if he lifts his hands. And, it's not like you could assume you'll shut down Henry forever. So, no sure how much before he went prevent is coaching and how much is going from getting the breaks to not getting them.

As for Fichtner, hard to know if Claypool and Washington were open. I mean, they adjusted nothing, but if Ben is throwing to DJ and TikTok in double and triple coverage, then that means everyone else is singled. Are they not open anyway? In that case, Fichtner needs to adjust. Or was Ben getting tunnel vision? In that case, it's on Ben.

We deserved to win. Anyone saying we didn’t is just pissed we didn’t win 40-10. The second half absolutely sucked, but our first half was amazing.

10-4 equals 6

0+1+1+1+1+1+1 also equals 6.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Manage the ball, manage the sticks and manage the clock. Ben was too greedy.

Defense carried the entire day.

 

[KIRK]

Colbert needs to go MLB shopping.

Would really love if he found one who was good in coverage, but pretty sure that's not an option in his tax bracket.

 

[Hullois]

Loll

 

[Ugene Magic]

0+1+1+1+1+1+1 also equals 6.

Hm... That constitutes an orgy.

Ben was too greedy.

Not sure the defense carried the day though as much as they survived because time ran out.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Loll

Your best Homer Simpson moment right there.

 

[OnMyOwn]

I think the defense did pretty well given how good the Titans are on offense. Our offense was just a huge letdown in the second. Even a few field goals would have been nice.
