The Pittsbugher Thread: 5-4 And Ice Follies in the Netherworld

[LOGiK]

Tessitore and Booger are terrible. Tessitore thinks the show is about his narration. Booger just says stupid **** all night

I agree. It is truly painful to listen to MNF. Nothing personal at all. It is just a straight up clown show.

 

[LOGiK]

Between the excellent Coyotes/Capitals game going to a shootout. Unfortunately I missed out on the MNF until the 3rd quarter because of the Capitals game, but the 2nd half and overtime have been incredibly entertaining. What a surprisingly great night for sports games.

 

[LOGiK]

This game is going to be a tie. I can't see SF pushing the play here and possibly giving up a turnover to blow the game.

 

[LOGiK]

Exactly like THAT kind of risk that they shouldn't be attempting!

 

[LOGiK]

Oh there is TWO minutes left! I thought there was only 1. Yeah they have to keep playing for it. Now they are in trouble with 3rd down with 1:42 left.

 

[LOGiK]

Jimmy underthrew that by 2-3 yards or that was a touchdown.

 

[DanielPlainview]

Hell of a play by the CB

 

[LOGiK]

This is how football SHOULD be played. No f***ing endless commercials and constant play stoppages. This is pure awesome.

 

[DanielPlainview]

Wussell Wilson will win

 

[LOGiK]

WOW San Fran just blew the game there!

 

[DanielPlainview]

It's amazing that no one has a permanent spy on Wilson late in games. Every. Time.

 

[LOGiK]

I despise that style of last second time-out icing the kicker.

 

[LOGiK]

What a game. Wow. Excellent stuff.

 

[DanielPlainview]

Wussell Wilson won

The takes on Rudolph are great (all over, not just referring to a few here). Cant wait til he eventually proves people wrong like Fitz did.

Not sure how some cant see the signs. Hes no Landry. No Dobbs. No Dixon. And the QBs we had before Ben. Too young to watch Bradshaw other than highlights but obviously Ben was the best we've had since. And alot of Steelers fans saw that right away. Even tho he didnt get the credit around the league. He always came thru when needed. But he did have an experienced Ward(not sure who made the comment that Ben made Ward....Hines was lighting it up well before Ben..was drafted like 6 years before that). He had Bettis running guys over and Parker with his elite speed. Burress year 1. ARE as well.

• Ben helped AB, Sanders, Wallace, etc eventually. ..but want a perfect exanple of him not having an experienced WR corps? And what Mason is dealing with this season? The SB loss to the Packers. We lost cuz Brown and Sanders were rookies, couldn't get open and did nothing. We traded Holmes that summer. Horrible decision. So look no further than that game. We win that with an experienced WR group. It was a banged up Packers secondary in 2nd half too

 

[JimmyTwoTimes]

Pittsburgh just moved another draft pick further down screwing Miami more. If the draft were today the pick for Fitzpatrick would be number 22.

Tankathon | 2020 NFL Draft Order

6 other teams offered a 1st rounder but they chose us cuz Ben got hurt

He runs when he has to. Knew that was coming on that 3rd and 3

There is zero legit reasons to put this on the QB... I don’t get why people are still blaming MR. He carried out his fake, turned around and had the best DL of this generation right in his grill.

Was he supposed develop super powers and throw him off?

If he throws the ball away, which he would need those super powers to even have pulled it off without fumbling, it’s IG and still a safety or gets picked off.

9:49 of the video


I count 3.5 secs from snap to sack

9:51 he has MacDonald (or Vannett) crossing and he can easily throw it into his feet OR he can side arm it into Samuels ass, as he hasn't turned around

If this is anywhere BUT the EZ, then yes I can acknowledge Rudolph has to eat this one

But again, this is the 2nd safety in a row. He's responsible for getting the football out so he doesn't give up points. There's no other way to slice it.

Was this an ideal situation he was put in? Nope, but to put it into hockey terms this is like getting a pass in your skates...you sometimes have to make the best of things quickly.
Rudolph didn't for the 2nd week in a row

 

[DanielPlainview]

The expectation of perfection is a logical fallacy. Realistically, Rudolph had less than 2 seconds to make a throw once he turned his head around and began scanning the field. He was doomed by the playcall, and had no chance to do much of anything.

 

[DanielPlainview]

Pretty clear improvement is pass distribution. Hopefully this continues.

I can only assume you never played QB in a real game before after reading this “breakdown”.

He had to carry out his fake, which put his back to the field, when he turned around to set his feet and make his reads, he had slightly around one second, which was just about enough time to make the smartest play he could and protect the ball.

The ball was snapped at 12:46... at 12:44 he had Donald in his face.

So in your estimation, he was suppose to carry out a long fake with his back to the play, turn around and see his reads, get the ball off... all within just about 2.5 s from the snap?

Maybe if it said Christ on the back of his jersey, sure.

Crosby can play quarterback?

After seeing him try batting practice a few years ago and hit a ball into the river maybe I shouldn't question it.

And what that doesn't show is how many of those DOWNFIELD white dots were drops because I counted at least 5 clean drops by balls that should have been caught on easy to moderate level of difficulty.

Rudolph looked pretty good and accurate. Those drops were unacceptable. All of them were perfectly placed easy catches.

I didn't say the throw was going to be a good one, nor do I expect him to fully plant his feet to release the ball, but it HAS to come out. If they rule IG then whatever...you roll with it.

I think we'll just disagree on this and leave it at that
