Well that's just the quality hot takes you can expect for free.
That’s some holy vision there Kev.
**** off. This game is on Ben and the coaches.
Conner had almost 100 yards on what, 16 touches? They've ignored him 2 straight weeks after he dominates much of the previous 2 months and we were throttling teams. He dominated in Baltimore.
Yeah he's got to sure up the ball security but today is on Ben, Grimble fumbling at the ****ing goal line and more pathetic play calling.
Pats lost 3 games...we lost 3 games. Pats lost to the lions. And Titans.
If youre gonna crown a team..pick another.
We had to replace Bell...Conner was doing great..hasnt been the same since concussion. Theres a reason they arent using him much...so many short passes instead of running him. Thats what im worried about. Hes still young. Dropped a pass last week..and now this fumble that cost us the game.
We really have to focus on the run the next few games to get him back in it..mentally
It amazes me how many times they handed them the game. That last pass was going to be intercepted even if it made it past the line. What the Hell was he thinking throwing that....
Can anyone see the Steelers defense making a game-saving turnover like that?
Reason why I don't have them making it far in the postseason. this team lacks play makers on defense. It's what makes Shazier getting hurt much worse. He was becoming that guy.
You've got to be able to create turnovers.
It also doesn't help when the DBs give the other team's receiver so much cushion.
Hell, the D-line hardly ever tips any passes. And when they do, nobody is around to grab the INT.
Our d-line actually did tip one today. About 50 feet into the air. Amazingly, yet not surprisingly, we didn't come down with it.
We have to be near the bottom in takeaways. In a league that deemphasizes (is that a word?) defense, that's one thing you have to be able to do.
Thats why I wanted to trade for that playmaker type at the deadline . but they were happy with SSensabugh..who would be on his couch every sunday if not for the Steelers. Hes our weak link and its hurting others.
Janoris Jenkins(4 INTs) this year could have exceled in our D. Making plays and others better as well.
Our D is good at stopping teams but yeah bad at creating turnovers. Howver, why I dont blame them as much because our Offense is the one constantly blowing games. No reason we should turn the ball over 3- 4 times a game.
When we dont? 52-21 Panthers game. Our D is good enough to take us all the way ONLY if our offense doesnt continue to make mistakes.
And having Ben throw 40 times a game..he will turn the ball over. Hes Farve..will make great plays but will also throw INTs. Ever since Conner had that concussion..weve been using him like Kamara. Hes not that. He needs his 20+ carries.
He had 10 TDs in 9 games. Unstoppbable once inside the 5 yard ljne. Yet the last two games(since Conner getting concussed) we were in shotgun down there. Cant worry about him getting hurt..or this will happen. Dropped a TD last week. Fumbled today.
Get him his carries and he will be fine.
I’m not sure he’s fine.
Hope so, but did not see anything today that make me think he’s back from the concussion.
There were at least two tipped passes at the line. The first bounced way up in the air, and no one came down with it. The second just kind of fluttered into open space. Sanders fumbled his catch down the sidelines out of bounds near the goal line. Grimble fumbles through the end zone. Just that kind of day as far as bounces go, although the Steelers could have easily had a fifth turnover on Switzer's punt adventure. Three RZ turnovers, plus blocked field goal and Ben's first Int were all killers. And yeah, the last series from the 3 was a head scratcher, and the execution on the last play was extremely frustrating.
They needed this win with the schedule they have coming up.
Needed it for what? A bye week? Then Ben would come out and throw a few INTs lol.
Id rather play WC week...be the underdogs and win. Thats how it happened in the past. We just arent good after byes.
The fact that everyone is down now...thinking we dont have a shot...has me more confident in a playoff run. Everytime we thought we were the best team...we lose. When we had our struggles...we won.
Lets see if they fix the areas that need to be fixed tho..thats my concern. Our offense is capable of putting up over 30 every game...but youre not gonna wih turning the ball over 3-4 times.
Playcalling was horrible to end the game. You line up with Nix in there and an extra TE...and run the ball. Get back to being both a finesse team when needed...and a smashmouth team when needed. We went away from that the last two games. Almost cost us last week..and cost us tonight.
Yep. I’m sure people will roast Tomlin, but the players, in particular - the offense, lost that game. Literally had a chance to score on probably 95% of their drives and settled for one offensive TD (Big Al’s catch doesn’t count). Bad game.So many individual mistakes at the worst moments. Grimble, Ben, Conner....
ugh..
