Game Thread: WEEK 5 - vsBAL

[Yo Tee]

The boos are out in force. Good.

Hell yeah. However, the only real way that it's "good" is if something is done about it. Where were the changes made that Tomlin talked about? Because I don't see a damn thing that's changed.

 

[Superbelt]

Because nothing changed. They wore pads for a practice, that's it.

 

[thedddd]

You would think after all these matchups the Steelers would have figured out how to cover Mark Andrews.

 

[thedddd]

Their 3rd down and long pass protection is not there.

 

[redskinsfan1963]

i think at this point the steelers could blow out washington.

 

[thedddd]

Novel concept. Jones and JP Jr are playing well.

 

[Yo Tee]

Ok, that was a good throw.

 

[Superbelt]

ST and Defense won this game.

 

[thedddd]

ST (minus Olshitsski) and Defense won this game.

FIFY

Honestly which game this season has the offense won it for them? Their Defense won all three, yeah the offense scored two TD's against the Raiders but the Defense did most of the work.

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

This division doesn't make any sense...

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Anyone else notice that the Steelers' only TD on the day came from a play where KP audibled out of whatever nonsense Canada called?

I'm sure you've all seen the Matt Canada reaction to the TD video by now... But if not, here you go

Offense...

Jaylen Warren is a certified stud. Give him the ball more.
Pickett played his best ball in the 4th quarter. Status quo of this offense.
Broderick Jones looks like he has it figured out. Hopefully he cements into the starting role.

Defense...

Good 2nd half. 1st half was tough to watch.
Highsmith played like a man possessed... 11 pressures is insane. Strip sack was huge.
Peterson & Wallace are tough to watch. JPJ got a 40% snap share which is nice. Need that to be higher. Desmon King only got 1 snap lol. Why the hell did they acquire him to just put him on kick return duties?
Keanu Neal can't cover TEs. But at least he can tackle.
Minkah still having a bad year. But they are still moving him all over the field. That needs to stop.

ST...

Please stop with the Gunner experiment. It's embarrassing.

 

[Yo Tee]

Honestly, give Pickett the playcalling for a game. Get it out of Canada's hands. Let's see how the offense does without Canada's hands in the cookie jar. Now, Pickett still needs to make those throws, however, the GW TD was an audibled plan from Pickett. Why the fuck not give him the reigns for a game. What could go wrong that hasn't gone wrong already?

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

 

[thedddd]

Same with JP Jr

After watching the postgame presser & reading some former player's analysis its clear this wasn't the case about Canada being mad about the audible.

The 'audible' was just a slide protection audible to adjust the blocking.

So either Canada was upset they scored early & gave the ball back, or he was merely numb AF after listening to the fans chant Fuck M-C for an entire half of football...

Just switch to AT&T, the cell coverage from the booth to his headset won't work.

LOL...if he is upset about scoring too early shame on him as it is a miracle the scored in the first place.

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

So a built in check. Meaning Canada's original call incorporates this audible if KP sees cover 0.
