Steelers v. Texans

[WindyCitySteel]

Texans with some key starters out, including LT. This is a game you just have to win, even if Stroud pantses the pass D a little. Put him under pressure early and often.

Daniels out, Herbig in.

I dreamed:

Steelers 59

Texans 25

[feltdizz]

Green said he is happy to be gone from the Steelers.

lmao.. if he only knew.

Stroud is already a better QB than KP but he shouldnt have a good game. I see him running for his life most of the game.

[Steel Maniac]

That’s what I see. Our defense should dictate this game entirely.

Steelers 27
Texans 6

Vegas doesnt agree with us but I see this one being ugly. 24-13 but looked worse than the score.

[BURGH86STEEL]

The Steelers loss to the expansion Texans in 2002. The Steelers dominated in almost every facet of the game outside of turnovers. The Steelers had no business losing that game. The Steelers loss 24-6. This was one game that taught me a lot of lessons about football.

The Steelers are on the road. The Steelers have key players out. The Steelers offense lacks consistency.

I expect a close game.

[Chucktownsteeler]

Stroud is already a better QB than KP but he shouldnt have a good game. I see him running for his life most of the game.

He’s played good for 3 games. Let’s tap the brakes.

[Iron City Inc.]

Both of these young qb's I believe will be fine NFL starters but it's so early to evaluate them almost not fair by us to do that.
KP needs to have the coaches take the training wheels off and allow him to change plays at the los. Too our offensive concepts are lacking. We are a bit predictable a bit simple in our concepts. We used more jet motion in the pre-season we need to get that back in the game plan to pressure the D to adjust quickly.

KP needs to execute the "basic" offensive concepts consistently better before the wheels can be taken off.

[fordfixer]

Steelers 2 that Texas team 0

[Steel Maniac]

We beat bad teams; raiders were trash and we took the trash out ! Texans are trash and we should do the same to them. Biggest thing we can get from this game is getting the run game going and KP getting some sustained rhythm in the passing game.

[Captain Lemming]

Rushing yards, right?

Total yards

[NorthCoast]

I don't have a good feeling about this one. Typical trap game after the Steelers get puffed up with an away win against the Raiders. Texans wanting to prove they belong this season. If the Steelers come out flat and get points piled on they might struggle to come back in this game. Texans secondary isn't shabby like the Raiders. Steelers are also favorites. Tomlin's record is better as a dog.

Members are taking my comment as a serious scouting breakdown lol. First, I?m not a Stroud fan. Second, I?m not a KP fan. I dont think either have that IT personally. But if we are doing a more than an inflammatory comparison certainly Stroud has started his career better than KP. And that amounts to about nothing. But I do agree. Both should be ok. I think both will be decent starting NFL QBs.

what’s funny is Buckeye fans seem to not like Stroud that much. Maybe its because he didn’t run or they felt he had the talent around him for a BCS title and underperformed..

but IMO he may end up being the first Buckeye QB to have a good NFL career.

Fields still looks like he doesn’t belong and may be replaced next year. Which is wild because after that Clemson game I thought he was going to be one to do it.

Are we even good enough to have trap games? ;)

This is the one thing about Kenny and company that gives me hope. We have yet to lose to a team we were supposed to beat.

Most Buckeye fans are not that high on Stroud because he just wasnt that good. It’s that simple. I wont lie he has looked pretty good out of the gates and I’ll be the first to say I was wrong about the dude if he blows up. But Stroud had some amazing games as a Buckeye but he had some deer in headlight games and he is 0-2 against Michigan and seems to shrink when it matters most. He is the kind of QB who will get a team to the playoffs, make fans think they finally found a QB then **** the bed in the playoffs. He has all the physical tools but i do not believe he has ice in his veins. I think he shrinks when it matters most. Maybe some work with a good sports psychologist would be productive.

but didn’t you guys win like 10 straight vs Michigan?

When I watched those games I saw an OSU DL that was manhandled in those second halves. Also, no run game lately with Day.

Love how fans can throw whole careers away based on games vs their rival.

Peyton Manning couldn’t beat Florida.

Stroud lost the big games. That was the problem. It wasnt just Michigan and no it wasnt all Strouds fault. But there are QBs who overcome adversity and make it their bitch and others with excuses. Stroud is the latter.

I am no fan of his either, but maybe he proves me wrong. He did shrink in big games and it seemed like he quit against Georgia when Harrison, jr. went out.

[feltdizz]

Quit or had a harder time without his best WR?

Whew.. Herbstreit was right when he said some of the fan base is ridiculous, lol.

You guys are tough.. lol.

and its because you said he QUIT. He didnt have pick 6’s. Fumbled snaps or brain farts. Dude was facing the toughest defense in football and put up 38 points and drove them into FG range. If the FG kicker makes that, Stroud is a GOD in Columbus with those stats. I get being upset or even saying he never beat good teams but again, this was a game where ST’s and the defense clearly failed with that wide open TD given up in the 4th with a double digit lead.

fans can be so cruel :p

Barrett, Haskins, Fields all came up huge vs. Michigan, Stroud did not. He impressed me vs. Georgia without his weapons, though, and I'm glad he's doing well so far in limited action.

[WindyCitySteel]

it seemed like he quit against Georgia when Harrison, jr. went out.

Are you serious? He balled out after he was gone. I don't think you know what you're watching.

[Chucktownsteeler]

He quit at the end. He played well for 3.5 quarters.

Dont even bring up Michigan.

[WindyCitySteel]

Why does our D always seem to let down when they have an injury advantage? Getting shredding on the opening drive.

[Northern_Blitz]

My guess is that this game, we'll say "I wish Pickett could do that" a fair number of times.

[Terrapin]

Houston missing 6 linemen. No problem. March right down the field on our defense

[The Man of Steel]

Defense looks slow.

[Northern_Blitz]

Why does our D always seem to let down when they have an injury advantage? Getting shredding on the opening drive.

This. We don't have the kind of offense that's good at playing when we're down.

Early scores like this are bad for us.

[WindyCitySteel]

Way to have your team ready, coach T.

[Northern_Blitz]

I think long reviews like this usually mean that they're figuring out where to spot it.

I think he broke the plane. But Maybe they'll make them line up at the 1.

[Terrapin]

Embarrassing effort by Tomlin's defense

[crushedspirit]

Where was the angle shot to call it short?

[WindyCitySteel]

Texans beating themselves here.

[Northern_Blitz]

How many screens? They know we're coming for the QB.

Can't seem to make a tackle in the middle of the defense.

Lucky they aren't executing well in the red zone here.

[kindlecatsb'ng]

Come on, D!

[Northern_Blitz]

Texans beating themselves here.

Worked for the Browns!

[Terrapin]

Pierce sitting on my bench too. I shoulda known. He hasn't done a thing a year. Naturally he'd have a career day against our 'elite' defense

[Northern_Blitz]

That's not a catchable ball.

[WindyCitySteel]

Minkah is a marked man. Terrible call.

[Northern_Blitz]

Well...let's see if the offense can respond.

Let's go Kenny!

[Eich]

Awful. Pretty much went through us like a hot knife through butter.

[crushedspirit]

Wallace being Wallace

[WindyCitySteel]

How many screens? They know we're coming for the QB.


That's what scheming for an opponent looks like.

[Eich]

Minkah is a marked man. Terrible call.
Awful call. But the defense on the whole drive was more awful.

they better figure out how to deal with their screen game. And run game.

we looked unprepared

[Eich]

That's what scheming for an opponent looks like.
This

now let’s see what magic Canada brings.

[Chucktownsteeler]

Total BS call on Minkah. But how does a team down 6 lineman March down your throats?

[WindyCitySteel]

And King puts us in a hole with a bad decision.

[WindyCitySteel]

How does Pickett's helmet get ripped off with no flag?

[Northern_Blitz]

They ripped his ****ing helmet off. How is that not a penalty?

[WindyCitySteel]

Najee's got to be able to run through DBs.

[Terrapin]

Guess no penalty for ripping a guys helmet off

[Chucktownsteeler]

I’m ready to see Warren.

[skyhawk]

Still the worst offense in the league.

[WindyCitySteel]

Houston knows what we're going every play.

[WindyCitySteel]

Blowout alert. TD here by Houston and this will go sideways fast.

[Eich]

What a mess

[crushedspirit]

This knucklehead OC is calling the same gameplan from last week LOL

[SteelBucks]

Terrible underthrow

[crushedspirit]

That was the same shallow cross deep shot to Austin from last week

[kindlecatsb'ng]

They ripped his ****ing helmet off. How is that not a penalty?

Officials ignoring these like they did with Ben all those years.

[crushedspirit]

And Pickett's throw was brutally short

[WindyCitySteel]

Let's not put Austin up with Reek just yet, Reek would have gone up and helped his QB there.

[Chucktownsteeler]

This is ugly and uncalled for. Plus the refs suck.

Will Jones or Porter ever get to play? Another penalty on Okorafor.

[Northern_Blitz]

That was the same shallow cross deep shot to Austin from last week

And maybe it's a TD if we could have gotten it a bit further in front of him.

[Joel Buchsbaum]

Pickett throws nicely into double coverage.

[WindyCitySteel]

This knucklehead OC is calling the same gameplan from last week LOL

We're at a coaching disadvantage in probably 80-90% of our games.

[Terrapin]

We're just a horribly coached football team.

[Northern_Blitz]

Let's not put Austin up with Reek just yet, Reek would have gone up and helped his QB there.

I think this is the thing with Austin.

Small and not super strong. Need to get it to him in the right spot because he's probably not going to win jump balls and doesn't have a big catch radius.

Still can't seem to tackle in the middle of the defense.

[The Man of Steel]

I thought that the Texans had a garbage OL and couldn’t run the football?

[Starlifter]

I’m stuck with the radio broadcast. Thank god. Sounds like garbage to watch so far…..

[Northern_Blitz]

I thought that the Texans had a garbage OL and couldn’t run the football?

Counter point...our run defense sucks.

[Terrapin]

Through 3 games Pierce has had 38, 31, and 31 yards rushing.
Halfway through the 1st quarter today, 35 yards.

Bitch about the offense all you want. It's warranted. But this is an embarrassing effort from our defense

[Chucktownsteeler]

The holding is outrageous

[feltdizz]

Let's not put Austin up with Reek just yet, Reek would have gone up and helped his QB there.

yeah, was that thrown short or is austin short?

[Northern_Blitz]

yeah, was that thrown short or is austin short?

Both.

Thrown short.

And I think Austin gives little margin for error because of his size.

[Chucktownsteeler]

I’m starting to sour on KP8.

[Terrapin]

Both.

Thrown short.

And I think Austin gives little margin for error because of his size.

Was a little underthrown, but not by much

[Joel Buchsbaum]

We're at a coaching disadvantage in probably 80-90% of our games.more like 95%

[kindlecatsb'ng]

I?m stuck with the radio broadcast. Thank god. Sounds like garbage to watch so far?..

I am listening to the game as well. They'll settle down.

[Northern_Blitz]

Was a little underthrown, but not by much

And I think that would be OK with Pickens because he's going to fight for and win so many of those kind of balls (or at least not get intercepted).

But Austin is pretty small. I don't think he's going to have many contested catches.

[Starlifter]

I think it’s possible after constantly practicing against the Steelers offense - our defense thinks 3rd downs are generally hard to convert…..

[WindyCitySteel]

Was a little underthrown, but not by much

Any other QB makes that throw and his receiver fights for it, the "he put it in a place for his receiver to make a play".

[Northern_Blitz]

Need some points on this drive.

[Joel Buchsbaum]

Fellas I think we need to draft a QB

[Northern_Blitz]

Any other QB makes that throw and his receiver fights for it, the "he put it in a place for his receiver to make a play".

Ya...Pickens at minimum prevents the pick. Robinson too probably.

[SteelBucks]

I’m starting to sour on KP8.

Welcome to the group.

[Terrapin]

Jones in. Thank f'n God

[kindlecatsb'ng]

Broderick Jones coming in at left tackle per radio

[WindyCitySteel]

Texans all over every receiver. They know exactly what's coming pre-snap.

[Northern_Blitz]

Lucky that one went out of bounds.

[Starlifter]

Jones in. Thank f'n God

Rookie LT. fingers crossed….

[WindyCitySteel]

JFC this team sucks.

[Northern_Blitz]

God...how many times do we get guys running into eachother in the running game.

Running is supposed to be easy to at least get to the line.

[The Man of Steel]

3 and out seems like an appropriate way to end the first quarter.

[SteelBucks]

This offense stinks.

[WindyCitySteel]

Fellas I think we need to draft a QB

Oh STFU -- the OL is trash.

[Starlifter]

That was a whole lotta work for 2 yards…….

[Eich]

Don’t think we can blame playing an elite defense this week.

Offense is hot garbage to this point

[Chucktownsteeler]

It?s time to sit NAjee and KP8 may not be far behind.

[SteelCrazy]

It’s Canada. The OL can only do so much when the DC knows what he’s doing against a high school level OC play caller. It’s like they know what play is coming.

[Chucktownsteeler]

How long was that punt?

[SteelBucks]

Houston passing and running on us with ease

[WindyCitySteel]

It’s Canada. The OL can only do so much when the DC knows what he’s doing against a high school level OC play caller. It’s like they know what play is coming.

100% this.

[Starlifter]

It would be nice if our offense had one glaring weakness we could point to. Problem is, I think it’s all of the above. Our O-line is playing like crap. Our QB is just in year 2 and making mistakes, and our OC is outmatched every week. It’s a potent formula for failure.

[Northern_Blitz]

So...the game plan against us is "run every down on offense" and "just make sure you get at least 10 guys on the field on defense", right?

[Eich]

I don’t think Ben & Bettis in their prime makes THIS offense go.

[pfelix73]

It’s Canada. The OL can only do so much when the DC knows what he’s doing against a high school level OC play caller. It’s like they know what play is coming.


$$$Money$$$

[Northern_Blitz]

It’s Canada. The OL can only do so much when the DC knows what he’s doing against a high school level OC play caller. It’s like they know what play is coming.

It's everything.

I think we should change the OC. But I don't think that's magically going to turn us from a tire fire into something approaching average.

[blitz71burgh71]

Feels like week 1 all over again

[WindyCitySteel]

Texans' OC head and shoulders above Tomada.

[Joel Buchsbaum]

It?s time to sit NAjee and KP8 may not be far behind.

Ya think? Amen

[SteelBucks]

I don’t think Ben & Bettis in their prime makes THIS offense go.

Idk. Ben had some pretty terrible OLs during his career. They seemed to make it work.

[Eich]

Canada has to go. But it’s not like even a brilliant coordinator can install a real offense overnight.

[Chucktownsteeler]

Texans' OC head and shoulders above Tomada.

and he looks like he’s 12 years old.

[WindyCitySteel]

Idk. Ben had some pretty terrible OLs during his career. They seemed to make it work.

When backed by the #1 D with a legit OC.

[Eich]

Idk. Ben had some pretty terrible OLs during his career. They seemed to make it work.

he also had a coordinator who’s not Canada

[Chucktownsteeler]

Idk. Ben had some pretty terrible OLs during his career. They seemed to make it work.

Ben won a SB with a horrible OL but good coaching.

[WindyCitySteel]

Lol, this is comical. What an epically bad offense.

[Chucktownsteeler]

I almost feel bad for Tomlin, almost.

[WindyCitySteel]

I almost feel bad for Tomlin, almost.

**** him, this is the team he built.

[Chucktownsteeler]

Nice pass, only losses 5 yards.

[WindyCitySteel]

"He almost ran this route as if he knew exactly what was coming"

Announcer talking about the DB on the 3rd down PBU.

[Chucktownsteeler]

**** him, this is the team he built.

But I don’t think he knows it.

[SteelBucks]

3 and out.

Steelers on the brink of getting blown out.

[Eich]

Week 4 and the offense looks worse.

[skyhawk]

Ben won a SB with a horrible OL but good coaching.

Tomlin ? Ahahahahahhahaha.

[Starlifter]

You’d think with how many 3rd and longs the Steelers have, Canada would draw up a few more variations….

[Chucktownsteeler]

"He almost ran this route as if he knew exactly what was coming"

Announcer talking about the DB on the 3rd down PBU.

It’s just pathetic.

[The Man of Steel]

Kenny has negative passing yards yet he’ll likely start the second half.

[skyhawk]

I almost feel bad for Tomlin, almost.

Biggest fraud in the NFL for almost 10 years now.

[Chucktownsteeler]

Tomlin ? Ahahahahahhahaha.

No, Cowher and Co.

[Northern_Blitz]

Man...Stroud is good at finding and hitting the open man.

And we suck against those screens.

[WindyCitySteel]

Man...Stroud is good at finding and hitting the open man.

And we suck against those screens.

He's thrown some off-target balls that his receivers have made plays on, you'd kill Kenny on those.

[Northern_Blitz]

Kenny has negative passing yards yet he’ll likely start the second half.

IMO, the only reason to take him out if he's healthy is if we are just giving up on him.

[Jooser]

Lmao, so bad on both sides

[WindyCitySteel]

Not sure why this is getting pinned on Kenny. Who is open? What's working?

[Chucktownsteeler]

IMO, the only reason to take him out if he's healthy is if we are just giving up on him.

Well………

10ccs

[WindyCitySteel]

Watch the O when they ditch the script and go hurry up - it will magically start to work.

[Northern_Blitz]

Not a bad call either way.

I think I'd kick the FG because it's just so hard for us to score points.

But, they might already have enough points to win if they avoid our D scoring.

[WindyCitySteel]

Texans keeping us in this game.

[Northern_Blitz]

Watch the O when they ditch the script and go hurry up - it will magically start to work.

You generally need to have positive plays to go into the hurry up, do you?

I don't know how many teams run hurry up after incomplete passes or runs / passes for negative yards.

[Chucktownsteeler]

I am KP8 fan, but if he doesn’t show something by half, I bring in Mitch.

[Northern_Blitz]

Texans keeping us in this game.

Surprised they didn't run it. Seems like they are at least falling forward on most running plays.

[Joel Buchsbaum]

[QUOTE=WindyCitySteel;976924]Oh STFU -- the OL is trash.[/QUOTE


But the qb and rb are not??

[brothervad]

I think this why I want Canada replaced. Steelers can't 100% determine if KP is a bust.

I feel if they continue to dance with this duo it delays it.

Btw, just heard Sam Howell most pressured QB and he is doing well against Philly today

[Northern_Blitz]

25 yards in the first 25 minutes. That's pretty good for us! :(

[Chucktownsteeler]

I?m not sure they could beat the Broncos.

[WindyCitySteel]

"There's nowhere for Pickett to throw the ball"

[Northern_Blitz]

It's so tough here. Would like to be able to go for it...but just no confidence in this offense to get a yard.

[Terrapin]

There is nobody open. Ever

[SteelBucks]

I’m done with this offense. Coaching sucks, players suck

[Northern_Blitz]

"There's nowhere for Pickett to throw the ball"

The scheme certainly does suck.

[Chucktownsteeler]

These refs suck.

[T.Ferguson]

"There's nowhere for Pickett to throw the ball"

Every damn game. At least it's being called out now.

[Chucktownsteeler]

I’m done with this offense. Coaching sucks, players suck


I agree. Boykin evens sucked on that.

[T.Ferguson]

Steelers getting severely out coached in this game so far.

[SteelBucks]

Steelers getting severely out coached in this game so far.
And outplayed.

[WindyCitySteel]

Remember all the "Roberts won't get exploited in coverage because he'll come out on passing downs" dreck this offseason?

Good times.

[WindyCitySteel]

Steelers getting severely out coached in this game so far.

Rookie coaching staff, rookie QB making Tomlin look like a dunce.

[Northern_Blitz]

I think this why I want Canada replaced. Steelers can't 100% determine if KP is a bust.

I feel if they continue to dance with this duo it delays it.

Btw, just heard Sam Howell most pressured QB and he is doing well against Philly today

Strongly agree.

It's why I didn't want to bring Canada back this season.

Wasting another year of the rookie QB contract and a year where we lose the ability to evaluate KP.

I thought that we'd at lead move the ball like we did last season after KP relieved Mitch. But we can't even get 1st downs anymore.

[WindyCitySteel]

Porter is a hair shirt, start him on the outside.

[Chucktownsteeler]

At least we will get the ball to start the 3rd.

[Northern_Blitz]

At least we will get the ball to start the 3rd.

Maybe they'll just play prevent this drive and we can get at least 3?

Would be nice to take at least something positive into half time.

[Chucktownsteeler]

KP8 does nothing I start Mitch in the 3rd.

[WindyCitySteel]

First down, five curls inside of five yards.

[Chucktownsteeler]

I?m starting to wonder if KP8 is seeing the field. He just don?t look right.

[SteelBucks]

The body language on offense is terrible. Need a spark from someone

[WindyCitySteel]

I?m starting to wonder if KP8 is seeing the field. He just don?t look right.

Nobody.

Is.

Open.

Are you seeing the field?

[WindyCitySteel]

Pickett just needs to run scramble drill on every play to get people off of the routes the DBs are running for them. Need a chunk play.

[Chucktownsteeler]

Nobody.

Is.

Open.

Are you seeing the field?

I am, Pickett is not.

[Chucktownsteeler]

GD, Pickett can?t see.

[Northern_Blitz]

Surprised they let that play go. Was way off. Lucky KP didn't get killed.

[Starlifter]

Maybe because things have been so bad I’m looking at everything - but it seems like KP takes back breaking sacks for huge losses.

[WindyCitySteel]

Another BS call.

[Northern_Blitz]

Wow...horrible and had nothing to do with the play.

[Terrapin]

Nice call....

[T.Ferguson]

WTF was that penalty?? F off NFL.

[Chucktownsteeler]

These refs suck….

[skyhawk]

Total BS call. Unbelievable really.

[WindyCitySteel]

Jesus ****.

[SteelBucks]

OK, Canada sucks but 35 yards passing isn’t going to cut it. I’m making a change at multiple positions.

[Starlifter]

Tomlin will make no changes at the half.

[WindyCitySteel]

This team ****ing sucks.

[Northern_Blitz]

Maybe we'll block it for a DTD?

[Terrapin]

The defense has quit. Plain and simple

[Starlifter]

42 yards at the end of the half. YGTBSM.

[Chucktownsteeler]

OK, Canada sucks but 35 yards passing isn’t going to cut it. I’m making a change at multiple positions.

Yes, I agree. I’d sit KP8 now. He’s done in this game.

[skyhawk]

Blowout…….

[Eich]

We suck. Surprised we’re not down by more.

[Starlifter]

Hillgrove is using every word in the thesaurus to avoid using the word SUCKS…….

[WindyCitySteel]

Yes, I agree. I’d sit KP8 now. He’s done in this game.

This explains your take on Stroud. You don't know ball.

[Northern_Blitz]

42 yards at the end of the half. YGTBSM.

They had more yards on that drive that we have in the first half.

[WindyCitySteel]

Canada should be relieved of his duties at halftime.

[Chucktownsteeler]

OK, Canada sucks but 35 yards passing isn’t going to cut it. I’m making a change at multiple positions.

To start KP8, Najee, and PF would have a seat on the pine.

[T.Ferguson]

Defense has been alarmingly bad in this game, kinda reminds me of the Browns playoff game, just standing around, no emotion, bad execution, etc. Steelers actually lucky it's only 16-0 at halftime tbh, yeesh.

[Eich]

Yes, I agree. I’d sit KP8 now. He’s done in this game.

not sure that serves any purpose though. The offense is a complete fuster cluck.

[feltdizz]

how do you end the half like that?

[Chucktownsteeler]

This explains your take on Stroud. You don't know ball.

I said he may prove me wrong, I’ll man up when I’m wrong, unlike most here. But I will also factor in the inept offense of the Steelers and a defense that looks gassed and it quit.

Should we induct Stroud in the HOF at half?

[SteelBucks]

This explains your take on Stroud. You don't know ball.

LOL. Stroud has 180 yards passing and is running an effective offense. We know ball.

Im making a change but we know Tomlin won’t.

[Chucktownsteeler]

how do you end the half like that?

You put some asses on the pine to start the 3rd. KP8, Najee, and PF to begin with.

[Mr.wizard]

What is this offense? We are doing nothing we did last week.

[Chucktownsteeler]

Defense has been alarmingly bad in this game, kinda reminds me of the Browns playoff game, just standing around, no emotion, bad execution, etc. Steelers actually lucky it's only 16-0 at halftime tbh, yeesh.

The entire team, defense sucks but is also gassed.

[Flasteel]

This is one of the most pathetic team performances I've ever seen from the Black and Gold. Embarrassing in all phases, but particularly on offense. Canada has to be fired. It makes no sense to bench anyone, as whoever takes the field will still be running the Wing-T.

I have to go vomit before the second half starts.

[Jooser]

Worst O I've ever scene. Even the stupid commentators are scratching their heads

[SteelBucks]

The entire team, defense sucks but is also gassed.

Yeah. Time of possession is about 2-1

[WindyCitySteel]

Worst O I've ever scene. Even the stupid commentators are scratching their heads

We're back to the Joe Walton days.

[Terrapin]

May be the worst half of football I've ever seen

[Chucktownsteeler]

I agree, but the offense can’t keep going 3 and out and keep putting the defense out there. What’s the T.O.P. ?

[Chucktownsteeler]

J_E, where?s the ?O??

[BURGH86STEEL]

Welcome to "NFL parity"?

When players and teams don't execute.........

[WindyCitySteel]

I agree, but the offense can’t keep going 3 and out and keep putting the defense out there. What’s the T.O.P. ?

Was the defense tired to open the game?

[Joel Buchsbaum]

Worst O I've ever scene. Even the stupid commentators are scratching their heads

That says it all

[Starlifter]

I want a great drive to open the half. But I’m ready for another 3 and out.

["BuzzNuter"]

Maybe we can bring in the Duquense Dukes this week and scrimmage them. We need somebody's defense to get something going on.

[Starlifter]

3rd and 7. At least we converted….

[steeler_fan_in_t.o.]

Is this the first drive in houston territory?

[WindyCitySteel]

Mason Cole sucks. When Daniels is back he needs to play center.

[Ghost]

Not a single play in the playbook to get 1 or 2 yards. It is pathetic

[SteelBucks]

At least we got some points that possession.

["BuzzNuter"]

What in the H*'ll is the problem with running the ball with the QB under center. The back is moving. I don't understand this bullsh*t. We used to call it a dive play in the old days. Get your RB moving as he hits the line.

[SteelBucks]

Desperately need a turnover

[WindyCitySteel]

Everyone sees it.

[Joel Buchsbaum]

I want to see them run behind Jones and Washington. .

[T.Ferguson]

One of the big issues with the Steelers offense is the total lack of any kind of pace or urgency, it's like every play is in slow motion, contrast that with some of the plays the Texans offense is running, it's like night and day.

[Starlifter]

Totally unrelated - but in keeping with how depressed I am….

RIP Timmy Wakefield…..

[Ghost]

Everyone sees it.


https://x.com/SharpFootball/status/1708538310379856334?s=20

Everything in this tweet is true. It is malfeasance on the part of Tomlin to keep this dud employed.

[Chucktownsteeler]

I’m glad we drafted PF over Humphrey.

sarcasm off.

[SteelBucks]

Bengals getting pushed around again. 24-3

[Northern_Blitz]

That's it!

KP roll left.

Najee, remember that you're supposed to be a bad man.

[WindyCitySteel]

Kenny just needs to abandon every play call and play backyard football. **** Tomlin, **** Canada - they have no idea what they're doing. Stage a mutiny, save this season and your career.

If Tomlin was a CEO beholden to a board of directors, he'd have been gone long ago.

[kindlecatsb'ng]

Wow, Najee!

[WindyCitySteel]

Lol, what a dunce.


https://x.com/SharpFootball/status/1708555918273565033?s=20

[SteelBucks]

Looks like some “airing of grievances” happened at the half.

[Northern_Blitz]

Kenny just needs to abandon every play call and play backyard football. **** Tomlin, **** Canada - they have no idea what they're doing.

He also needs to stop running right all the time. Looks to me like D's know this and come in on the right. The pressure he rolled into earlier on the drive there was tons of room on the left.

Nice to see him roll left on the next play for the big 1st down.

[Northern_Blitz]

Let's throw it up for Washington here?

[Northern_Blitz]

Let's throw it up for Washington here?

Not even on the field I think...

[Ghost]

Horrific 3 play series.

[Northern_Blitz]

We're supposed to be a power running team.

Inside the 10, it's Shotgun, Shotgun, Shotgun.

I think this is part of the problem with guys being on the "hot seat". Can't run power because then the OC doesn't get credit for scoring.

[SteelBucks]

Come on Kenny. Heyward was wide open

[Ghost]

any chance we can scheme open a td?

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[skyhawk]

Missed the open receiver. But there was once again too much pressure.

[NorthCoast]

Missed the open receiver. But there was once again too much pressure.
Not even close. That's an NFL play KP has got to make. He chose the guy that was doubled....:(

[WindyCitySteel]

I hope Tomlin told them to "line up and beat you man".

HOF coach.

[Chucktownsteeler]

Well Washington should have been in but I will say it again, KP8 is not seeing the field. The announcer even called it. Right now the game is too fast for him.

Heyward was wide open.

[Northern_Blitz]

Not even close. That's an NFL play KP has got to make. He chose the guy that was doubled....:(

Supposed to be the smart guy who finds the open WR and makes an accurate throw.

Hopefully he becomes that.

Also...would be nice to be able to throw it to an open guy like Houston is doing.
