    Did we just watch the most perfect preseason EVER?

    I know it is just preseason.
    Yes the games don't count.

    First team offense scores EVERY drive
    First team defense forces 3 and out every drive.

    Even THE SPECIAL TEAMS look better than I have ever seen.

    Returns have NEVER looked so exciting, coverage is nice, even OUR FAT PUNTER who our first team never needed, had outstanding
    punts.

    We end the preseason games relatively injury free.

    THE MOST IMPORTANT PLAYER HAS A PERFECT QB RATING.

    Yes it is just preseason. Yes the games dont count.

    But it is all we have and I have never seen a team have such an absolutely perfect preseason.




    In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

    The Coach Formerly Considered Less Than Cowher

    Hard to imagine it going better for the first teamers.

    It's minor because of how we scored so frequently with explosive plays, but I would have liked to see the 1st team play in the red zone since passing there was a big issue for us last year.

    I guess at least we finally got something of a red zone experience because the explosive pass only got us down to the 1 yard line?

    But that's just picking nits. Lots to be excited about going into the season. And KP is at the top of the list of exciting things. Which is was we'll need to compete for more than just getting into the playoffs.

    Yes, probably the best preseason I have ever watched.

    Not sure how anyone can watch and have something negative things to say.

    Can’t wait for week 1 to see how we execute vs a good defense.

    on pace for the perfect season.

    no punts this year.

    no FGs.

    no 1st downs given up.

    SuperBowl or Bust baby!!!!

    It looked good at camp. It has looked very good in the pre-season. Just have to realize we have not been playing against Ravens 1st team or Bengals 1st team or Chiefs 1st etc.
    Long season ahead but each week we'll learn more and 49er's will be a rough challenge week 1 and we'll know more after that game. If we can throw punches with a team that good we'll know a lot more about ourselves.

    Pretty much. Some people don't remember that KP had a passer rating of 124.7 last preseason. Then the real games started.

    Ouch. optimism spoiler. Eye ball test is different thou IMO.
    From the 2011-2022 season,(A 12 year period that the majority of Cowher's players & coaches had left) Mike Tomlin has only won 3 playoff games. And two of those wins were against back up Quarterbacks. Currently, Tomlin hasn't won a playoff game in 6 years.

    pretty sure most remember, but it wasn’t with the one’s and most complained it was mostly check downs.

    Actually, didn’t he have a game winning drive last preseason and a successful 2 minute drive.. which we also saw him do late in the regular season?

    This year we watched Pickett have 13.3 air yards per pass and TD’s on every drive. Its still preseason but like someone else said… its much better to have optimism based on what we watched this year vs a pedestrian preseason and wondering if the offense has improved.
