90 minutes past end of the game and no comments??
Yep, I get it. What to make of this team?
I mean, when you have 7 sacks. 12 qb hits. Bombs to claypool. a 14 point lead at the half and an opposing team who has lost the starting QB and now must have the backup face what is reputed to be the best defense in the NFL - no worries right?
yet it took a brain fart on a 4th down play to stop the broncos.
So, like last week - maybe a little good and bad to discuss.
This week, i'll start with the good.
O-line did a solid job, especially the right side. Steelers gave some help there, but Ben had good pockets and time to throw
Ben had a decent game. Not spectacular - but good. The interception was awful - especially with 6 seconds to decide.
Claypool is going to be stellar. What a beautiful catch and run.
Dionte has flashes both great and awful. Today it was more good than bad.
The defense didn't sell out like last week to stop the run, but still did a nice job on the front lines.
great pressure when rushing 4. that's really nice to see
I thought the game plans called on both sides of the ball were effective. Any hiccups resulted from poor play, not necessarily stupid calls.
here's the bad.
offense kept a bad team in the game with ridiculous turnovers.
high amount of penalties kept a bad team in the game with first downs
connor is a north south runner, not a speed around the edge runner.
snell puts it on the ground two games in a row
I have yet to see the upgrade in the punter
Someone needs to take the red flag out of tomlins pocket and never give it back. The lost timeout could have been crucial.
horrible 3rd down conversion.
clearly still a lot of rust on offense.
the upside to the season is we started against 2 teams that on paper the steelers were clearly superior to. the team is 2-0 as expected - but dang if they didn't make us sweat it both weeks. Houston will be interesting. They may be 0-2 coming in and desperate - but i think Bill O'brien is an awful coach so we still have a great chance to be 3-0. I thought 3-1 to finish sept was doable If they get there, no matter how ugly - it's a solid start to the season. These wins will pay dividends in December when hopefully they are playing their best football.
I just didn't need today's stress. It's too early in the season to be popping Tums - especially against a beat up team with a backup QB.
yeeesh.
But I'll just focus on 2-0. That's what I wanted for the first two weeks...
serenity now........
