Game day Thread: Steelers - Raiders

[BURGH86STEEL]

Turner sucks. Starting a rookie LT and center (who arent' elite first rd prospects) is beyond stupid. But what do I know. How's it working out?

What were the genius moves that the Steelers could had made to produce better?? There probably were not any considering all factors.

What team wants the circumstances that were available to the organization?

It really doesn't surprise me that some fans are overly critical after the 1st loss of the season.

The thing is this team had an opportunity to win this game.

ahhh STFU
you're the clueless one always defending bone head decisions from the coach

i disagreed with it from the beginning. as many are now on social media

At the end of the day it wasn't a wrong or right decision. Only a decision. If I were playing madden I might go for it.

Real life I punt. Big difference. Social media has a bunch of morons. So....

Again, the way the game played out proved Tomlin made the right decision at that point.

the way the game was breaking down was... we were missing 4-5 starters on defense due to injury.

we just had a 3rd and 10 and hit the TE for 9+. you have 1 yard to get a 1st down and try a comback

instead, you punt to rely on that decimated defense i described above. a defense that carr was having a heck of a game against.

like I said, the choice to punt made no sense with the way the game was playing out

The same social media that universally picked the Steelers to lose to BUF, and then doubled down with a Steelers win over LV. Yea, they are geniuses for sure.

if you can't trust your offense to get 1 yard in that situation, you're not winning anyway. a first down there with 8 + minutes left leaves us in a much better situation



PS. duuuuuuude, can you at least watch the game before commenting on it?
c'mon man

I think it's fair to comment on games from the radio broadcast.

I'm not commenting on anyone's technique that I can't see.

Not enough disposable income for the ticket and morally opposed to stealing.

ola Aydenini almost ends the game with a walk off safety in Overtime.

not good enough to play here though. we need to spend $4M on a former 1st rounder to back up at LB.

maybe we could have used that money for some OL help

Ola's career stat line:

Did we cut him, or was he poached? I can't remember.

The Steelers stopped the Raiders after the punt. Hence the right decision.

I can point out that the Steelers Oline had little success run blocking.

Who do you trust more? Short handed defense or Oline? 50/50 decision? What's wrong or right?

The defense delivered a stop after the punt. Right decision. End of the debate.

jesus man

you're not counting the time they burned off the clock. if we were lucky enough to stop them right away we still only have 2 more possessions in the rest of the game...at best

this wasn't a 3rd qr call. there was 8 mins left in the game!!!!

a simple 3 and out running the ball left us with 6 minutes left in the game down 2 scores

funny

i just went to another game thread and went to that pouint in the game. about 15 posters opposed that move. not 1 person stuck up for punting it


oh yeah, its also a board that's not filled with a bunch of TBWs

so let's hear which elite first round OL prospect you would have drafted.

I'll wait...

[Northern_Blitz]

Any thoughts about why we don't see much success on 1st and 2nd?

Seemed like a lot of 3rd and longs today.

I think the average 3rd down was over 7 yards and at that time the Steelers were 50/50, I believe it was in the 4th quarter when I saw the stat. I don't think Ben is as much an issue as some are making him out to be. Until, the offense figures out a way to get positive yards on 1st and 2nd down, 3rd and long is going to be commonplace.

just thought of a question

which radio broadcast did you listen to?

what did thy say on the INT intedend for DJ.

the TV crew pointed out how DJ stopped his route looking for a call making it an easy INT for the raider DB.
wondering if the radio crew mentioned something similar

[NJ-STEELER]

wow

and now the chiefs RB fumbles as they try to get into a GW FG position.

what was looking at a 2 game lead over baltimore is now a tie
