Steelers - Lions

[Eich]

From a competitive standpoint it was a good game. A competitive game is what I expected. Unfortunately it wasn't fun for Steelers fans because of the tie. If the Steelers would had won then it's a different story.

well, yeah, a win always feels better and helps mask the pain. But this game was full of pain. Calling it competitive feels weird despite the score being close all game long.

[Northern_Blitz]

let me guess. the only player on the current team to win 2 SBs

why would the coach want him back this year if he's so bad about practice?

don't worry blitz. just 8 more games and he'll be gone but the head stooge will still be here.

who will you start blaming then?

The players that turn out over, probably.

You really don't get it do you?

I'm pointing out that if some posters think not taking practice seriously is a really big problem on this team, maybe they should be pointing to the QB that doesn't practice much as well as the HC.

I think the reason that "The Patriot Way" worked was because Brady took all of BBs **** with a smile in his face. So no one on that team could complain because the GOAT was getting it as bad as anyone else.

Cam is a guy like that in our team by all accounts.

But I don't think those posters care about them taking practice seriously. I think they only care about blaming Tomlin for something

Feels kind of similar to the Chi game, just we tied instead of winning.

Lots of things wrong with this team. But I think I'm going to try to keep my initial expectations in mind and see if I can enjoy the ride.

Rudolph had two days of practice with this gameplan which is less than Roethlisberger typically gets even w his day off.

[Northern_Blitz]

I wonder how many teams have turned it over twice in OT before.

It's got to be pretty rare, right?

pouncey was another vet that used to take wednesday off a lot. even hines back in the day (with coach cowher). jerome another one

so i'll ask you, why are you blaming 1 player when its something this organization has done for almost 2 decades with multiple players

[feltdizz]

maybe a leader doesn’t take a day off even though its offered?

I’m sure that would get the respect of the young kids.

For the record, I have always said Tomlin is to blame for letting these vets take days off. I have never been a fan of days off for vets. It creates a divide in the locker room.

[papillon]

people are acting like Muth's fumble *lost* the game... soo much had to happen there (i'm pretty sure the lions took over with 8 seconds)... it sucked but so much had to happen at that point to even GET a FG off, nevermind actually making the damn thing from 50+

Well, the one to tie the game was from 49 and it hit the net behind the goal posts and it split the uprights. I'd like our chances to win with Boz's foot even at 52, 53, 54 yards, however long it would have been.

I’m standing by my gut feeling watching it live, just kick it!!! If there was a team that would screw up the easiest scenario of make sure you get out of bounds or throw it out of bounds if there’s there’s even the slightest chance of getting tackled inbounds, it’s the Steelers. Even if Boswell is 5 yards short on the 57 yd attempt at least we know they got the try off.

Yep. If Freiermuth doesn’t fumble, there is still not enough time to get off the kick. The decision not to kick on 3rd was a bad one, and may have cost us the win and first place in the division as a result.

Who made that decision thou?

I have always thought the very same thing.

Lots of things wrong with every team in the league. Especially with the unknown variables of injuries, how players will perform, ect. It probably what makes football the most unpredictable and exciting sport in America.

Yep. How can the GOAT lose to a 2 win team? How did BAL lose to a 2 win team?

since all losses are Tomlin's fault, then Arians and Harbaugh are obviously to blame for not having their teams prepared to play.

[JTP53609]

I’m done expressing my frustration on the not kicking on third down but one underlying topic is the constant claypool
nagging injuries, he SHOULD of had a big game today but he’s got fu amatu ma a fala disease, some guys are just injury prone and he will be his whole career.
