    I agree that we should give up our predraft biases.

    I'm happy to give him credit when he earns it. Like he did on the last drive. And he generally plays well between the 20s.

    If you think we won this game because of QB play, I'd suggest looking at the rushing yards we put up as well as the opponent's score. We need to be able to score TDs in games to win.

    And the last drive was beautiful to watch. Hopefully a vision of what's to come.

    Somehow, we're still alive in the playoff hunt. And as I said earlier in the week, I wouldn't be surprised if playing KP earlier in the season (something I didn't want to do at the time) would probably have given us another win because Mitch turned out to be pretty bad.

    I'm fine admitting when I'm wrong. I just don't think we're really there yet with KP.

        Harris 22 for 111 = 5.0
        Warren 12 for 76 for 6.3

        Harris and Warren looked like Harris and Bleier out there. Great to see the running game take it to the Ravens (like the Ravens did to us last time). That was the difference.

          I think that this is correct.

            This.

            Probably a TD to either one of them.

            Like how two of our defenders probably could have had the pick at the end to seal it.

            Edited to add...looks to me like he's looking at Harris.

              I didn’t re watch yet, but that ball was thrown in a perfect spot to Najee. It couldn’t have been a more perfect throw. I don’t know how that could have been intended for Sims.

              simms wound up in the sane area the ball woujd have landed.
              the throw was 100% to Najee. You can see Kenny looking at him

                He may have something to do with it but I think its still the players, they're young and learning, the oline is maturing but make mistakes at the worst time during drives, Pickett still misses easy throws at the worst time, he also breaks the pocket too early often, TEs miss blocks, its all stuff that gets better as the offense matures. Of course, this is just my opinion of the offense as it stands right now but the last two games have been good for this team, high pressure, made plays and won the games, that means the moment isn't too big for them.

                  It would have missed Sims badly short, so the choice here is great throw to Najee, or bad throw to Sims, and despite their lying eyes there are some fans willing to believe the latter.

                  Seriously, it's un-f'ing-believable.

                    Why did the clock start? Should have been running the whole time.

                      A rational point was made and I’m automatically labeled as bashing Kenny. I’m an OSU alum so I have no preconceived biased against KP. The kid looks good and could thrive with a new OC.

                          Because of the ball being knocked away by fitz and the ensuing scramble.

                          the officials had to sort that out.

                            I didn't say so.

                            You did.

                              Game summary of the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Baltimore Ravens NFL game, final score 16-13, from January 1, 2023 on ESPN.


                              At about 0:24 in the Game Winning TD video.

                              I think looking at KP's helmet (earlier in the video), he seems to be tracking Najee. This is why I think he's throwing to 22.

                              But at ~ 0:24, I think you can see that the path of the ball behind Harris would have probably also been complete (if he can keep both feet in).

                              I wonder how many OCs have plays where guys are that close together in the end zone. But maybe it's inevitable since there isn't much room to work with.

                                That was 100% an improv on naj and Kenny to take his route downfield once he started scrambling
