    Around the NFL thread

    Red Zone day today, just saw two long TD passes by Lamar and Ridder to WIDE open tight ends, open by 20+ yards. You'd think we'd stumble into a fluke like that now and again even if we can't scheme it up.

    Lol, 2nd long TD for Lamar, this time only open by 5 yards, which turned to 1 yard when the receiver had to stop, turn around, scoop it off the turf, and then fall into the EZ.

    Ravens fans gon be hatin' on PFF after they give Lamar a mid grade despite his counting stats.

      Blown coverages by guessing CBs. Steelers don't have QBs that can see wide open anyway.

          Flacco is out-playing every QB on our team

            someone mentioned an incompatibility with a recent update to edge.

            looks ok to me on Safari and Chrome

              Stroud 6/12 28 yards against Jets in 3rd quarter

              Mayfield 8/14 49 yards in 3rd quarter against Falcons

              Trevor Lawrence 11/22 100 yards 1 TD 2 INT against Browns

              Just ugly time for QB play in the NFL

                I agree that our scheme is bad.

                But there are wide open TDs available sometimes. Like CA3 on the play KP got hurt; the TD that was there to DJ before he got hurt; there was another wide open TD to DJ that was behind him so he tried to change direction, but couldn't do it fast enough; the throw to DJ that he dropped.

                Plays are there. We just don't have guys making them.

                  Was all crap for me for a while (Brave). I turned off the built in add blocker and it seems to work now.

                  Also doesn't work for me in Chrome. Didn't turn off add block plugin I have there to test.

                  Don't know if it has to do with the "not secure" message that comes with this site.

                    Steelers had 2 games to put a lock on the playoffs. They screwed the pooch and now the stains and bungles are playing inspired. Wouldn’t surprise me if 3 out of 4 make the dance with pit sitting home again this year.

                      I'm talking about downfield receivers with no one else in the frame. We never see that.

                      Also, Breece Hall just walked into the EZ with a nicely schemed swing pass.

                      Everyone in the league seems to be able to scheme up wide open receivers.

                        Doug Pederson just challenged a play that was called down at the 1, got the play overturned. TD.

                        Take note, coach T. They don't just call TDs and let replay take over.

                          And I'll say it again -- I'd take Fields in the offseason, the talent is immense, just bring in a guy like Reich and get new position coaches.

                            Where did you find that ad blocker? I looked for it after reading this, but can't find it.

                              Flacco off the couch with over 300 yards passing against the jags.

                              Either we have the worst players in the league or just MAYBE coaching is important.
