Week #2 - Chiefs @ Steelers (Sept 16)

[EzraTank]

This my first GDT. If they lose I will never start another!

No Bell yet, go James Conner (starting him this week).

Go Steelers! Need this one!

[polamalubeast]

No Justin Hunter today,so James Washington should see a lot of action.

[86WARD]

No Haden, DeCastro or Alualu.

[Lady Steel]

LET'S GO, YOU BUMS! :cheer2::tt03::giggles:

[teegre]

This my first GDT. If they lose I will never start another!


GDT...???

I am the official Steeler's Cheerleader!!!

[Renegade]

Deep incompletion to start the game. nice

[Kittyfish]

I am the official Steeler's Cheerleader!!! Let's hope you have plenty to cheer for today!

So far, not so good...

[Lady Steel]

First play of the game was a throw from Ben to Washington. Over his head and too wide.

[86WARD]

Villenueva needs a Munchak refresher class.

[Renegade]

Horrible horrible horrible horrible

[Lady Steel]

Let's hope you have plenty to cheer about today!

Agreed. Hi, Kitty!

[Edman]

3 and out for the Offense.

Not good. Then Danny Smith Special Teams shows its junk.

[86WARD]

Whew...that’s a putrid start...and gets worse after the punt...

[43Hitman]

Good job Ben

[Renegade]

and this game is absolutely over

[Mach1]

Picked up right where they left off last week.

[86WARD]

More impressive Danny Smith special teams.

[faninyork]

We are so bad...

[Kittyfish]

Oh boy, just great

[43Hitman]

Al is getting beat again..

- - - Updated - - -


and this game is absolutely over
See ya next week then

[Lady Steel]

This already isn't looking good, but lots of game left.

Keep the faith, Steelers faithful.

[steelreserve]

I guess I could think of a worse way to start the game if you gave me some time, but this does the job JUST fine.

[Edman]

Not doing a particularly good job quieting the critics.

[86WARD]

Mahomes to Conley. More miscommunication on the defense.

7-0 Chiefs.

[Lady Steel]

Refs getting involved early again. *sigh*

[Edman]

Artie Burned.

7-0 Kansas City.

[Renegade]

Defense never improves. No discipline on special teams. Bad Ben. Time for Josh Dobbs to be the starter. Tomlin needs fired.

[Lady Steel]

TD KC. :mad:

[Neversatisfied]

This team is a big mess

[Kittyfish]

Still appears to be a little rust to say the least... let's have a better series this time, let's answer here

[lipps83]

Chiefs start out quick. Steelers should be a fast 3 and out.

[Lady Steel]

BBQ Chicken and potato salad are on the menu at my house today during halftime. And it looks like we will need lots of adult beverages, too. :lol:

[steelreserve]

If the "new NFL" means everybody is rusty from limited preseason preparation ... why does it seem like we're affected and other teams do just fine?

[teegre]

Not Burns’ fault

[86WARD]

Artie Burned.

7-0 Kansas City.

Turns out wasn’t Artie’s fault.

[Renegade]

This just isnt getting any better

[Polamalu Princess]

Come on! Play like you want to win!!!

[Lady Steel]

Geesh, Conner goes nowhere. :(

[lipps83]

Sweet, total of -2 yards in 2 plays. On the right track.

[86WARD]

Jesus Ben...WTF. Looks like a rookie QB back there.

[Edman]

Fire Todd Haley you guys! He's the problem!

[Renegade]

Im the real loser... I started Ben today in my fantasy team.

[steelreserve]

I don't even know if that TD was Burns' fault, it looked like he was supposed to be covering someone else and had to abandon that because the other guys completely blew their assignment and left a guy wide open.

[Kittyfish]

Wow, we really suck so far

[Lady Steel]

WTH, Ben!

[stillers4me]

1st game on our new 75" QLED. I doesn't make it any prettier.

That's exactly what it looked like. The receiver was doubled but they both left him to Burns who already had a man himself.

Butler, go figure.

[ShoeHorn]

It’s official. We suck this year.

[43Hitman]

Looked that way to me too.

I shouldn't laugh, but :lol:.

[86WARD]

Offense/Defense/Special Teams ... they’re all terrible right now.

[steelreserve]

Man, if I'd just decided to sleep through the first half, i could've gotten extra drunk last night, which sounds about 50 times more fun than this.

[86WARD]

This defense is sooooooo bad...lol.

[Lady Steel]

KC having no problems completing passes.

[Mach1]

Being out played and out coached thus far.

[Renegade]

Just not ready to play.

[Kittyfish]

Man, if I'd just decided to sleep through the first half, i could've gotten extra drunk last night, which sounds about 50 times more fun than this.
It looks like the whole team got extra drunk last night. And I just might get extra drunk tonight...

[86WARD]

I guess the defense being this bad is expected when really there’s only 3 good players on that side of the ball.

[Mach1]

Interested to know how you like the TV. We’re in the market.

[Renegade]

Another young qb, another loss. This team is really bad.

[lipps83]

Got 'em right where we want them.

[Lady Steel]

FML

[Kittyfish]

Holy shit, this is just embarrassing

[JayC]

:no:

[Polamalu Princess]

:ill::ill::ill::ill:

[Edman]

Butler Fails again. 14-0 Kansas City.

You know, this really needs to happen to this team. This team was in need for a big time reality check.

[Rotorhead]

We are going to get crushed, our def and off are clearly not ready to play today

[st33lersguy]

Looks like they are getting exposed by a real NFL team and real NFL offense after flopping and flailing against the Clowns.

Defense isn't any better from last year's J'ville loss

[lipps83]

Butler Fails again. 14-0 Kansas City.

You know, this really needs to happen.

The defense could play like this all season, and Fichtner will get fired.

Yes, Haley needed to go badly, but Butler is worse.

[Renegade]

this

[lipps83]

A screen to Brown should get this team pumped up. They can pick up 2 yards.

[steelreserve]

Kind of reminds me of Tecmo Super Bowl in the first couple of games when the computer is on extra easy mode.

We're the computer.

And hell, our QB might as well be Bubby Brister at this rate.

[EzraTank]

Going to be a very long season.

At what point will ownership hold the "defensive" genius Tomlin responsible for this garbage? Since Cowher's players have aged out his defense has gone from league dominant to this garbage.

[Mojouw]

This is exactly what I thought it would be.

Okay. Won't be able to watch today. Family stuff.

Look forward to the absolutely lunatic ravings next week.

[st33lersguy]

The defense could play like this all season, and Fichtner will get fired.

Yes, Haley needed to go badly, but Butler is worse.

No idea why Butler still has a job

[86WARD]

Danny Smith really needs to go. If the Steelers go 0-16 and Smith were to be fired, it would be a successful season.

[Kittyfish]

Wow, the crowd is NOT happy, not that I blame them

[86WARD]

Jesse James may be the only consistent player on this team.

[st33lersguy]

Bout time we got a good play

[Polamalu Princess]

JJ really kept a tight hold on that ball.

[Lady Steel]

Heeeeeeath!

[86WARD]

Ben and AB just cannot hey on the same page...

[Edman]

Yes, Haley needed to go badly, but Butler is worse.

Name the last time a Todd Haley offense ever had such a poor performance like this. It wasn't Todd Haley that shit the bed against Jacksonville.

And another overthrow.

[Kittyfish]

There's the first decent play of the whole game so far

[steelreserve]

Wow! Positive yards!

[SteeleReign]

That should have been a penalty!

Dammit with the screens Ben!

[Polamalu Princess]

Nice!!!!!

[Lady Steel]

I hate screen plays so much. We suck at 'em.

[86WARD]

These guys just cannot do the basics.

[Edman]

James Conner. Great job. Some momentum.

[86WARD]

Nice catch and run by the Armadillo

[Lady Steel]

Great run by Conner.

[Kittyfish]

Nice job breaking that tackle

[43Hitman]

Hell yeah Conner!! nice moves kid!!

[Lady Steel]

There we go! Nice completion from Ben to AB.

[43Hitman]

Now we have something

[Kittyfish]

Now the crowd is waking up. 7 and 84 finally hook up, maybe they can get it together now

[steelcityboyz]

Wow glad we have such a high powered offense

[86WARD]

Ben isn’t even remotely close on these throws unless he’s throwing to the jolly green giant in the stands

[Edman]

Drive stalls with another overthrow.

[st33lersguy]

Ben is off thus far.

[43Hitman]

no flag huh? color me surprised...not

[FrancoLambert]

And I was worried that after surviving Florence in S.C. with the expected loss of electricity, I would miss seeing the game. It's on in my market.
Miraculously, I did not lose power. Yippee!!!! Lucky me! I get to see the game! What a start!

[86WARD]

Boswell taking the money and running...

[steelcityboyz]

What a shit show.

[Edman]

And no good lol.

Boz keeps failing on his contract.

[lipps83]

Ben isn’t even remotely close on these throws unless he’s throwing to the jolly green giant in the stands

Yup.

Boswell blows so far this season too.

[st33lersguy]

Bos is off now

[Mach1]

Awesome :no:

[analyst69]

Put Ben out to pasture. I thought Ben fired Haley ?

[JayC]

what a disaster all around

[43Hitman]

Geez...what the hell is going on here!

[Lady Steel]

Wow, Bos misses the FG. This entire team truly is a mess.

[pczach]

Drive stalls with another overthrow.



If only Kordell Stewart was behind center, this offense would really be humming.....

[Kittyfish]

When even Bos messes up two games in a row, you know we're in trouble

Or what Lady Steel said, lol

[43Hitman]

Put Ben out to pasture. I thought Ben fired Haley ?

go away

[Neversatisfied]

There is so much wrong with the Steelers at this point, Offense, defense, special teams and coaching

[steelcityboyz]

If only Kordell Stewart was behind center, this offense would really be humming.....I'd be happy to give Dobbs a try at this point.

[86WARD]

$uisham still alive?

[st33lersguy]

Another fucking completion

[Lady Steel]

And I was worried that after surviving Florence in S.C. with the expected loss of electricity, I would miss seeing the game. It's on in my market.
Miraculously, I did not lose power. Yippee!!!! Lucky me! I get to see the game! What a start!

Happy you are safe and with us here today. :)

[steelreserve]

For all that was said about Ben's injury being no big deal - is it really? He looks like he's really struggling getting the ball downfield, accuracy is nonexistent, almost all wet-noodle throws. Lots of soft floaters that are still overthrows, as if he hasn't got the zip to make the throw and is trying to compensate for it. Have to say I'm kind of concerned.

[86WARD]

What a joke. The defense has no idea what to do with anything.

[EzraTank]

LOL.

0-14-2 (assuming we can tie the Browns again).

[steelcityboyz]

Do we even have a game plan????

[Edman]

The team has absolutely no confidence whatsoever. Offense is weak. Defense is weak. No attitude or moxie at all.

[86WARD]

If only Kordell Stewart was behind center, this offense would really be humming.....

Wouldn’t help the mess that is defense or special teams

[steelreserve]

What a joke. This game is a frigg'n circus.

[Renegade]

Maybe Ben just isnt good anymore. Maybe a bad year is what is needed for Tomlin to get fired finally.

[86WARD]

Should’ve been a TD there to Kelce...he was open.

[FrancoLambert]

Nice tackling.

[86WARD]

They aren’t even making an effort to tackle...Edmunds...lol

[Neversatisfied]

Enough is enough, the Steelers need to part ways with Mike Tomlin and rebuild

[Mach1]

Tomlins seat is getting warmer

[Lady Steel]

Edmunds misses. TD KC.

[Steelerschik]

Happy you are safe and with us here today. :)

Hi Lady! Hope you're well!

So I'm watching this game and am confused by what I'm seeing. I'm on here wondering if I'm alone in this? Because I think something might be wrong with my T.V. that says 21-0 KC.

[43Hitman]

oh boy

[Edman]

21-0. The laugher is on.

Somehow somewhere, a change needs to be made.

[steelcityboyz]

21 layed on us and the first quarter isn't even over lol Oh well, "we will own this loss and get back to work"

A couple of WR screens and the Steelers are right back in this game.

No worries.

Hi, Chiky! Happy to see you here. :)

You're not alone, sistah. We're all having the same nightmare. :lol:

[86WARD]

If you are going to run out of bounds just stay in the fucking end zone. We see this year after year with every return man the Steelers have had. That clearly falls on Danny Smith. It’s a fucking joke this guy still has a job.

[FrancoLambert]

I'm not a Tomlin basher.

Watching this mess you've got to really wonder about the coaching.

[EzraTank]

Is smith-schuster playing?

[Polamalu Princess]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[86WARD]

More mental mistakes on Pittsburgh. Can’t do the basics...

[Steeldude]

A completely confused defense.

[Blue Steel]

This game is blacked out over here on Game Pass because its on satellite TV in the UK. Sounds like I dodged a bullet.

[Edman]

That's it. It's time for Ben to sit.

Oh my God...lol.

[Kittyfish]

Sorry, guys, I can't watch this, I have better things to do than watch us get a shellacking. Hoping for the best but I can't see it happening now. Have fun.

[Neversatisfied]

Bailed out

[43Hitman]

Fuck me

[st33lersguy]

If I laugh, it's a defense mechanism to take the pain away

[Steeldude]

More mental mistakes on Pittsburgh. Can’t do the basics...

No one teaches it to them. These are just players running around aimlessly hoping for a rare splash play.

[Polamalu Princess]

Like a greased pig at the county fair!!!!

[pczach]

Wouldn’t help the mess that is defense or special teams


I know. I was being sarcastic towards the poster that stated Kordell never played football as bad as Ben did last week.

[Edman]

Rescued by the Referees.

[86WARD]

There’s a gift.

[43Hitman]

Gilbert and Al getting worked again

[EzraTank]

They need to go hurry up. They need all the offensive plays they can get today.

[Steeldude]

Hey, but it's ok because it's only game 2, right? Plenty of games in the season. Right?

[Lady Steel]

There's our JuJu!

[Steelerschik]

Sorry, guys, I can't watch this, I have better things to do than watch us get a shellacking. Hoping for the best but I can't see it happening now. Have fun.

No Kitty...stay!!! We get a TD here it's a whole new game!!!!

[Lady Steel]

That's it... Give it to JuJu all day long!

[86WARD]

I know. I was being sarcastic towards the poster that stated Kordell never played football as bad as Ben did last week.

Missed that reference...knew it was sarcastic tho...lol

[pczach]

That's it. It's time for Ben to sit.


Is it time for any of the offensive linemen to sit?

Just curious.

[lipps83]

No Kitty...stay!!! We get a TD here it's a whole new game!!!!

No it isn't.

[SteelMayhem72]

Im so frustrated with this team

[Steelerschik]

There's our JuJu!

LOVE Juju. OMG in the name of Leveon Bell, I just want a W.

[86WARD]

21-0 (should be 28-0) after one...lol.

[43Hitman]

Is it time for any of the offensive linemen to sit?

Just curious.

No shit, cause they are blowing chunks today. Ben is being harassed on almost all plays.

[st33lersguy]

Feed Juju and AB

[Edman]

Is it time for any of the offensive linemen to sit?

Just curious.

Holding the ball forever is the Offensive Lines fault?

Gotta find someone to blame for Ben playing like shit.

[steelcityboyz]

Hey, but it's ok because it's only game 2, right? Plenty of games in the season. Right?That's what some think.. Me? we need all the wins we can get.

[Steeldude]

Tomlin needs to instill discipline and fundamentals. You can't reply on rare splash plays to win games.

[43Hitman]

why the hell are they shutting down a free play..WTF!

[Polamalu Princess]

:cheer2::cheer2::cheer2: TD - Finally!!!!

[j-d-s]

Sutton is worse than Antwon Blake.

Where do we always find those hot garbage secondary players?

[st33lersguy]

TD! Will it stand?

[Edman]

Signs of life thanks to the Outlaw.

Touchdown Steelers. Great Job Ben.

[pczach]

Yeah....Ben really sucks.

[Steelerschik]

There it is!! The rust if off! Come on boys, we can do this!

[43Hitman]

JuJu's man can't cover him. Keep feeding him the ball!!

[86WARD]

Nice play by James for the TD.

[Lady Steel]

TD BY THE OUTLAW!

WE'RE IN IT TO WIN IT! :lol:

[43Hitman]

TD STEELERS!!!!

[st33lersguy]

Bout time

[SteelMayhem72]

finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the defense needs to step their ass up

[86WARD]

finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the defense needs to step their ass up

Lol. Good Luck

[43Hitman]

finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the defense needs to step their ass up

I agree, tired of seeing missed assignment and missed tackles

[Lady Steel]

LOVE Juju. OMG in the name of Leveon Bell, I just want a W.

We need a win at home today, or the team may not get out alive. :giggles:

[Shoes]

The good old Game Day thread.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN4Di8DEPf8

[43Hitman]

LETS GO DEFENSE, TIME TO EARN YOUR PAYCHECKS!!

[Edman]

None of this even matters if the Defense doesn't wake up.

Butler has to pull his head out of his ass, just a little bit.

[Lady Steel]

LET'S GO, DEFENSE!

DEFENSE, DEFENSE, DEFENSE!

[pczach]

Big Dan!!!!

[86WARD]

McCullers with the sack!

[Lady Steel]

Holmes SACKED!

LET'S GO!

[43Hitman]

There we go! Nice coverage sack!

[Steelerschik]

We need a win at home today, or the team may not get out alive. :giggles:

LOL true. Then again watching the first quarter I'm not sure how many of them were alive to begin with.

[FrancoLambert]

Momentum shifts if we stop them here.

[steelreserve]

What do you want to bet we stop them amd then get a penalty called om us for an automatic first down

[Edman]

Defense holds.

[Polamalu Princess]

Time to score.

[86WARD]

Defense shows up there...barely.

[Lady Steel]

Cleveland-New Orleans game tied at 3.

[lipps83]

Offense needs to score here backed by another defensive stop to keep this momentum going.

Offense can do it, I don't know if the defense can.

[Lady Steel]

Alright, LET'S GO BEN! :tt03:

[steelcityboyz]

Need to score this drive... Grab the momentum back.

[pczach]

54 yard punt.....no return.

I wonder what that's like when your team does that???

[ShoeHorn]

time for james Washington to show what can do

[86WARD]

It’s the Madden jinx

[Lady Steel]

:lol: @ Shoes Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde video. 'Tis true.

[FrancoLambert]

54 yard punt.....no return.

I wonder what that's like when your team does that???

Ask a Ravens fan.

[steelcityboyz]

Ben to Ju JU Ben to JuJU Ben to JuJu

[86WARD]

Ben watched Switzer from huddle to pass on that play...

[Lady Steel]

'Atta boy, Ben! Me likey. :)

[43Hitman]

Nice throw and catch by Ben and Switzer

[86WARD]

James!!

[Lady Steel]

Ben to Ju JU Ben to JuJU Ben to JuJu

Seriously. We just can't say it enough.

On that note, The Outlaw is having a good game thus far.

[43Hitman]

Nice!

[Polamalu Princess]

QB sneak.

[steelcityboyz]

Why waste a down?

[Lady Steel]

JuJu giving it his all out there. Fighting like hell for every yard. :)

[GoSlash27]

I think Conner may be hurt.

[86WARD]

Ben’s deep ball has been really off target this season.

[Polamalu Princess]

Move the chains!!!!

[43Hitman]

Where is Conner?

[Steeldude]

Stop forcing splash plays. Get the first down

[Lady Steel]

1st down by AB! Yeah, baby!

LET'S GO!

[86WARD]

Wow. That’s the plays you talk about!!

[43Hitman]

Okay i see him now. I was worried that he may be hurt

[Steeldude]

Where is Conner?

Down by too much too soon.

[Lady Steel]

Haha! Shovel pass by Ben. Now here's the Ben we all know and love. Well, most of us anyway. Those who hate Ben can suck it. :giggles:
