[86WARD]

Come on Levi! That’s a pick 6…

[86WARD]

Good defense. Good tackle by Roberts. He’s a tackling machine…

[crcsnail]

Yoi and double Yoi!

[86WARD]

Oh my!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Edman]

George Pickens the cancer takes it 90 yards to the house.

[86WARD]

Love the two mouth pieces!! [emoji23]

[pepsyman1]

A Slant route? what's that...I'm not sure I've ever seen that before

Beautiful!!

[JimHarbaugh'ssoakedtissue]

I had a feeling with all the Pickens cut him talk from fans.

[EzraTank]

Is there a reason Trubisky shouldn't be cut after today? Why Tomlin left him in for so many weeks ... I said it two years ago when we signed him. He absolutely blows.

[steelcityboyz]

Joe Burrow looks like he's 12 years old lol

[86WARD]

Too much time, too little coverage…

[86WARD]

These announcers aren’t very exciting.

[ShadesOfSteel1172]

Is it me or do they look a little slower than usual on defense?

Sent from my SM-G781V using Tapatalk

[EzraTank]

Our defense looks normal. Guy wide open in the middle of the field

[86WARD]

The bullshit “bounces” continue to go against the Steelers…

[El Kabong]

Well, that was a nice start.

[ShadesOfSteel1172]

How do you let them complete that??

Sent from my SM-G781V using Tapatalk

[Edman]

Pat Pete redzone interception!

[El Kabong]

YEAH

[86WARD]

Pat Pete with the pick as Safety!

[Mach1]

And smart enough to go down

[EzraTank]

What a Trubisky like pass by Browning. Just gave away 3 free points.

[El Kabong]

:tt03:

[ShadesOfSteel1172]

Wow, I'm surprised he threw that up for grabs, thought he was trying to throw it away

I might have to take back some criticism of Mason. So far he looks better than Mitch by a long shot and maybe better than Kenny too.

[86WARD]

Nice job by Rudolph

[steelcityboyz]

I got to give mason credt he looks in control of this game.

[86WARD]

When did they sign Allen Robinson? [emoji23]

[T&B fan]

this looks looks the pre season team

[JimHarbaugh'ssoakedtissue]

Robinson actually making a impact, maybe it's the QB ?

[ShadesOfSteel1172]

Rudolph looks comfortable in the pocket, doing well. I'm looking for consistency

Nice runs by Harris!

[T&B fan]

another low snap . got lucky that time

[El Kabong]

Harris!!!

[tube517]

Missed the first score.


Did they bench or trade Pickens yet?

The offense is looking amazingly effective. If Mason balls out all game, do we have a QB controversy in the 'burgh?

For the first time this year i'm actually enjoying watching the steelers.

[86WARD]

That’s a new play…

[Edman]

Touchdown Steelers.

14-0.

[86WARD]

And they used Austin like he should be used…TD!!!

What a block by Warren!!!

[JimHarbaugh'ssoakedtissue]

Is this Bizzaro Steelers like the Seinfeld episode ?

[EzraTank]

Watching the replay, Pickens still ran his route despite the play call going to the opposite side of the field which was a good a sign.

[ShadesOfSteel1172]

Can we actually get over 20 points this game?? I'm starting to believe so

Tomlin potentially torpedoed another season because he was too loyal to Mitch Trubisky, when he had better right under his nose.

It's a guarantee. Highsmith blatantly held twice on this drive but the refs are officiating the score not the game.

A stop here will break the bungals backs,

JPJ with the coverage!! Turnover on downs!! PI??

Joey Porter Jr shuts the door. Now the Steelers need to get out of their endzone.

[El Kabong]

Haven't given up a point yet.

[Mach1]

Lucky he didn't get a pi call

[EzraTank]

JPJ got away with a hold/PI there.

Mason has earned a least a look for next week against Seattle.

If the Bengals keep single covering George Pickens, he may go for over 300 yards tonight.

Why haven't all the other teams done that????? :sofunny:
