Frustrating to play against as well I suspect. On D you have us completely stonewalled until we make a couple of huge plays in the fourth quarter (save for last week). And on offense you can move the ball up and down the field on us until we get that game changing turnover or sack. I think the teams we have beat honestly believe they are better than us. Not that it matters. A win is a win.Originally Posted by DuckHodges
Get Minkah back, JP Jr continues to shine, as does Peterson, we suddenly have a defense playing its best ball of the season down the stretch
on offense the running game continues to roll, the next big if is KP and the passing game -they wake up (they have the talent) and watch out - seriously, as much as I criticize Tomlin for underperformance the opposite is true also, never underestimate his teams…i could see a serious run out of nowhere, if any team in the league is going to do it it’s us
or my post doesn’t look good in a few weeks
that team had Bettis with Dawson and John Jackson blocking, I think it was Kordell’s post slash era though - not good

I think it was 96 with Tomczak at QB. Bettis first year as a Steeler. Boring pass game.
Actually this years team reminds me of the 89 team with Bubby. 2 RB split carries. Pass game non existent. Young players form the core of the defense.
Out gained and out scored for the whole season.

Their QB isn’t playing that great though. Clearly not good enough to carry the team. What if Josh Allen just strung a few good seasons together and has just returned to what he really was in 2018 and 2019?

Burrow hurt his throwing hand in the Thursday night game and couldn't return. What if the Steelers luck out and don't have to face either Watson or Burrow in the next two games?

Watson doesn't scare anyone. I'm actually more concerned about DTR than him.

Nothing really changes. They still need to win the games on the field no matter who is quarterbacking the other team.
Well we almost got beat by Will Levis, so yeah, assume no gimme’s. That’s how we’ve gotten burned in the past.

Burrow out for the season

This team was pushed to the final play by Will Levis and Jordan Love, and got blown out by CJ Stroud.
Any advantage the Steelers have is offset by Pickett, and DTR will outplay him Sunday.
you probably aren't wrong ... Has Pickett outplayed ANY QB he has faced this year in terms of passing yards ?
I dont believe he has but I could be mistaken
Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. 4 teams in 5 years and traded twice in one off season
Jesus Christ you’ve become a negative insufferable kunt. Blinded by hatred of the KP pick. He outplayed Watson, Garrapolo and Stafford at a minimum yard’s irrelevant.Every effing week, STFU already. We get it you still want to blow Redskins QB!
Wins don’t count but suddenly passing yards the barometer of success.
ummm ...I just agreed with someone why are you not half way up their ass ... oh cause you got a hard on for me ... sorry I dont like dudes so move on
Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. 4 teams in 5 years and traded twice in one off season
DTR will outplay Canada, as far as I’m concerned KP is handcuffed by him
careful cubanstogie might call you a kunt or accuse you or wanting to blow DTR .... you can't just have an opinion with him around ....

Seriously? It’s one thing to have an opinion. It’s another to validate it daily with negativity and constant criticism. If we were 3-6 I could understand. I have same feeling pertaining to Biden, fetterman and all other libtards when my candidate isn’t picked. But rants daily do no good. We’re stuck with KP as our best option now. A Super Bowl win is not on the table but valuable playoff experience certainly is, even as poorly as this offense is. I apologize for name calling tho, I was venting and shouldn’t have hit send.
Why didn't our defense go after DTR?? Speed him up to make mistakes? We couldn't get to him most times so why not make an adjustment and blitz him more in the second half of the game? We held them to 13 points and that was good. But I'm sure we could have gone after a rookie QB only making his second start much more aggressively than that and gotten better results. We let DTR gain confidence throughout that game. That's on Austin/Tomlin.
I wonder how long it will be this time until you're caught lying again?
think you can make it until tomorrow?
lmao...
Not sure how much faster you wanted him to get. He got the ball out on one read and usually less than 2.5 seconds. Anytime he held it longer than about 2.25 seconds....a pass rusher hit him.

We our presently in the first wildcard spot. If we win the games we should, we should keep that position (of course we could still win the division).
Remaining schedule:
Browns - A Rams, H Jags, H Bears, A Texans, H Jets, A Bengals.
Ravens - Bye, H Rams, A Jags, A Niners, H Dolphins, H Steelers
Steelers - H Cards, H Pats, A Colts, H Bengals, A Seahawks, A Ravens.
Overall, clearly Ravens have the toughest schedule down the stretch. Of course, they have a game in hand. Toss up between the Steelers or the Browns having the easiest schedule down the stretch. The Rams are an interesting team on both the Browns and Ravens schedule. Rams are not a good team, but can be a challenging matchup. Neither can afford to drop their game against the Rams.
Good day for Steelers. Would have been nice to see Ravens lose but Browns, Bills and Texans (who we lose a tie breaker to) all losing really helped.
Didn't post Bengals schedule but I think they are toast.
Btw: Falcons are a 4th seed in the NFC with a 5- 6 record.
I don’t want to be pessimistic but I don’t see the Ravens falling out of first place. They are good and lucky. Maybe they’ll lose one more game or something but they’ll probably beat us in Baltimore and that’s all that will end up mattering.We our presently in the first wildcard spot.

But I think we’re in good shape to get a wildcard. And once we’re in the playoffs… who am I kidding, we’ll probably get all excited and then get blown out in the first round.
But if Kenny can continue to improve maybe he can be a championship caliber QB in the future. That or we’ll be in the QB market again.
Not sure why I’m so pessimistic after a win. Maybe it’s just getting my hopes up that the Chargers could beat the Ravens in LA only for things to inevitably go the Ravens’ way.
Any postseason experience for the younger players on the roster will be a bonus.
That’s definitely true.
Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely want to make the playoffs regardless of how far we get. I just really hope Pickett turns out to be a legit franchise QB for years to come so that we can keep bolstering other positions and be a real contender for a long time.
If Williams stays healthy, the Rams are a different team and could give the Browns headaches…
It’s scary to look at that and think this team could make the playoffs with how poorly they’ve played. I’m sure Tomlin gets no credit for that…

Sh**, well it turns out Canada was, in effect, out there playing QB while he was here

What is strange about the Ravens is the offense, and Lamar in particular, look so good, overwhelming at times, but the score board does not usually reflect that. Watching the game last night, but not paying attention to the score you would think they would have scored 30 instead of 13 until the end of the game. Thats why we always have a chance home or away.
Couple of thoughts to various things in this thread:
1. Week 18 or whatever against the Ravens may NOT matter for the Ravens....and could end up being a bye week for them....might factor in depending on next few weeks.
2. Taking a quick look at the other teams playing with flawed offenses, bad QBs, back-ups, etc across the league....and they just kinda assume their going to lose and everyone just shrugs and moves on. Tomlin just doesn't get enough credit for what he does each year getting his teams to believe they can win and then doing it. Look at the Jets. Excellent defense. Many credible weapons on offense. Just a bad QB and suspect coordinator. Sound familiar? Yet the JETS will be lucky to win another game...
3. I can not believe it. But this will be an 11 win team come playoff time....incredible.
