Steelers at Dolphins SNF Game Comments

[zeke5123]

He did a lot of good things and some very bad things.

That's a rookie.

Hopefully, he learns from it.

He threw the ball 44 times for 257 yards. That’s an anemic 5.8 YPA. He did all of that while somehow completing 32 passes. He had an almost 75% completion percentage but his YPA was only 5.8. That is unbelievably bad. Check down Charlie.

Two terrible picks at the end of the game.

He had basically two good plays the whole game (maybe three).

Just a really bad night.

The low YPA is more because of the shitty offense the Steelers run than shitty play by the QB. The Q4 picks were brutal though. He had options available on both plays to pick up chunks of yards.

Even within this shitty offense KP’s YPA with that completion percentage was noteworthy bad.

What the fuck was DJ doing going inside?

Kenny and his receivers simply aren't on the same page.

People forget the struggles Ben had with these guys the last few years.

Ben and his receivers rarely seemed to be on the same page and Ben is a future Hall of Famer.

Kenny deserves plenty of blame for tonight's loss but I'll bet when they breakdown film, his receivers fucked up plenty.

I'm done with DJ and Claypool.

That's all I needed to read and I already loved this post.

They are a lot like Kenny Pickett, except they aren't rookies

Both of these two fucks will do something fantastic and then something totally stupid, often on back to back plays.

I love how Collinsworth mentioned how Claypool literally drifted behind a dropping linebacker instead of settling in the hole in the zone where he would have been wide open (and where Kenny threw the ball).

If he is being told to throw shovel passes and dumping it off to Najee, who has zero escapability, then I would get used to the low YPA.

Harris, DJ, Claypool and Canada need to be jettisoned in the off-season!

No we don’t because we got nobody to throw him the ball.

Guess I now know what it’s like to be one of the few Tomlin defenders

Kenny will be fine

He should be WR1. Pickett needs to look for him as the primary target especially late in the game where he'll go get the ball instead of watching the defender catch it and throw his arms up to complain it was a bad pass.

Tomlin is terrible on the offensive side of the football.

Pickett lacks game changing arm strength.

In my Ed McMahon voice “you are correct sir, YES”

It matters.

Tua was leading the league in passing when he went down.

He got away with about 5 picks.

Kenny didn't (and hasn't) gotten away with any.

I don't understand your point here..? Are you saying that since Tua played bad and should have thrown multiple interceptions that it somehow excuses or lessens how bad Kenny was?

You’re thick

Have you considered that those picks not happening to our benefit resulted in Kenny having to get 7 late?

Little easier to win when you’re playing a short field, or stopping Miami from getting points at end of half (Cam drop).

All those dropped picks change what is required as the game progresses.

Normally when you score 10 points a game you're usually forced to score a TD late. That is kind of how football evolved in the latter part of the 20th Century and all the way through our magical year of 2022. C'mon now.

GD it! If only our D would have had like 2 pick sixes we would've won! F those dudes.

[Havoc]

Ben led 5 game winning drives as a rookie. And he was 2 full years younger than Pickett.

We need to start looking at QBs in the draft

By we you mean Steeler Fury?

Bc get used to Kenny. He’s not going anywhere.

We have become the Dallas Cowboys

Didn’t need pick 6s

Needed one or two to be caught

Have you considered that the FG right before half gave the Dolphins a point total of 16?

What did we have on the final drive?

Oh 10 right. So instead of needing 7, and Kenny being put into a tough spot, they’re instead trying for 3 to tie it up?

Edmunds pick?

I mean they change the way the game is played and unfolds.

Look. Fuck Canada. But can’t help but notice DJ in particular was effective last year.

The funniest thing about the folks here, not just you is that people I think expected a rookie, with AWFUL coaching and -an inconsistent (I’m being kind) supporting cast to do “Ben things”.

Again, I’m not saying this to point fingers at anybody but look at a dude like Trevor Lawrence or even Tua. They were AWFUL as rookies. Joe Burrow looked promising before he got his knee shredded but NOBODY thought he was going to explode I his second year like he did.

Pickett’s a rookie who is following a legend. It’s gonna be a rough ride, especially with what he has to work with.

It’s really that simple.

Ben ain’t coming back. Just gotta hope the kid learns from his struggles this year.

His whole draft card was “ceiling isn’t high but most pro ready.” It’s a problem then if he isn’t looking so hot

[tbsteel]

No one is expecting him to look like Big Ben.

I was just hoping for more than like 14 points we score a game and more than 2 passing TDs in a month.

At some point, you gotta make plays. Playcalling is one thing, but if you're a playmaker you'll ultimately find a way to make big plays.

[steelmann58]

He does not have Ben will games yet hopefully that will come

[SteelerDayTrader]

Ben led 5 game winning drives as a rookie. And he was 2 full years younger than Pickett.

And far less experienced as a QB

That’s pretty much it. Modern NFL defenses are really good at blowing up scheme. They’ve seen it all, their coaches have seen it all. Even with the rules heavily favoring passing and scoring points, pro defenses are nasty especially the well coached ones.

But there is opportunity for legit playmakers to make plays in this league. Yeah he’s only started a few games and I’ve been impressed with some of his throws and his moxie but he needs to start saying “fuck everyone” and just start making plays.

You do that you will stick around. You don’t then you start trending towards Trubiskyland.

[SteelerDayTrader]

The 4th down throw to Muth was insane

His last throw, not so much

Attrition football with a rookie QB

The first pick cannot be blamed on Pickett

Fucking Claypool fell down

The throw to Muth was horrible

He was covered and Muth made a great catch to avoid the int

If the Steelers had won Muth and DJ for the okie doke out off bounds move we’re being considered for the highly coveted Dorrie award

[Rod & Wire Mill]

He forced it. Bad throw. No way around it. DJ kept going and it made it an easy play. Not sure if he thought DJ would go back shoulder.

Yeah, I’m gonna stick up for Kenny here. Even last year, DJ and Maple did funky funny things on misses and interceptions. They quit on routes and balls,, never follow through on a play, always looking around for a flag or like, “what…happened”? They really weren’t in sync with Ben either. Mitch…didn’t get that far in school.

Kenny put that the only place it could be caught.

STD you are high as shit that might have been the best throw he’s made as a pro.

Never shoulda been thrown

Muth made a fantastic catch

Let me make an equally intelligent response:

[Orangesteel]

Muth made a fantastic catch

If Ben made that throw you would be searching for his home address to go blow him.

Oh STD would have his electric wheelchair on hyperdrive on the way there no doubt
