Steelers Offensive Explosion vs Burrowless Bungles Game Comments & Commiseration

[Smashmouth21]

He still drops it but a real QB overcomes. You don’t get to defend Kenny if you aren’t willing to bet your account that he’s even a top 20 QB statistically this year.

Gonna be fun to watch you defend DJ from here on out, especially if they lose this one.

Minus 6 yards running backwards, killed that drive and dropped a TD pass.

Good call.

If only he had a real QB.

You forgot Clank turned his back on the Warren fumble and walked away as the defender ran past him.

He wouldn’t have been able to handle a loose ball. He can’t even catch a perfect spiral in the drizzle.

[Kodiak.]

So not DJ's fault, but Mediocre Mike for not challenging

The play shouldn't have even been called incomplete. if your agenda is anti mike, then. . .

No it shouldn't, but if you're a Tomlin ballwasher he gets a pass for not challenging

[LakecrestSteeler]

Haven't there been times where guys have gone flying diagonally with the ball crossing over the pylon, then the player landing and the ball popping out of grasp? And TD valid?

Why the difference?

There is no difference. They fucked the call up as you probably heard GS say.

Not calling for the challenge there helps Tomlin in 2 ways.

1.) Keeps the game low scoring. A touchdown there increases the risk of an offensive shootout.
2.) We don't risk losing the timeout that we'll need with 10:47 in the 2nd quarter when we accidentally have 12 men on the field.

Yes it's Mike Tomlin's fault for not challenging.

DJ did what he did as supposed to do. Caught the ball and established possession in the end zone.

[K_C_]

Somewhere on the sidelines, Minkah Fitzpatrick is laughing his ass off.

Yes it's Mike Tomlin's fault for not challenging.

DJ did what he did as supposed to do. Caught the ball and established possession in the end zone.

Tell me in your infinite wisdom the probabilities that it would have been overturned.

I'll wait.

3) Tomlin has a big poker game tonight where tineouts are the ante.

You forgot taking more time off the clock running another play.

[Pabst]

Damn. Najee. Damn.

[K_C_]

GO DEEP RIGHT NOW.

CALVIN AUSTIN.

[StillerDownSouth]

Yep, Naj sure sucks

[Steelperch]

Najee playing like his job is on the line.

[Rod & Wire Mill]

Finally, Najee does what he’s supposed to do

They would have said DJ needed to survive the ground.

End. Of. Story.

Ahhh yes that's correct. Basically no benefit to getting that touchdown.

Heard it.

Landing and the ball popping out in my example is the same equivalent to having to catch a ball in the EZ and take 3 steps. Weird.

[breeze]

Pass blocking pretty damn good so far.

Refs should have called the DJ catch a TD and made Cincinnati challenge to overturn. Tomlin should have been notified from booth that it was worth challenging.

[LakecrestSteeler]

OK here comes the Steeler Tsunami of scoring…..NOW!

OK here comes the Steeler Tsunami of scoring……………………..NOW!

[Kodiak.]

Just remember on that failure to challenge....usually, the team that scores more points wins.

[TTP]

120 yards in the 1st quarter? Is it gonna happen? 400 yards?

[StillerDownSouth]

Yes it's Mike Tomlin's fault for not challenging.

DJ did what he did as supposed to do. Caught the ball and established possession in the end zone.

End. Of. Story.

Pretty sure taking 3 steps with possession trumps getting tackled and surviving the ground. Even ole Gene the ref in the booth said upon further review it would have been a TD had Pitt challenged.

Someone will fuck it up.

That's how this team works.

Probably gonna be DJ.

Just wanna see Kenny throw it down the middle to Freiermuth again.

It was blatantly obvious it was a td. Nothing would have mattered because NY said they want a newbie cincy qb to give the steelers a run for their money.

Do I think it was a TD? Absolutely.

Do I think they overturn that because he fumbled hitting the ground?

NO FUCKING WAY.

[franco32]

Why do we still have no one in the booth watching replays? You could tell he took three steps live. DJ is still a bitch for being nonchalant on it, but Tomlin has to challenge 7 points there.

[jmacinwbp]

Clank is gonna clank, but his disengagement on the fumble is not something you can have on the team, much worse than Pickens not celebrating that dickheads first TD in two years. There's no doubt he wants off the team, and doesn't care much if they win or lose. The phunny thing is he's probably to dumb to realize he's the problem, even after Minkah wants to kick his ass.

[Smashmouth21]

Yes, let’s blame Tomlin for not challenging a play of which no one can reasonably predict the outcome. Right.

LMFAO you sound like Trump
