Steelers vs Browns Game Comments & Arguments for the Duality of Apollo & Dionysus

[ToddHaleysNineIron]

Yes it was.

He grabbed the shoulder pads and pulled him back.

It was a classic horse collar tackle.

Watch the replay dude from the sideline angle. His hand never got under his pads

A horse collar tackle is either grabbing under the pads OR grabbing the collar.

He grabbed the collar.

didn’t know the collar started at the middle of the back

[Professor Half Wit]

I just wanted one more week of Steeler football.

It was the same last year in KC. The Steelers would’ve got slaughtered next week like last year but at least it would be one more week.

NHALS FOREVER

With Ben gone, I'm ok with it this year. Last year I didn't want it to end.

[jeemie]

It was not a phantom horse collar.

It was a horse collar.

Uh, no it wasnt

It was a total bullshit calll....wasnt near his collar...all jersey

When you get a chance, look at the replay…he grabbed the collar. I knew it was going to be flagged the instant I saw it.

Receiver even went down with the leg injury common to horse collars.

We didn’t get jobbed.

We had a chance to beat the Dolphins. 16-10 at the half.

Then the Steelers had that infamous second half.

Three and out
Five and out
Five and out
Four and out
Three and out
Drove to Miami 30 then interception
Drove to Miami 25 then interception

Ball game…and no playoffs

And this was Tua’s first game back from almost dying.

The collar of what? He had nothing but jersey in his hand. If that is enough now under the rule then that’s weird but whatever. How are you supposed to tackle dudes these days is beyond me

[steelcountry]

It doesn’t have to be inside the pads. For the last couple seasons the rule has been anywhere on the back around the nameplate.

If this is true then I am totally out of the loop with the rule because his hand did not go inside or really anywhere near the collar of the pads.

I am sorry to say you are out of the loop. It definitely has been enforced that way for a while now.

My season ending thought:



Please please, fucking please, if you won’t fire Tomlin, at least fire Canada

You and me both brother.

Yup

[breeze]

Disappointing but our guys are leaving us with a lot of positives here. 7-2 in the 2nd half of the season shows a lot of grit. It’s clear where coaches and front office need to direct attention. KP will come back better. Solid RB tandem. Good TE and WR unit. The young guys saw enough to buy into the Steeler standard and the culture that MT has built.

Red zone play still stinks. The play calling still leaves a lot of room for improvement (though. It’s been better in the last few weeks). The run defense improved.

If Canada is not fired, this team has no future.

[bradshaw2ben]

We could have stolen one game in the playoffs, maybe 2!

If they literally had a gun, maybe.

[langer]

The ending to this season is better than going to the playoffs.

I mean Coach did a marvelous job!!!

[jeemie]

If anyone thought we could have stolen a game from Buffalo, they are nuts.

[bradshaw2ben]

Dickbrain Cowboy Mitch! Thanks for the 3 INTs!

Mitch saved them from humiliation next week and an even worse draft slot. Probably.

After that offensive explosion we just witnessed? No way. Canada has shown that he can maintain NHALS, which is the most important goal for the Steelers. Canada is probably dirt cheap too, as far as coordinators go. He stays.

[955876]

Congratulations to the Steelers for playing hard all season long.

It’s the new “standard” that’s replaced a playoff victory.

[drmalba]

We’ll be back again next year complaining about the same things. Lather rinse repeat

Go to the game that matters…Miami with a concussed Tua returning.

16-10 at the half. Then we had Kenny’s infamous second half:

3 and out PUNT
5 and out PUNT
5 and out PUNT
4 and out PUNT
3 and out PUNT
Drive to Miami 20 INTERCEPTION
Drive to Miami 25 INTERCEPTION

Because your stupid optimism is annoying as fuck

Constant Tomlin bashing especially when it is not deserved is annoying.

Tomlin could hit you over the head with a hammer, blow your life savings on shitty crypto investments and take a shit on your living room floor and you would still applaud him for his creativity.

Your nut-washing knows no bounds.

Well, your constant tantrums aren't exactly a joy to read so maybe you don't need to be attacking another poster.

I got to say you are funny.

The collar does not begin half way up the back... the hand has to be behind the neck area, around the pads. I don't think it was close.

Regardless... never put yourself in position for the league old man officials to determine who goes to the playoffs... they are old and they are told what to do near the end of games.

Matt Canada should be fired... missing the playoffs is not an options - set a bar... there was enough talent, you failed as a coach and playcaller. Tomlin should be on a hot seat.... missing by a winnable game is enough, you should be dripping with sweat.

[Texas Black & Gold]

No. I think everyone here wants the Steelers to win a SB every year. But most realize that things don't always work out. And there are 31 other teams wanting to do the same thing.

Anyway. They will be back next season.

Tomlin's seat stayed ice cold after 2018, which was a far, far worse outcome than this year. No way Tomlin is on the hot seat after this season. I bet Ownership considers this to have been a great season.

No way does anyone consider this a “great” season


Not unless your measuring stick is the Lions

[ToddHaleysNineIron]

It's amazing watching the anti-pickett people stick to their guns...

as if we didn't watch what we watched... along with pretty much every other person that watches the NFL.


Here is something you might not have considered.. you... right now.. are in a very small minority.

Keep being there if you want, but people who watch and watch closely because their actual real name reputation depend on it (not some meaningless mock draft nickname), disagree 100% with your assessment, and almost all if not all of them agreed with you a few months ago,

You should ask yourselves.. what is it you area actually doing here.

Why not? The Steelers had a young team that constantly improved and gelled throughout the year. They overcame adversity and turned a 2-6 start into a winning record. KP showed that he has the skills to develop int a good starting QB. The defense played tough, especially when DPOY Watt was healthy. The offense is starting to click, capping off the year with a huge 28 point win against a hated rival- that's a great season! Sure, the Steelers missed the playoffs, but the other teams are paid to play too. Tomlin showed why he is a HOF Head Coach with his composure down the stretch. This team is on the upswing. Why disrupt KP's development by getting rid of his OC?

Getting rid of Canada will not disrupt Kenny’s development.

Keeping Canada will do so.

[Orangesteel]

Yes.

[W&M_Steeler]

Yes.

I agree, but I wonder if Ownership and Tomlin see it that way? I guess we'll find out.

[LakecrestSteeler]

Allen has a growing red zone monkey on his back…you never know. Mac Jones, one could argue, did some damage if not for the ST gaffes.
