Steelers at Lions Game Comments & Bedwetting

[LakecrestSteeler]

There isn’t any way on this planet that you can drive an offensive player backwards 5 yards and it’s not a forward progress call. Had that play been in the middle of the game they blow the whistle and mark him down at the 1, not the 5.

I think it was just a prevent a storming of the field messaging by the refs. Yes what I am about to tell is a crap sandwich, but we have unlimited mayonnaise to lubricate and coat your mouth, tongue, uvula and esophagus! Use as much as you like.

And the Steelers - 22 consecutive non-losing seasons. An NFL record.

That's a lot of winning!

[anpsteel]

This is 3/4 of a solid defense. If they can figure out there are four quarters, not three, they might go far.

Echols going out is not great news. That said, one more W and we can rest guys and let the Canadian Tuxedo take shots from the Ravens.

Not unless the Ravens lose to the Patriots


If the Ravens win out they win w a tied record

[DumlinBumlinStumlin]

Always getting help to ensure NAHLS

[DumlinBumlinStumlin]

Mike Tomlin with 200 wins.

Enjoyed everyone of them myself

You sure did Dino

[stillthere]

Great to see Scottie Miller getting reps over that bum Austin

Has a hamstring injury. It wasn't a coaching decision.

[stillthere]

TUSH PUSH TIME

That's three or four variants from that steel City Shove formation. Getting creative with it.
I swear we are gonna see Rogers get a snap and put it on a tackle eligible one of these days.

The last play of the Superb Owl.

Is it OK if we puncture TJ’s other lung

[955876]

Is that like 90 games where the O doesn't get more than 7 points in the 1st quarter?

yes. Maybe even 91. Might have missed a week. I dunno. But right around there either way.

He will be well rested when returns and make more impact plays for the team.

The Steelers have not scored more than 7 points in the 1st quarter in 67 straight games. Good lord!

And the last time they scored more than 7 points in the first quarter, it was still not the offense, as it was Minka Fitzpatrick with a pick 6, that gave them 7 of their 10 first quarter points.

You have to go back another 27 games, 93 straight games since the Steelers scored more than 7 in the first quarter on their own offensive merit.

Is really that long? 93? I've been keeping track in my sig but missed a few if your math is correct.

Since 1989, they have had only had losing seasons in
1991, 1998, 1999. 2002. Just wish they had more playoff success.

[DumlinBumlinStumlin]

The participation trophy generational Steeler fans, you disgust me. I shit on your doorstep

[steelmann58]

That was such a great catch an still getting up to score

He'll come back and rush the exact same way from the exact same spot every play as usual. He's a diva.

I used to like TJ, and I can live with a guy losing a step. What I can’t stand is a guy who made his money in the league more on hustle than pass rush skill getting paid and seeing that hustle completely go away. That and his whiney selfish attitude turned me off. His salary makes him a net negative to the franchise.

I'm not ready to give up on him yet. I hope he has a better performance next year. As for his contract, maybe they paid him for past performance in addition to the future. Idk.

It's telling that they used to not be able to win when he was out but thus year they have played better with him out. He was trending down last year, and it was foolish to give him a huge extension. His apparent lack of hustle this year makes it even worse.

Maybe he'll get a second wind this year if it looks like the Steelers could be competitive in a playoff game, who knows?

Do I want more hustle? Yeah. But claiming Watt was more about hustle instead of pass rushing skill is abused. Dude doesn’t lead the NFL numerous times in sacks based on hustle primarily. He did combine massive talent with hustle.

[steelmann58]

He needs to really elevate his play down the stretch

He had a quick first step and a lot of effort. Most of his sacks came off beating the tackle with his first step, or good coverage and Watt eventually hunted down the QB. You can’t watch players like Garrett or Von Miller in his prime and say Watt had as many ways to win as they did.

Every time other NFL players are asked about the top pass rushers in the league they name Garrett, Parsons, Crosby and not Watt.

Yeah. He just..hustled his way into 100+ sacks.

Come on, dude. He had a great first step and bend. Elite bend. He had an amazing ability to attack the ball causing a bunch of fumbles. He also of course was great at the watt swat.

Let’s not retcon the dude into some rudy egg and hammer. Watt was truly a HOF talent.

[RealSwiss]

I went to bed in the 3rd quarter. Missed the crazy ending. Am glad the Steelers won. I really thought they were going to get blown out in this game.

It's hard to beleive it's the same team that sucked it up so bad earlier in the year.

[DumlinBumlinStumlin]

He’s not going to be there down the stretch

[langer]

TJ should have that magic shot that causes him to sit the rest of the season.

The chemistry on D is better without him lollygagging and taking up space.

He fell of a cliff.

Do you mean the "dry needle" shot?

Am I making this up in my brain but ever since that stat that Tomlin elects to kick the most out of any coach in the history of the game on 4th down reached national attention, he's gone for it on nearly all 4th and shorts?

He pays attention to what the media and fans are saying about him.

I agree. Or Aaron has been in his ear about the need to be aggressive to make the dance.

Well if we could just hire a PR firm to get a full court press in the media about his abysmal usage of the middle of the field, we'd have a boxer's chance!
