Steelers at Falcons Game 1 Comments & Complaints

[franco32]

We still don't understand clock management....AT ALL!! 17 yrs of this.

Never will.
Let's take those 2 timeouts to the second half.

Ok, so Tomlin doesn't, but why can't he DELEGATE it to Smith???

[.Kodiak]

I watched the replay again. Watt has almost a full step before the RT even moves.

[Steelperch]

On a positive note, three Tomlin Tds in a half is pretty good and Justin Fields made more good throws downfield in two quarters than Kenny Pickett did in two years.

[Orangesteel]

Steelers don't have a single pass attempt over the middle.

And why Pat Friermuth will do nothing in this offense.

[Jizz Mop]

Let’s see us revert to a Fred Flintstone offense to open 2nd half

Fuck that downfield shit

[CzechSteeler]

Just what the doctor, err, Tomlin, ordered.

I also called it earlier - the only shot downfield came when they had ATL sleeping. They sold it so well they threw a short pass and didn't even call TO before.

This is what Tomlin does. He sucks mediocre teams into a game of attrition and tries to lull the defense to sleep and catch them off-guard. He's WAY beyond conservative on offense.

To high of a chance for an int.

"Revert" is probably more generous than is appropriate.

Cousins has thrown 3 passes that should have been intercepted.

Watt got fucked out of a strip sack.

Fields, so far, hasn't thrown any horrible passes since the first drive.

[Jizz Mop]

Creed Freiermuth 2 catches for 9 yards

$48 million for that seems like a real deal

[Ovie]

Speaking of Bears, Caleb Williams looking about as good as his last 12 successors in Chi-Town. 8/15 for 53 yards.

Watt is amazing. His relentless nature is one of the main reasons the Steelers routinely win games like this.

[.Kodiak]

Offsides. You can admit you were wrong. He's taken at least 3/4 of a step before the RT has even moved (and we all know tackles start moving BEFORE the snap). There's no way in hell Watt isn't offsides on that play.

[Obviously]

Why didn’t they call a t time out


Fuck Tomlin sucks

Because Tomlin

STD's boy has been a terror so far.

The reason you are correct is because edge guys try and time their jump off the center’s head but there can be a lag between that and the ball being snapped. It’s on the ref to maybe call false start if the center starts flinching his head pre-snap.

It was close but yes, it was offside.

[anpsteel]

Fields with 83 yards passing


About 50 on the last play lol

[Jizz Mop]

I fucking hate this team and coaches

Haha

Stolen my thunder. Todd Haley TDs are now Mike Tomlin TDs. Maybe we shoulda called them Tomlin TDs all along.

[K_C_]

Whoa.

Run, run, pass.

Or Run, run, run.

My God.

[.Kodiak]

LMFAO they just said "Justin Fields flashed"

[langer]

You bring in any wideout that’s good and they would demand to be traded after one game.

A place where WRs go to die.

[.Kodiak]

Whoa.

Run, run, pass.

Or Run, run, run.

My God.

First half went exactly to plan, sooooooo.......

[K_C_]

I literally hope Arthur Smith gets ball cancer.

[franco32]

Is Jaylen Warren hurt? Not sure why we keep sitting a weapon like that.

[tbsteel]

FLY FALCONS FLY!

CAWWW

Exactly. And, generally, when you see a guy get that big of a jump it's offsides (without needing a frame-by-frame breakdown). He's just moving way before the RT. Like you said, maybe the head bob should have been flagged, but that's very rare.

[franco32]

Terrible sack by Fields.
