Steelers at Broncos Game Comments and Lamentations

[drmalba]

I'll take 2-0

For sure. A win is a win. 1st place in the North.

Baltimore losing to the Raiders at home had to be the upset of the day. Cincy could have won their game, but they suddenly remembered they are the Bungles (or the refs remembered they were paying the Chiefs, take your pick). Both of these teams are playing much better football than our team right now, who beat a question mark of a team in Atlanta and barely scraped by a team they should have beaten the brakes off of today. The division lead is right now nothing more than a quirk of scheduling that is giving Tomlin time to somehow pull this thing together. He's got to figure out this OL, they are giving us all of the growing pains they can possibly generate.

[K_C_]

One touchdown in 8 quarters of football.

ONE TOUCHDOWN

UM....2-0.

I sure wish we scored more TD's like Lamar and Burrow.

What is your point here exactly?

That the offense can't be criticized because of 2-0?

At this point, what is your solution?

Mine? Broderick Jones doesn't see another snap all year unless there's an injury.

Now you tell me how you fix things, you know, realistically?

[swissvale72]

2-0. Two road wins. I'll take it

[K_C_]

I will drink some beer and celebrate.

But I’m FUCKING DONE with this offense

The Broderick Jones series absolutely re-shaped this game.

We were up and driving to absolutely ass rape Denver.

Fields with the throw of the day in the NFL.

Everything changed after that series.

Play calling, penalties, Fields' demeanor.

Fuck Broderick Jones.

KC this is all normal shit the last 5 years. Why deflect blame from the QB. It doesn’t matter. Nothing will move towards excellence until a new head coach.

If not penalties, then an injury, then drops, then poor route running, then poor QB play…it is just chuck-a-luck for the excuse as to why the offense always underwhelms!

The offense was rolling until the Broderick Jones series.

Everything literally changed after that.

The play calling became much more predictable. The penalties on the o-line mounted (and nullified a few of Fields' best plays) and Fields 100% went into turtle mode....I believe because he was told to.

Hey, if Russell Wilson will fix this shit, start him next week.

I think Wilson might last a half behind this o-line.

[stillthere]

2-0. Two road wins. I'll take it

Getting two on the road is nice.

[Stlcrtn1974]

Only hope is that the offense gets better weekly. Fields played well until that penality after a great completion, that should not of sent him into a tailspin though. We'll see how Wilson does next week, definitely going to have to sore more then 1 td to win against the Chargers

KC with his moving goalposts. At least you're consistent.

Move away from bellcow Najee, as year four of 3 yards and a cloud of dust clearly isn't working.

Warren is the lead back with 75% of the workload and featuring him a lot more in the passing game as well.

Bench Van Jefferson. He was brought here because he's a was supposedly a good blocker (what a LOL reason to sign a WR) but he's terrible in that regard and really at everything. Bring in some street FAs and tryouts if you have to. Just like punters, there are WRs out there in the world who can play, they just need a shot.

Ownership says that it's enough and tells Tomlin he won't have any roll in the offensive game plan or game day calls. Arthur Smith gets full control of the reins.

That's a start.

[Texas Black & Gold]

I agree. But winning on the road is still pretty good when you consider all the new pieces on offense. Next week will be a tougher challenge even at home.

These same things will happen with Wilson too. This is as good as the offense gets.

Nobody pushing Tomlin to do more. Nobody pushing for excellence on the offense. Tomlin is the dreaded one trick pony in coaching. All he has is defense and people motivation. He thinks he has E=MC squared discovered and nobody has read his submissions to scientific journals yet.

Mike Tomlin is a mild version of Terrence Howard. We need the football equivalent of Neil Degrasse Tyson to out Tomlin.

[Dan Smith--BYU]

Porter in reality had only one bad play and was the victim of two phantom calls

We do have an excellent defense bailing us out, but even that might not be enough against Harbaugh the elder next week.

Okay, none of those things will happen, at least not yet.

Roman Wilson may send Jefferson to the bench. That might be possible later in the year but it isn't happening now. Tomlin values experience.

Najee is going nowhere and I don't believe he should. Behind this fucking TERRIBLE o-line, it's going to be difficult for anybody to run. It's going to (as usual) take the o-line until around week 10 to get it together. Once that happens both backs will tear shit up....if they aren't killed first.

When the o-line aren't missing blocks, they're holding. Why it takes them half a season to get their shit together, I don't know but you can set your watch by it.

I imagine Russell Wilson will start next week and I have no problem with that, although I think Fields was in for a big day if Broderick Jones stays on the bench.

[bradshaw2ben]

WE NEED AN OFFENSIVE LINE

Fixed it for you.

Why do we have to decide? They need both. And throw in an OC, OL coach, and a HC while you're at it.

[Jizz Mop]

Seumalo back at some point - good thing

Frazier performing well in his first two starts - good thing

Fautanu got his first action - good thing

Once we get everyone healthy and develop some chemistry up front we could have a mediocre offense

Right now it’s putrid

The 2nd half was pathetic, and in typical Tomlin led games w leads, we tried to shit the bed

[bradshaw2ben]

We scored 1 TD on two weeks…. I just don’t know how that’s even possible with all of the rules favoring offense now.

Perhaps you haven't seen our combo of HC-OC-QB-skill players-OL?

[bradshaw2ben]

Sean Payton is trying to out dumbfuck Mike Tomlin.

He succeeded.

He did

Tomlin rarely gets outdumbfucked

[zeke5123]

Porter in reality had only one bad play and was the victim of two phantom calls

The guy slipped when JPJ had a hand on him. I can understand why the ref botched that call even if a bad call. No clue the hands to the face call. Similarly, no clue how they called Dan Moore Jr

Rolling? Do you walk back 6 Time of Possession Trophies on your way to work every day?

[Orangesteel]

This offense has never “rolled”.

At least not in the last 4 years.

“Rolled” hahahahahahaha

The first half the o line cleared a bunch of holes. In the second half…not as much but part of that was Denver attacked the LOS. Hated the call on Moore Jr

I thought that was a good call. Moore grabbed his near the chest plate and turned the defender 90 degrees. That's gonna get called just about every time; turning the player away from where he is going is the real notable part of that.

They were rolling…
In Mike Tomlin football world.

[jmacinwbp]

I'll take two road wins to start off the season with your second string QB all day, every day. I think they will open the offense up more with RWilson, or even if Fields continues to start. Even though it wasn't modern high octane O, they did open things up more for Fields this week compared to last @atl. There was a nice deep pass play on first down, and holy shit, they even threw the ball to Washington in the redzone. Maybe a little more of that might be nice.

KC is way off on the Oline being shit. I watched the condensed game of Den vs Seattle on Saturday morning, and Denver D was crushing Seattle's front practically the entire game, Geno saw serious pressure most of that game. I was really worried Fields would get sacked 4-5 times, and would always be under pressure. As it turned out it seemed that Fields had sufficient time on most pass plays, and both Naj & Warren were above 4 yds/carry, so there were some run lanes created.

There is no comparison to where the Oline is this year vs same time last year. That line for most of the first half of the 23 season was a real fucking shit show, no room for any Rb to run, both constantly being hit behind the LOS, and Quittin Pickett always running away from pressure up the middle; not so much this year.

I mean replacing Cole with Frazier alone makes it vastly improved. And all this without what some say is their best player (at least until the youngins get more experience). I'm actually happy with how things have gone so far, and think there is reason to think that barring crazy injuries, there is a lot to look forward to this season.

I think the story of this year will be how great it was to draft Frazier and how George Pickens has elevated into top 5 WR in the league, despite being saddled with being in a shitty offense.

Agreed, I still can't believe how lucky it was for him to drop right into their lap without having to move up. If he continues to progress, and muth doesn't vagina up with his usual multi game injuries, maybe we can quit hearing about missing on CH in 2021.

[Greeksteel]

One touchdown in 8 quarters of football.

ONE TOUCHDOWN

lol We are on pace for 8 Tds on the season.

What's the pace for saved time outs?

[Steelperch]

2 down, 7 more to go. You guys are way too negative.
