Browns at Steelers Game Comments & Shenanigans

A golf cart with hand labor is really the most effective way to start the project?

They threw it short of the sticks on 3rd down 4 times, by my count. 1 of those picked up the 1st with Flop After Catch.

For how many seasons has that been a regular part of their game now? Does it go back to 2019?

And that spot was hot garbage.

Some more bitching after a win:

For the first 27 minutes of the game, they had stopped the Browns' offense cold. 0 points given up so far. Then Cleveland got the ball with around 3 minutes to go before halftime. At that point the Steelers decided that they MUST allow the Browns to gain yards on every play, and have the ball within arm's reach of the end zone by the end of the half. There's no other thing we can do on defense at the end of a half than let them move the ball, because, well, it's not time to stop the other team's offense anymore.

It's lucky Cleveland only got 3 points out of it. But they had shown the ability to hold them to 0 points instead of 3, and decided not to do that because there wasn't much time on the clock. It's bewildering.

I noted at the time the Steelers were giving up dink and dunk to allow the Browns to burn clock. Tomlin would rather burn clock with his defense on the field than have the offense try to score (or even burn clock). Bizarre.

Steelers might be a legit team

Not going to know for two more weeks, but they did what they had to do today.

the steelers will be 5-1 and then their real season begins. we will learn after that whether we do what we do or we do some of what we need to do

Flacco is god-awful and it's a mystery to me how he keeps getting regurgitated ...

These three weeks (bookended by the Bengals' games) will tell whether the 2025 Steelers have staying power.

These five weeks will make or break the 2025 Steelers

Sorry last 6 weeks...forgot to include Week 18 against the Ravens, who I think if all their guys come back will cruise through their latter half of the season.

Need to continue to pack wins. But Indy and GB games are tough but both winnable
