WOW - we need to toughen the !@#!@# up
RE: Game Thread - Week 10 vs Lions / No Ben Game Thread ----------- - mcmillenandwife - 11-15-2021
Pretty much as expected. Letting an awful 0-8 team hang with us (and in fact, they have frequently looked like the better team since our opening drive).
I think it would've been this way even if Ben had played. This is what we do. We had a good drive to start, then the usual bull$#!t play-calling. Matt Canada is just terrible. TERRIBLE. The O-line has made a few mistakes, but overall they've been solid. Rudolph has been okay... pretty strong early, very much a backup since. A little off-target, but it's more about $#!tty plays than anything he is or isn't doing.
Najee looks fantastic. Again. By far our best offensive player.
Somebody needs to smack the playbook out of Matt Canada's hands.
I'm dumbfounded by how poorly the defense played in the 2nd quarter. WTF?

I mean, short passes.. are these finess plays? Wtf? On 3rd and 10 we throw the ball 5 yards and expect to gain the rest... I don't get it?

It's college mentality IMO. In college, teams can't preapre like the NFL. Yu can fool people with a bunch of nonsense motion. You can find major mismatches in talent. But the NFL is different. THese guys can ALL play. And preparation is maxed out for every team. These are professionals with no restrictions on how much time they can spend in film study.
Canada has no imagination in the flow of the game. He doesn't adjust, he scripts. And when things don't go as planned, he lacks the creativity to adapt his strategy.
My two cents, based on no real knowledge. LOL
RE: Game Thread - Week 10 vs Lions / No Ben Game Thread ----------- - mcmillenandwife - 11-15-2021
More $#!tty special teams. C'mon! Thanks goodness for their hold.
RE: Game Thread - Week 10 vs Lions / No Ben Game Thread ----------- - mcmillenandwife - 11-15-2021
Holy $#!t. 15 yard run on 1st down.
And now Minkah is down.
RE: Game Thread - Week 10 vs Lions / No Ben Game Thread ----------- - mcmillenandwife - 11-15-2021
Playing like a team who isn't worthy of first place, even by accident, right now.
Frustrating.
So much for the "Rudolph Rally" I predicted. Team isn't rallying around him at all.
Defense needs to wake up.
RE: Game Thread - Week 10 vs Lions / No Ben Game Thread ----------- - mcmillenandwife - 11-15-2021
Big play here. 3rd down.
RE: Game Thread - Week 10 vs Lions / No Ben Game Thread ----------- - mcmillenandwife - 11-15-2021
Are you f-ing KIDDING me??? 3rd and 9, and they run it for 15???
RE: Game Thread - Week 10 vs Lions / No Ben Game Thread ----------- - mcmillenandwife - 11-15-2021
14 yard run.
ARE. YOU. KIDDING. ME??????
RE: Game Thread - Week 10 vs Lions / No Ben Game Thread ----------- - Cali-Steeler - 11-15-2021
This is horrible
RE: Game Thread - Week 10 vs Lions / No Ben Game Thread ----------- - RaynorShyne - 11-15-2021
They're going to drive it down. Not a goo.......oh no
RE: Game Thread - Week 10 vs Lions / No Ben Game Thread ----------- - mcmillenandwife - 11-15-2021
What the FUCK did I just witness???
RE: Game Thread - Week 10 vs Lions / No Ben Game Thread ----------- - Cali-Steeler - 11-15-2021
Trap game is becoming real...
RE: Game Thread - Week 10 vs Lions / No Ben Game Thread ----------- - RaynorShyne - 11-15-2021
Announcer just called it. S.H.I.T.T.Y LB play
RE: Game Thread - Week 10 vs Lions / No Ben Game Thread ----------- - RaynorShyne - 11-15-2021
Tomlin looks baffled. Is the standard not the standard?
RE: Game Thread - Week 10 vs Lions / No Ben Game Thread ----------- - bbbooger - 11-15-2021
Another whiff by Bush
RE: Game Thread - Week 10 vs Lions / No Ben Game Thread ----------- - mcmillenandwife - 11-15-2021
42 yards. HORRIBLE linebacker play by Bush and Schobert. And Highsmith.
TJ Watt a non-factor. Nobody is making tackles. It looks like practice when you don't run or hit at full speed.
F-ing TERRIBLE!!!
If I was the coach, I'd be making the team run laps for a shitty practice... during the game.
RE: Game Thread - Week 10 vs Lions / No Ben Game Thread ----------- - RaynorShyne - 11-15-2021
Shitty weather - cold, no passing: It's a toughness game, and the 0-8 Lions are SPANKING our finessy ass
RE: Game Thread - Week 10 vs Lions / No Ben Game Thread ----------- - mcmillenandwife - 11-15-2021
Good job by Rudolph to do something other than the idiotic, lame playcall.
RE: Game Thread - Week 10 vs Lions / No Ben Game Thread ----------- - RaynorShyne - 11-15-2021
That was the ugliest positive play
RE: Game Thread - Week 10 vs Lions / No Ben Game Thread ----------- - RaynorShyne - 11-15-2021
21 rushes by Detroit
That's #13 by the Steelers
RE: Game Thread - Week 10 vs Lions / No Ben Game Thread ----------- - mcmillenandwife - 11-15-2021
THank you for the cheap 15, Detroit.
RE: Game Thread - Week 10 vs Lions / No Ben Game Thread ----------- - mcmillenandwife - 11-15-2021
Nice drop by Johnson.
RE: Game Thread - Week 10 vs Lions / No Ben Game Thread ----------- - RaynorShyne - 11-15-2021
RUN.
THE.
FOOTBALL.
RE: Game Thread - Week 10 vs Lions / No Ben Game Thread ----------- - mcmillenandwife - 11-15-2021
That was all Najee.
RE: Game Thread - Week 10 vs Lions / No Ben Game Thread ----------- - mcmillenandwife - 11-15-2021
Good job, Najee. Big first down.
RE: Game Thread - Week 10 vs Lions / No Ben Game Thread ----------- - mcmillenandwife - 11-15-2021
Wow, was that a TERRIBLE throw into the end zone. Stupid decision by Rudolph. Dodged a bullet that it wasn't picked.
RE: Game Thread - Week 10 vs Lions / No Ben Game Thread ----------- - RaynorShyne - 11-15-2021
Johnson is a supremely physically talented, - stupid - wide receiver.
Claypool has potential, and we need JuJu back - I wouldn't miss the rest
RE: Game Thread - Week 10 vs Lions / No Ben Game Thread ----------- - mcmillenandwife - 11-15-2021
Rudolph needs to be smart and not take on defenders head on. Took a needless hit. Glad for the effort to get a first down, though.
