Game Thread - Week 10 vs Lions / No Ben Game Thread -----------

[mcmillenandwife]

And another nice pickup through the air. Playaction.

Nice that there is ZERO pressure on Rudolph. O-line getting it done.

[mcmillenandwife]

Ballage is just awful.

[mcmillenandwife]

Oh, shit. INT. Not sure if that was Ballage stopping his route or a bad throw. My money is on Ballage making the mistake. Dude sucks.

[RaynorShyne]

Shitty, shitty throw

[RaynorShyne]

Oh, Haden saved us on the bad throw. Goff should have nailed that for 6

[mcmillenandwife]

Wow. Lions ran AGAIN on 3rd and 10. WTF???

I'd be losing my mind if the Steelers did this.

[RaynorShyne]

Nice tackle by TJ. Defense shout that down

[mcmillenandwife]

Oh, Haden saved us on the bad throw.   Goff should have nailed that for 6

Yeah, we dodged a bullet. Bad throw. Haden was beaten.

Nice recovery though to break up the pass.

[RaynorShyne]

Oh, we make it through the first quarter. Re=establish the run, and don't get fancy with Washington

[mcmillenandwife]

Interesting observation. Rudolph's cadence at the snap sounds identical to Ben. I was looking away when he snapped the ball and heard his call and did a double-take it sounded so much like Ben.

[mcmillenandwife]

Oh, we make it through the first quarter.  Re=establish the run, and don't get fancy with Washington

Agreed. Rudolph started pretty well, but he's had several off-target passes since, including the INT (although I think that was more Ballage than Rudolph). Back to basics, then try to get 'em on a playaction pass. 

NO. MORE. TURNOVERS.

[mcmillenandwife]

I hate these 3rd down calls. Matt Canada can kiss my ass. 

3rd and 6 and we throw a bull$#!t pass a yard behind the line of scrimmage. Ridiculously lame. Same $#!t every week.

And now they have great field position after the punt return.

[RaynorShyne]

Ugh. We don't normally blow it on Special Teams. Derek Watt and our punter saved that. Look like he out-kicked the coverage

[mcmillenandwife]

Pathetic. Embarrassing.

[RaynorShyne]

OMG - an up-the-gut run.   That hurt.

The tackle made LB Bush dissapear

[RaynorShyne]

Rudolf obviously has chemistry with Washington, but he simply doesn't have the talent to handle the lead. Ray-Ray McCloud and Washington are leading the team in targets. Freirmuth has been open, as well as Diontae Johnson. FB Watt has more touches than our TE

[mcmillenandwife]

OMG - an up-the-gut run.   That hurt.

The tackle made LB Bush dissapear

Bush has been a major disappointment this year.

[RaynorShyne]

I really don't like this bullshit offense

[mcmillenandwife]

Johnson with a false start. Few things piss me off more than a WR false start. There NO REASON for it,

[mcmillenandwife]

I really don't like this bullshit offense

Back to the status quo bull$#!t playcalling.

[mcmillenandwife]

C'mon... we need a first.

[RaynorShyne]

What happened to a run-based trapping offense? Our entire offense is this fake-motion, dunk & dink bullshit. We're as threatening as a soggy twinkie. That last play was all Johnson

[mcmillenandwife]

Nice! That was a big play to Johnson. Well done.

[RaynorShyne]

Rudolph is too..... pretty

[mcmillenandwife]

Agree. I really hate it. 

Don't understand why they blew the whistle on 12 men? No reason. Cost us a good play.

[mcmillenandwife]

Wow, GREAT job by McCloud hanging on to that one. That was a big hit!

[RaynorShyne]

That was McCloud's 6th catch. A career high - with 9:20 to go in the half. What does that tell you?

[mcmillenandwife]

Rudolph doing a good job with the quick snaps on this drive to catch the Lions out of position.

[mcmillenandwife]

That was a nice play for the first. Good blocking, nice run by Najee.

[RaynorShyne]

Looking forward to the later part of the game. Najee is proving to be a beast
