Game Balls, Game Goats & FU's............................vs Titans

[Chicoman]

Week in, week out another ******* HEART ATTACK GAME but I'll take it! To see the Titans in the pre-game out on the field stomping all over the Steelers team logo at the 50 yd line just pissed me off to no end! Glad to see the Steelers not blow a plus 4 Turnover differential and hold on to win this game in the end. A few quick thoughts.....our Steelers Offensive Line is Absolutely ATTROCIOUS! At some point Adrian Klemm needs to start being held responsible for the lack of improvement in both run blocking and pass protection.....after 14 games I still see no improvement from the O-line. Klemm needs to start being held accountable for how Abysmal this O-line truly is. Tom Brady & Emmit Smith would look like **** behind this O-line. Congratulations in order for TJ Watt for setting the Steelers single season sack record with another 1.5 sacks today giving him 17.5 sacks for the season. Defensively Minkah Fitzpatrick is turning into a field general on the back end plus he's doing a very good job in run support out there....something severely lacking from our ILB's Bush & Schobert. Defensively the Steelers Defense stepped up with 4 big turnovers that were the difference in this ballgame. I just would have liked to see the Steelers Offense been able to turn those into 7 points instead of settling for 3. The Steelers didn't do much in the way of offense this game as no players really stood out on the offensive side of the football but they did just enough to come away with the win. Onto Kansas City! I hope everyone can see that Big Ben is not the problem on this offense! Mean Joe Green stated earlier this week that Big Ben can still sling it and is playing at a high level and Mean Joe is 100% correct! I for one hope this is not Ben's last season. One final note congratulations to Dionte Johnson on his first 1,000 receving season.

Per Tomlin's Post Game
Pat Freiermuth - In the Concussion Protocol
Chris Wormley - Groin injury was able to return

Game Balls:
TJ Watt - Another 1.5 sacks today giving him 17.5 on the season and the Steelers All-Time single season sack leader
Minkah Fitzpatrick - This guy is becoming a field general of the Defense he was all over the field today....I think he had 14 tackles. INCREDIBLE!
Arthur Maulet - He makes the most of his playtime....good in run support and he forces turnovers....another forced fumble today
Joe Haden - Say no more the final play of the game....he was able to stick the WR and prevent him from advancing....it was a Game Winning Tackle. Welcome Back Joe Haden. That is how you tackle!
Isiah Loudermilk - I thought he did a very good job today working on the D-line, did a good job shedding his blockers and pressuring the QB and did a nice job making tackles. NICE GAME FOR HIM!
Chris Boswell - Clutch kicking from The Wizard of Boz. I just wish our punter was as good as The Boz!
Ben Roethlisberger - Congratulations moving into 5th All-Time in passing yards past Philip Rivers. Also had a nice QB Sneak for a TD.

Game Goats:
Offensive Line - ******* ATTROCIOUS! I don't know who's to blame but they have shown zero improvement in their ability to run block or pass block the entire season so far!
Adrian Klemm - At some point this moron needs to be held accountable! No improvement from the O-line in run blocking or pass blocking for the entire season. Yo Adrian your in the crosshairs!
Devin Bush - This guy SUCKS! Did anyone see him get knocked backwards on Tannehill's 13 yd scramble to the left side of the fieldin the 4th QTR. He and Bush hit each other and Bush got the worst of it. PATHETIC!
Chase Claypool - Practically invisible on the field today......shake the **** out of your *** and start contributing!
Matt Canada - This guy has gotta ******* go! Bring back Todd Haley! He was the best Steelers OC we've had during Ben's career.
FU's:
Pressley Harvin - This kid SUCKS ***! 2x 27 yd punts, a feeble attempt to tackle the punt returner on the 59 yd return. Any punter off the street will be better than this guy!
The Officiating - Holy **** if you thought it was bad in the first half with the no call on a handoff by Ben to Harris when Ben took 2 forearms to the throat by #90 of the Titans right in front of the officials with no Roughing the QB call. On the final play of the game it was so obvious that Joe Haden stopped the WR from reaching the line of gain....he stuck the WR so hard the guy didn't even get to the 10 yd line and the first down marker was the 9yd line. Seeing the officials spot the ball near the 9 yd line when the WR didn't even reach the 10 yd line was nauseating.....I almost had a Heart Attack watching them place the ball there. Then upon further review they didn't even move the ball back before the 10 yd line where Haden tackled him.....I thought we are going to get completely ****** by the Refs on the worst call of the season when they spotted it at the 9 1/2 yd line. One chain link shy and the Steelers came away with the stop on 4th down on one of the worst ball spots in NFL History. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. **** THAT OFFICIATING CREW! THEY WERE BEYOND AWFUL on that Ball Spot.

I have to give props to Terrell Edmunds today. It’s the first time I’ve actually thought he looked like a starter out there…

 

[Super Dave]

FU Rhomo

 

[SteelerSask2]

Edmunds had one of his best days. Harvin is only on the Steelers cause they don't wanna change holders.

 

[BLITZ]

Schobert had a good game.
Pierre sucks
Run defense is embarrassing

 

[Ike Kelly]

Really, really believing Canada is out thinking himself, and not opposing defenses. I’m not even putting blame on Klemm. When Najee produces on the ground, its when the plays are north/south and down hill. Just moving bodies forward gains yards. These sweeps, pitch outs and wide guard pulls outside of the tackles plays aren’t fooling any DC. Use the run game offense Bettis ran in. That is how Najee will showcases his power and decision making to get additional yards. It also will open up play action, even in Ben’s Pistol formation.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

A big FU to Jim Nantz and the BS "he was down by his shin" garbage.

 

[TDX27]

An FU to the refs and the guy that targeted Muuth. That dude should have been thrown out of the game. He lowered his head, led with it and launched into Muuth. It was a textbook targetting play and the booth should have called it and had him tossed. That's why they are supposed to have the booth review the plays. Hopefully, the Rooney's will say something to the league but I am sure they don't have the balls.

he was hit in the head twice on the same play. looks like he was out on his feet before the second hit

 

[SteelBuckeye]

btw, Gentry has really improved as an all-around TE. Improved blocking moved him past Ebron on the depth chart. But, it seems his hands have improved also.

 

[black and gold apex]

Game ball
McFarland,,,had one of his better return games
Ben for the TD and moving to number five all time passing yards another bring back victory( Even though we stink inside twenty yard line)
Hayden,
Lowdermilk good game
Boz
Goats ,,the offensive line just plane terrible.
Run defense is non excitant
Claypool
Canada and his just pathetic play calls

FU
Canada
Tomlin blowing a kiss at end of game when still being reviewed
Officials no call on hit on Ben, holding all over the place no call, the last play complete lack of knowing where ball should be marked and called a first down before review or measurement

Wait....I thought we won?

 

[Steel G]

Huge FU to Tomlin for still, still, still, STILL having no ******* clue when to call a god damn timeout. And FU to whoever is teaching the WRs and backs to run east/west instead of taking what is obviously there. Christ this offense is it's own worst enemy.

 

[stillwright]

A big FU to Jim Nantz and the BS "he was down by his shin" garbage.

I honestly thought they would over turn it because of the shin after he brought it up. Call on the field stood. As probably should have being the play was simply that close of a call. I think we got one to go our way finally. Seems like it has been a while.

 

[Booted]

FU to Romo...with the defender was pushed into Ben. Bullshit!

[madinsomniac]

Edmunds had one of his best days. Harvin is only on the Steelers cause they don't wanna change holders.

So every punter we bring in develops an issue with shanks… maybe before signing the next one we actually check to see if they can do the directional punting coach bubbles demands…

 

[bkwheat28]

Game ball: Ben postgame! Reporter asked about camera catching him going in to tunnel and sitting on steps by himself. Said he thought he had broken Heinz Field rushing record and needed minute to himself to absorb the moment.

This pretty much covers it all.

 

[SteelerFan448]

Game Balls:
-The superstars on defense. Once again, Watt, Heyward, and Fitzpatrick came up with big plays
-Joe Haden was toast for a big play that was dropped, but had a good day and came up with the biggest tackle of the day.
-Boswell is fantastic week in and out. Another huge game.

Goats:
-Run defense. Worst run defense I've ever watched from the Steelers on a weekly basis.
- Offensive line should just be pinned to the Goat list. This unit stinks and is much worse than last year. Okorafor, last year's worst lineman, looks like one of their best this year. Also, at what point do we get legitimately concerned about Green? He has not been good virtually all season.
-Matt Canada has limited resources, but that doesn't excuse some of the bizarre calls and targets he sends in.

Congratulations to Ben and Watt for their records today.

Yeah. He was pretty savage there

I'm pretty much at the point where I'm expecting the OL to be a weakness as long as Tomlin remains the coach.

Almost literally the only good years of OL play under Tomlin were those with Munchak as OL coach. Every other year, even in the years they went to the Super Bowl, it wasn't good.

 

[Troglodyte]

I give a FU to Tomlin for his clock management at the end of the first half and to Fitzpatrick for his soft and half-assed tackling. He could have prevented the fourth and one conversion on the final Titans drive if he was willing to make a big hit.

 

[6Lombardis]

btw, Gentry has really improved as an all-around TE. Improved blocking moved him past Ebron on the depth chart. But, it seems his hands have improved also.

Is Ebron still on the team?

Almost literally the only good years of OL play under Tomlin were those with Munchak as OL coach. Every other year, even in the years they went to the Super Bowl, it wasn't good.

If we're being technical (i.e. factual/honest), the OL/Rushing rankings fell each year after Munch's first year. So, for all the Munch love, what did he actually accomplish?
