Game Balls, Game Goats & FU's........week 17......vs Chiefs

[Chicoman]

The December implosion is in full swing for our 2024 Pittsburgh Steelers! I said it 2 weeks ago and I'm still sticking to it that our Steelers will not win another game this season!

As for this game the left side of the Steelers O-Line is in need of a rebuild! Dan Moore and Isaac Seomalu should both be replaced! They have gotten progressively worse as the season has gone on. The Steelers should also consider parting ways with Wilson in the offseaon. I said it last week....his ceiling is nowhere what we expected! I don't know what the future holds at QB but it's time to move o from both QBs currently on the roster!

Arthur Smith's play-calling isn't much better than Matt Canada. He has about 30 plays that he calls every frigging game! Makes it way too easy for any Defense we play. You are seeing that now that he's had almost a full season of play calling as the Steelers offensive struggles appear to be getting worse!

Defensively we are the highest paid Defense with one of the worst DC's in NFL. He was god awful in Cincinnati and he's no better now. There's 2ay too much talent on that Defense to perform the way they are performing. It's embarrassing that Teryl Austin can't even put his players in a position to succeed. TJ Watt is a perfect example of that.

Ive never been a fan of his but i have given him more than enough chances. Mike Tomlin has gotta go! He is the one common denominator when it comes to this team and it's failures! I honestly can't believe he got a new contract! For all you Tomlin lovers out there I have a question......what do you feel he has accomplished throughout his coaching career with the Pittsburgh Steelers that any other person who was Head Coach since 2007 couldn't have accomplished?


Game Balls:
Jalen Warren - 112 yds total offense....good effort today.
Minkah Fitzpatrick - for as much **** as he takes he played a good game today.

Game Goats:
Russell Wilson - another pathetic performance! He needs his walking papers!
Dan Moore - He's gotta go! HE SUCKS!
Broderick Jones - another **** game! Kid looks like a bum who will never be a capable NFL tackle!

FU's:
Mike Tomlin - you are the one common denominator on this team when it comes to the teams failures throughout his tenure as Head Coach! He should have been FIRED, not extended!

Amen.

Chico……I can tell you’re not partaking in booze yet. You’ve got that paragraph thing happening again.
Always look forward to your after game post.
The only guy that seemed to do anything for me was Warren.
I’ve got nothing after that. Cheers.

Agree that there weren't too many right spots beyond Warren.

Ahhh....Harris has a 1000 rushing yards for the season again.

FU to the Greed Machine known as the NFL. Games on a Wednesday Christmas. Should never happen.

Ahhh....Harris has a 1000 rushing yards for the season again.

How it that we have the same milestone with three additional games. 1,000 yards in a 16 game season is vastly different from 1,000 yards in a 1 game season. When OJ broke the 2,000 yard mark, weren't they playing twelve games?

Meh... we have 17 games now yet fewer RBs are getting 1000 yard seasons. Harris is in a select few group that have achieved 1000 yards rushing in each of his first four seasons. I think he makes the number 13 now. Impressive....no?

14 games for OJ. Harris getting 1,000 yards IS an accomplishment as he eventually starts to split carries with Warren because Tomlin likes to run the wheels off his RB's. And in today's NFL, you need TWO backs now (unless your name is Derrick Henry or Saquon Barkley). It's not Harris fault he gets hot immediately on nearly every play. Or that we run that atrocious toss sweep to our bruising downhill guy and not our speedy shifty back...this offense is a mess, and it's really no different that the last 5 years.

Which guys used to do years ago in 12 games.

I wonder where he ranks on the ypc stat if you list the 13 backs that have accomplished that? Any of the other backs on that list below 4ypc?

Is this simply he’s been available and a high percentage of a run based offense goes through him, or is he actual better than just an average NFL back? I lean towards the former.

Guessing he’d be towards the bottom or 13th on that list in ypc

Najee Harris had his worst game of the season and the last 3 or so have been terrible. He's too slow period.

but that was a time when the league ran 80% of the time.

but that was a time when the league ran 80% of the time.

Which means the Defenses were ready for it, and still couldn’t stop them

Slow, indecisive, poor vision, doesn’t hit the hole
with the same authority as his backup does.

Resigning him would be a mistake.

He’ll give about 3 highlight reel games a year, usually against the worst run Ds in the league.

But yeah, he’s available so he has that ability.

 

[SteelerSask2]

He is durable, ball secure and tough to bring down but kills the offense with too many two yard runs on a non explosive offense. Behind chains too much.
