Game Day Thread - Steelers vs. Colts

[Cras108er]

Let's not act like our offense has done anything. They had one good drive, and special teams set them up for the second.

 

[SteelerInLebanon]

not nearly enough

Nope but it is a start. Baby steps here.

 

[bermudasteel]

Does that explain a receiver catching a ball at the 7 yard line with no defender in the screen

Tomlin owns ALL of this

I challenge you to go back an watch that play. 38 was held and couldn't get back to make the play because of the hold.

So, recap.

Both starting ILB's are out on IR.

Both starting safeties are out in this game.

If we win this game - it will be a phucking miracle.

Well, it’s on Mitch to lead this team now or we’re cooked.
He’s got to play smart and not throw it up for grabs.

Tomlin apologist trash

Wow someone needs a nap and a pacifier.

 

[Gildong Sack]

I think you are one of the best posters here, and I was a douche to you once, but the coaching staff understands so little about winning or game management, from top to bottom, the **** is frightening. All safeties here, all out, Santa playing safety, God playing safety, our coaches have NO idea.

"Obviously God and Santa have the same pedigree: They are both old guys with a beard, they both have a list that they check for the naughty/nice component...if you will, they both give you a fire related component if you are bad. One gives you coal, and the other burns your azz forever in possibly a coal fed fire. Either way we won't urinate down our leg come Christmas time....and that's because we don't live in our fears....obviously."

How is Kazee going to pull up mid dive?
You watched too much matrix movies huh?

You can roll or adjust your body slightly. Launching yourself at a guy is not a proper tackling technique. I dont think Kazee had intent to injure and it is an instinctual thing to go low when you see a guy going down, but its just not something you can do.

 

[polythemus]

Did anyone recover the ball?

 

[Misstha70’s]

Nice fumble…. Positive enough?!?!?!

 

[Lambert58]

And the collapse continues….

 

[Ironcitysteelers]

Is the head not down?

 

[Ironcitysteelers]

Nice fumble…. Positive enough?!?!?!

You need to piss off.

 

[SteelerFan448]

The replay should already be over, no need for a commercial.

 

[SteelerInLebanon]

Oh come on.

 

[MemphisSteelerFan]

I wish they would put Mason in, so everyone would shut up about him.

It's not like this is a superbowl team. Put everyone in. Get creative. Hell send the house now and then on a blitz. You're getting cut up anyway in zone.

Hey, sounds like a plan. The thing about Mason for me is the unknown. Who knows how he would play. Can’t base anything on a couple years ago. But I do know that Trubisky is terrible . That is established. I just want to see if Mason could possibly provide a spark. I realize it’s a 50/50 shot, but with no safeties and terrible linebackers, the offense needs a spark from someone cause all we got is 13 pts.

Najee is not an nfl starter. Two years of this fool is enough

Why don’t you just draft Tomlin an extension and raise while you’re at it

Beat at 7-6 team, no excuses, Jesus

You’re nutts.

 

[Cras108er]

He’s got to play smart and not throw it up for grabs.

And Najee can't fumble.

He did turn his body completely to avoid hitting with his head. He isn’t a contortionist.

 

[Punxsutawney]

Not sure any advancement in helmet technology is going to help, as the biggest issue is the whiplash movement of the head, rather than the actual impact itself. I can't see how any changes to helmets can do much about the whiplash effect.

It is just physics at the end of the day.

The NFL would pay a king's ransom to anyone who could figure it out, but any solution would have to be cost effective.

Paying 100's of thousands of dollars per helmet is not something NFL owners will ever be interested in.

 

[bermudasteel]

Is the head not down?

I thought it was moving before the crown of the helmet touches. Second week I've seen us get hit by a knee...

Wtf? You ever tried adjusting your body mid dive full speed? Physics will agree - impossible
