Game Notes

[MTC]

"Wide receivers couldn't catch a cold today, but Ben should have done more!!"

Yep.

I'll say this. On the pass when Hamilton went out of bounds, Ben should of thrown to Rogers for the TD. Other than that, the WR's had a fucky game

 

[Super Dave]

I know our 6'5" 265lb QB should be able to sneak it in from a foot away at the goal line. I don't know who won't do it, but it cost them a TD and the momentum before the half. As for the rest? They kicked our *****.

EXACTLY!

And they KNEW we wouldn't even attempt it......because we NEVER do.

 

[CoolieMan]

how the **** do you not blitz more especially up the middle like Houston did???

 

[wig]

The truth is, although Ben is a leader and all, I don't think you show that kind of trust in Coates. He just hasn't earned it.

 

[FAB802]

Same ole ****.......Same result.

I felt that we had a chance o WIN this game because I didn't think that we would be foolish enough to do the same ole ****.

I over estimated our teams football IQ......Butler....WTF ?

This was the first time I can remember me feeling like we were just the better team. They completely stopped doing what got them there in the first place. The sad thing is nothing will change. Considering where we were two months ago it was a good run. I'd rather get the **** kicked out of me playing aggressive than the chicken **** way we always get killed by them.

 

[Chicoman]

How do you know a run equals a first down, they stuffed our running game with bell

Bell only had five carries before he got hurt.

 

[iuptooter]

Before today, I never heard of Hogan. Was the guy wearing an invisibility cloak? It was as if no one on the D even knew where he was. Too much of a cushion on their receivers. Go Falcons!

 

[Coryea]

It wasnt Ben who didn't want to sneak it in, according to most here he has an inflated ego where he needs to be the hero, so he'd be the first one to sneak it in.
If you run at the goal line with no GB, it has to be quick and up the middle, you can't go horizontal there

 

[MT~Forged]

I'm sure Ben wanted Coates to get his confidence back, but it would have been better to wait till training camp.

 

[Super Dave]

I guess we can't blitz and play man to man behind it because we might get blown out......better play it safe and play the way that gets us blown out lesser.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Our best pass rushers spent 3/4 of the game in coverage?

I wanna know who the hell they were covering. No one that i could see.

 

[south dakota STEEL]

I understand the hate of changing the play and going deep. I would enjoy a run or short pass. just control the game and march down field. No glory, nothing spectacular, just control. Dominate the other team. No need for splash plays and big stats.


but, ben did not cost us. coaching cost us.

 

[Confluence]

how the **** do you not blitz more especially up the middle like Houston did???

Especially after Hargrave rocked Marsha.

Nope, don't try that again...

 

[Coryea]

That's what pissed me off, after we tried the rush 3 and cover crap wasn't working, we had no plan B. We just kept doing it.

 

[Coryea]

Who said Ben changed the play? The ball was right in Coates hands, should've been a huge gain, it was great call, running on that doesn't guarantee a first either

 

[Steeler Pride]

Correct. But he didn't. / he didn't catch it.

Run it, first down.

Do you have a crystal ball? If we ran and got stuffed you would ***** that Ben didn't audible out if it.

 

[Steeler Pride]

The truth is, although Ben is a leader and all, I don't think you show that kind of trust in Coates. He just hasn't earned it.

If he's on the field you throw the ball.

 

[CoolieMan]

If he's on the field you throw the ball.

on the field and open...and he was...there was no ******* excuse for that drop

 

[Coryea]

Haha yeah if Ben doesn't throw it to the open guy he gets bitched about, now he's getting bitched at for throwing to the open guy

 

[OhioSteel]

Our defensive coaching is pathetic. Our best pass rushers spent 3/4 of the game in coverage? We rush 3 DL most of the game? They played the same chicken **** football we always play against them, but nothing will change. Considering where this team was a couple months ago it was a good run, but they are wasting the prime of a great core of players.

Quoted for truth

 

[slashsteel]

Coates showed nothing to give him those reps at WR, that was a bad coaching decision, hands down.

 

[6Rings]

Our young WRs are just not that good. They may flash here and there, but that is it. The defense is straight garbage. They are good enough to play with average teams. They looked like undisciplined stooges out there. Who else shouted TD when NE ran that flee flicker? How about the fake end-around? NE has always had success running these exact same plays on us. Dating back to Cowher. We have done ZERO to close the gap. Not one ******* thing...

 

[scraps]

As if the early morning fire alarm at the Steelers' hotel wasn't shady enough, the fire alarm at Gillette late morning forcing all camera crews and reporters to evacuate reeks of something underhanded. The Evil Empire was up to something...

[mightyguru]

I'm bitterly pissed at the gameplans....and the lack of any adjustments.

I am bitterly pissed that our team just **** the bed....gameplan or none...we just stunk...especially the defense that had looked so solid. I haven't seen ******** that open in a long ******* time. Pitiful.

Yes, the cheating ******** will always be cheating ******** and get every call....but we know we have to play perfect coming in...and we played horribly.

My wife hates this crap....she thinks we played like ******* and that it has turned into the wwe. She's right, but I"M the ******* that dragged her into this ****.

 

[steelermania]

Anyone notice that Hoodie had Brady in the game until the end? Would have served him right if he had been injured on the play he got smacked on.
