Holy **** Steelers

Here is the big questions. Will BB be ready and healthy to go against Chargers next week. Will we get out of this funk on O and put up points? For god sake is watt ok
 
Agreed. One would have hoped others on the team could have stepped up their own game to help ease the pressure on Rudy. He didn't play a perfect game but I believe it should have been enough for us to win the game. Our coaches didn't help him out at all either. This was a full-team loss. Besides Harris and the Boz.
100% correct. When they got the sack on the goaline and forced the endline punt. The play calls were just ****** ridiculous.
 
The one thing we agree upon. And If Watt is gonna miss major time they are ****** no matter what.
At least we have that guy we signed as a FA from the Chargers....oh wait.....

Can't disagree with any of that.
 
Rudolph was 17/22 in the first half. That's not terrible. I don't know if the rain was a huge factor, but his second half was ***.
 
You guys are ****** numbnuts. No one is saying that. Ben plays today. They probably win. I'd never say would. But Rudolph played well enough to win and saying he didn't is stupid. Does he play Interior defensive line. Middle linebacker. Did he have two key fumbles moving into win. Did he get called for holding on the Harris TD. Did he air snaps 5 or 6 times. Did he drop a possible pick six before half.

 
50 pass attempts in torrential rain and everyone here is not pointing any fingers at Matt Canada and Mike Tomlin for the friggin play calling? AWFUL MAN! JUST AWFUL! !st & Goal from the 5 yd line and they run 3 consecutive pass plays and settle for a FG. PATHETIC! Not one run to Najee Harris! CANADA SUCKS!
 
My disbelief:
1-Mason attempting nearly 50 passes
2-Majority intended for Ray Ray
Ya wtf? 50 fukn times? And the poor fukn lions they are sooo ******… we left them in the game kept trying to give them the game, and they couldn’t win! just one of most pathetic nfl games to be played in awhile. The weather sukd the poor fans sat there in that horrible fukn weather through over fukn time!!! Show me one little difference between Canada and randy fuknutz… our offense is and has been sooo fukn bad for so fukn long its hard to imagine anything different… so much for blaming everything on Ben!

As pointed out, anyone blaming Mason Rudolph is just not paying attention.
 
For all the talent DJ has he is soft. It just isn't his lack luster ball security or his drops. He is soft and more often than not can't get those yard after receptions. He gets my dumbass of the game award.
And he looked pissy out there. Looked like he was playing out of spite seeing Washington and Ray Ray get targets. And agree - someone needs to make a TOUGH catch.

Just for the record, I’m not blaming Mason. I just don’t think we should’ve asked a QB who didn’t even know he was starting until late Friday/Saturday to throw the ball 50 times. And then for the cherry on top of that for the focus seeming to be to throw it to Ray Ray. Offensively it was just a very poorly planned/executed game plan.
 
Typical Steelers under Tomlin.....not prepared and do not show up against teams they should beat.....even with Mason @ QB. How and the Hell does the Lion's RB's make the Steelers D look like a JV team.... SMFH!!!
 
His stat line was well within Ben Roethlisberger's performance line for the year. They fumbled the game away, couldn't stop the run in the middle third and were badly outcoached. Period
This is funny. We FUMBLED TWICE in OT. Yes, coaches coach about ball security. Players MUST execute that.

You dude, Rudy, play below the line and the TD pass was probably his best highlight in 4 years. He forced the ball to Washington is super tight man to man coverage multiple times. I don't think he completed any of those passes. Ray Ray was getting open so I can see why he threw to him but again, Rudy is Rudy. He had some great escapes but when it matter - he didn't make the throws that had to be made. Slants and comeback routes are not a part of his passing arsenal...

Again, NONE OF US, have seen Haskins play w/ the 1's in a game. Is it time? I'm not sure, but after yesterday, I think it's time to see what the kid from oSU can do.

It's not surprising to me that Rudolph was throwing to McCloud a lot. I would assume that they would have great familiarity with each other as backups.

Maybe you missed the 3 TE sets that Detroit ran most of the 1st half. They schemed TJ out of the game by running that and every one know we have a leaky middle w/o Alualu missing and Tuitt too.

It's not time to panic - we're sitting in 2nd place in the AFCN...

Haskins started the final preseason game and produced nothing in the entire first half. 4 punts and 1 interception on 5 drives. Also had a fumble which he happened to recover himself. With Claypool, Washington, and McCloud playing.
