58 yard field goal attempt in this weather....uh ok

the early packages for Fields are less than impressive

way too many penalties to start this game off

terrible ******* first half for the offense

holy **** no offense....little defense

then BAM 2 TDs in 6 minutes

nice TD drive

herbig with a huge play

CA3 for 6

refs fuckinig refuse to call DPI in favor of a Steeler

way more passing than you would expect in a snow game

Defense getting turnovers when it matters

refs flat refuse to give Pickens a PI call

**** **** ****

what a terrible time for a ****** ******* punt

******* defense just can't get a stop

**** what a ****** ending

******* **** **** fucj
 
My thoughts… Tomlin is a trash coach that his standard sucks.

How many times can they make such bad decisions to give a game away.

And Joey Porter Jr stinks and needs to sit down
 
Much improved Steeler team from last year. They could get hot in December and get on a roll. At this point, I dont think they would beat Buffalo, KC or the Texans in the playoffs...That's assuming they don't implode down this tough stretch of their schedule.
 
The play on the field was subpar today, real bad. Needed more from Heyward, Watt, and Minkah on defense. What is up with JPJ? Terrible tonight. The offense didn't do enough. Najee was just bad in a game he should've shined. Waitman picked a bad time to shank a punt.

Even with all that, it was completely overshadowed by the awful coaching. They put the players in terrible spots tonight and it ultimately cost the team the game.

He got shoved in the face on the first big completion, and then the TE flat out shoves him on the pick play...not to mention, snow on the ground favors offensive players

They will get smoked IF they even make the playoffs if they can’t even win the games they need to be winning
 
Wouldn't be a Steelers season without an *** kicking from a two win team. Hopefully this a wake up call, but this offense hasn't looked good the last couple weeks.

That standard sucks. This let's **** around until the 4th quarter ****, just sucks.

Dominant championship level teams don't do this stuff. They obviously have a long way to go.
 
Too many coaching blunders in this game.... Going for the long FG, going for it again at midfield, wasting time outs. Playing musical QBs. Accepting the penalty at the end of the game, not letting Chubb score..... If they would have declined the penalty Cle may have went for it or tried to draw us offsides, but it was a do or die down for them. We gave them an extra down

Your last sentence. That’s why I didn’t understand all this Super Bowl contender talk. Offense has looked suspect for the last two weeks, and defense has had difficulties stopping anyone. They play a bend don’t break style, but they bend an awful lot.
 
I thought this might be the proverbial trap game. Defense has to come up with a stop once we got the lead. It's Cleveland FFS. One thing I will say - one way or another, for what we're paying Minkah he needs to start having a bigger impact on games.
 
Miles Garrett played like Miles Garrett, while TJ Watt hasn't looked like himself for awhile now. It's becoming a concern.

Wilson threw the ball well throughout the game, especially considering the conditions, but it didn't translate into much offense in the first half.

Definitely a bad loss. They weren't going 15-2, but need to beat the 2-8 teams when competing for the division and seeding.
 
Folks will look at tonight's stats and disagree. Others will say I'm a tOSU homer. However, it just seems to me like Russ has regressed the last 3 weeks. He's taking the sack too often if the "moon ball" isn't there. And, no, I'm not saying Fields would do better. So, that leaves me in a conundrum.
