Initial Thoughts on Colts Game

[CoolieMan]

That ******* sucked

Supid penalties, Stupid turnovers, not much pressure or tackling or coverage on defense

definitely Najee's worst rushing game probably in his lifetime

Fields looked bad in the first half, but had some good drives in the second. seemed better at deciding when to just let his feet do the work 3 TD drives thamn the **** up on the snap on the last drive...damn

the D made it easy on richardson and flacco...letting them play catch with wide open receviers the whole game

this loss is on the D

3-1 is great, but damn

 

[CoolieMan]

worst thing is the trolls will be out big time

**** them all

 

[t-man]

That horseshit defense we let Flacco throw all over like he was ******* Montana. On the plus side, no quit in this team. On to next week.

Joe

Not trying to play tge blame Tomlin card, but we are tied at the end if he just punts at the 40 in the first ******* quarter

Bad coaching nearly from start to finish.

Defense laid an egg today. Allowed Joe Flacco to throw for 2 TDs and couldn't get a big stop in the second half.

Fields showed a lot more in the second half after a rough first by the offense. Basically no help from the OL or running game once Patterson went out. Pickens with a critical fumble that cost the team points and a dropped TD.

A clean game by the Steelers, they win despite the 17-0 deficit. Coaching and injuries mounted along with the lack of execution. They could've won, but earned a loss with the sloppiness.

 

[Litos]

Shot our own feet. Completely self inflicted loss in a manageable game

 

[GMC]

The "greatest defense" in team history shouldn't get dominated by Flacco. Fields looked decent down the stretch, but taking two sacks while in field goal range loomed large in the end.

 

[Punxsutawney]

The botched snap was unfortunate, as Fields was impressing in the fourth quarter up to that point. This was his second strong statistical performance in a row with this one actually translating into more than 20 points, and there could have been more if not for the Pickens fumble.

Despite some issues, he's showing more potential than I thought he would, to be honest.

They obviously were not going 17-0 this season, but the way they lost while allowing Richardson and Flacco to look like Peyton Manning is a concern. The Steelers will probably rank well in the bottom half of the league in pass defense after today. They cannot seem to stop anyone unless TJ Watt plays out of his mind. Fortunately, he doesn't have many quiet games like he had today.

 

[ExUSAF]

Wise decision not to pick up Najee's option. Patterson was much better, as is Jaylen when he returns.

 

[Litos]

Patterson was finding lanes that didn't seem to be there

Yep a complete team loss for me. Every phase of the team minus special teams did dumb ****.

I will say I liked the fight to at least get them in range but for various reasons… I agree the Steelers were capable of winning this game.

 

[steelcan58]

Did Daniel come back? If he remained out that would explain Najee not having a great game. A lot of moving parts in the OL.

Encouraged that the team hung in there and fought back - even the defense getting the 3 and out at the end. Really wondering what happened the rest of the game though. I think the offense showed today that the defense doesn't have to be lights out to win games, but today was unacceptable. Few teams win when the other team basically scores at will. Before the season 2-2 would have been acceptable, 3-1 is great. Need another W at home next week.

Cant really say that. He gambled that if not gotten, the Def would step up. They didn't

 

[TDX27]

The D was horrible. The OL was horrible - especially in the first half. Dumb play calls at times. Dumb challenges and non-challenges once again. Overall, Fields played very well and should remain the starter. I don't think Wilson could have even gotten us back in the game like Fields did. He had the fumble but they got nothing on it and then he carried the team on his back for 2 more TD's in the 4th. That bad snap was also a killer. It put them way behind the sticks. There was a holding/PI non-call on Pickens that even the guy in the booth commented on. That would have given us a legit chance to at least tie the game, if not win it outright.

Oh, and losing Patterson was a killer. He was really helping with the run game. Tomlin didn't even try the guy they brought up from the practice squad to give Najee a breather.

 

[BLITZ]

Initial thoughts are I think the fans that turned on this team in the 2nd half sucks.

Adamski reported Daniels was in a walking booth and on crutches. What was Najee's excuse before the injury because Patterson was shredding that same defense?

Defense sucked a pecker today

Even with Daniel our OL is very young and haven't had a lot of snaps together. And there isn't going to be a lot of running lanes when the opposition loads the box.

Not excuses - just saying

 

[bkwheat28]

Patterson is a beast.
Najee is just not getting it done.
Jones is really not impressive.
Fields looks like he could be our guy.
Defense was a no show.
Coaches seem to be making adjustments they havnt in the past that drove us all so crazy.
I like Austin. He’s making plays.
Should be 4-0 but no one thought we’d be 3-1 so I’ll take it.

Same if Porter catches the gimme interception in the end zone.

Lots of what ifs today..

 

[steel dino]

Also ... 84 runs with vision and anticipation of a very capable NFL running back ..
Exactly why 22 didn't get his fifth year option deal.
Good decision by the organization.

We did take the knee last week from the one....we easily could have jad 7 more points.

 

[Chicoman]

Flacco's performance today should solidify his HoF BUST in Canton! Scuplt it NOW!
