Initial Thoughts on Giants Game

[CoolieMan]

Offense rolling at the start....gotta get TDs instead of FGs though

Defense started slow..actually got some helpful flags early though

watching Broderic Jones makes me cry

first half was very disappointing.

Defense better in the second half, back to back sacks by Watt and highsmith

huge punt return TD for CAIII

followed by a big TD Catch for CAIII

Jefferon made a few plays....nice to see WRs not named Pickens step up a bit

Wilson threw some nice deep balls

Watt with the HUGE strip sack fumble recovery after the Wilson fumble

game was too close at the end

Beanie ******* Bishop with the pick to end it

 

[slashsteel]

Way closer than it should have been.

No shocker but a win is a win is a win!

 

[Lunar]

You type good for a drunk man.

 

[diver]

I really like what Arthur Smith is doing, except for running on every first down when they get around the 10 or inside it. I hope they look at that over the bye.

I typed it out while still sober since I knew what was coming

 

[Litos]

Yeap, Bro Jones is a real disappointment.

The O is not quite a well oiled machine

The D goes prevent and chunk plays happen for the opposing team. Every F-ing time

we should of drafted Patrick Paul

 

[CoolieMan]

supe is probably still wanking it to that punt return

Gotta give Wilson some major props. He is making the guys on the offense better. Jefferson and Austin had their best games as Steelers and they look like real receivers to worry a defense instead of afterthoughts. I think Wilson played even better tonight

Offense left 2 touchdowns out there with a penalty on Jones and Jefferson not sitting down on a route in the 1st half.

I don’t know why we can’t stop the run to start a game off

Wilson got hit a lot tonight, can he last the year taking that much punishment?

I think so one was off Moore being on the sideline a play and really it shouldn’t even have been that close. The O is making strides.

Right now I'm way more concerned about our defense than our offense. If Watt and Highsmith get taken away there's not much else there. I'm really not sure what Minkah is doing. He made one play tonight that I recall.

Jones is nothing more than a project that has to play because of necessity.

I'll gladly take 6-2 at this point but lots of areas need improvement.

 

[Djfan]

We played so-so, with some exceptions - enough to win. we played down to a bad team, who played even worse enough to lose.

Just wanted to be the first to say it.

Watt and Highsmith change games. Amazing.

Black and Gold Bleeder is a wuss for not telling us what he thinks he heard at the end of the game. Other than that, he had a solid game in the chat thread.

 

[JMM]

Definitely closer than it should have been.

Weird to be feeling pretty good about the offense but concerned about the D

Will be an interesting test against Washington.

Great to go into the bye week with a win.

 

[Steelr4evr]

I'm still pissed at Jones for wiping out Pickens TD.


Thank god for the bye week! Get some guys back healthy.

I'm really glad Wilson is playing qb. The whole offense has been looking way better.


They really need to work on the red zone offense. A LOT. That part is still lame.

I don't know why they would use Mt. Washington. I'd be tossing it up high for that guy.

6-2. Just 3 wins away from yearly goal..lol.

The Steelers should play all games on Monday night.

 

[Steelersfan84]

Steelers win and both NY teams lose. Great great night!

I am not overly concerned about the D I just think they have concentration lapses.

Not their best game but they still managed to make plays sacks, fumble recoveries, and INT to seal it.

 

[BLITZ]

I think they are 6-2 going into the bye but more importantly going into the cold and the division games. They are set up for success.

 

[troymania]

Wilson throws a nice downfield ball. Pickens is a freak of nature, and CAIII is coming into his own. Najee was good again tonight. Watt and Highsmith are QB terrorists. I thought Jefferson had a nice game tonight blocking and receiving. I love the bootleg action pass to Washington. I wish they would use him in the red zone even if it is a jump ball. I am happy it's the bye week. Hopefully, Frazier and Herbig will be back. One last thought, I loved Marvin Harrison as the best receiver coming out of college but man Malik Nabers is a baller. Can you imagine him and Pickens on the same team? Okay one more last thought, if he keeps this pace up I'm changing my middle name to Beanie.

Yep. Should be interesting to see what happens against a team that's on a roll. At least we're not losing to teams we should beat.

 

[BLITZ]

oh and that was the weirdest 2 point conversion attempt I have ever seen

 

[Steelmann]

Good win. Calvin’s punt return turned the game to us. They’ve played well in the second half pretty well the whole season.
Defense gave up a lot of big plays. Alex Highsmith,I thought had a great game. T.J is one of the great difference makers in the game. He can be fairly quiet because of the double and triple teams. And then Bam!

Russ has a resume of throwing for TD’s. They’ve been in the red zone multiple times in his 2 games and come up
with FG’s. Against the better teams we need TD’s. I feel this will get better as he meshes with the OC and teammates. Always mentioning Boz. Always. Our Center and really the OLine played well. Give Dan Moore credit again……..Mr.Jones. You need this bye week. Time to get it together. Another strong,strong game by Naj and Jaylen. A game we needed before that bye.
Our WR’s looking better and better.

Yankees lost. **** the Yankees.
Cheers.

By weird if you mean it was a boneheaded dumb arse play yep it was weird.

 

[Confluence]

a couple more plays like the last two games and everybody is gonna want Beanie jerseys!

 

[Steelr4evr]

Oh and I still hate that soft zone play 10 yards off crap.

A lot of guys out of place in stopping the run this evening. No reason they can't fix that with the players they have.

 

[Confluence]

Highsmith was great creating pressure, but there were a lot of big Gint runs in the space he created by going so far upfield on every play. Queen or Wilson have to fill that space, especially when Minkah seems lost in space
