Initial Thoughts on raven Game

[CoolieMan]

Tough fought first half

Queens penaty of the sack by Loudernilk gave the rats a break and the capitalized.

OL is getting roughed up on runs and passing game.

two first half turnovers of the rats sid of the field really should have ended in more than fieldgoals

Boz is AWESOME

not passing over the middle or using your big *** TEs in the redzone ******* sucks

it would be nice if Pickens could get a DPI call

**** the refs

Boz is still ******* awesome

going out on a limb to say Boz gets a game ball from Chico

defense played one hell of a game

Queen and Wilson both had big turnovers

they contained Jackson......again

should have been throwingover the middle to the TE all day

washington can not just stand there and watch the ball fly over his head in the endzone

Fields almost killed it by slidding early

Najee picks u p the big first down

Love Victory Formation

my heart is going about 300bpm

Damn these games are FUN (when the Steelers pull them out)

It was not pretty, but a win is a win.

 

[steelcan58]

Fields needs to be used inside the 10 yard line in the red zone.

We should have won going away. The offense is still a work in progress. I think we can say the Steelers have to be taken seriously.

 

[CoolieMan]

It was not pretty, but a win is a win.

very rarely pretty against the ravens

 

[Ironcitysteelers]

We won. That is my thoughts! **** the ravens

 

[steelcan58]

very rarely pretty against the ravens

What do you mean. That game today was a Rembrandt

 

[madinsomniac]

1. **** the Ratbirds
2. The Division is ours for the taking
3. If the Bills win, winning out means we get the 1 seed
4. Browns on a short week now... got to beat those ********

 

[TDX27]

D played well.

Wilson on D shows how big of a steal he was every week.

OL was horrible.

Jones was horrible.

Boz is amazing.

Absolutely horrendous play calling inside the 20. You can't get down there and go run, run, pass. Mix it up and use the darn giant WR's and TE's on the team.

Was Muuth injured? I think he had one catch and then I didn't see him on the field when Washington got his 2 catches in the 4th quarter. Good to see that from Washington, though.

I don't care if it was a painting of Coolie on velvet.

Nah. That's just too far.

Absolutely amazing play by Wilson on the INT. 8-2. Incredible! Lots of Football left.

Did anyone mention how amazing Boz is?

[SteelBuckeye]

One more win to continue the streak

 

[Steelmann]

I thought the Defense played the most disciplined team Defensive game I have seen in years. They played containment. They created TO’s. You’re not going to get a SO against the Ravens. They have put up a lot of points this season. Great game D. And kudos to the coaches for the game planning on D.

Special Teams…..The Boz is in a league of his own.

I thought the opposite with the offense. I thought the play calling was horrible. Why not use our TE’s more in the middle! When we do it’s successful. I just don’t get it. Why not have some quick hitting slants to Calvin? Why did we not have Mike Williams spread out wide. I’m not sure what he can do yet. But I know what Van Jefferson can do. That drop for a first was humongous.
Austin is not the answer outside unless we are doing 5 Wide.
I thought Russ was average at best. Yes he had a couple nice throws. That int was absolutely ridiculous for a smart vet.
If it wasn’t for the TO’s created by the D and the incredible game the Refs had with the calls going our way we might not have gotten half those points. George played well and is really coming in to his own. Our run game was steady,

I was definitely proud of the D. They set up Boz’s FG’s. And I eat humble pie for thinking the Ravens would score 30 points on them in my pregame prediction. Thank god for the Boz!

redzone offense is horrible. If they can't run it in, their pass game in close stinks. It's because nobody gets open.

The WRs better be working on scramble drills. Based on the announcer's comments, when Russ holds the ball and scrambles, the WRs don't do anything to get to an open area.

The gameplan on offense was awful. They did little to challenge a struggling secondary.

If the defense didn't keep making plays, the steeler offense would have lost this game. They would have lost if Tucker only missed 1 FG instead of 2.

They have to get a better passing game involving the WRs downfield. They can beat bad teams like this, but I don't think they'll win multiple playoff games unless the offense ca be more to short throws and moon balls.

 

[TDX27]

We're going to play them at least one more time this year. We can't rely on Boz for 6 FG's and Tucker to miss 2. We MUST score TD's, especially in the red zone.

prety sure your equipment would explode

 

[Punxsutawney]

Boswell might be the team MVP this year, though teams typically refuse to give it to their kicker.

The inability of the offense to do more against what has been a bad Ravens pass defense was discouraging. This seemed to be the first game since Russ took over where the lack of depth at WR hurt them.

There did not seem to be a lot of separation from the receivers and neither Jefferson nor Austin made plays when given chances. Mike Williams saw little action

Facing a team that is strong against the run and weak against the pass, the play calling in the redzone was perplexing to say the least.

With that said, being able to beat the top scoring team in the league without scoring a TD reflects a strong effort by the defense, though Watt still doesn't seem to be dominating games like we've come to expect over the years.

They're in great position to win the division and compete for the number one seed in the AFC, but it kind of feels like the lack of a legit WR2 might be their undoing at some point.

Why trade for a Mike Williams if yu are not going to take advantage of his skills?
