Initial Thoughts on washington game

[stillwright]

took a pic of it on my TV. Image isn't good but it looks really bent.

I

All because it looked like he was pulling up awkwardly so he he wouldn't be called for a bad hit on the QB. My take anyways.

 

[bermudasteel]

TD catch by Pickens was beautiful awesome body control

what the **** was that with the fake punt that deep? I get it, you saw something you could exploit. It SHOULD have worked.... but damn not that deep in your side of the field

Daniels is better than caleb williams

Defense was great, then bad, then okay then.....they gave up some long drives the secondary had some big penalties but they played well overall

ballasy call on 4th and 1 in the 4th quarter...glad to see they did not try to get tricky and just pounded it for the 1st

they need to stop throwing deep to Van Jefferson and CAIII unless they are wide open....Pickens is open if only one guy is on him

Really nice to have Warren back healthy until the fumble

Williams' first catch is a HUGE TD...Welcome to Pittsburgh sir

Highsmith going down sucks...that looked bad

awesome stand on 4th down - too damn close though, I was sure they were going to give it to them.

washington ****** themselves out of a last chance by jumping offsides...no way were the Steelers going to snap it (I hope)

Love Victory Formation

See my feelings about the fake punt in @Chicoman's thread...not everyone will agree but I wasn't mad w/ the decision especially at that time in the game.

 

[stillwright]

he fumbled, but they have stopped it a lot faster than that before.

Seems they blow Harris' plays dead when the pile is moving forward..but Warren is going backwards and then down and they hold the whistles. It was a fumble though.

I would have been happier if we were at mid fieldish area...the play was there though. Just didn't complete it.

as if I care about your thoughts..............

Steelers won with the equivalent of the fake to 3rd, throw back to 1st pick off move. It works like once per year.

 

[Stainless]

I'm not sure where else to post this, but it would suck to be a Cowboys fan.

To keep things on topic, I'll say that Daniels seems way better than Caleb Williams at this point. Maybe it's the team around him, but maybe it isn't. Daniels looks special.

I do if he is thinking of sending me cash out of the kindness of his heart.

Thoughts:

Pickens is awesome, potemtial be best receiver in the league

Tomlin has balls

Pierre sucks…can’t catch can’t cover

Bad Russ is bad, good Russ is good

Defense struggles to play a complete game

The squad is playing pretty good situational ball

Our blocking was abysmal

Asked for 1 or 2 contributions to meaningful wins from MW and got #1 very quickly…nice work!

Warren fumbled, gotta protect the ball son

Highsmith will be missed, glad we got Preston for depth/insurance

Did I mention Mike grew a pair???

The Commandos did not play good situational ball
when it counted in crunch time.

A solid hard fought character building victory

The fans need to learn how to kick out an A Capella version of Renegade late on games when they are taking over stadiums!!!

Here we go Steelers!!!!

Forgot to shoutout to Big Mike Williams and Preston Smith answering the bell! Loved the instant contributions!!

We will need both moving forward. As Williams is an upgrade and Smith is no run defender and pass rush slouch.

Hopefully Herbig will be back next week too.

 

[TimesAreChanged]

Once again, the officials were horrendous. Warren's fumble should have been blown dead for forward progress. Then, Watt was obviously held in the endzone which would have been a safety. That doesn't include the rest of the games horrible calls and missed calls.

I hope Highsmith is OK.

Both new additions came to play!

Trump won. Penn State won. And, the Steelers won! I'd call that a good week!

This is your second reference to politics today. Keep it in the other forum where it belongs

 

[TimesAreChanged]

Daniels is already a good QB. Impressive decision making

I think Coach said there was no play called on 4th down to end it.

 

[Drink IRON City]

excellent point

too drunk to think of that one

NO worries Coolie, you did GREAT on the original post.!!!


Salute the nation

God bless....#45 and #47!!!!!

 

[Steeltime]

The Highsmith injury ...

Not great news. However, Preston Smith is a legit OLB and can rush the passer. Also, Herbig should be back next week. Would be a lot better with Highsmith on the field (he was in the backfield a ton), but having Smith and Herbig to fill in is a big plus.

 

[Litos]

The season starts next week. What we do down the stretch will decide if we are pretenders or not.

Disagree, today was a real battle

 

[slashsteel]

Disagree, today was a real battle

They have 4 matchups with 7 or over win clubs, a Cincy O that can score.

You are both right today was a battle but they will be severely tested down the stretch.

I could see a 4-4 finish. I hope they continue to surprise..

Pierre at least did a crucial pass break up in 3rd down iirc

If I was Rooney, I’d send Goodell Watt’s contract terms and the replay of the endzone hold (and others) and say “We’re not paying him to be held. This is how we’ve structured our team and salary cap. If teams want to neutralize him, they can pay two players to do so.”

Goodell doesn't care at all about the game on the field. He cares about revenues and getting his mug on TV.

 

[tapeANaspirin2it]

Another observation.
Jayden Daniels. 3 rushes for 5 yards. No TD’s thrown.
He has tore the NFL up with his running this season. We definitely handled the rookie this game. We have great success with Lamar…..there’s no doubt that helps with this type of running QB.
Terry McLaurin gave our secondary fits. He has been doing that to secondaries all his career. A great WR.

By the way. Seems like the whole media and fans talk about Jayden Nonstop. There is another rookie QB doing better than him.
Bo Nix. Look it up. Well….at least right up there with him.

Nix is not even close to Daniels. Points per game. Wash 29. Denver 19.7

Nix is playing well in a controlled system. Daniels is carrying his team. At no point playing Denver did i feel scared of Bo Nix.

You are reminiscent of a serpent that used to slime this board.

Bo Nix was 20-35 for 246 yards with 2 interceptions in his second game of his career against us. He’s steadily improved since then.

Daniels today was 17-34 for 202 yards with a whole 5yards of rushing and no TD’s,. In his 10th NFL game. I’m glad you think he was so impressive against us and carried his team. I for one didn’t think he looked that great today.

Today Bo was 22-30 for 215 2 TDs against KC. Brought them down for a 35 yard FG with one second left that was blocked. He had them up to beat the Chiefs.

Danial’s has thrown for 9 touchdowns this year. Rushed for 4 touchdowns.
Bo Nix has thrown for 10. Rushed for 4 touchdowns.
Daniels has a better completion percentage and has more rushing yards.
Nix can run as well….has 295 yards.

To say that “ Nix is not even close to Daniels “…..and that Daniels is “ carrying his team”
I’d argue that Nix seems to be carrying his team as well. Like Denver has done so much in the last few years before him.
One of these QB’s seems to be a media darling,while one goes relatively unnoticed. Guess which one.

Thanks for that, good stuff. Wilson also moved into the 3rd spot(13 shared with Marino) for most game winning TD passes in the last 3 minutes of a game since the merger.
Matthew Stafford is #2 with 14 and Satan...errrr.... I mean Brady is #1 with 15. Will be sweet if Russ knocks Marcia to #2 before this season is over.
