Wow, what an exhausting game. The defense in the 1st half was incredible. Burrow was tapdancing and cringing before the pressure arrived. He is going to get lit up running the ball - just not fast enough to avoid getting hammered.

Minkah played pissed. Two penalties where he went after the receiver, but he was also all over the field, making tackles, breaking up passes, and pick 6.

Jeez, need Watt to be okay. Game changer yet again.

The offense was ... did you see the defense?

Oh, but here's an idea. Don't single one of the 4 or 5 best WR's in the game, particularly with 4 seconds left on goal-to-go and a 6-point lead. Just a thought.

Need Watt healthy ASAP. The trio of Highsmith, Watt and Heyward are going to wear out passers. The slimy Bungles took advantage of a wide-open middle of the field for numerous short dumpoffs that went for 10 or more yards. Fix it, Austin.

The offense ... is dismal. If the team cannot give a RB any room, and cannot pass protect very well, that is not a good combination. But I heard a rumor about this number 88 who is pretty good. Way to save him for very late in the OT. Genius. Hey, secret's out, Canada - bust out No. 88 earlier next week!

However, the Steelers won because they were the better team. The referees should suck my ****. Again, endless grabbing of Steelers receivers is perfectly okay. Oh, and no holding except for one time on the sack because the ******* can then say, "Yeah, we called holding." But not on a 3rd and 4 where the ******* tackle lived up to his name by TACKLING Highsmith.
 
It’s gotten to the point where I have to DVR games and just fast forward to watch the D, cuz watching this offense is offensive to any real football fan’s sensibilities.

**** the D either scores, sets up the score or we’re dead man walking/punt ready

We tried like hell to be that 1 in 100 team that can win the TO battle by 5 or more and still lose🤦🏻‍♂️

Now with Watt out the D may not be worth watching either, feel bad for Minkah and Cam. If I’m an opposing OC I double Cam and throw away from Minkah and easily chalk of the W

The secondary is good. Could be very good. Yeah, Witherspoon got beat bad with no time left but also buried the #2 receiver all game. Sutton played well. Wallace was almost invisible because they rarely went after him. Minkah was awesome. Nothing deep - NOTHING. Zero. Against a team that had to wipe CBS saliva off their ****. ****** 5-yard dumpoffs were the go-to.
 
Yep secondary is much improved with Wallace and Witherspoon outside

Hopefully Wallace back soon.

Without Watt wreaking havoc they’re gonna have to cover longer though for sure
 
Typical game. Ben played like **** again. ****** even change his uniform to 10, you believe that? Like we wouldn’t know.
 
Steelers led the whole gain ..................outcome was pretty obvious after the first points were scored.............. said no one
