Mason showed some real guts

I’m not sure they were actually booing Rudolph. I thought they were booing because Kenny Pickett didn’t come into the game after Trubisky.
 
Fans are frustrated that we’ll get stuck with a clown show at qb! They weren’t booing him they were booing the thought of him replacing Big Ben. He sucks! They don’t want to buy expensive tickets to home games to watch him tie Detroit!! cant blame them
Regardless of who starts we could be stuck with a clown show at QB. None of those guys-Trubisky, Rudolph or Pickett-is named Mahomes, Allen or Burrow.

Yeah, they all looked pretty good last night, but it was pre-season, Seattle and not many starters to be found anywhere on either side. Encouraging for sure, but I don’t think you can christen anyone or write anyone off just yet.
 
As a Steeler fan, I am extremely proud to not have come from that disrespectful shithole that is Pittsburgh. I would gladly follow them if they left that town, just like the Ravens did. When you see a display like that, you deserve to do without. Don’t like the guy, so be it, that is your right, but those dumb ***** are a typical representation of Pittsburgh.
My entire extended family is from Pittsburgh.My father grew up in downtown Pittsburgh near Forbes field. My grandfather drove a cab in Pittsburgh for years after his WW 2 combat sevice in the Army before buying a farm 44 miles NE of the city. They're all good solid people.
You will find obnoxious people everyplace you go. You'll always find them at large sporting events that serve alcohol.
Playing qb is a rough spot and people will turn on you if you're not getting the job done.

They booed the **** out of Bradshaw early on before those turned to cheers and then unfortunately back to booing/cheering when TB got hurt.

You have ******** all over. Try driving in rush-hour traffic in any populated city for a day. Tons of ********.

Got to have thick skin, tunnel vision and the ability to block of negative people.

To be fair not many QBs are on par with Mahomes, Allen, or Burrow. Hopefully Pickett develops into a top ten QB. The kid sure doesn't lack in confidence.
 
Meh I travel extensively. Pittsburgh is one of the friendliest and neighborly places in the country. There are exceptions, of course…

And I’ve been to a lot of away games… there are morons in every fanbase… if that were Philly they probably would have thrown batteries at him…

A lot of that sentiment last night is probably because both of the main sports talk radio stations in the town have shat on Rudolph from day one, and have cultivated that idiotic hatred of him…
 
Malone, Graham, Stewart ... Mason isn't the first Steelers QB to be booed in his own stadium.
Not saying it's right.

Terry Bradshaw as well, injured too !!!



Salute the nation
 
Been there for games 3 times, spent 2-3 days each time. My sister lived there for 3 years. With my impression as well as hers, I stand by my post. If it upsets people, they should really look to their locals that have earned this review.
You stand by your post, but I'm unclear as to what your post says.

Are you saying the city itself is a shithole? " A disrespectful shithole "? What does that even mean, that fans make the city a shithole?
There are shitthead fans in every city. Steeler fans are mild as compared to Philly or NY fans
 
After reading the nonsense over in the Rudolph trade thread, I've come to the conclusion that there are those that hate fans who support Rudolph more than they hate Rudolph.
Truth…and just like every other team there are some real dumbass Steeler fans out there…just trolls posing as fans that don’t have a clue

Must have some miserable lives to be that full of hate

What’s way easier as a fan is to avidly support the players on your team…you know, being a fan. I’m not saying a fan can’t be critical of poor performance but anyone who boos their own to start a season I guarantee was also the shittiest team mate, that is if they ever had the guts to try to go out and perform on the field. Guts I doubt they ever had because of you ever did play and we’re a solid team mate ya just don’t act like that.

It’s embarrassing AF and very Igglish
 
Agree, I don't see why people would boo the guy, other than he is not Ben Roethlisberger. I never thought he was a bad QB, I've always said that he is an adequate backup but probably not a full-time #1 starter.

The clown show has been at offensive coordinator

I think there’s something to this. Though the script has flipped and you’ve got Mark Madden’s people telling him Kenny isn’t pro ready so he’s upset with last night. Kaboly was pushing Rudolph as the starter and he’s doing his best to dismiss last night’s game performance from the QBs.

The booing was mainly due to fans wanting to see Pickett. That's it.
Eh, that was part of it but I didn’t get the sense it was an overwhelming part. It was definitely a combination of wanting to watch Pickett and not wanting Rudolph on there.
 
Considering what we just saw, I think Pickett has earned some playing time with the 2's this week in practice and in the Jax game.
 
Wow. Not sure what to say about that. Tell us what you really think. Been to the Burgh twice. People were pretty damn nice. I agree it was a little stupid. But yeah ok. Don't think that's gonna go over too well.
Born and raised there 20 miles to the east, spent 30 years there, not just 3 years or 2-3 games. The city itself is like any city in the county, there are good parts of town and those to be avoided. I still have family there any go back on a regular basis. If it weren't for lack of job opportunities, and the snow of course, I likely still live there, so I more or less take exception on the generalized take of the area.
 
Changing the subject just a bit....
I thought Mitch (the guy the team signed as a possible Ben replacement) played well against some, but not all of the Seahag starters. Pickett played well, but with all the 'Kenny, Kenny, Kenny' calls against the Seattle grocery baggers, I gotta feel a little for Mitch. I know he knows what he was getting into here, but just wonder how he feels. I mean, Mitch got it done against some starters, Kenny did it against 3rd and 4th stringers.

Also, Tomlin usually played starters in pre season game #3, and sat 'em in game 4. With only 3 preseason games, do we see a lot of the starters next week, and they sit preseason game 3?
 
All 3 played well, but it is preseason, and I didn't get to see Kenny much because of the NFL network's decision to change games.
Neither Mitch nor Rudolph is the long-term answer at QB, with Kenny, only time will tell, but right now I'm not sure it will make much of a difference who gets
the starting role. I want to see 20-0, but 8-9 maybe more of a reality.
 
Booing Mason was totally uncalled for and classless. I was happy to see him move the team and the TD to Pickins was a great throw.
It’s very healthy to have all three guys playing well and competing at a high level. We’ve not seen that in 18 years but the competition will only bring out the best for all three guys.
Kenny is the future of this football team and Mitch is the immediate bridge until Kenny is ready. I pushed before free agency hoping we would sign Mitch who brings a pretty good resume from the Bears. That TD throw to Gunner was nice and showcased his ability to rollout and make the throw. We haven’t seen that mobility in years here and it was great to see it.
Mason will work as Mitch’s backup this year and Kenny will be the number three. Next year Kenny will be ready to take the reins from Mitch and he won’t disappoint.
All three guys moved their units and played well. That’s a good thing!
 
I think no matter who starts at qb for this team ( all 17 games) we end at 7-10. So play Pickett and let him improve.

I agree with this, and to be fair I read somewhere that they were booing Trubisky too just 2 snaps into the first practice and calling for Kenny lol, it's going to be alot of pressure on our starting QB this year..
 
random question. when Mason threw the perfect TD pass. did the fans cheer? man I hope so
I see many on Social Media saying the throw was a prayer and he was lucky. SMH. If Pickett threw it they would be slobbering on his knob.
 
I’m not sure they were actually booing Rudolph. I thought they were booing because Kenny Pickett didn’t come into the game after Trubisky.
Oh no they were absolutely booing him. Wasn't the last time either. Even after throwing the touchdown he got some boos the next series.
