Snowball in Hell

Year 1 of the rebuild and we still made the playoffs when NOBODY gave us a chance. It's all gravy from here on out. Let's enjoy it and let's shock the world.
Sorry but this was the pre-build. They pushed chips in on this and did several remortgages. This isn't even the surface of what needs done here.
 
Oh Canada will be implementing all of his never before seen secret plays this weekend, it will be epic. Just you wait.
Horizontal pass wide right, horizontal pass wide left. Behind the line of scrimmage reverse. Toss it to the RB two yards behind the line of scrimmage. 3 yard pass to DJ have him back track two yards to see if he can find an open lane. Run on 3rd and 15. **** they won't know what hit 'em.

Shhhhhh, don't give it away.
 
Three keys:

  • Defense has to be aggressive. No 10 yard cushions. Play in their face, and take the risk of a few big plays as long as we get to Mahomes often.
  • Offense has to try and grind it out. Heavy running game, but don't be afraid to throw on first down to make 2nd/3rd down manageable. Move the chains and keep Mahomes on the sideline.
  • Win the turnover battle.

MJD says in order to win they Steelers need to score more than the Chiefs.
 
This game is pure gravy and I have zero expectations for a win. Would love to see a competitive game with Ben going down fighting against a better opponent dragging the Steelers with him. If the NFL Gods are watching, the Steelers win in some sort of last second heart thumping play. Hey, I'm actually pretty excited about the future with this team going further than I ever expected.
 
For one thing, TJ will be playing and he was out the last time we played the Chefs.
Watt did play against the Chefs. He wasn't out, but I can understand why you thought he was. He played over half of the snaps, but was nearly invisible with one lone tackle, no sacks, and zero QB pressures.

He'll be much healthier for this game, so your point is still well-taken.

I see us going heavy on runs with Claypool and McCloud this Sunday......you know because we have use them sparingly of late and they worked perfectly against the Ravens so expect to see it a bunch.
 
That's all nice but Ben isn't the one calling the plays in the first 3 quarters of a game. It's all Canada. He removed our no-huddle offense completely to start the season. What they have now is still a fraction of what it used to be. But, mixing the no-huddle in multiple times throughout the game and not just at the end of a half is the only way this team moves the ball consistently. Running Canada's base offense is offensive, at best. They rarely score in the first half. Sure, Ben could make a better pass here and there. Sure, the receivers could make another catch or run the correct route here and there. And, sure, the OL could block better most of the time. But, the O and the play calls is 99% Canada this year. Those short quick throws behind the line on 3rd and 10 with no read progressions is all Canada. If Ben isn't given the keys back (at least for large chunks of this game), we will have a very hard time winning. So, here's to all of Ben's helmets having malfunctioning headsets.
If yinz remember about ten years ago (has it really been that long?) we used to crack about Bruce Arians licking the windows on the short bus and a ****-flinging monkey picking the plays, I never thought I'd say this but Matt Canada is worse.

It's such an odd thing seeing some of these offenses they trot out year after year. Much of the time it makes no sense.

Our defensive strategy of leaving the middle of the field wide open for a solid 6 years had me convinced the DC was eating lead paint chips for breakfast. Oh and playing way off your guy. That's why the pats**** always carved them up. Yet they never even attempted to adjust this scheme that was always going to fail and did so in epic fashion.

And after a while other teams started copying the Pats******* game plan and using it to beat us too. You don't have to be Tom Br*dy, just a reasonably accurate QB.
That's what used to piss me off about the Pats******* beating us all the time. Sure they cheat and knew what we were going to do but after a while we knew what they were going to do too.

Seems like the same O'l plays just worded differently............... **** Canada, the OC not the country.!




Salute the nation

Problem is Canada doesn't want to rent any of my **** flinging Monkeys. Keep in mind my **** flinging Monkeys have standards and NONE of them are willing to be rented by O' Canada.


RON, I remember well that era as "the bruce" was my biggest customer and he had one special **** flinging monkey that worked rather well with him..... like they understood each other's language. NOW before anyone draws a conclusion of romance know this I TOOK CARE OF AND MADE SURE ALL MY RENTAL(S) WERE TREATED PROPERLY AND CARED FOR IN A PROFESSIONAL MANOR. ALWAYS WAS A TRAINER/HANDLER PRESENT SO AS NOTHING COULD HAPPEN. NO OVERNIGHT STAYS.

Yes my rental business is still active and doing well. The STEELERS continously approach me but when it's time for Matt, he always is a no show.

Test subject: DIC
Observation assessments: DIC is a docile creature. It seems his peyote use has given him quite the imagination or there is still more to understand about this creature. Are there more like him? It seems he runs a pack of **** flinging monkeys and has access to red hot pokers. Man moves one step closer to understanding nature and it’s craziness
 
Agree with SteveA....

Jags had NO chance vs Colts and killed them
KC is not undefeated
XL year, Steelers were said to have no business beating Colts or Broncos according to talking heads
Didn't the jets beat the Pats twice to go to AFCC game?


That being said

3 DL all game (Cam, Adam and roll in 99, Hopefully Davis, and Wormley (keep them fresh)
Maholmes creates a lot when plays break down and his receivers work to get open, must continue to cover through whistle, opposite of Jackson who runs once breaks down
Up tempo offense and not allowing the crowd noise to effect every play taking so long at LOS
Let Ben audible out pending on what defense shows
Edmunds and Sutton on Kelce?
Haden on Hill with Minka defending deep
Guessing the line will be Moore - Glue - JC - Turner - Chunks
CAN NOT kick FG to expect to win, TD and long drives if possible.
Look deep but not the same sideline deep to Chase every time
Set up a RB screen maybe and a slant and don't forget our TE's.

Sounds like winner!
 
If its close in the forth quarter...

One has to believe Big Ben is going to come through again..

Wouldn't it be nice to send them our battle plans before the game and have them give it a go...haha

That's just crazy enough to WORK!
