Steelers-Browns game thread #WhenBack2TheLabMeetsTheFactoryOfSadness Part1

Do you really enjoy those as much? I say I do but I don't get the same endorphin rush when they are over as a game like this. These are the ones you remember.

I enjoy them all. Blowouts, close games. Just win baby!

Doesn't change the result of the play being a failed conversion. The Browns weren't fooled, it was a bad call at a bad time given the defensive battle and the Steelers struggle to score points.

Like I said, the play call was ****. Better execution/thinking on Bos' part could have limited the damage (to himself).
Also, if, as you say, the Brown's weren't fooled, EVERY team that has a fake FG package also gives someone (either the kicker or holder) the ability to call it off if they see the defense isn't fooled. Given that Harvin is a rookie, I'd bet that Bos was the one who could call it off ... So, poor execution in not calling it off.

Bos looked like someone’s Grandma trying to find someone to pass to. This is a play that should never be called again. Maybe put Harvin in and have him run it in like Refrigerator Perry.

Yeah really. He made a call that backfired, it happens. He also didn't let the team get down he challenged them and they came through. Hell that call made him call the game the way I think it should called with more emphasis on going for it aggressively in side the 50. I wish we would call the plays like we didn't have a kicker more often.

Is that what he did......challenge them? Lol. That's simply stupid.

How so? Why is that stupid? I have had many a coach challenge us to overcome adversity and make up for mistake whether ours or theirs. Everyone messes up it is how the team responds that matters. That is exactly what Tomlin's team did when challenged.

He can throw as well. I would have had the kicker mimic the kick while Harvin takes the snap and runs the play.

I hope he comes back soon
 
I bet the opposition won't expect us to run that play again...That's where we have the advantage on them. ;)

I'm pretty sure Okorafor gave up a sack, Moore did not. It's football, Okorafor would not be an improvement at left tackle, not at this point in the season. Maybe the coaches prove me wrong but I just don't currently see it.

i dont think Moore actually did let up a sack but... ****, he did perhaps so much worse.

Our left tackle CANNOT let Ben get demolished from the blindside. That is unexcusable. Goddamit, wrap your arms up and tackle the son of a ***** from behind if you get beat cleanly. That just cannot happen anymore. end of story.

Coulda ended Ben's season and his career, cause he's a bit of a China-doll now. Also, Ben's never had to worry about the blindside because of the Smith-Starks-Villanueva killer combo, year after year. Ben NEEDS that to throw with confidence and get literally anything done on offense - otherwise, we are toast. might as well throw Haskins in there if our QB has to run to buy time.

i'd take Moore aside after this game and tell him: look, you're probably our best OL but we dont want to have to replace you - with another guy that's worse than you - just to make damn sure Ben doesnt get ******* killed.

PS. i agree Chuks would be a significant downgrade at LT.

MOORE did give up one sack to Miles Garrett. Moore didn't get much help throughout the game (he did get some). Keep in mind that they are talking Miles Garret for DPOY and he currently leads NFL in sacks. Moore isn't the problem, he can get better but to pull him aside and tell him you're going to replace him a someone worse doesn't seem to make any sense...............

Are you impaired currently ?

I thought he had a pretty good game and has a lot of potential. Trial by fire no doubt.

LOL, i'm not impaired. :)

i know Garrett is DPOY. And still LT is a game where i know; even a guy like Orlando Pace gets beat once in a while (just like the best cornerbacks). BUT, BUT i dont care how good you are doing at LT, if you whiff completely, and dont do anything about it - even once - that could be the end of a quarterback's career/ team's entire season.

And that was something i'd touted was rookie Moore's biggest strength - not getting beat clean enough to allow a DE to get an unabaited on the Big Ben.

that's my opinion. Unabaiteds are life-changers.

Keep in mind he is a rookie. I think we will continue seeing improvement. Especially in the off-season going into season two for the youngster.

You give Moore help. They started to do that with a TE and the RB chipping.
 
Even an article I read after the game not associated with a Steelers site said Boz got hit helmet-to-helmet and no penalty was called. It should have. We won the game but that was just one of many major **** ups by the officials that hurt the Steelers and it was as obvious as it gets. It was a fake punt. Boz is now the QB. He threw the ball for all to see. Then, the guy took another step and planted the top of his helmet in Boz's face. Textbook penalty for late hit/roughing the passer and/or helmet-to-helmet hit.
