Steelers-bungles game thread #theDivisionIsThereForTheTaking

Wheres Joey Porter when you need him?

 

[Buster]

That was a horrible non PI call.

Lots of other reasons we lose this game.

 

[Stainless]

I don't really get why Claypool isn't on the field for 4th & 10.

 

[SteelBuckeye]

When Ben says "This loss is on me" tonight, he'll be right.
Y'all can blame Tomlin, Fitchtner, Butler .... But none of those guys gave the ball away two times that led to 14 points. Without those 14 points, this game is 17 - 10.

 

[Cras108er]

The entire team was sleep walking the first half, zero emotion. Then we get back in the game and we let them run down our throats while using 2 DL and a 220lb ILB, thats just dumb

We got out executed tonight. That last TD for them was a back breaker. Finley ran it in untouched. Hightower gave up contain.

Ben sucked tonight. No other way to put it. Actually he and the team has sucked for 4 straight weeks now. But tonight was definitely on him.

Ben played like **** early no discussion, but if you're the best D in the NFL you hold a team thats down to their 3rd QB, back up RB and missing their best wr to FGs too

Unless you get gassed because the offense goes 3 and out on 7 of its first 8 possessions, turns the ball over 3 x in the first half and has you on the field for the majority of the game. Then you get tired and start making mental mistakes. The idea is that the team plays complementary football. The D tried to hold their end up in the first half. The Offense clearly did not.

Fichtner keeps sending everybody into the routes instead of protecting. Why send Vance's slow *** downfield instead of having him chip and protect?

Whole offensive staff needs to go. OC, OL coach WR coach. Clean house,

Without Bush, Vince, Dupree, Spillane and others the defense is playing severely handicapped.

Yep. And this team will go as far as his play takes them this year. If plays like this they go one and done in the playoffs.

They actually ran the ball well this evening and our wide outs actually looked like professionals. Well minus JuJu .

Tomlin has once again unleashed hell in December.



On Steeler fans.

 

[stuntmanmike]

First time we haven’t score at 20 a game 4 straight games since bens rookie years geez us.. we all know the offensive coordinator is horrible but the Rooney’s just ignore the fans it’s bullshit spend all this time money and you bring in a coach that isn’t fit to coach a junior college team. It’s just bullshit!

Ben sucked and you're right, if you're a top defense in the league this defense shouldn't have allowed more than 3 or 4 FGs to this QB, turnovers or not.

Steelers were outclassed everyway possible tonight. Bengals were the more physical team and the Steelers displayed zero urgency. This team looks like it's mailing it in.

 

[AggieSteel]

The defense had to play ******* Avery Williamson, Marcus Allen, and Alex Highsmith all game.. they are not the best D in the NFL without the actual players that got them there

I can't take this 2 yard passing anymore.

They weren't gassed in the first half

They will be lucky to avoid a wild card spot at this rate....

And if anyone see something that makes this team have a chance in the playoffs well....Good for you.

 

[Yinzerlyn]

The standard is the standard and we exceeded it by 3 games already. #TomlinLogic

 

[Coryea]

Heyward, Tuitt, AluAlu Minkah, Watt, Nelson, Haden should be plenty good enough to stop Cincys 3rd string O

They're playing against Ryan Finley.

 

[Jsc825]

Tomlin is such a good coach, he really had his team ready two weeks ago, last week, and now this week...I guess saying his team sucks really motivated them to play
but hey, he won a SB 10+ years ago, give him another week to get ready for the PO's
WOW

 

[Steelr4evr]

Just saw this. I guess we're holding are season ending trend.

this is exactly right. Did folks really watch how Ben was throwing the ball like when they would show the replay from behind Ben looking down the field? He was horrible. He missed open receivers. He threw into double and triple coverage. He threw 2 picks and should have been more. This was the 28th ranked rushing defense and we could not get 100 yds or barely did. Ben is just killing this team with his terrible decision making.
