Steelers -clowns game thread (1st matchup)

[SteelBuckeye]

Art Smith has fallen into Fichtner/Canada mode ... run, run, pass.

 

[Steelmann]

This disturbing trend is continuing so far. But it’s early. We had only 4- 3rd down conversions last week.

 

[JMM]

It'll be alright. Just chill.

 

[TDX27]

I'm not blaming the sacks on Russ at all. He's running for his life. The OL was horrible and especially Moore.

I really can't wait until he is gone. We put Jones back at his normal position at LT and we get Fautanu back to man the RT spot.

 

[stillwright]

You act like you haven’t seen this ****** movie before

Truth speak.

 

[jitter77]

it never used to be. You used to actually have to be in the process of making a tackle while punching the ball out, and not just poking it out and getting a sack on the guy you never took to the ground.

I think it has been counted as a sack for a long time

 

[black and gold apex]

We will see how they respond; Browns are into this game we have not got off bus yet. Tomin motivator you had 15 minutes to motivate. let's go.

If you've been paying attention to this game you can see that Cleveland's players are excited and engaged....they are playing to win. Look at the Steelers and I see no excitement on the sidelines or any emotion from the players. If I didn't know any better it's like they don't even want to be there!

This is their Super Bowl
The Steelers are on bye week

"Williams? Williams?"

"Uh...I think he's sick."

 

[steelhurt]

Nah! The OL has too many holes allowing too much pressure especially with a soon to be 36 year old QB that’s not mobile any longer.
The gameplan on offense stinks! The run game not good enough!
Only one premier receiver. Austin is ok but this team so badly needs a real blue chip #2 receiver and it’s really showing tonight. Van Jefferson ******* stinks!
Defense not getting much pressure on Crableggs.
Simply not sustainable to think you can win kicking FGs every game.

Think Tomlin is 5-12 on Thursday nights

Watt has gotten a ton of sacks that way. Swatting the ball away....then falli g on it. Sack. Forced fumble. Fumble recovery. Wish he would get a few of those tonight. He has been a ghost for a few games now.

Pretty sad to lose a game on a bye week don't ya think?!

 

[JMM]

@Pittsburgh Charlie , you good? Seems pretty much par for the course to me, going back, 40 some years...You?

 

[stillerfaninfl]

How's about a couple bubble screens?

 

[Djfan]

Classic Tomlin trash so far

 

[jitter77]

I think the bad early calls gave the Browns life. The 58yrd FG into the wind and not punting on 4th and 2 showed some disrespect and fired the Browns up

 

[Chicoman]

This is exactly why I'm not a Tomlin fan! He can't motivate his team to victory if his life depended on it!

Sometimes a Head Coach just needs to be able to light a fire under his players. I've never seen Tomlin able to do that!

Give Russ a break and bring in the Closer already

9-10

 

[JMM]

Let it snow, let it snow

 

[Steelr4evr]

The 2-8 team is playing like the 8-2 team should be.

Ok, second half has to be a new team.

 

[Cras108er]

Relax.....Steelers has always been a second half team.

We need to stand up on this first drive then. The team seemed off from the very beginning. A little too “hyped.”

Pretty much

 

[stillwright]

Send some pressure!!!!
