Steelers -Colts game thread

Yay!!! Three points!!!
 
Get rid of it or just run ---damn Justin. Yes I know, there were a lot of Colts around him, but he has to know this. He cannot keep holding the ball too long in these situations. Is it hard? Yes its hard but that is the NFL.

But hey, we are at least getting a shot at a FG. Down 14 now going into halftime.

I just want Fields to develop that internal clock in his mind and know when to get rid of it or when to use his legs and get the hell out of dodge.

It’s hard when your primary back is good for 1 yard and your OC calls shotgun draw on 4th and 1

There’s a whole lotta blame out there today, but the D is completely playing poor fundamentals

Good news is there’s two halves, bad news might be there’s another half 🤣

Worse I am here having to watch it in person. Hate this place. Loud without the crowd even making noise. Heinz, yes yes I know, is so much better a place to watch a game.
 
As bad as they played, if not for that Pickens fumble, this game could be 17-10 or 17-6.

Both coordinators need to find some answers.

They keep calling quick passes with short QB drops and Fields is being engulfed in the pocket with nowhere to escape because the WRs aren't open. They need to get Fields on the move.

I'm not sure if Broderick Jones would be any better on the left side, but it's hard to imagine he would be any worse.

Broderick Jones is a modern day Ereck Flowers! I don't think he will ever develop into a quality tackle regardless of what side you put him on! I'd trade his *** in the off-season for a 2nd or 3rd rounder.

What exactly did the refs see to overturn the catch rule? Makeup call for Fields maybe/maybe not being past the LOS on the previous play?

that whole scenario was weird. The side judge waved his hands like it was a catch and to stop the clock because he went out of bounds. Did they all get together and see if there was some way they could take the play away from PIT and so they came up with that? Its like one of the refs challenged the other ref that he had made a bad call. Ridiculous.
 
Something positive 3 points. Hopefully the second half will be a lot better.
 
Flacco knows this defense inside and out. at half time they gotta make adjustments to Flacco. pressure pressure pressure

Routes probably were longer routes....sometimes when you have to throw down field you have to wait for the play to develop....it's like you think no other QB ever has taken a sack before.

I am less worried about him being sacks....an more impressed he hasn't forced throws into bad areas...or fumbled the ball. Props to Fields.

Yes. That is what seems to be off. He needs to make faster decisions. He could have taken off a couple times rather than taking the sack. Might not have gotten a lot but I would have been positive yards. First game I haven’t liked the play calling. Need more bootlegs in this game. Play to his strengths when he struggles in the pocket. Defense is really missing Highsmith against the run. Herbig is a great player but he is struggling a bit playing every down. Leal hasn’t impressed me yet. May need to sign someone.
 
Hard to shove it on Fileds, they are forcing him up the pocket into defensive players. Our line is truly showing how bad they are today. I look at Tomlin and this is when you question all the accolades he receives from press and players. He just does not seem to have an answer and he just stares. Another game we should not be playing as we are.. The defense really has done nothing to much press it seems. A back up senior citizens picks them a part. Poor tackling and coverage. I hope they do as Georgia last night and come out and look the part.
 
The only thing about those of us who would have liked to have been able to see what Wilson could do when Fields looked like a deer in headlights, with the way the Colt defenders were living in our backfield rushing Justin, Im afraid Wilson would have been Big Ben like in his being like a statue and would have gotten killed. However, Russell most likely knows when to get rid of the ball and not take the sack better than Justin does.
