Steelers -Colts game thread

Man some of you all turn so negative so fast. you must really have depressing worlds
 
Big difference in the game is TOs.....in D we had a shot at 2 INTs and a fumble recovery that we missed out on.....and of course the Pickens fumble down in the RZ
 
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.
very good points. Isnt Herbig injured--ankle maybe?? Then we lose C Patterson to an ankle after he obliterates the IND run defense. I mean tons of players are going down.

And on the big drive from our 4 to their 4, honestly Fields mainly handed the ball to CPatterson. Fields did complete the pass to a mountain of a man D Washington and he was rumblin, stumblin, bumblin down the sideline and tried to hurdle over a defender. He looked great. He stiff armed the little (when compared to him) safety that tried to stop him right after he caught the ball and then he was off down the sidelines.
 
To be clear. Fields is 10-13 for 120 yds. 9.2ypa and a 104.6 rating in this game. Not the stats of a guy who is "just not in control".
 
 
I think Fields can get some yards with his legs, he just needs to decide quickly and go.
 
Why isn't Harris in there at this point?
 
It doesn't help the coaching staff has engrained make zero mistakes so he doesn't take chances with his arm either. We saw the same thing with Pickett.
Yeah and he is still young so the processing isn't there yet. In a game like this ball needs to come out quick.

Yep....it is a give and take type of situation.
 
well he coached this team to 3-0 so far does he get credit for that or was that despite his coaching?
He deserves credit for generally being competitive and winning close games, but his offenses simply suck without Roethisberger carrying him.

It hasn't just been the QB play, as the OL play has been bad for most of his time as coach, and the overall approach is way too conservative.

It's been the same **** for years now. When the defense has a subpar game, they have no chance because the offense cannot score more than one or two TDs a game.
 
What D will show up in the 2nd half I wonder.....
