Steelers -Colts game thread

Must score a TD here.

IND is trying to let us back in the game, but we cant do anything with it. missed the FG instead of pinning Fields down inside the 20 or even the 10.

Its an emergency---wish Wilson could come in. LOL.

Coming into the game, IND had the worst run defense in the NFL and except for 1 drive, we can barely get back to the line of scrimmage. IND plays so many people up close but we have no one to make them pay for that.

Points dodged on the TO......We need 7 here with the great field position.

It is now or never…

 

[MemphisSteelerFan]

Roll outs. Bootlegs. Get out of the pocket.

yes. Lets do it.

 

[Lambert58]

And Harris for another 1yd run. ****!

 

[madinsomniac]

Well when it rains, it poirs... just one of those games

Just throw the ball away and take the FG

See that was my concern with letting fields start early... he had some success before they fully rehabbed him...

He doesnt want to give any reason to switch back and is trying to force rather than laying up just a bit now...

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

Can he? I'll remind you that Fields and Wilson were #1 and #2 in sacks taken last year. They also led the league in time from snap to throw.

your love for fields is palpable.

Defense is at least giving them a shot

With Richardson in there, I get it, the Colts can be good. He's out and the Steelers have had plenty of opportunities to get back in these things. It went from a potentially ugly loss to poor play to a potentially bad loss with Flacco in at QB.

 

[SteelerInLebanon]

Stop pointing. You’re losing.

 

[Shane Falco]

Let’s see if Fields can be a goldfish here

 

[Lambert58]

Pickens for a nice gain. 38yrds

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

Pearl Harbor?

yes,,,, Fu&^%ing Pearl Harbor!

How many offensive linemen are they missing?

Good QB make you pay for bring a lot of blitzes. Good QB can read it pre-snap and know who is going to be open. Some call it a Hot Route read, something the Steelers apparently have not incorporated since Ben's retirement.

I have to agree with MemphisSteeler above. Fields may have all the physical talent in the world but his mental game appears to be slow and that shouldn't be so in your 4th year in the league.

I've said this before on here but it remains true. As I heard a college D-1 coach say about quarterback abilities and arm strength, etc. The 2 most important abilities a Quarterback needs is knowing where to throw it and when to throw it. Without those, the strongest arm in the league is useless.

 

[MemphisSteelerFan]

The OLine cannot open a hole for anyone to rush through.

Thank goodness Fields saw Pickens.

 

[stillwright]

****.....spread them out and throw with the option of Fields to run!!!!

 

[black and gold apex]

We need some play to stop this rush. Somone needs to step up on this line, Colts defense looks way better than the Steelers today.

 

[KentuckySteeler]

Stop running up the middle every single 1st down FFS. WTF !?? Sprint Fields out of the pocket.

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

nice roll and pass

 

[SteelBuckeye]

your love for fields is palpable.

Could be. I'll admit to wanting to see a Buckeye succeed.
But, my point about Wilson/Fields and their respective sacks taken and snap to throw times is valid.

 

[KentuckySteeler]

LOL! False start.

 

[stillwright]

And Harris for another 1yd run. ****!

9 or 10 in the box. Who would have thought.

 

[Gildong Sack]

Can he? I'll remind you that Fields and Wilson were #1 and #2 in sacks taken last year. They also led the league in time from snap to throw.

True, but he still managed to throw for 26 TDs and over 3,000 yards while being benched part of the season...I'll take my chances, Fields is not capable of that at this point.

 

[Lambert58]

Can we get Washington in there???

 

[stillwright]

Stupid penalties
