Steelers eagles preseason

[USDA#1]

1. the NFLN coverage was even worse than the Steelers played....JFC was that bad.

2. welcome to the club, DHB....see ya Brown and Moye

3. didn't see Mauro...if he didn't play, that's good for him.....

4. McCullers did well.

5. lotsa venom for Bryant, but I think he'll be ok....

6. the word is suck....a giant congealing pool of suck....that covers everything about this "game" pretty well.

That Bryant kid does not attack the ball.

On the one play two defenders were all over him with good position, no elevation on the ball by Gradkoeski.. Despite what the broadcaster said jumping wouldn't have made a difference. Bryan's only chance there would've been an un-flagged pushoff. I would like to see the QB throw higher to him and take advantage of his height.

Cheech. & Chong are putting some nice runs together.

Nice! I've dubbed them the doobie brothers . . .

 

[steelerscotty]

My take:

Offense-the doobie brothers looked good, Grakowski looked better. Ben looked terrible, oline gave up too much pressure, other than AB the receivers didn't play well except for DHBs TD.

Defense-pathetic. Troy made a good veteran play. Too many penalties especially on third downs.

Special teams-Suisuims missed fg was fugly.

NFL networks coverage-worst I've ever seen.

Refs-if this is how the NFL wants games called they are going to lose a lot of fans.

Overall-its only preseason so I don't want to read too much into it. Our run defense concerns me. I hope its just because we are playing vanilla on defense. Where was lance Moore? Iggles look like one of this years top teams. I believe we are not as bad as we looked tonight nor are we as good as we looked vs bills last week. Fact is we are capable of being both stellar and pathetic=inconsistent.

Note to coach T-keeping starters in just to score on your oppents 2nd and 3rd stringers prooves nothing and accomplishes nothing and only exposes them to injury needlessly.

that was the most embarrassing part of the whole game. Not to mention, their 2nd and 3rd string scored at will on our first string D.

 

[Steelers1356]

oline gave up too much pressure

Ben in the sandlot just made it look that way. He's actually getting time in the pocket, and the receivers need to help too with separation. And aren't there any quick dink and dunk pass plays in our playbook?

 

[tapeANaspirin2it]

This team has zero pass rushers. All they have is a bunch of guys who need to be schemed up to get pressure. Defeating a block on their own? Forget it.

Worilds is OK. Heyward is good for a 3-4 DE but not a great pass rusher overall. The rest are subpar pass rushers who need Lebeau to magically come up with a way to get them a free shot.

Troy Polamalu is probably the 2nd best pass rusher on this team.

Steelers should trade with the Eagles for either Vinny Curry or Brandon Graham. Both are backups and they just spent a 1st rounder on Marcus Smith to push them both further down the depth chart.

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

I saw some bad football, and ****** coverage by nfl network.
Eagles got it going on.
I thought heyward got pushed around pretty bad.
I think the whole defense looked apathetic. No sense of urgency. Usually in preseason some guys are busting humps to make the team. That's not what I saw.
Looked like they were going thru the motions. McCoy made us look BAD.. or maybe it was their offensive line...
Anyone could have told Bryant what he was doing wrong tonight. he looked amateurish.

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

This team is fat , sloppy and soft, a direct reflection of the con man HC, been saying it for years.

franco. You have a right to your opinion. Im open to listening to your thoughts on our offensive line,,, Our offensive coordinator, The tight ends too. You seem to be an ardent fan, and that's appreciated. What isn't appreciated,, is hearing negatives over and over when we cant change one thing about the team. Please consider it.

 

[SteelerSask2]

Here is what I saw at least for the first half. The defense played well enough to only be down at most 10 points at halftime. Somewhat due to drive sustaining penalties under the new rulebook which is ridiculous in my mind. The offense looked exactly as it did when they came out 1-4 last season. Why because they had the exact same tempo as last year. Why is Haley still here when they can only have success with no huddle?

The Oline has been a shambles since the con man took over. For all his bullshit and talking points he does not believe in a physical team and realizing the game is won in the trenches not on splash plays and getting weapons to protect the QB. Tomlin is a low IQ mouthpiece who has been exposed as Cowhers great players aged and retired. Get used to 8-8 under this idiot because they may be the good old days as the team further erodes under his helm.

 

[Steel Ballin]

You forgot the "owning what we put on tape" part.

lol...nailed it.

 

[Wingman]

I've waited and never commented...until now. Jarvis sucks. Would James Harrison really be a worse alternative?

Not even if he had a broken leg and a glass eye.

 

[Wingman]

"At this stage of the journey this performance was unfortunate to say the least. We’ll see where we are and evaluate the situation because the standard was not met. What’s paramount is we play fast, we play hard and we play with urgency so we establish our game. Obviously we have some things to work on so we will go back to the lab and look for a definitive answer to ensure continuity. Obviously, we will have to redouble our efforts so what we can move toward the pinnacle of our expectations. We will make some calculated moves toward making our physical efforts move rewarding in a managed sense."

I just made that **** up so now you dont have to watch Tomlin's post game.

Pure ******* instant classic Karma

 

[Wingman]

That Bryant kid does not attack the ball.

He'll fit right in Jarvis doesn't attack the other teams offense

 

[thumbring]

Can we also please get a real punter? and kicker?

 

[Spike]

Even our punter and kickers are soft and weak....just line the DL & OLB's

can't stop the run, can't run the ball...oh yeah - this is gonna be fun.


We're really gonna need those 30 points a game Ben....git er done

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

. Get used to 8-8 under this idiot because they may be the good old days as the team further erodes under with him at the helm.

fixed it for you.

ok so I get that you don't like our offensive line,, and then more of that one record that you been spinning. I don't like what I see from the team after last night. It makes me wonder what they are doing up there in Latrobe.

But im not going to harp on your con man in every thread. He's not off the table ,, I just am not going to bash him and Jarvis in every thread I write.

 

[Franco]

What do we do well under Tomlin ?

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

Well our offense isn't doing terrible ,,, going back to the last 18 games last year ,, they were doing well. Pre season so far,, not so much.

 

[Bigappleyinzer]

What do we do well under Tomlin ?

What does this ***** even mean?

Guess what? The Vikings run the ball REALLY WELL! Guess what that has led them to?

Jeff Fisher has a REALLY GOOD defense! Guess what that has led them to?

Chicago has one of the best WR corp in the league! You get the point.

Its about being good in all facets of the game. Not striving for perfection in any 1 area.

 

[Franco]

We suck at special teams, Oline,clock management, situational football, consistently come out flat and lose to bad teams, our running game has sucked under him, our defense has gotten progressivelly worse AGAIN what do we do well under Tomlin ? We don't strive for perfection in any one facet we are below the line in most categories.

 

[bigtwnvin]

What do we do well under Tomlin ?

Tomlin talks too much. I can't imagine what its like in the locker room. I guess the Rooney's are happy with the results. I am of the opinion that too much talking spoils the message and loses focus.
Maybe Mike Tomlin should tryi eliminating about half of what comes out of his pie hole.
Couldn't hurt.

 

[Roy92040]

What happened to the guy who was going to be rookie of the year?

 

[Spike]

What happened to the guy who was going to be rookie of the year?

Shazier?

he was lost like a babe in the woods.....evidently this Steelers defense has never seen a screen pass before
