Steelers @ Jacksonville

[south dakota STEEL]

Ben admitted he targeted Brown on the late deep ball in order to keep Brown's 5rec/50yd streak going. Unfuckingbelievable.

Agree. that's is ******* bullshit. Ben is NOT good enough to be trying to give his receiver a gimme.

WIN the ******* game first! Not a fan of offense, nor Ben. He comes and goes. Would love to see them play a game that was about the TEAM!


so tired of this monkey **** bullshit.

1 targets..Browns streak ended but he had his chances. He wasn't as sure handed as he normally is.

End of discussion.

JJ you call him out for lying then post a link that backs up exactly what he said.

Good god man are you dense. Ben is subtle in calling it a run play to not DIRECTLY call his idiot coach a liar.

“The line was run-blocking all the way, so it’s not like you can drop back and throw a pass,” Roethlisberger said. “If you want to call that a run-pass option, I guess it is. But it’s pretty much a run, and we have to believe that we can get that when it’s called.”

Good points. And did anyone notice that the "******" TB team went in to N.O. and almost upset the Saints? They put up 31 points on em.

You mean they almost beat the 1-3 saints? Color me impressed.

The point was that TB is CAPABLE of putting 31 points on an NFL team.

The point was that TB is CAPABLE of putting 31 points on an NFL team.

We also know that NO. is CAPABLE of giving up 31 points in any game. They gave up 37 to Atlanta and 38 to the cowgirls. Plus their offense didn't put up 31 points. See I actually watched the game and know that TB picked off a pass for 7. So the offense scored 24 points which is 3.5 less than NO. gives up per game this year.

Wait .. the score was 37 - 31 N.O. right? But somehow TB didn't actually put up 31 points because the defense scored once. Well hell, I guess I've been watching these games the wrong way all these years. Defensive scores don't really count. Got it. So, in a team game, the whole team's contributions don't count when evaluating whether or not the team performed well as a team. Which I would say that the defense didn't actually do their part because N.O. scored 37 points, but who knows what other little fine points I've been misled about all these years. And as far as putting up 24 points as an offense, well that's just terrible. To end up scoring 3.5 points less than what N.O. usually allows? Despicable. Shows a total lack of talent on that team.

 

[JJ_Steel]

Does Tampa losing make our loss to Tampa any better ?

I hope you aren't suggesting that TB isn't so bad in an effort to somehow justify that the Steelers lost to a clearly inferior team.

What else do they have?

No, the TB offense didn't put up 31 points. Take it for what it is. You acted as if you thought the offense scored 31. Probably because you didn't watch the game. At the end of the day TB is 1-4 and their only win is against the Steelers in Heinz field. That's all that matters. But you want to break it down into how many points they scored at NO. When I break it down too much for you then you don't like that. Tampa Bay is 1-4 and gave up 37 points. They suck. Jax sucks and haven't won a game yet. But keep trying to suggest that these horrible teams aren't that bad.

Jesus ... does everyone around here have their panties in a bunch about something? If that's what I was saying, I would have said it exactly that way. But, I didn't say it that way. Sooooooo .... no. To borrow a favorite saying of Idioteque's .. This board has changed. Everyone on here is looking for an excuse to jump on someone and go ape **** about a post. It seems like there are two factions going at it; "Tomlin Haters" vs. "Tomlin Nutsackers" and every one of y'all is dissecting any and every post so that you can label the poster as one or the other. Cannibalism

Does someone else pissing their pants make crapping yours any better? Of course not. Stupid question.

No. It's just that anyone who digs any deeper than "Go Steelers, it'll all work itself out" is bitched at and grappled with to the point that it's tiring just to discuss football.

 

[antdrewjosh]

Gotta actually watch the games to discuss football

Well, it's pretty simple really. Not everything about this team is "sunshine and roses" and not everything is "a steaming pile of donkey ****". They have yet to put together a good game in every aspect. Hell, they have yet to put together a good HALF in every aspect. That includes coaches and players. Yet, they have somehow managed a 3-2 record at this point. I'll take it because I have to.
Of course there's more to it than what I just wrote, but discussing the why's and wherefores of the losses and wins shouldn't be this damned hard.

Look, I got no dog in this fight. Fire Tomlin, keep Tomlin, I couldn't care less. I simply read your post, and could find no other reason for posting that TB put up 31 on another NFL team. If what I asked wasn't your point, what was?

My point was that any team is capable of putting up a lot of points in this league at any time, even TB. ....
does that make our loss to them acceptable? Hell NO!

Just admit you have nothing, dude.

Dude doesn't count as name-calling

So if any team is capable of putting up a lot of points then why is losing to them unacceptable?

Ya know he is.

They? I know this may be hard for some to believe, but just because somebody is giving a different opinion doesn't make them a Tomlin "nut hugger", or a Tomlin "hater" either. This drawing a line in the sand bullshit is childish as Hell. I enjoy reading the opinions of others (Including yours believe it or not.), even those I disagree with completely when it is about the subject at hand.

When was the last time a thread went a couple pages without a discussion about Tomlin even if he has zero to do with the thread subject? We can talk about facets of the team without him being a part of it. I'm not bitching about people bitching before you go there. Frankly this board has been in a steady decline for a while now. It's become toxic regardless of where you stand on any issue. It's too bad because I've made some great friends here over the years, unfortunately that group is disappearing more and more. Back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Then why bring up a Tampa loss to try and make our horrible loss more palatable tough guy ?

He is too much a Tomlin lover for the post to be anything more than trying to mitigate another disastrous loss by his idiotic idol.

You sir are an imbecile. The Steelers won today for one. Two, I was as pissed at Tomlin as anyone last week. Three, I was also pissed about the Coordinators and the players. Last week was a total **** up on all levels. One for which I stated that Tomlin as the HC bore the ultimate responsibility. And you are aware that I stated this because you responded in the same threads.

The problem with you "Haters' and "Nutsackers" is that you can't conceive of a fan who is neither one nor the other. It limits your perceptions.
