Steelers Lions Game Thread

AGAIN, the pocket collapses because whoever we are playing simply cannot handle their man and that knocked the ball out of Allen's hand. Allen's low take back before passing didnt help either, but the OLine is getting abused.
 
The one thing I will say ,and I know it’s preseason…….when they hired Arthur Smith the reputation was he liked to use his TE’s. Fans in Atlanta disagree. So far in preseason I have barely,barely noticed our TE’s. Where is our huge guy? Where is Pat?
I sure hope in regular season we see them.

Maybe with the improvement of the O line this stuff will be seen more?
 
These Lions fans are acting like this is a playoff game. Relax Detroit fans!
They have no idea how to have a good team. It's been a few generations for them.

He did use the TEs a lot in Atlanta. What they are really complaining about is he didn't feed Kyle Pitts 100 receptions. I read that Pitts led the league on uncatchable balls. Their QBs were awful.

Must be a kick in the nuts for Smith to get stuck with Mariota and Ridder at QB, then he leaves and they bring in Cousins and spend a 1 on Penix.
 
I would say we accomplished what we needed the first quarter and a bit. The backups to the backups are playing and the schemes are dialed back.

See everyone in 15 days 😁
 
GA Tech up 21-14 in the 4th. Game 1 of college football could be an upset of #10 FSU.

Go back and watch last game as well as the first half...no real scheming but #83 and #81 showed some flashes of the TE production to expect...
 
me too, but it would have been pointless with Detroit sitting all their starters. Same with Fields.
I mean I guess it’s a fine line here. It’s one thing if your starting QB gets injured in regular season. It’s another thing completely getting him injured by playing him too long in preseason. Stuff like that could get a coach fired.
 
This is pretty vanilla offensive play calling. No one is going to show their hand in preseason. Just doesn’t happen.
I saw what I wanted…. Good execution by he offense.
Artie will pull out the playbook in Atlanta and you’ll see stuff we’ve not seen before.
Freirmuth will be involved when the real stuff starts.
 
Much better than last week. I'm only looking at the starters. The rest of this game is a wash. Anyone can win.

I fully admit I might have missed something. I’ve nodded off a few times when Pittsburgh has the ball.
They could put the Slogan…we've lulled you to sleep for the last 5 years…. And use that for advertising sleeping pills.
 
Glad that wasn't interference. I wasn't in real football too
 
Our third and fourth guys not too good. They better enjoy it cause it’s about to end for most..
