Steelers - Raiders game thread. #ImmaculatelyNumb

Geez, I guess I'm kind of sad I spent the day framing in a wall in my basement.
 
How many backups can you have ready when you lose Watt, Haden, Alualu, Bush all at once. All Pro bowl caliber guys if not actual pro bowlers. Spillane looks ok against the run but is a travesty against the pass. If Bush misses next week we have to go with Johnson sink or swim. Schobert is good in coverage but not as fast as we needed against a stud like Waller. Being at the game I truly feel we win this if we don’t lose those guys.

It was also hot as **** there today. I smell
like I just played.
Backups should be ready no matter what. Isn’t that why they go to practice? Isn’t that why coaches coach?

Yeah replacing pro bowlers is easier said than done. Injuries are part of the game and maybe there should be a next man up mentality in case of injuries.
 
Ebron should be the #2 right now. Chase Claypool needs to have the **** knocked out of him several times a practice, maybe that will toughen him up...........(J/K but you get my drift on the **** knocked outtA him).

Matt Canada needs to be a little more agressive and actually use the play action and then hit the RB just past the line as he is open a lot. The "fake" play action isn't selling anyone.

ALSO How come the STEELERS can't exicute a dang screen play legitimately ???? WHY I ask oh why ????




Salute the nation

Sure but how many next man ups are you going to realistically have in the era of the salary cap. 4 main guys? Sorry it would have been a miracle to overcome that on the defensive side. In fact I would say they did as well as could be expected considering the circumstances. Has the offense found any rhythm we would have probably won.

Eh it’s only week 2. I’d just like to see the offense find a rhythm.
