Steelers Texans game thread.

6/10 for 16 yds SMH

 

[Lambert58]

Every pass is short. Completely playing scared.

What's great about this, the Houston is far worse off on OL than the Steelers so you can't give the offense a pass for that. Scheme matters.

 

[bermudasteel]

One TD and we are back in it. Who got the ball first

We get the ball after half time. Hopefully we can prevent any type of score before that...

 

[Djfan]

At some point you expect your star players and players you pay all that money to to show up..

I get it. And you're right. But, would you be enthusiastic about this scheme?

 

[bermudasteel]

Pickett is averaging 1.8 yards per completion.

Yaaay???

 

[Steelz]

Looks like these referees have their Texans Fandual bets in..

 

[TDX27]

Officials are horrible! Obvious facemasks and chokeholds with 2 arms on Watt are now legal. Interesting.

 

[Gildong Sack]

This is hard to watch. HOU is just gashing us. No problem. I cant tell if Pickett isnt very good or the OLine is atrocious. I think its some of both.

Im sorry, I have absolutely no confidence in this offense or in Kenny. He is either underthrowing a long ball that results in a pick or he is throwing the ball 3 feet over Friermuth's head at the beginning of the game. Other times he is rushed because this terrible OLine cannot keep the defense off of him. They cannot run block. The defensive line knocks them back into the backfield and Najee runs into the back of his center. It all starts with the OLine and they just dont seem up to par.

Go with the easy option and blame Canada...LOL. Yeah, the receivers are not that great either. Without Dionte you have basically a one trick pony with Pickens and then mediocrity behind him. Austin gets lost for long stretches. Not good.

 

[madinsomniac]

Fixed it for ya.

Devin bush has been one of the best coverage Lbs in the league this year and Kendrick Green is playing much better than he did here… maybe it isn’t the players at all

 

[coolshark]

repeat of every coached game. They look unprepared

 

[Hines field]

The only thing that changes this is if no one shows up in the stands at the next home game

Need a defensive score or they're done

Hard when the routes are juvenile at best. Not designed to the weakness of the defense.

 

[Phinnster]

Well our offense can't score, maybe our defense can.

Metchie III - RTR.

That's not changing anything. The seats have already been paid for.

 

[Troglodyte]

LOL! “This doesn’t look right”

 

[Chicoman]

This is a very bad look for Terrell Austin and Shades. Getting punked by a rookie QB and patched up OL with Kendrick ******* Green to boot.
Nice stop here btw!

play calling is so bad I don't think you can properly evaluate anyone on our Offense. You look at Houston's rookie OC and he's started with a quick passing game...3 step drop and throws to offset the Steelers pass rush. Houston has been getting BIG Pressure on Steelers offense but you see no quick passes, 3 step drop and throws....Pickett is dropping back and is a sitting duck! Matt Canada's solution to Houston's pass rush is to run passing routes behind the Line of Scrimmage! BRILLIANT!

 

[Sarge]

I wish the Steelers had an alternate uniform because they are disgracing the ones they’re wearing.

 

[slashsteel]

Ridiculous.

 

[Gildong Sack]

All Steelers receivers are covered. Nowhere to throw it. What’s that tell ya?

Our receivers after Dionte are not that hot.

 

[Paul G]

Can you PLEASE stop putting Canada on the screen. I may break my TV...

 

[MemphisSteelerFan]

Pickett has been the most pressured QB in the league this year despite tge Steelers being one of the lowest blitzed teams… so teams are getting massive pressure without losing anything in coverage

That makes total sense. I dont know if he just cant improvise or if the isnt allowed to improvise, but teams are saying we are going to put a bunch of players up on or close to the line and you arent going to run and we dont believe Pickett can beat us. And although we are 2-1, it seems to be correct. If not for the defensive scoring for PIT, we might not be 2-1 right now,. This offense is terrible.

 

[SCSteeler4life]

Silver lining , I will take as many losses as needed to get rid of coordinators and hopefully the head coach down the road.
