Steelers VS Buffalo game thread# go Kenny!

[jiminoh]

Pittsburgh Dad should be awesome this week.

 

[Ironcitysteelers]

What's amazing is how good Pickens is and Mitch hardly ever threw him the ball.

Not sure he played as much?

 

[Chicoman]

Have the Steelers even thrown over the middle of the field today? I don't recall seeing a throw over the middle.

 

[Sarge]

Pickett > Mitch. Unfortunately this team has a whole lot of other problems.

Like that was a high bar to get over.

It wasn’t a catch… hand’s don’t count…

1. secures control of the ball in his hands or arms prior to the ball touching the ground; and
2. touches the ground inbounds with both feet or with any part of his body other than his hands; and
3. after (a) and (b) have been fulfilled, performs any act common to the game (e.g., tuck the ball away, extend it forward, take an additional step, turn upfield, or avoid or ward off an opponent), or he maintains control of the ball long enough to do so.

 

[Booted]

Wonder what the rule is, why wouldn't the hand count as a foot?

He catches the ball like he has feet for hands,

 

[Paul G]

Obvious catch by Pickens and Tomlin doesn't challenge. He has definitely given up on his team. A foot and a hand equals a catch.

A player must “secure control of the ball” before the ball touches the ground (though it can touch the ground if it's secure in the hands) The player must touch both feet or any part of his body other than his hands inbounds (this is different than college rules, which only requires one foot)Jan 9, 2021

not sure anything has changed on that rule

 

[Ironcitysteelers]

Man. I’m looking forward to Coach’s insight in multiple different threads this week.

 

[Shane Falco]

Wow, the wind just knocked that ball almost straight down

 

[SteelerInLebanon]

Late hit on a defense player on the ground?

 

[Ironcitysteelers]

Wow, the wind just knocked that ball almost straight down

What happened? We go for another FG?

 

[Shane Falco]

Why did they not challenge that.....and another drop ffs

They need to save their timeouts for that possible miracle comeback in the 2 minute drive

 

[madinsomniac]

Romo makes a point about Claypool’s routes… which i was hoping would be fixed when ike Hilliard got replaced… apparently we just don’t teach fundamentals

 

[tapeANaspirin2it]

nothing authentic about that

you probably eat it with rice also

what else would i eat it with, spaghetti?

 

[jitter77]

Sure Pierre that INT would have made a huge difference

 

[CoolieMan]

what else would i eat it with, spaghetti?

anything but butternut squash

 

[Booted]

Late hit on a defense player on the ground?

Per NFL rules.: Any defenseless player being hit while simultaneously wearing a combination of black and gold colors on his uniform is legal.

 

[FordFairLane]

Who else is going to get blackout drunk?

NE is winning 29-0 with their 3rd string rookie QB

 

[madinsomniac]

So now that we are down big we are blitzing

One player burns us one time on a bad angle by a player and we totally go limp on D…

 

[Steelmann]

As much as you guys a lot of you hate Romo,he actually is one of the few that will point out mistakes and show it. That Claypool replay was spot on. He does this frequently. I bet you his hands are tied,but he could probably point out dozens of these a game. I’ve always thought he has a good insight of the game as a commentator

 

[CoolieMan]

Who else is going to get blackout drunk?

;what if we already are

 

[tapeANaspirin2it]

Wonder what the rule is, why wouldn't the hand count as a foot?

I'd guess that it's an extension of the logic that you can put your hand down while running and you're not ruled down. It the hand doesn't make you down by contact then it follows that it should not be allowed to count as a "foot" down to make a reception.

Coaching doesn’t matter.

 

[Roy92040]

Claypool is a wonder. Don’t we have a receiver coming off the IR soon?
