About how I figured it would go. Our only scoring is FG's.

Not too upset so far.......Some bad calls and bad luck on the floater, but the O only had one punt. Line is holding up, Fields seems to have settled a bit, but the D kinda got gashed last drive. Hopefully an angry TJ comes out

Not a Tomlin defender, but I think it would look different if Wilson was behind center.

The Atlanta Screw Job.
Pickens Pass Int.
Watt offside.
The home bias is disgusting.

Back in high school, we had a kid on the soccer team that had an uncanny sense of timing. He got called offsides all the time because refs couldnt believe he timed things as well as he did... when he graduated, he played overseas because he was that good.
Refs are dimwits and haters way too often
Easy. Easy...
OL is still being worked out. They actually don't look that bad under live fire.
Fields is still very young and missed some open recievers but he hasn't made any boneheaded plays (himself) - some of those play calls are questionable and that's on Coach Smith.
I know I'm usually the optimist here but the TDs will come...
That's what the mute button is for.
Atlanta is pretty much predicted to be a playoff team this year...
Steelers defense plays well and then lets a team march down the field and score at the end of the half? How many times have we seen that?

Turtle ball is living in your fears. The Steeler can play Gun-n-Run ball with GP, Harris and Warren.
O-line is ballin’

Officials have been HORRIBLE! Phantom OPI on GP and 2 offsides calls on the D that the replay showed to be good plays - especially Watts strip sack where they got the TD. That was probably at least a 10-point turn around as we would have been in good field position. And, they refuse to call anything on Atlanta. Obvious holdings with 2 on one play right in front of the official and the obvious tackle and rip-off of Najee's helmet. Those are just a few.
Hopefully, Fields is settled down now. We can't have fumbled snaps. He and Frazier should be on the sidelines practicing snaps and we haven't seen it. He had two wide-open guys that he threw bad balls. GP is uncoverable.

Steelers have Tomlin who equals Jeff Fisher. The offense will always stink if Tomlin is still around. Let's try something new! No head Coach, Tomlin is Head Defensive Coach & let's get an offensive coach who knows how to move the ball! No head coach required....

Isn't this year 4 for Fields? Maybe they just need to let the young man play to his strengths.

He's 11 for 13 and had a perfectly thrown deep ball taken away from Pickens on a bad call. He's relatively settled in and they aren't letting him take any chances.

Not really, I think he beats the defender back inside if not for slipping on the cut at the sideline. I have to question the competency of the equipment staff, the Steelers have been slipping and sliding all over the field in the 1st half. At least 3-4 plays were impacted because of incorrect footwear.
Yet they miss all the holds. The worst being the running play right at TJ watt...

No, it would not.
As bad as the officiating has been, I don't want that to be an excuse.
Dominate on the first drive of the second half and don't look back.
If the zebras continue the BS, well that will be a different story.

Yes they do! Let Justin use the middle of the field and take shots downfield. Playing snail ball will not cut it. Let the kid play!

I know Steeler fan but to be down by one by what we saw from officiating I do not understand ( Hairball would have been voiceless of the calls and not called on Steelers) The couple first down plays for big time loses and no flow in offense not bad. I am surprised no rush and big first down plays the Defense has given up.
You are taking this as me blaming Fields. Fields has been here for one game. I’m not blaming him. I clearly said 4 years a couple times. It’s the system implemented. If you are trying to say they have scored TD’s regularly in the first half in the last 4 years,well I just don’t know what to say. A football hell would be forcing a Steeler fan to watch every first half for the past 4 years. In a padded room.
Of course I hope all that changes for the coming years.
