Steelers vs. Raiders - Week 5 Game Day Thread

[SteelerFan448]

The Steelers can't be content scoring field goals and then have the defensive front 7 get physically beat and dominated on the ground.

We need Highsmith back...

They still have 10 of their 11 starters out there and the Raiders still just marched right down the field.

The Raiders have a ton of injuries as well.

It's just more of the standard we've become accustomed to.

 

[Steelersfan84]

No receivers and the backup QB and we are letting the Raiders run all over us.

But isn't this the classic "Tomlin should have won" game?

 

[SteelerSask2]

Just embarrassing. What happened to this once proud franchise?

 

[MemphisSteelerFan]

way too easy. Never even made LV face a 3rd down. Steeler Defense has been exposed. Everyone saw what. DAL did last week.

So maybe we can score another FG.

Why not? ****, we're content with 3-8 in the postseason in 13 years.

 

[SteelerInLebanon]

Ready for Russ. He scores TD’s.

Raiders OL is not good. They have Aiden O'Connell at QB, journeyman Mattison at RB and their top 2 WRs are out. Still they had a dynamic opening drive that mixed up the steelers and got the ball to Bowers in the pass game.

Watch what the Raiders do with Bowers and then ask why the Steelers don't get anything out of Freiermuth when he's clearly the #2 target on the team.

 

[SCSteeler4life]

10 play drive with zero 3rd downs. One of the highest paid D's in the league.

The stat said the steelers have the fewest missed tackles in the league. I find that hard to believe

They don't count rolling at someone's feet or pushing at the ball as an attempted tackle

We better figure out how to stop the run to the left real quick. Check that. We need to stop the run right up the gut...

 

[MemphisSteelerFan]

and here come the penalties.

 

[Steelmann]

Wow everyone needs to rewatch that TD play for the Raiders and focus on Patrick Queen! The guy simply doesn't belong!

I was so pumped when he signed. I focus on him all the time. He’s playing horrible.

[Avoid_Lloyd]

I get giving up stuff in the flat and short passes is part of Tomlins defensive scheme of bend don’t break but the bad run defense is unacceptable. Put someone else in the box to help the backup olb

 

[SteelerInLebanon]

Offsides?

Tomlin

 

[Steelmann]

Did you see Washington getting manhandled by Crosby there?

 

[bermudasteel]

******* George.

 

[MemphisSteelerFan]

the defense no matter who it is IS NOT SCARED OF JUSTIN FIELDS' ARM. So they just stack the box and sell out and go into our backfield.

The defense is okay with living with living with Fields passing.

and right on cue-- 3 and out. Beautiful.

 

[tapeANaspirin2it]

Why not blitz the steelers every play? They have no answers. You're not going to get beat over the top.

 

[SteelerInLebanon]

Russell time I am telling you. We need a lift.

 

[KentuckySteeler]

All you do is load the box and you'll only have to win 2 downs against Tomlick's outfit because 1 of the down will be a hand off up the middle to Harris for no gain.

Make this stupidity stop.

 

[Djfan]

Do we have negative yards at this point?

 

[madinsomniac]

Pickens head is out of the game
