STEELERS,,,,,,,,,, Wildcard Game Day Thread

Bigger sigh...

 

[6Rings]

Right before they snapped it, I told my wife that this is a bad idea.

 

[suncitysteel]

Empty backfield allowed Buf to key in on all the pass routes. I would’ve run a play action there.

 

[TDX27]

Oh well. Great drive and then a terrible interception. That's a killer. We needed a TD bad right there. Terrible throw by Rudolph.

One question that has never been answered by the Tomlin apologists on this forum, if any are left, is this:

Why are any set of players that this staff has developed (Cowher players in 2008-2010 don’t count) so _completely_ unprepared for playoff games? It’s systematic, predictable, and painful to watch.

I’m still hoping for a turnaround but this game looks a lot like the other Steeler playoff games that I’ve watched over the past 12 years so far.

Answered many times. He gets teams into the playoffs that are not playoff teams. Or are very undermanned like having no ILB’s and your best OLB out. It is a product of his ability to win games even when we might be better off losing in the long run.

get a TO or game over.

DJ has to block out the DB and come back to the ball. That was lazy and cost us a pic

 

[6Rings]

I told everyone that the Steelers can beat Buffalo, but I do not trust that coaching staff.

 

[slashsteel]

that play is why I never liked Rudy

in the red zone he is dangerous

I mentioned before about his inability to thread the needle in the red zone. He actually does better further away.

Tomlin?

Do they have a backup "stare blankly and look confused" guy?

If so, you bet! Give him a look.

 

[madinsomniac]

To be fair, our red zone passing game is so pathetic, Im not sure a hybrid of Joe Montanna and Patrick Mahommes could run it

 

[Gildong Sack]

If we don't get a D stop that pick was the back breaker.

 

[bermudasteel]

Exactly. INT on DJ - he should have boxed Elam out...

 

[SteelerFan448]

Looked like that was on DJ. He didn't come back for the ball. Just let the DB cut in front of him.

Rudolph threw it inside. That's on the QB.

 

[wig]

2 turnovers, could a been 3.

Looooong day.

 

[BLITZ]

DJ played that extremely weak. he has to fight for it

 

[Misstha70’s]

Ok Josh throw an Int

 

[TimesHaveChanged]

Let's go D

 

[SteelBuckeye]

Exactly. INT on DJ - he should have boxed Elam out...

DJ's little *** plays scared of contact. He ain't blocking anyone out. smh

 

[Paul G]

Yabba dabba doo doo ....... INT

 

[wig]

Look at Porter on the end of that play. They've given up.

 

[SteelerInLebanon]

Come on defense. We need you.

 

[tapeANaspirin2it]

that should have been taunting on Diggs

 

[slashsteel]

D is playing as soft as ever.

 

[Misstha70’s]

Zero pressure on qb
