Week 5 Game Night Thread -Steelers Vs Cowboys

[MemphisSteelerFan]

Because he wanted to, it wasn't mandated. The coaching staff should not have allowed it. Russ could have kept drives alive in this game. Fields misses too many reads, too many open guys.

damn, he wanted to do that?? Well crap. I did not know that. What a dumb thing to do at his age. He knows calf injuries can linger for months.

I cannot tell if Fields is the future QB for the next 10 years for PIT or not. He looks good and then he looks like tonight.

Steelers are fortunate to be down by just 3 at this point. They haven't done anything on the offensive side of the ball ...per usual....and Fields isn't throwing the ball well at all.

 

[BLITZ]

Anybody else think the Steelers aren't really trying to score? That's what it looks like to me.
Just run the ball, and if somebody breaks a long one, great. Otherwise, we aren't far enough behind to actually try on offense.

yeah they dont really want to score. you nailed it. that should fix the offense.

 

[Steelersfan84]

Only Steelers can be +2 in turnovers at halftime and still losing.

Unbelievable

 

[BLITZ]

I blame Russ.

to easy. Tomblin should have felt it coming

Welp.....bottom line 3 points in a half again. How many times in the last 4 years do we have 7 or under in the first half. It’s ridiculous. I mean how much of a difference has a new OC Made on the scoreboard.

We all know what the common denominator is

 

[Chicoman]

88 total yards of offense against a Cowboys Defense that is decimated @ home is nothing short of pathetic from our offense! It almost feels like they have no cofidence in Justin Fields......this all started when the Steelers ran a run play to the short side of the field on 3rd & 8 for a 3 yard gain. I'm a little confused as to who to blame here for this performance but it's nothing short of pathetic! I do think this is more of a play-calling issue than it is Justin Fields but it's really bad! I've seen enough Najee Harris to last a lifetime....he just has no speed! I think you could put a DL back there and hand it off to him and he'd have a bigger burst of speed than Najee!

 

[bermudasteel]

bermudasteel called it. He said we needed an apple turnover and thank goodness Dak obliged. Too bad we cant get any points off of it but it did keep them from scoring.

$60M per year sports fans and he threw that pass. WOW

I can't take the credit - it was @Pittsburgh Charlie

 

[BurghThing]

no not really, plus Najee does have the tendency to dance just a little if the hole isnt open and it kills his momentum because he cannot accelerate like Jaylen can.

And lets be honest, when Najee is in there, DAL stacks the box and some of the time is waiting in the backfield for him. That is because they do not fear Fields' arm at all right now.

I fear Fields arm right now

 

[Steelr4evr]

Well we're still in it because of the defense. The 89 total yards by offense isn't going to cut it. I hope another offense comes out in the second half.

 

[Shane Falco]

Fields needs to settle dahn and let the game come to him. Guys are open. The chunk plays will come. Just move the sticks

 

[black and gold apex]

That defense seems lost in the secondary Dallas has had to many receivers wide open. Dallas has driven down the field three series in a row Luckly a fumble and interception keeps us in the game. Let Fields play please, receivers please one of you get open. We cannot sustain drives that are 70-80 yards , with three yards here and two there and always third down.

 

[Gildong Sack]

I cannot tell if Fields is the future QB for the next 10 years for PIT or not. He looks good and then he looks like tonight.

He probably felt he had to condition himself really well as far as leg strength to break tackles when he runs. Worried about the threat from the young running QB to his job....now he really has to worry. Dude could be starting and Fields learning. Good job Russ.

 

[Troglodyte]

What Tomlin said is what Mike McCarthy should be saying. Dallas is the one shooting themselves in the foot with turnovers and keeping the Steelers in it. This game could easily be 20-3.

Tomlin sucks, he sucks, he sucks so bad!

 

[CoolieMan]

need a few play action shots down the middle to your big TE

 

[Gildong Sack]

to easy. Tomblin should have felt it coming

The ebb and flow? That's certainly a component of it...obviously.

 

[bermudasteel]

I know people hate it but I would use them both when healthy.

Exactly. I think have both available and interchangeable would really open the offense up...

 

[SteelerInLebanon]

no not really, plus Najee does have the tendency to dance just a little if the hole isnt open and it kills his momentum because he cannot accelerate like Jaylen can.

That’s why we should be throwing to him far more than we do. It would make them have to respect different options.

Lol he is NOT the qb for the next 10 years, I can promise you that.

 

[Steelersfan84]

Wtf was that?

 

[bermudasteel]

Why is Wheat not ejected???

 

[Super Dave]

Awesome scheme

 

[Steelmann]

The QB has made some bad decisions tonight. We have killed drives on penalties and fumbles. All that said we are only down 3 and Smith has shown half time adjustments that work in some games.

I agree with what you say Leb. But no matter what. With all the injuries to top players of Dallas we get 3 points. I don’t want to stay in that middle of the road tier again. We want a step up. It just isn’t happening.
3 points.

 

[Phinnster]

He should get ejected for that.
