Week 5 Game Night Thread -Steelers Vs Cowboys

I am confident of two things.

1. This is Mike Tomlin’s defensive scheme.
2. This is Mike Tomlin’s offensive scheme.

Our OC and DC are there in name only.
This. We never use the middle of the field. This is still Tomlin’s bullshit offense. Every first down is hard fought by the nose of the ball. Can’t win games this way. D is always going to wear down at the end.
 
Next week starts the Wilson era. We are still in first. The haters will hate and harumph. It is what they live for.
And the blind will continue to not see the light. You’ve e been saying the same BS for 5 years. No hate here. Our defense gave up over 400 yards. Our Offense did nothing as usual. It’s kind of the same old,same old. We have absolutely no idea who our QB will be at the end of the year. Yet you have to call people haters. It’s called disappointment. If there was ever a time to smoke Dallas with all their injuries this was it. Haters. Get your head out of your *** and actually watch the game. It was a disgrace.
 
I cant believe no one is saying the defense lost this game, they are the goats. We had the lead twice and they allowed every series since the first Dallas series to go right down the field. Piss poor tackling, coverage was not good. Yes, we got a block kick, fumble and two interceptions. Big deal when you still did not get off the field with long drives and to many third downs made. Make sure we blame Fields.
Sure defense could have won the game but they were dirt tired and playing a nobody at OlB. Kid was lost as hell out there. Offense kept them tired by not keeping the ball.
 
No poor QB play killed us. No mistaking that.
Defense needed one stop. Just keep them out of the end zone and they couldn’t do it. I’ll give them credit for making it close, but they didn’t have a good game.
 
I would put money on it. Why do you think he never named Fields the guy.
Exactly, you're just talking out of your ***, you don't have a clue who is starting next week, nobody does
 
They gave up 20 and the offense did them no favors. They were down to their 4th string OLB again. Highsmith is a better run defender and we miss him.
I hear ya. Yes, the D is banged up but no more than DAL's defense.

Some dude named Dowdle, who I read averaged 33 yards per game rushing before tonight, just ran roughshod against us in the 2nd half and caught a 22 yd TD pass.

Both sides of the ball contributed to this. The defense did give the ball back to the offense 3 times and blocked a FG and all the offense could score was 17, BUT if you have such the elite defense that everyone keeps saying we do, then 17 with 3 takeaways and a blocked FG should have been enough. They started at their own 30 and had to have a TD and they went through our D like a hot knife through butter until the last 4 yards. The defense **** the bed. Offense handed it to them and they **** the bed. They simply are not as good as folks think they are.

Now DAL has saved their season and is energized and ready to get Parsons back while we have screwed the pooch and lost a home game to a mediocre team.
 
Rex Ryan was saying today that tonight was when JFields was going to take over the league and become a superstar. Thanks Rex. what. a stupid prediction.

But even as bad as Fields has been, he put up 17 points at home. The defense is just paper tigers. Frauds as its being said. Maybe its injuries. I dont know but DAL got its $60M worth tonight getting a road win vs a 3-1 team. Just wish PIT could get what it pays for on defense. That was just atrocious.
Could be all fools gold for sure!

We haven’t had good QB play for 5 years basically. Coincidence? I think not. Now we have a patchwork young O Line and a banged up defense on the edge. Certain posters are absolutely haters as they never have a positive thing to say and some only show up when we lose. Not everyone who complains is a hater. But those that never say a damn positive thing and only complain are.
 
While Fields didn’t win the game, he wasn’t the reason for the loss.

This loss falls squarely on the shoulders of the D. They were handed the lead TWICE, and gave up the lead BOTH times.
 
.

Probably should’ve been a 3-score win for Dallas. Dak lost his mind on a couple of those turnovers.
Beanie for one isn’t the answer. Have to be a better corner out there.

But they still gave the O a lot of opportunities . 17 points is substandard.
 
The defense gave up 450 yrds...Yes they had timely plays but those were gifts from Dak. The defense could not stop them all game

The O still had opportunities. 3 points at the half just isn’t good enough no matter how you want to draw it up.
 
Called out the OL to block better and called out 14 to be act like the number 1 he claims to be!!

Also commented how we start slow and it burns the F out of us.
Been the same story for years. Nothing ever changes. Outside of a few years when Munch was the OL coach, our OL has been human turnstiles. We come out slow because we can’t game plan to save our lives. If we actually practice or script our first 10-15 offensive plays, I would be shocked.

Which line? We have started a different one each week. That may be an issue. And one the coaches can’t really help.

Yes, yes poor Mike Tomlin…if only he ever had a hall of fame QB to coach, surely he would have won more than 3 playoff games in 10 years…oh wait…

Who bragged about “getting their guy” when he drafted Pickett??

But you be you homer
