Week 7 Gamethread

[Fred in Lynn]

Not that we can make a direct correlation, because Miami would have managed the clock differently, but notice we’re already into the time that could have been run off if they hadn’t run that play before the two minute warning.

I’ll stop littering up the thread with this. Tomlin and clock management are a subject that gets me going and makes me envious most of you have BB.

 

[Gash Prex]

Tua making some dangerous throws but his WR bailing him out

edit: and Pittsburgh

 

[Fred in Lynn]

That locked in the FG?

 

[tims4wins]

That locked in the FG?

Same reaction

 

[Fred in Lynn]

Miami marching down the field. Ought to get to the end zone by sunrise.

 

[ernieshore]

Was that the Marlins Man in that line of players? (At a brewery- no audio)

 

[Fred in Lynn]

If I was a hurricane I’d aim straight for that guitar building

 

[Fred in Lynn]

With all due respect to Mr. Shell, his stat line is benefitting from who’s not on the other side of the LOS.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Taste it, Miami.

 

[swiftaw]

Stop giving the ball to Edmonds

 

[shawnrbu]

Coaches are going for it on 4th Down way too much instead of taking 3 easy points.

 

[sodenj5]

I don’t mind going for it. I don’t understand giving it to your least effective offensive player two straight carries when your team isn’t built for getting those dirty yards.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Half the defense holding up their fists even though the fourth down already happened. Heady group.

 

[Remagellan]

The Giants would have taken the FG there. Which is among the reason they are 6-1.

You're playing a rookie QB in what, his second or third start? Just take the points and go up two scores.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Love going for fourth downs, but in this case take the low variance approach against the team with a green as grass Kenny Pickett leading the offense.

 

[SoxinSeattle]

Why bother going up two scores in a low scoring game?

 

[Gash Prex]

weird decision and weird play

Jinx, buy me a Coke!

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

George Lopez is still getting work? Wow.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Son, that's why you play defense.

 

[Ale Xander]

That's why he plays defense

 

[shawnrbu]

16-10 instead of 19-10 is a massive difference.

 

[Fred in Lynn]

I’m still looking for the OPI penalty.

 

[shawnrbu]

Tua needs to get points on this drive.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Tua looks terrible.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

What is Tua doing?

 

[8slim]

I’m not gonna feel bad for this fool when he gets concussed again.

 

[sodenj5]

What is Tua doing?

Trying to win a football game.

 

[Van Everyman]

Tua almost died right there.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

The incomparable NAJEE HARRI$!

 

[shawnrbu]

Tua has run 3 times, twice he took a hard shot short of the first down and the other time he slid short of the first down without a defender nearby. Some poor decision making.

 

[sodenj5]

He slid directly in front of Minkah, and I think he thought he picked up the first already.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Trying to win a football game.

He plays QB, that’s not a play critical to the game much less the season, and he’s not getting that first down.

Discretion is the better part of valor when you’re playing a long season at the most important position. He’s not Lamar or Josh Allen - slide.

 

[8slim]

Is Harris the most overrated RB in the league?

 

[BigSoxFan]

This game started fun and then turned into a rock fight

I don’t disagree with anything you said, however Tua is probably trying to both make plays on a big stage and show everyone he’s physically fine.

He’s looked a bit rusty to me tonight, but he’s been pretty active and mobile.

I hope that isn’t what he’s doing, but you are probably right. He doesn’t need to prove his toughness to anyone.

Although who knows what that dad of his says to him.

 

[shawnrbu]

Number 2 is so plodding. Gets way too many touches.

 

[Justthetippett]

He needs to put a little distance between his concussions or he’s not going to be on the field, ever. Admire his competitiveness but he’s got to smarten up.

 

[BaseballJones]

At time so far Tua has made some nice plays but then at other times he looks like a godawful QB. I can't really figure him out.

 

[mr_smith02]

Is Harris the most overrated RB in the league?

I don't know the answer, but I do know the Lisfranc injury he has is very difficult to recover from, especially as an athlete. I had three surgeries and 14 PT sessions recovering from a Lisfranc injury.

I think Pittsburgh foolishly drafted a RB when their entire interior OL needed to be overhauled.

I don’t think Najee is bad, but everyone knows what’s coming and the Steelers don’t have the line to bully people anymore.

 

[Gash Prex]

Pickett doesn’t seem to have a real plan

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Taste the hell out of it, Miami.

 

[Gash Prex]

That’s like the 3rd dropped INT for Tua tonight

 

[mr_smith02]

Pickett doesn’t seem to have a real plan

Matt Canada and Mike Tomlin are supposed to be the ones with the plan for a rookie QB.

 

[Ale Xander]

Les is more

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Drive this shit all the way home, Kenny!

 

[mr_smith02]

Collinsworth says Steelers never get blown out...they lost the the Bills 38-3 a couple weeks ago.

[JohnnyTheBone]

That's a shit spot.
