Why ?
They have no juice .
If the acc was really in the tank - the Miami fumble would have been called down and they would have survived .
Because they are a real football program .
Unc is not
That was so dumb. Not quite Cristobal level dumb, but dumb enough that a reasonably smart 5th grader would have known not to just take a knee three times there.
How hard is this? If you can't run the clock out by taking knees then run the damn ball. If you can run the clock out by taking knees then kneel on the damn ball.
And if you are too dumb to figure it out, hire a ten year old who is good at Madden and listen to what he tells you.
Gonna be honest
I liked taking no chance of a turnover there .
If not for the idiotic formation penalty - would have only left 20 seconds with 7 point lead .
I’m just glad harbaugh made two egregious decisions at the end of each half , to keep it possible for a fg to win the game.
Yeah, you know more than the experts who have harangued him for fleeing a clean pocket.
Clock doesn’t start until the ball is touched by the receiving team.
And … Warren most and foremost in the backfield, with Harris spelling him on every few possessions. Not the opposite. Screw which one was drafted first, or which was not drafted at all. I won’t even blame Harris so much as finally to acknowledge just who is the more effective back behind this inconsistent OL
If I recall correctly, Baltimore actually fired their offensive coordinator about 3/4 of the way through the season they won the Super Bowl. Sounds like something straight out of the NHL.
Agreee, the Steelers offense is predicated on Pickens, Warren and a lesser extent, Pickett making plays. Otherwise it’s anemic.
He has called about a half dozen variations of roll outs to the left the last two games, which is the max total any competent OC would call in an entire season. Like the best a right handed qb can do on that is a three or five yard completion.
Boutique
KPs interview after the game he said that he said Baltimore ran zero earlier in the game for a key play and expected them to do it, and he set the play up.

The OL and playcalling suck and your experts are as dumb as you are. Which is quite a lot. Kenny is saving sacks by getting out of the "clean" pocket that is actually not clean to anyone who watches the fn games

You're not actually proving the point you think you are. If you throw 36 times, the difference between 33% and 25% is three effing plays. And I'm referring to the plays when there IS a clean pocket. Pickett has happy feet, and anyone who has ever watched a game of football knows it. Whipple worked long and hard with this. Watch JT O'Sullivan's recent analysis... and that was by far his best game of the year.
>keeps insisting there are clean pockets
>JT O'Sullivan and his best career season in the NFL of 58.2% completion rate 8TD 11INT 11(!!) fumbles

Yeah, I trust some guy who hasn't been able to look down and see his feet in 20 years over a former NFL QB with a PhD who spends his life directing tape.
I’ll be honest once KP hit GP for the TD I wasn’t worried about some major comeback
The FG iced it even with the mistakes
Baltimore was held to 10 points… I didn’t see them engineering some miracle
An ugly win is still a win.

I think you guys are both right in part. Yes Kenny has fled a few clean pockets and he does have instances with happy feet. It's also true that he is getting pressured a lot and it comes up the middle alot which is causing the happy feet. The poor wr routes also play into everything. How many times did they show today that there was no where to go with the ball? It all goes into the clock in Kenny's head.
These are the types of wins that keeps the OC employed and gets a team to 8-9 wins with no major changes to move the team forward.
Yep. This game could have easily turned out about the same as last week's did. The only difference was the Ravens had a season's worth of self-inflicted gaffes in one game. Otherwise, we lose by 3 touchdowns again.
Our offense can get a touchdown and a couple field goals each week. That's typically it. Any opposing offense operating with even a moderate efficiency will have us put away by midway through the third quarter. I don't know what all of our options are at this point, but continuing to do what is getting you 15 points/game seems like a bad idea.
Yeah, Kenny is killing it. Another 15 offensive points. We're gonna need a bigger boat!
we've already established you are not gonna make it, you don't need to provide further confirmation. now continue to compulsively-obsessively sperg out like you have been for months and months on end with less self-awareness than an amoeba lol
All true… Can’t argue with that… I’m watching Brock Purdy right now. The difference between Brock Purdy and Kenny Picket is:
A rock solid OL
Deebo Samuel
Christian McCaffery
George Kittle
Kyle Shanahan calling the plays.
The QB’s that have played under Canada’s offense have been terrible, not just Pickett (Roethlisberger, Trubisky, & Pickett). Trade Purdy for Pickett and the results would be the same for both teams.
Since Canada has arrived, the offense statistics are abysmal. I truly believe this. Pickett may not become a star under a different OC, but he would play much better.
I deleted what it said, because I don't want to embarrass anybody. But your 9/4/23 bulletin point analysis of Jurkovec... you might want to sit any QB evaluations out for about the next forever years. That was comedy gold.

I don't disagree with that. I think Pickett likely fits the category of playing to the level of situation he is in.
The last good thing Canada did was the 2016 season at PITT
It’s that simple
LSU ? Nah…. Steelers? Nah…
My admittedly way too simple approach to Steelers O/Pickett:
Air it out every down. You cant run. The OL sucks. Najee is horrible and a terrible waste of a 1st Round pick as I said in real time. Kenny is better when he gets "let loose" which explains his game winning drives. Running it on 1st and 2nd down every drive and then completing a 3rd and 8 isn't him. He needs to be in a rhythm. Of course, they only have 1 NFL WR so that's an issue too. Their WR corps are only slightly better than Pitt. Allen Robinson? The eff outta here with that.

Right. It is an issue for KP, but there are a LOT of other issues around him, too.
Ravens WRs are the steelers MVP for yesterday... Pickett is bad, real bad and he actually got good pass protection yesterday.. one good throw to Pickens late in the game doesnt change that..
i dont know what you do, i dont have much confidence in Mitch either. i think you see how Kenny looks one more week with Dionte in the lineup and if nothing improves, you roll with mitch or mason for a month or two and re-group in the off season with a new OC..

Yeah, I'm not saying the whole offense isn't a mess - it definitely is. But to pretend that Pickett doesn't have issues with leaving the pocket too early is madness.
Here is an article where his own quarterback coach mentions it being something they're trying to work on:
https://steelersnow.com/pittsburgh-steelers-kenny-pickett-quarterback-key-skill/
Pass protection means nothing if receivers are not open and Steeler receivers are rarely open.
hopefully Dionte comes back after the bye and helps out. ALlen Robinson has been dissapointing. the fact that we have gunner on a roster tells me more than i need to know about our wr depth.
Do you think one of the problems is the lack of open receivers. The Steeler receivers are blanketed 95% of the time and most of the time they are running 5 yard routes when they need 10 yards.
