There is no way you see these play calls with Matt Canada, have been throwing the ball consistently on 1st down. Most not for huge yards, but 2nd and 4 a hell of a lot better than 2nd and 11.
OT: Steelers Bengals
- Thread starter mlvnsmly
- Start date
In the spirit of criticizing the announcers there’s no way Harvin could’ve had a 69 yard punt against Buffalo this year as they are not on the Steelers schedule.
They’ve been way off on some things, but they’re still better than Tirico and Collinsworth.
Yes it did, they had to kick further back and at the open end of the stadium.
The large majority of people agreed with the call. Blackledge clearly pointed it out too.
Rudolph should start next week whether KP is healthy or not.
They had to kick it from a yard and a half further back. Pushed it all the way back to a 35 yarder, rather than a 33 yarder.
Has managed to throw 4 ints against the Steelers and 2 against everyone else combined.
I agree. No matter how much Pickett recovers with the extra day rest there’s no way his mobility will be what it was.
He’s immensely talented but, has a good deal of growing up to do. I also think all of them were getting extremely frustrated and he just didn’t react well.
It is further back, and it was the open end of the stadium.
Probably reduced the chances of the Bengals making it from 92.3% to 92.1%.
I don't understand how you can be a QB in the NFL today and not know to run hurry up after a questionable call in your favor. You have to know a questionable catch may get reviewed, and Browning is up there taking his time.
Worst signing ever.
I'm also sick of hearing about clowning; now maybe everyone will shut up.
I thought Rudolph’s 315 yard 2 TD performance in the season finale in a losing effort against a Browns team that had to win to make the playoffs a couple years ago was arguably the best game by a Steelers QB in the last 3-4 years.
I don’t think most doubt his ability to throw the ball at an NFL level, he’s just so immobile that he’s not good enough to be a starting QB the way the position is played today. Takes way too many head shots as well, even if he is your starter he will be knocked out within a few games.

I actually predicted this, and said that Mason was the best quarterback on this roster. For the last two years, I’ve been baffled by the fact that he’s had to sit behind two inferior quarterbacks. Mobility doesn’t mean anything if you can’t anticipate throws and you can’t read defenses. Since Mason can do both of those things he can get away with being a ” Immobile quarterback “. I’ve always felt like Mason Rudolph had the ceiling to be like Matt Ryan, if they had a scheme and this game doesn’t surprise me. I’ve called for this for years.
This was the best the OL played all year. Next week will be a much bigger challenge. Props to Rudolph for playing well today.
Then after all the problems, design the offense around his weakness. Why do we (Pitt/Steeler fans) have to wait week after week until the teams get to a third string guy for decent qb play ...mind boggling
I think Pickett should sit the rest of the season, recover fully, learn some things. Then the Stillers can see what progress he makes in camp and if he can start next year. Right now, he's the QB with the most potential while Rudolph is the smart, experienced QB. Neither is really a consistent starter at this point.
It doesn't matter right now. The Stillers will be watching the playoffs from their family rooms or will be playing golf somewhere.

I agree. We all love Kenny, but fair is fair. Rudolph earned it. It's the fair thing to do.
Agreed.
If I were Mike Tomlin, I would start MR the rest of the year. I would draft a deep threat WR in round 1 next year and a OT as soon as I could. I would place Rudolph in the #1 slot at qb, and throw deep balls to Pickens and Whomever, hand off to NH and Warren. I would let Kenny work his a** of next year, and become the cerebral guy he became at Pitt....

I hope they do start Rudy because the Seahawks D is much better than the Bungles. When the offense goes back to being fugly people won’t blame KP
