Steelers at Broncos

The penalties are brutal for a team like the Steelers that have very little margin for error on offense. If they were up 21-0 at the half the entire 2nd half is pretty much garbage time against ths Broncos team. As it stands now Denver is very much still in the game.

Thought Washington showed some nice hands on the TD catch.
 
It would appear that the problem all along has been Michael Tomlin and not Kenny Pickett. Paint drying is truly more exciting.
Justin Fields has elite physical talent, but he is not the level of QB that Pickett was for Pittsburgh. That said, he is supposed to be the backup and not on the field. The offense has more to do right now with the QB than anything else. It is hard when you have a guy that is limited back there.
 
Sean Payton not trying for an onsides kick is puzzling ... he just basically waived the flag on this game barring a last second miracle.

I might be in the minority but I thought Fields played well.
 
Man. The Steelers are lucky they’ve played two of the worst teams in the league. This is a bad team
They played two of the worst offenses in the league. The Steelers offense is not much different than the last two years.

Throw short to the sidelines and chuck a ball up to Pickens now and then and either hope he makes a circus catch or they call PI

So maybe the problem wasn’t KP but is the guy the media fawns over because he’s maintained mediocrity for a decade

Maybe. But right now, the Steelers are 2-0, with their backup qb. Meanwhile, Baltimore and Cincinnati are both 0-2, with 2 of the top qb’s in the league, including last season’s MVP. They must be doing something right.

Excellent assessment, Russell Wilson won’t do any better because it’s the coaching staff. Fire a bum to bring in another to run the offense.

That made no sense. I mean sure, on side kicks are pretty much never recovered by the kicking team any more. But how was it better to kick it deep, assume your defense would hold, and then essentially play for either a punt return touchdown or a ten lateral pass play touchdown?

And in the end, what they ended up with field position and time-wise when they got the ball back was probably right around what they would have ended up with had they on side kicked and not recovered.

Dumb decision.

Let’s revisit their record when they are done playing soup cans. The Pirates were above 500 earlier this year too

There just isn't enough talent on offense.

We'll probably get to see the other QB next week now that he doesn't have to get his feelings hurt by boo birds in Denver. Maybe that will help.
If you think he actually has a calf strain that has limited him-
I don’t know what to say .
Dude doesn’t want to play or practice .
But it was a very low risk prop for the stillers

Looks like same offense to me only QB can run and Friermuth healthy so far getting them a few more first downs.
Starting to think Wilson is done...
 
Steelers still seem to think Najee Harris is something special. Surely they can find someone with some quickness. Harris looks like he should be a third-string RB.
