I was telling my wife while making a Bloody Mary that I had forgotten to wear my 40+ yrs steeler shirt the last 3 games. I have it on today ..... sooooo
Steelers vs Colts Game thread
- Thread starter 9nationalchampionships
- Start date
Should be Watt/Williams/Williamson/Highsmith. Williams got off the COVID list a few days ago.
I would really like to see them not fight themselves today. They are trying too hard to establish the run. Be who you are. Use the short passing game as a crutch to the running game from the start of the game, then try to get into the run and take some shots down the field.
I am not buying into the narrative that Ben is done; I think he more is in a slight slump and his WRs (Johnson especially) have hung him out to dry recently.
They need to come to play today. Big game.

We were either going to come out today with a renewed energy and focus, or we are going to continue our descent into becoming one of the worst teams in the league. It's only been one series, but...

You get to the point with a guy where maybe he just needs to sit. Johnson has been practicing with the Pitt receivers evidently.
Meanwhile, Claypool, a guy that is incredibly impressive, sits for at least the first two downs ...

Last one was a definite drop, first one and the one to JuJu were nose diving. None of them would have amounted to much even if caught.

It's a miracle this team has won 11 games. If the season started today, we'd be drafting a really good quarterback next year. We are one of the worst five teams in football right now. This version of Ben is no better than Duck Hodges, and the entire team has seemingly gotten soft overnight.
The Edmunds drop obviously the key play there. Guy just never seems to get it done.
Wow. I’m trying to not jump to conclusions, but it looked like they quit on the season against the Bengals, and it looks like it so far today.

You can kind of give the defense a little bit of a pass. Losing 2 starting and productive LB's to injury with average backup quality will effect just about any team. But the offense is a whole different story.
You still have to catch them. I thought the one to JuJu was a very bad pass. Not sure on the first to Johnson though.
If you are going to use the short passing game to supplement the run, you need those plays.
Wasted draft pick The knock on him was he had no football instincts but was a great athlete. He’s shown that so far
Id prefer to say the offense just stinks since the league figured them out and the defense has too many injuries and too much pressure to be perfect since the offense is so bad.
Not saying youre not right though.

That 2nd down running just shows how terrible the line is. It was open and they were just to slow to get downfield and block
And then on 3rd and 1...can't even get any push. So weak, slow and old.

This feels like watching elderly professional wrestlers still trying to step into the ring. Looks like a bunch of frail old men out there.
Villanueva getting handled again today.
Need to force them into a 3 and out or force a TO. If the Colts drive down the field and score a TD, then the bottom is going to fall out.

I swear this is the 3rd time I’ve heard Romo do a Steelers game this year where he’s said “You just can’t keep throwing slants and short passes all the time, the league will catch up to that”. At what point does he realize that’s pretty much all they can do?
Rivers is going to throw a flutter ball pick at some point today, hopefully the game is still competitive by then.

Jim Nantz...that's the first time the Steelers have given up a 1st quarter td this season. They haven't given up a 90 yard TD drive all season.
Today is a day of 1st's.
