They better shore up that shitty D or else Pitt is gonna give up more points than anyone else in the central this year.  42 on your home turf today, 21 last week to the lowly browns in a monsoon.  Not good

Ben wont survive throwing 70 passes a game...not that I care.

You know, all things considered (injuries aside), this week went about as well as we could have ever possibly hoped.

Ben's fine...as long as he can improvise and keep the team in it.

D stinks.
Coaching stinks.

Nothing changed since last season...

You mean like throwing forward touchdown passes after he passes the line of scrimmage? The refs tried to keep the Stealers in it today, but they suck to bad....

[Whatever]

Mahomes had more TD passes than incomplete passes.

Even when the Bengals are ahead of the Steelers Bengal fans complain about the refs....

Didn't watch Tomlin's presser.

I'm guessing he says the offense is fine because of our point total, regardless of how they played situationally.

I'm also guessing it's the players' fault we started slow because they didn't execute. Of the 8-10 slow starts we have every year for the last 12 years, all have been squarely on the players for not executing better.

Think of it as calling a spade a spade. They got away with quite a few to end the half, including your fat shit d-lineman driving his weight down on Mahomes (even though that rule is ***** idiotic).

I believe his foot was behind. Dan Fouts is a moron. It’s the whole body and the ball.

Then we had Dan trying to figure out if and to who KC should throw to on 3rd at the end of the game with like 50 secs left and the Steelers no TOs.

Browns did worse to Ben last week and it was flagged, but then the league said it shouldn't have been a flag. Whether or not it's a flagged is going to depend on the qb being hit and in which direction it will sway the game.

Not to mention the OL holding every ply. They kept mentioning th I Chiefs could get pressure, but they didn’t see the jerseys being held?

Holding happens all the time. I don't even notice when teams get away with that shit.

That's kind of the point. The refs wanted to keep the Steelers in it and let them get away with one.

It's a dumb rule with too much ticky tacky BS. If you're gonna make a rule that stupid, you need to call it consistently.

He immediately screamed the ball has to be behind the line or it's a penalty.


I assumed it was a new rule change I hadn't heard of because that was never the rule previously. Nope, no rule change. Just Fouts making things up. Like that's not even confusing a rule or something - he just made up something and insisted it was true. He had no doubts about it either.



He was very, very surprised that the Steelers went for 2 after their TD when they were down by exactly 2 after scoring said TD.

Does Tomlin understand that it's his job to get the players to execute?

You forgot special teams. They suck too.

It was close, but it's not reviewable.

I hate the new roughing rule.  Said last week that it shouldn't have been called on Cleveland.

Dan Fouts is just plain bad.  There are very few good color men calling NFL games.

The refs don't call anything constantly.  I didn't watch any of the first half but the few plays I saw in the second half they were "letting them play" unless there was a big play then the flags flew.

Steelers fans are told to never question Tomlin.  But you are correct.  They are rarely prepared and often poorly coached.

Yeah, weird with the PK, but our punter was never that great.

[Sled21]

Yeah, what does Fouts know about that rule, he just played QB in the NFL for 14 years and is in the Hall of Fame....
