    Najee went nowhere and pretty much immediately the cameras focused on Tomlin right after the play. He had the WTF look on his face. We're down 9 points with not much time and we do a run up the middle on 1st down. (like we pretty much always do on 1st down, sigh).

    I just can't get worked up or invest any more time into The Steelers other than watching the games and a quick thought or two the next day until they get rid of Canada and cut Pickett loose. Based on that play and the look on Tomlin's face, both might happen this year and at the end of the year at the latest on the Canada deal.

    We hit our offense average of 14 points a game in a league where offense gets all the rules for them and our streak on no tds on first drive is still in tact so we should celebrate Canada offense today.

    Somehow other teams choose to pick on Steelers D weaknesses: throw in the middle at the MLBs, get 34 in man coverage for TD after TD.

    Yet, steeler O never seems to get a favorable match up to exploit... even after Browns lost 3 defensive starters, there was no picking on the weak link from the offense... the OC is garbage.

    I love when people make up crap to suit their narrative.

    1st down was a pass to claypool. Thanks for playing

    Guessing you are a West Coaster. I know California is a big ass state but there is a thread on here about a guy out west opening one of those craft beer places and he is looking for fellow fans to join him at his new place.

    It was the drive before when they went down 9. Najee just fell down. DJ sure looked open on 3rd down.

    The one with 9-10 minutes to play? That’s a problem for y’all? The op claimed not much time to play. So y’all want them to be one dimensional and predictable or just have to find something to complain about. Over 9 minutes to play no need for defense to worry about the run just insert dime defense and relax

    Im laughing here because I re-watched that run at least 3x’s by Najee last night right after the play and could not figure out how he went down. Sniper?

    DUDE They were just talking about how the whole league is down on scoring this year thus far. The lowest since 2006. Betting overs has not been good.
    Yes improvement needs to happen but on a whole it's all been below.

    I am not nit-picking the play call it is just they were ineffective the two most important drives of the game.

    Frankly on the next drive I don't know why you don't go for it, down 2 scores. I suppose an on-side kick has a better chance than getting a first down with this offense. :sigh:

    Are you trying to beat the point spread? That is the only reason to try and pick up the first down, and then try to score a TD before the clock runs out; when you actually need 2 scores to win the game.

    Steelers kick the FG with 1:48 left on the clock to bring them within 1 score of winning the game.

    The FG is the correct call if you want to win the game. You can go for the 1st down and hopefully score a TD, if all you care about is improving the stat line and helping out the people who bet on the Steelers to cover the spread.

    Funny, you could tell DJ was doing his best to not make a scene after the play was over.

    I was talking about the drive before the FG drive.

    EDIT: 4th and 6 on 10 yard line with 4:26 left, down 2 scores.
