My thoughts on reg season wk 17

Cleveland was doing nothing on offense in the second half; you punt the ball instead of going for it on 4th and 10 on your own twenty-yard line and having three timeouts.

 

But you had to figure it was a low scoring game not smart to pass up easy points.

 

Not sure if Gainwell would’ve gotten in as he would’ve caught that at the 5 with a LB right in front of him

 

This I agree with. Should have punted there and used their time outs.

 

For all the talk about Cleveland's good defense

Their last four games at home - allowing 25.75 ppg
Their last four games overall - allowing 27.75 ppg

Steelers likely could have won scoring half those averages. Not sure how Tomlin thought the Steelers played well.

 

I think this collapse is too great to overcome.

I think Ravens win next week.

You might bottle up King Henry one game, but you aren’t going to do it two games.

We will be without DK and Washington next week, how are we going to move the ball and score?

Is Pickens playing next week, asking for a friend?

 

Henry had 94 yards and the Ravens were over 200 on the ground in that game. The defense may be okay, but I don't know how the Steelers are going to do enough offensively.

 

Browns punter kicking for over 60 yards and truly changing the field. we get happy with 45 yard punt. how do we bring in a new punter every year and continue to pick the wrong guy?

 

Jonnu Smith had 88 Rec / 884 Rec Yards / 8 Rec TDs last season..

Muth had 60+ Rec / 650 Rec Yards / 7 Rec TDs last season..

I've seen enough teams beat us with no name recievers and talented TEs to know its possible to do the same.

 

it seemed we didn't have much to make catches. he hit many in the hands.

 

I don't think the odds would been good if they would take the ball inside of 15 yards line(instead of the 35 yards line)and no timeout with like 1:30 left and no timeout

 

Harmon is the difference maker. Didn't play in the first Ravens matchup. Ravens will not crack 200 yards if him and Heyward are playing.

btw, Heyward was again superman in the game yesterday. Steelers better find his replacement to pair with Harmon next season or this run defense will suffer.

 

4th quarter, Analytics say go for it... Steelers punt:

 

The missed FG was the real killer. Could have been 10-9 and Rodgers leading them to an easy FG at the end to win it. Boz miss was weird when he has been money all season.
