    Remind me again who is playing on offense? That's right nobody, what was the game plan? That's right there isn't one. What are they using these meaningless games for? Player evaluation to see if core concepts are being learned.

    I know they don't mean anything but if we've learned anything we do not have a reliable backup

    No one on that field for offense is a threat and the play calling is so vanilla it is like they are telling the Eagles what play they are running

    Only shining beacon is that some of the backups have been solid.

    Playing this poor will lead to playing bad in the real season.. We are flat making lot's of mistakes and we still really can't guard anyone...The Eagles WR'S suck , but even they could get open ....The Redskins are going to smoke our Team in the opener...It's going to be bad very bad..

    Yep they just look to bad to simply flip a switch and play good ... I still think we can have a good year if Ben plays every game , but I do not expect this Team to have a good start to the season .....

    Except for the fact that the players on the field will be the entire starting unit for the whole game. So, no, they won't be getting smoked.

    This hand wringing over preseason is amusing though :popcorn:

    I bet u 20 right now they lose that game by at least 10 ..In other years we at least looked competitive...The Coach wants this Team to compete but they can't putting in the starting unit want light that fire right of the bat..

    That why I wonder if they are setting themselves up for a rough patch. More so than any year under Tomlin I get the impression that while the goal is always the SB, this year it is SB or blow up everything.

    I thought this type of nonsense was reserved for regular season losses?

    First off, losing by 10 is not getting smoked.

    Secondly, they looked like this last preseason and didn't even lose to NE by 10 in the opener.

    So yeah, I'll take that bet.

    PS. They went 1-3 last preseason and went to the playoffs with a ton of injuries. Preseason means :poopy:

    Sadly, no.

    The endzone might as well been a mile away in the second half. I realize its third string on third string and fourth string, but they didn't even come close to finding a score. I enjoy the preseason and watch games other than the Steelers, and the Steelers almost always look worse than everybody else, almost on an annual basis. Not trying to sound negative, but there were very few positive things to take away from this game. If Ben goes down it is OVER.

    Do me a favor and try to work in a cease a desist on DHB in the bet.

    Hence why the only reason I watch them is for pure evaluation. Analysis during the regular season is more difficult considering the importance.

    Hahahahahahaha if we start off 0-4 I'll jump on board and root for the turn around. We're fine outside of issues we already know are gonna be there, but we're gonna competitive in the very least. I mean really competitive.

    I think I know the problem ...Coach T believes that Iron sharpens Iron and all that, that very well could be true...The problem is their isn't much Iron on the backend of this Defense , it is more like swiss cheese...Because of that we go into the regular season not really ready for real Football ..Oh well I guess it is what it is...
