Steelers at Colts Official Game Day Thread

We are purposely throwing the game.

 

I'm a Tomlin guy, but the contrast is too obvious to ignore. The Colts look like the 6-2 team. No matter what, they play hard for Chuck Pagano.

 

If they score again before half

 

Another missed tackle

 

Hilton our best player and only one who showed up

 

Mike Tomlin and Todd Haley can't properly gameplan for a cover 2 vs a team with little talent if they are spotted a good line, Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell?

And two weeks?

And Mike Tomlin is a cover 2 guru, so shouldn't he have some idea how to beat it?

 

If we lose this game it just shows we haven't changed anything and will fall again.

 

Sometimes I feel like the Steelers defense is too aggressive, the other teams know it and figure out a way to counter it

 

Shazier not staying on his man...overaggressive again.

 

If the pressure does get there, the key soon thereafter is to close off his running lanes.


If you do not, you leave running lanes.

 

Haley blows. What happened to the quick slant? Go no huddle all game.

 

I'm sure Dupree is a nice guy and I don't question his work ethic and injuries are tough to overcome, but he's an NFL bust.
I've never seen a guy get owned on every play like he does. No pressure, no threat, no nothin

 

This team is garbage.

 

It's like watching Brady except he is more mobile and sucks guys into moving then hits the checkdown running back for the first down. In contrast Ben escapes and looks for a 20 yard completion when 5 is all that is needed but Haley has also made sure that nobody is in that five yards

 

Not much he could do at a full run on a reverse staring at 2 guys! MCDonald was supposed to at least get one of them. If he just blasts the first guy, Bryant an stick his foot and try to get by the second one. He chipped him, but didn’t really disrupt him.

 

They are 7-14 against teams with a record below .500 on the road since 2012 and it is about to be 7-15. This looks just like the game in Chicago. This team is going to quickly undo all the good they did the first half of the season and it has to fall on Tomlin.

 

I do not believe he is a bust but his lack of pass rushing improvement is discouarging.

 

Only thing working as far as trying goes is the defense. They miss some tackles and made a big coverage blunder, but they seem to be trying hard at least. Hope they make a big play today, we need it.

 

That's because he's more of a glorified cheerleader than a coach. He's one of their buds. This team has too many egos in the locker room and nobody there keep them in check. I'd say the locker room could be toxic with some of the knuckleheads in there. But just wait till Ben is done. As bad as he's played, it's gonna be far worse when he's gone. The team will implode with all the finger pointing that will come from the fat ego players.

 

Can't see the game today, but from what I'm reading, it seems I'm the lucky one...

 

Steelers not get any calls Colts oline holding on almost every play.

 

I'm done. The Steelers are not playing like they care at all.......THAT is on TOMLIN.

Time to watch the Smithsonian channel. Much more excitement.

 

The more I watch him, the more I'm convinced that if he isn't hurt, he is trying really hard to avoid getting hurt. At the very least, the contact he used to bounce back from and shrug off he seems terrified of now. It all tells me his retirement talk was more than just lip service.

 

I hope loved ones are paying attention to some of the people posting here. I'm as surprised as anyone by how they're playing, but as bad as they're playing, it's 10-0. Not exactly something to get too Chicken Little about. I fully expect a different Steelers team in the 2nd half. They still win this game.

 

This game looks nothing like Chicago.



Chicago ran all over us.
