Official Pittsburgh vs Jacksonville game thread

So far this game is on Ben. First of all the flat footed throw into the flat,against this team? Then I don't care what the call is on 4 th and short ,you're 250 lbs sneak it....then he fumbled holding the ball too long for A TD. He needs to play lights out the rest of the way. He's hurt us bad so far...

 

So did I

 

I guess the site's back up! Horrendous 1st half!

 

Damn if we take away the fumble td and kicked the fg it would be 17-21 or 17-14

 

Questionable. But Yeldon was running well also so I am not sure it matters whether it is a Fornette, Yeldon, or me in the backfield.

 

Can we adjust?

 

Watch out for an onside kick to start the second half

 

Ben is playing with fire in the pocket though...

 

Down two touchdowns to this defense the way our offense has performed? Sorry, but I'm not optimistic.

 

Come on gentlemen... PUT EM TO BED! Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

 

I'd rather them celebrate and get excited and fired up from the momentum than mope around and act like it's over.

 

I'm going to guess that a pile of lurking Jax fans jumped the board and shut it down.

 

So glad it's is back up and running, or else I am just sitting here screaming at the TV by myself

 

Typical Steeler football...could a, would a, should a!

 

Please quit with blaming the coaches please. The defense is playing like crap even when we play man and are in press like everyone wants. 2 bad turnovers are not on the coaches

I will give u the 4th and inches call but u have a qb that can run a sneak. He hates it and anyone who has ever watched this team know he sucks at it.

We get points on 1st drive of the 2nd we are fine if the d shows some heart.

But ask yourself. If this d shows up next week?

 

BUT we can’t , we dug this hole and it’s well deserved now let’s see what happens

 

Ball has to come out especially on first and second down,hit whoever is open

 

Need points to open half

 

Ben needs to protect the ball and the defense needs to step up if they have any chance at getting back into this game in the 2nd half.

 

TD put us back in game but Ben has to stop with the turnovers!!!

 

what a catch by Bryant.

better b a good halftime speech

 

This game hinges on the defense. Need to force a turnover or two. Not sure how, but it needs to happen.

 

That was a hell of a throw to Bryant, but I agree that this is all on Roethlisberger. Both turnovers were inexcusable mistakes. The interception was a forced throw in to coverage and the fumble was just bad ball security. He has to have better pocket presence in that situation, pull the ball down to escape and then throw if he manages to get away.

The fourth-and-inches was not his fault unless he was the one who made the call. For whatever reason, they don't run sneaks, but that has to be an inside run by Bell or a play-action pass. The outside run was a terrible play call that had no shot at all.
