A Tale of Two Halves in one Game

First a great win, 6-0 is hard in this league and I am pleased. Second Coaches love these games because they are teaching moments, put the tape on Monday and beat the hell out of them, shouldn’t need to do this with a Veteran team though. 2nd half ensures this Team does not go into Baltimore next week cocky.

1st Half - Major props to Coach Tomlin, he had this Team ready to play and they fired on all cylinders. I would say the best half of football I have seen the Steelers play in a long time, complete effort all phases. My only issue was last sequence before halftime, why not throw short, spike the ball and take a FG shot?

2nd Half - I thought Defense played well the whole game, Minkah’s effort was less than stellar but overall very pleased, reason we won the game. Shout out to MICKEY SPILLANE AKA MIKE HAMMER on one of the best hits Henry will take all year, hope he is Ok. Ben I love you but you must know situational football cannot throw last ball to Juju, take the FG.

Very happy for Spillane, Ray Ray, DJ and Juju all had big games. Go STEELERS beat RATBIRDS.

 

The offense couldn't stay on the field the 2nd half. The defense played a lot and surely were getting tired, and it almost cost the Steelers the game.

Glad for the win, though. I'll take it. On to Baltimore.

 

Jamie is coming for your job @AskQuestionsLater

 

You have to give the Titans defense some credit, their coverage seemed to be tighter in the second half.

 

3 points in the 2nd half is unacceptable. But I will take the lucky win

 

Tannehill getting 'the comeback' figured out. He looks dangerous.

 

lmao..and dying to know..Did you last till the end?

 

Until halftime for inquiring minds

 

This seems to be how the Titans have won games this season. Start slow and then comeback and win. Only this time the Steelers did enough to hold the lead. Titans pass coverage was tight in the second half. I thought we got away from the run a little bit, which didn't help. Either way, a solid effort by the Steelers. They had some bad bounces that helped make the game closer than it needed to be. They built a huge lead, and then held on for the win. Thats what good teams do.

 

All i know is im $35.00 richer after this game

 

Ben Homer here but you can’t have an entire half like that. Atrocious!
Zero Offense, bad judgement, passes that kept getting lower and lower and thrown into coverage not away from it. What s it about a lead your mind can’t handle? One of those people that’s always at their best under extreme pressure. Said it before, although it’s been a while, we live and die by him.

 

The wall of text haha. Steelwinds too lol

I do appreciate your knowledge though AQL

 

I appreciate members like them actually. The better the commentary, the better the discussion. The more we have on the board, the better!



No need to make it into a competition.

 

I knew once they jumped out 24-7 that there would be a let down. These are frustrating games to watch.

 

The Titans had more progressions on their plays ...They had a runnig set they kept calling different plays and with different wrinkles by the time they got to the 4th. quarter our D really had no answer.. On Offense our Team failed to keep attacking with a lead like that we need to get in running formations with Ben under Center and run and use PA...

 

I feel like 90% of NFL games all play out like this. It is a frustrating, manipulated set up in a lot of ways. Doesn't make sense.

 

I like you too.

 

Exactly correct. And the last throw was the worst. Too many defenders, we didn’t need a touchdown and Ebron was open underneath. Wide open

 

Winning the game is a letdown?

 

Ben going back to stupid Ben , throwing into coverage again.

 

Great teams get big leads and keep it. Wish we can take the next step as we need to keep the foot on the gas for 4 qtrs (Eagles/Titans for example)

 

Other teams get paid too, they make adjustments also you aren't going to keep a good team down for 4 quarters.

 

Looked to me Ben was getting tired as the game went. He even admitted he felt like it was more plays then they actually did. Hence he throws getting lower and lower as the game went on. Ben go back to work on your footwork like you did a couple of games ago. But he had a great first half, one of his best ever.

 

The Titans had some major ball luck on Sunday, we should have had two INT's on defense. If the Steelers went conservative people would be complaining that we didn't keep our foot on the gas. Ben's last int was a qb throwing to a WR! being covered by a LB. Most qb's take that chance and JUJU usually makes that play. I at least think it was good to see them try and put a dagger than lose through being conservative.
