My thoughts on reg season wk 18

I'll say more of a 35m team as this started to turn for the offense on that drive prior to HT, but your point remains nonetheless.

 

Man, despite many shortcomings last night. I'm still riding high after that win. I really don't want to ramble about the negative and just look ahead to the Texans.

 

Something isn't right with Boz, I hope it is correctible?

 

we really need a punter - we are often on the other side of 60 yards punts and starting inside the 10. yet we rarely do that to other teams.

 

They obviously were too filled with apathy to chant anything or leave.

 

That can't be true according to some fans the Steelers never make any adjustments .

 

After the loss to Buffalo to think some fans wanted the team to lose out, to get a better draft pick or to get Tomlin fired. It's much more satisfying to end the Ravens season and win the division.

 

That may be my biggest concern after last night. The look on his face after that miss tells me his confidence is nowhere near where it needs to be right now.

Don't get me wrong. There are plenty of other issues, especially the secondary, but those are baked in. This version of the Steelers is built on being able to rely on Boz, but that isn't entirely the case right now.

 

excellent! The one thing I would say is sometimes you have to tip your hat to the other guys. Lamar Jackson and Zay flowers are amazing athletes and made some great plays. Anybody but Lamar and two of those touchdowns are sacks. Likely made a fantastic catch on the final play. I really think that’s an incompletion 80% of the time. Yes, we need to avoid breakdowns, but I’m not sure those moments are emblematic of what we should expect

 

Both long touchdowns were ugly breakdowns by the defense. I know Jackson is incredibly elusive, but Highsmith could have broken down to make a solid tackle the same way Herbig did earlier. Benton should have been in position to clean things up if Highsmith missed. They need to take a more sound fundamental approach in that situation.

 

You’re not wrong. But Stroud is not Lamar. He’s going down on those plays! They don’t have a great offensive line.

 

No doubt. The Texans' offense isn't great, but it usually doesn't have to be great. The Steelers can't afford the breakdowns they had against the Ravens because even with Metcalf returning, the Houston's defense is a much stiffer challenge than Baltimore's.

 

If the Steelers throw 47 times vs Houston next week
Arod will be in traction
Ned Flanders will finish game

 

These are cool videos of the Steelers game usually about fifteen minutes long, I only watch them when the Steelers win.

 

He's been OK. But it's hard after watching two teams with really good punting performances back to back. Especially the Browns punter.

 

Talk about the roller coaster of emotions.

My dad is from Western PA, but he's been dead for well over a decade. He had 2 brothers, one died in 2018. They were all huge Steeler fans. My remaining Uncle passed away before week 18 and his services were the end of the week. I don't live in the area, but since I was in for the services, decided to get a ticket on secondary market.

Might have been the best game I've ever been to in person from an excitement perspective. Glad my uncles and dad got to watch together.

I know my uncle had a terrible towel sent with him on his heavenly journey.

Hopefully they've got some more divine intervention for the next month.

 

I really thought Ramsey was going to break up that pass to
Likely.

I’m surprised he miss timed the jump so bad, looked like an easy angle to knock the ball out.

 

Rodgers is happy to be with a winning organization after being on the Jets for the last two years.
