    1. The stats won't show it, but Justin fields was quite good

    2. Watching Broderick Jones single handedly kill what would've been a glorious drive was painful... near as I could tell, he didn't see the field for the rest of the game

    3. Troy Fautanu looked quite good

    4. James Daniels and Dan Moore had games to forget

    5. Boz was money as usual

    6. The refs robbed Pickens of a TD.... that contact was initiated by the defender

    7. Cory Trice looked like a seasoned veteran on that int.

    8. Corliss Waitman was booming his punts ..
    Makes me wonder how he didn't suplant Presley Harvin a long time ago

    9. Patrick Queen doesn't look like he has a full grasp of the defense yet

    10. I just didn't see the penalties against Joey Porter Jr...... only one appeared to be legit

    11. The Denver O-line should've been called for more holding penalties than they did

    12. Beautiful to see the ravens and Bengals at 0-2

    13. Nice to see Mount Washington getting his 1st td

    Why is our O Line having trouble?

    Fields might have been ok or serviceable but i dont get this talk of being our starter. To me he hasnt done anything to make me think he should supplant Wilson, who hasnt even had a chance to get on the field yet

    At first glance with Fields only having 117 passing yards I was wondering myself but factor in the pass he threw on a dime to Pickens that was called back due to penalty, and heck, Mahomes only had 151 yards passing, at home nonetheless, and I am starting to like Mr. Fields.

    Fields is a back-up, that's his ceiling. Right now, he's treading water until Wilson is ready. That said, this offensive line could be great, it just needs more time to work together. i think at this stage of his career, Smith's offense is tailor made for Wilson's game. The other issue I see offensively is that they desperately need someone to step up and take ownership of being the second receiver. They also need to find a punt returner. Austin stinks.

    Fields was solid in the 1st half then the bottom fell out.

    Can't have a steady diet of turtle.

    Defense was solid with a few missteps.

    I don't understand why Smith doesn't throw on 1st down. Does Fields not know how to run play action? Or any pass for that matter. To predictable.

    at least 60-70 passing yards was nullified by penalties for Fields today....at least 36 last week....It can't continue

    Weak logic, 150 is standard for fields but certainly not for mahomes. I dont get why people think so positively of Fields, he looks like pickett 2.0 to me. The only real upside is he does not throw interceptions but pickett also hasnt for a lot of games last year

    Please for the Pickett comparaison.....Did you see his throw of 50 yards to Pickens in this game who was nullified by Penalty?....Pickett would never been able to do this

    Pickett has zero ceilling.For Fields,around 100 passing yards was nullified by penalties in the first 2 week

    The defense has only given up 16 points in two games, and created turnovers in both games :shrug:.

    Frazier might have been the only starter on the offensive line who played well. Moore took a killer hold. Daniels got his butt kicked consistently. Fautanu missed some big blocks. Jones was a disaster. That group has to get a lot better.

    100% agree.

    But... it ain't gonna happen with rotating RTs, LT first rounders playing RT, and useless OL coach who will never be replaced.

    his first half was pretty damn impressive, the second half it's hard to place blame on him. The penalties, play calling, over all play just sucked. We need a legitimate number 2, hell grab allen robinson off lions PS, at least he can block.

    I mean.....Fields has been serviceable, and it's true he has had some nice throws wiped out by penalties. BUT, if you watch the guy, he locks in on read one. He dumps the ball off to the safety valve without looking elsewhere. He holds the ball too long at times AND he has an annoying tendency to fumble. I will say he has avoided dangerous throws for the most part. The issue is, they have beat two run of the mill teams. Can we trust a Fields led offense to put up points when they play competent NFL QB's? I don't have a whole lot of faith.

    hard to blame the D for anything when they were on the field the entire 2nd half.

    Fields actually played quite well i thought.. no, he didn't light it up on offense.. who could with that offensive line and receiving corps though? he had some great plays called back by penalties.. he also made some nice plays downfield that resulted in pass interference. all in all, this offense needs to get better.. it was nice to see us utilizing the tight ends, for a bit... and then we went right back to typical Steelers offense and pretended they didn't exist in the second half. the offense obviously needs to improve, because it's not good enough to beat teams with better offenses. the line needs to come together and this team needs to upgrade at wide receiver.

    Not many QB in the NFL can overcome the penalties like the steelers had today.If the steelers would score 21 points in the first half,who would likely been the case without penalties,many would change this discussion on Fields....

    Fields looked much better this week than he did last week. There were so many penalties that killed drives and brought back some great plays by him. I still want to see what Wilson can do, but Fields is only 25 and COULD be the future, where as Wilson is a 1 year rental and will be somewhere else.

    Offensive line needs to figure it out (how many years have we said that?)
    Defense looks solid. Really like where this unit is.

    I don't necessarily disagree with any of this. I just can't understand why people are so ready to leave Wilson on the bench.
