Steelers at Broncos: Official GDT!

I'm not tooting their horn this yr either. I think they are a tier 2 team but they still are far more disciplined and other than jax both of their losses came against former players anc coaches who were part of the organization. Malcolm butler, Dion Lewis, vrabel and co badly wanted to get back at bill. Patricia the last few years has practiced against Brady everyday. They aren't losing games like this by self inflicted wounds. The class of the NFL are the saints, rams, and chiefs. Everyone else is a level below them.

 

I’m most mad about the obvious no catch on the long Sanders “catch,” Washington and Juju’s drops on the long passes and Grimble’s fumble.

Y’all get mad all you want, and I’m not saying it’s not warranted, but we kicked their ass and loss because of our own doing.

 

It can happen...Rivers is due for one of his brain fart games...hopefully its next week

 

Yeah Ben isn't even a top 5 candidate right now.

 

The Steelers now dont control their own destiny for the #1 or #2 seed

 

Knowing the Steelers over the years, they will find a way to loose the division. That tie is going to play a factor and with their remaining schedule, I can see them losing the Division easily. This was just the first nail in the coffin. If there is a record for choking it out, the Steelers will probably be there to set a new record.

Again, the Donkeys got beat by the Jets. We cannot win in Denver either except for that playoff game years ago with the Bus.

 

Hey Ben has always been a risk taker in the 4th QTR at times playing reckless and desperate!!!

 

Ah calm down it's just popcorn

 

Yup . Plenty of blame to go around.

 

This team has proven they are capable of losing any game left as much as they are capable of winning

 

Teach fundamentals? Put guys in who can hold on to the ball? When you play at the level of ineptitude that the team played at today, it goes way beyond just a bad day.

 

They have at least two of these stupid, shoot themselves in the foot losses every year. Turnovers, bad penalties, poor situational play calling and clock/TO's mismanagement. We saw all of the above in this game. Everything other than turnovers can usually be overcome, even in a close game. This loss rests with the players, not the coaches. Two bad fumbles that otherwise would have been big plays, and the interceptions lost the game. These players aren't remotely controlled.

 

Just gotta get to the Big Dance.
Don’t have to have a splashy suit or a garage kept car, just get there.

Hahahahahahaha!

 

I think the penalties have calmed down a bit. The players' execution lost the game, but the play calling was weird, too, and that's on the coach and coordinators. I do think the coaches played a huge part in this loss - it was a true team effort in the loss, with O, D, and staff contributing, once again.

 

What a pathetic performance today. I didn’t get to see the game but I heard some of it on the radio. How do we lose to inferior teams? The Broncos are what 4-6 or 3-7? I think Conner is starting to come back a little bit in the last two weeks. He hasn’t done squat on the ground against the last two defenses which are decent but not great. Terrible loss in my opinion when we got the Chargers next.

 

Denver played tougher to cause those fumbles.
That’s it.

 

Steelers had a bye and home field last year. How did that work out?

 

Well...he doesn’t disappoint with that analysis. Stays true to form!

 

Well, at the absolute worst, one bright aspect did come out today. Chukwuma Okorafor held his own well against a future Hall of Fame player.



The loss still stings for certain but that in itself is some very comforting good news. Now we know Chuks can handle those tasks.

 

Good point. Don't know what the turnover ratio is, but it has to be one of the worst in the league.

 

we didnt even try to r

Idont kno abt other coaches , but im pretty sure Tomlin does'nt do a whole hell of alot

 

Firstly, that was just a stupid play by Ben. We coughed up min 13 points today, brutal. I will also say, the refs let Denver grab all day, some questionable sh*t going on.

 

IMHO, the two 3rd quarter timeouts were related to personnel groupings. The Steelers got cute with groupings this game. At the end, they used the wrong grouping. That, and the play calling was a little too cute.

The big question is, moving forward, how will this loss impact the Steelers? They have a tough schedule, can they still win the division? If they do, a 4 seed would be difficult. The Chargers/Chiefs will be a tough out.

 

Sorry, but no. I'm not giving the Broncos credit on those fumbles. Grimble stood nearly straight up with the ball in the wrong hand. He had plenty of time to put it in his left hand or make a move on the defender. He did neither and made it easy.

The defender didn't cause Conner's fumble. Conner lost the ball while trying to jump over the guy. That's all on him.

The Broncos made a few plays, but this one is all on the Steelers. They gift-wrapped it in every way possible.

 

Can we figure out which receiver kept running the wrong routes?
It was easy to see.
