We score more points than the bengals: 🙂
We score 7 points: ☹️
TJ Watt is the only positive out of this afternoons game. 3 sacks and 2 forced fumbles in a game that we got absolutely bent over. Especially considering a lot of people had their doubts about his performance after his pectoral injury.
I’m super disappointed from what I’ve seen in Kenny this week. Poor decision making and accuracy. I was hoping he was the answer after Big Ben, especially after his improved second half last year and the dominating pre season performance…now I’m left wondering
I don’t ever want to hear shit about how good we looked in preseason again.
Kenny was terrible today. Terrible.
I’m just gonna say that it is not a coincidence that we get the doors blown off of us everytime we play an actual contender. Today only strengthened my belief in that. I’ll leave it at that.
Well that fucking sucked.
Week 1. Woohoo
Bad-
– Sloppy: everything was just so sloppy today. offsides on the FG, slips by Pat Pete, not blocking Fred Warner at the second level, False start on the punt, Facemask on the fucking punt team long snapper. Levi Wallace penalty for temper. The list could take up this whole comment section. Just a disgusting, ugly day.
– Offense: kenny, Canada, everybody. Everything was so bad, Kenny looked terrible. Missed DJ on a TD, most passes were behind his guy. Just ugly. Get George involved, stop throwing everything to the end zone when you don’t have to- draw up shit to the sticks to get the first. Biggest worry is still our biggest worry in this offense. Sigh
Good-
(Gotta dig deep to find some other than TJ)
– Ant mac on kick returns looked nice. He’s gonna break one this year I guarantee it
– Kwon seemed to be all over the ball today which probably isn’t saying much but thought he looked solid
– TJ Watt is TJ watt. Can’t help but feel bad for the guy but he’s still that dude
Just an absolute shit week 1 performance. Nothing went right and we looked like absolute dog shit across the board. Matt Canada still has his problems and Kenny needs to get it together. Fortunately nothing was ever won or lost in week one but this better be one hell of a wake up call. This roster was supposed to be different but they got dog walked on both sides of the ball today so better respond next Monday because it sure as hell doesn’t get any easier. Cross your fingers cam, DJ, and Leal heal up.
The standard sure is the standard.
That only counts for one loss right?
man the only take away i have is watt is better than bosa but purdy is better than pickett
There is a positive from today. The game is over.
Welp, the Steelers spent all preseason sniffing their own farts, and the media bought into it. The game started with a lot of promise and an 8 yard completion. There’s hope and a future for Pittsburgh! Then, Canada in what can only be called stubborn ignorance immediately called his favorite jet sweep and the drive was stuffed. Great scripted drive. Follow that up with yet another abysmal punt and the wind fully left the sails. Same old Steelers.
San Francisco didn’t really need the momentum, or a turning point; they are the vastly superior team. But tha sequence killed any Steelers aspirations and validated the chip on the 49ers shoulders.
SF dominated all aspects of the game, it was going to be an uphill battle for the young Steelers against a Superbowl hopeful. But damn did they look downright incompetent at times. Pickett was rough and had terrible ball placement, play looked a bit frantic/erratic.
TJ Watt was amazing as usual. Hope the injuries aren’t too serious. Learn and move on.
God this team is ass
At least TJ was a bright spot
Oh thank god it’s over.
Well, Brock Purdy is Patrick Peterson’s dad now.
Good:
TJ Watt
Bad:
Play calling
Awful:
O-line
D-line
So we suck huh?
the good: guys open
allen robinson looked decent
tj watt is a beast
the bad: pickett couldnt hit the broad side of a barn
dj + muth hurt
defense extremely yucky
The offense underperforming against a top 3 defense is whatever, if you look at the worst-case scenarios then this was about what to be expected. That’s about how bad Kenny looked last year and it just continued into this game, hopefully he plays better later in the season but if not then oh well.
The defense though? Depressing. This is supposed to be an elite defense. It’s expensive. They should NEVER play that bad at home. Need to really work on shit. Outside of TJ that was an inexcusable display from them.
Maybe his hands were too small after all.
Kenny Pickett looks fucking shook dude. He’s scared every time he drops back to pass.
Pickett was bad yet was the 2nd best Qb of the afc north. Terrible week for afcn Qbs
Quarterback ratings in AFC North today:
Picket: 68.4
Watson: 67.3
Burrow: 52.2
Jackson: 79.5 (as of now)
And, bonus, Mayfield: 94.4
Kenny was awful today but that doesn’t change the fact that Matt Canada is worst OC in the league. It’s absurd he still has a job, eventually people will have to hold Tomlin accountable for hiring terrible assistant coaches for a decade.
theres a reason other teams are never interested in our assistants, they’re bad coaches. Keith Butlers unemployed, Randy Fitchners unemployed, Todd Haley lasted 8 whole weeks on one of the worst teams in NFL history, and when Canada is let go no one will want him either.
Missing Edmunds real bad right now. Kazee was pretty bad.
Hoping JPJ gets more time over Wallace too. We got carved by Brandon Aiyuk. Wide open receivers all game.
Don’t even need to mention the offense.
I deserve this after being excited for this season.
Apparently we have to play the best defense of all time next week as well, sweet
I really like Tomlin and am not one calling for him to go but I know the way he’ll address this publicly will just be such a non answer and it frustrates me even before it’s happened.
Brock Purdy looks like what Kenny Pickett should be
Good: TJ Watt is a monster, looks like the DPOY already.
Bad: Yes.
Not trying to be an ass, but if Kenny doesn’t improve this season they’ll have to move on.
New year, same shit. TJ is a motherfucker and our offensive line is horrible. Our play calling sucks and our quarterback can only throw outs for short gains.
Week 1 is just an mandatory preseason game for the starters, change my mind
Glad that’s over. Absolutely sucks and a shitty feeling.
Some positives: At least Kenny-Muth had a tuddy. TJ was TJ. Bengals lost.
Negatives- lmao where do I begin with our team. Ravens and Browns both won.
On to next week yinz.
Hats off to the Niners. Also Pat Peterson needs to let his game do the talking lol
I knew the moment that we had a majority of media and experts buying into the hype that we were fucked
Outclassed and outcoached
