I like Donte Jackson but Van is no Dionte and I miss his production. He wasn’t a touchdown machine but he was more reliable. But our playcalling has to improve.

[@jimmorrison9287]

Steelers fans are the wosrt. Fields did what he was supposed to do, and game managed and got us the win. It was a new QB and a new OC in their first game on the road. Also, they won the time of possession and were able to sustain drives. Yeah, they weren't able to finish with touchdowns, but it's littlery the first game with a new OC and QB. Our old offense were 3 and out most of the time. What we saw was a step in the right direction. It wasn't a 3 and out fest

Justin did the game plan to the tee. Did you notice they didn't call any paces down the middle. Everything was toward the sides. That was the game plan. Including the screens and him running. The coaches may open it up a little more next week. Steelers really need another #2 receiver. Justine had the same issue with only one prime receiver at the Bears.

[@ZacheryZimmerman-uk4ti]

Not even close to Kenny Ball. The Steelers out gained their opponent in the win. The only offensive stat they didn't beat the Falcons at was passing yards... which was 137 to 133 for the Falcons. Would have beaten them there too, if Pickens didn't get called on a BS pass interference. We won the Time of Possession and had more first downs than the opponent....none of that happened with Kenny Pickett ball

[@mikeschertzer941]

​@@ZacheryZimmerman-uk4ti Mostly short passes. Needed the D to be +3 (or +2 if you count our ToD). No TDs (even when given great field position). No TD passes. Fields played well enough not to lose. Which is good. But it was also Kenny's specialty.

[@ZacheryZimmerman-uk4ti]

@mikeschertzer941 results were the same, but context matters. 16 first downs. 36 minutes time of possession to allow that defense to rest, especially the pass rush. How many 3 and outs? If you think the offense wasn't different, you don't know ball.

[@annecoco9444]

I am a Justin Fields believer. I come as a Bears fan, who has been through a lot. Build JF’s confidence and he can be a great qb. I just want to point out that Russ struggled when Aaron Rodgers oc was his oc/head coach. Now imagine being in your 2nd -3rd year in the league, where your 2nd was a tank year, and having Aaron Rodgers qb coach as your 1st time oc. He just needs to wash the stink off him and he will be special. I am now a Steelers fan!!

[@Thepanther412]

The quarterback position with Justin Field literally looks exactly like it did last year, except for he can run the ball here and there that’s all😢……..

[@RunEmDownTony]

I think Justin settled in a little bit. At first, he was very inaccurate with his passes, missing some very easy passes out on the wing and on the sideline close by. Then, I had no idea what was going on with the center and QB exchange, but it seemed to be issues earlier on that was ironed out. After that, especially in the second half, he seemed to have a little more confidence and comfy and just managed the game from there. We need to get better in the running game to help Justin out. I still believe we need another receiver on the other side of Pickens. I do believe Fields held the ball longer than he should due to the fact that receivers were not getting separation consistently.

[@ydjlearn]

The o-line played better than expected. The arrow moved in the right direction. The falcons defensive front seven is pretty fast and good and the o-line held up for the most part. I think Broderick Jones is your right tackle moving forward. Zach Frazier is going to have some growing pains but, all pro is in his future. Fauntanu's job is to now beat out Dan Moore on the left side. But, Moore was pretty steady today.

[@uwduh365]

Let's be real. The refs screwed us out of a touchdown, extended falcons drives and didn't extend any Steelers drives when deserved. The Steelers beat 2 teams on the field this week for a well deserved win.

The offense looked different and you had different Results, JF2 Threw the ball down field and didn't turn it over. The OLINE was much better in week 1 versus the past 2 season when the run game got going in week 9 in both past 2 seasons. The REF's factored into the Game which stop the Steelers from Scoring 1 TD at minimum. And Jaylen Warren is not fully Healthy and Roman Wilson didn't Play. Let JF2 start next week as RW3 is not Healthy and at Age 35 normal 1 or 2 week injuries are 4 or 6 week injuries. JF2 has the potential to be our Future, And RW3 is just a one year rental.

The game plan was limited and I knew that’d happen. The most important thing was for Fields to show some of those crazy throws he makes when he got the chance, and he did that. I was also looking for the adjustments from Arthur Smith and he showed that. Even though the game plan was limited because they were trying to simplify it, it was still way better than anything we’ve had in the recent years. Anything negative you can say about the game by Justin Fields, was planned. The game plan was limited to rely on the defense. But if he gets a chance, he may actually pop off.

If Fields gets more comfortable in the offense and starts completing passes downfield more often, I don't see him losing the QB spot any time soon. He has to make sure to keep the same mindset, though; he shouldnt get too crazy and risky when he has a good defense and rushing attack to support him. Fields and Arthur Smith need to work on the Red Zone offense, turning those 3s to 6s, and just improve from there. Scoring 6 times isn't bad, though.

Just one game folks

Gotta get into the endzone. The play calling was great but ya got to get into the endzone. No problem on defense.

[@foley15136]

I hate that I’m probably right, but I think that we have a pair of legs at QB, and not an arm. I’m not saying that he doesn’t throw the occasional nice pass, but we’ll be talking about his legs, than his arm all season. And that’s not what you want at QB. Arm first. I hope I’m totally wrong.

[@M98-j9k]

@@foley15136 Yep! He's not that guy.

[@jayb-wickorsnow5956]

The refs dudded TJ multiple stip sacks. Boz is money as usual and if theres is not many injuries on defense this season we'll be the top D in the league. Let Fields cook man he looked comfortable.

23:16 so glad I’m not the only one that seen that, I was like wtf is this play calling, it was pissin me off watching it. I was like this ain’t Fields playing bad, this the damn play calling

[@jonahchristopher9759]

OSU fan watched fields play for us. He was solid. Wasn’t elite but wasn’t just solid either. I think his time in Chicago had greatly damaged him. Maybe permanently so. But he can do enough through the air and with his legs he is elite. I think we had a scheme drawn up for Russ and if we can scheme for his mobility with boots and rpo then we can get some points rolling. Not saying we’d be world beaters but we’d be solid.

He literally did what Kenny did managed the offense no tds and no passes in the middle of the field I need more from the offense

[@raymartinez5339]

Better thank the good lord Boz is a top tier kicker man😂. And defense did what we always expect them to do

[@candiedear]

I watch you for optimism. Even if we win by a hair you make me feel optimistic about the next one

[@charleslumberger8441]

I'm not worried about the defense as far as the offense we have to stretch the defense out early in the game like the first drive we have to take a shot down the field

[@Thatdudepeavey]

Overall we looked good I liked our free agent signings could have been better on run defense but I’ll take it!!! Wait til Justin gets more comfortable!!!
