[@Merciless315]

I usually don't comment on the opposing team site. As a Steelers fan, I thought I was looking at a mirror version of Steelers in the Chargers. The fact that you have Jh as your qb? Man, hold your head up. Playing AFC North style is not easy unless you see it regularly. If there was a team i want to win it all besides my Steelers, it's the Chargers. We'll see you again in the playoffs.

Yeah, the Steelers offense is lacking, but it seems to be getting a little better every game. But thier Defense is no joke. And before any one wants to roll with, well the Chargers had to go with their backup QB,... Justin Fields is the Steelers backup QB. But honestly, I think the Chargers will bounce back just fine.

Not that wanting to go toe to toe with an actual contender in Pittsburg is an excuse. Boys, we are 2 an 0 in a major rebuild. This game didnt mean squat. We have to beat KC 2 out of 3 this year and the 1st of those three is NEXT WEEK. Everybody who is anybody is SITTING. Lets see what our QB room has to work with and just take the L. He's not going to do that again. In all likelyhood, next week we're 2-2 . and a nice little vacay for J10's ankle.

High ankle sprain is 4-6 weeks or Herbert will just keep re-injruing it. I would look at free agents or a possible trade with Bosa to try to get a QB. I would inquire with the Rams about Jimmy G. If thats a no-go, I call up Tannehill. Either would be massive upgrades over Heinicke and Stick

2-2 coming next week

[@Ali-wi8bx]

I feel like all we can do is look on the bright side after this game. Yeah, injuries suck, especially to this group of players, and I pray none of them are serious injuries. But, today was our first real test of the Harbaugh era and we fought very hard with a great team. It was 10-10 before Herbo got hurt, and that was already without Slater and Bosa. Offense was getting yards, defense was flying around. If any of Herb, Bosa, Slater, or Alt are not 100% come healthy, don’t play them. Let them rest over the bye, and we’ll come back and continue how we started the season. Just some setbacks along the way which are expected in the NFL. 2-2 going into the bye with our schedule going forward is not bad at all

Now maybe people’s expectations can come back down to earth. This team is better than last year but we aren’t contenders. Injuries are going to happen and while they did a great job drafting and in free agency it will take another stellar offseason to get the depth we need for the inevitable in game injury. If things work out we may be in wild card contention. But fans hold your head up. We played hard. We are heading in the right direction. Just enjoy this season with no expectations

[@karlmassera1939]

As a fan I was not happy with what I saw in the second half. It was an extremely dismal performance on offense and the defense had too many costly penalties. Those are the old types of games we are used to seeing where we play hard half the game and then dissappear. I hope the guys don't have season ending injuries but at this point the Chiefs game isn't even worth watching since it's predictable outcome when they are that beat up.

@@karlmassera1939 yea, I hear you. Those were some major injuries to overcome though. I’ll be interesting how we play after the bye week. The think we are gonna take a beating next week if our guys are still out

[@doomdragon9611]

If we look at our standing and compare them to the other teams then we can make the playoffs

Been a fan since 98. I've seen some charger teams that I felt were contenders. I never had that feeling with this roster. Headed in the right direction though, and that's a feeling I haven't felt in a LONG time, so I'm happy about that.

Thats why we got depth...lets see the Brasher n Tart...n bang Gus, screen, swing, tight end slant, run Taylor run...lol

[@N2Dressage001]

I think our D can handle KC. Depending on the severity of Alt and Slater's injuries, currently unknown; if they play, and we have Heinicke, I believe we have a very good chance with KC.

They should have preserved Hurbert's body another week so he can be ready for the Chiefs. IMO, and I'm a Steelers fan. At the same time, it's hard for fans of the Chiefs NOT to have their QB1 out on the field, especially against the Steelers defense. I am praying for his recovery 🙏🏾 and for it to be speedy one.

We played a great team ... The Chargers played there heart ❤️ out ..

Ref ball stole that game

[@bigmac4266]

bro quit it -5 yards in the 2nd half and u blame the refs lmao alt held TJ on the few snaps where they went 1 on 1 and every penalty that was called was shown in a replay and were legit calls

[@CarrieAnn77]

I mean if it's any consolation the Steelers offensive line has been almost decimated with injuries since before preseason. And I'm a Steelers fan here. But you hate to see anybody injured.

[@chaneystcgstore4692]

The Steelers played a great game. I knew going into this that we had to have every player healthy to win and sure enough the injuries took us out of being able to go tit for tat. Which is nothing to take away from the STeelers, they played great.

[@richardnoble3992]

The injuries set us up GREAT to play KC!!!! 😂
