Steelers Vs. Ravens Reaction

[@anthonylancione7767]

Warren needs to be the feature back he’s our 2nd most explosive player on offence behind GP

[@Shawn-n1r]

@anthonylancione7767 no doubt this has been known in Pittsburgh since game 1 with these 2 backs tomlin for some reason wasted the line jelling and confidence for najee to hurdle into -2 he's no game planner I don't know if he even knows the game at all

@ such incredibly powerful insights. You should write a book.

[@MRulli427]

2 straight weeks were we are about to tie/take the lead in crucial moment of the game against good teams and fumble… both teams took in and scored 7… both completely changed momentum of both games. Instead of going into the fourth of the eagles game 20-20, it was 27-14. Instead of having a 14-7 lead and having control of the game + ball at half we were down 7 trying to claw back. Both fumbles were completely stupid easily avoidable mistakes to. They need to get their heads in the fucking game man

[@Zyreath]

Wilson was worse than Najee… yet none of these Steelers commentators want to point that out

[@pathutchison7688]

Russ gave chances to win the game away, playing hero ball. J Warren should be the starting RB. We are always going to struggle against Read/option teams. Making this defense hesitate is disasterous. And of course, this team made its bed in the off-season with their WR room decisions. We must beat KC, if for no other reason than we have to prove to ourselves that we can be a true top team. I’m worried that we simply aren’t that good. We’ve never beaten Mahomes. The first time must come on Wednesday. Great analysis by Steelers Depot as always.

[@Alex_Kozora]

Thanks for the donation, Pat! Yeah going to be tough to prepare for Mahomes on a short week even if they're not high-scoring like usual. I just think they need to get healthy. At least as the first step of evaluating things.

[@alexm2889]

It seems like when they open up the offense, it actually works. When they are just feeding najee and praying for a huge hole to open up (which is the entire 1st quarter of every game), it's just 3 and out all day. Still feels like bad playcalling. If the offense could function reliably throughout the game, the defense would hold.

[@lukehare1739]

would have liked to see how fields progressed throughout the season. He gave our offense the explosive run option threat. Without Pickens, defenses don't even respect our offense. Wilson has had some great moments, some good games, but he's cooling off. This will probably be the peak for Cam's productivity and they're going to have to revamp an aging defense. Was really hoping they'd have won 1 of those close losses early in the year because you knew this end to the schedule was down right brutal.

[@user-yt9ro7md2h]

lol Fields couldn’t overcome Dallas’s back up defense and can only throw line drives. Just because Russ might not be good enough,doesn’t make Fields less mediocre.

[@UHSftball54]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@user-yt9ro7md2hand I’m simply saying, I’d have liked to have seen more games with him to develop with the offense. Now we end up just like we have the prior years. Wilson is a 1 trick pony with a moon ball and they never even let fields call audibles. Fields doesn’t deserve near the hate he gets from clowns like you.. he didn’t even commit half the turnovers or sacks Wilson has. Hell, fields prob has 200 passing yards in the first 3 games taken away from him because of Broderick jones penalties.

[@nightryder16]

Just feel like the steelers as a whole have had late season collapses for the past several years.. I mean, it's right around the time where people start bringing up how the 08 steelers went on a run to the SB. 🤦‍♂️

[@findle70]

I think the end of Ben's career, a lot was the age of the OL, and they just got tired and ineffective as the year went on. And now, the issue I see similar is the DL. Cam and Larry O as your primary Run stopping DL, you're gonna risk them getting to the end and just nothing left in the tank. It just opens them up to have their secondary exposed, esp the bench guys. The D is good, when they have all their pieces, and they can work as a unit, they can be effective. But when one piece isn't working well, the whole thing can loose effectiveness.

[@MaritaSanchez-el9tp]

😮❤​@@findle70

[@nightryder16]

@findle70 I respect your opinion but I disagree about the D line.. Cam is having one of his best years at the age of 35. They've been ranked high against the run. The O line has been surprisingly good considering how young they were. And I think people sometimes forget how bad this O line was under Canada. Getting a first down was a struggle. What matters most in the playoffs? The answer is QB and coaches. We seen Brady and Belichek do it for 20 years. Now it's Mahomes and Andy Reid. Tomlin is great coach but just not great in the playoffs

[@83rdDemonCompany]

If we have any chance of beating KC we need pickens, elliot, jpj and donte Jackson healthy. Thats just the truth of it.

[@Zyreath]

And Fields

[@HellxAngelz]

Essentially we need the entire team to be healthy. Yep. If so they should all play chiefs and then rest against bengals, if we win division or not then whatever. Ravens may lose to Texans. We just need all of our starters to compete in the playoffs if we truly want a chance to win it all, if we’re being honest.

@sademayes3767 as per coach dumblin...next man up cause the substandard is the substandard. No excuses...plus it's just one loss..

[@jakemercer1337]

I think we need to start questioning how good this defense really is. When we don't get a pass rush we get exposed both in run and pass defense.

[@HellxAngelz]

I honestly think we should’ve had Nick Herbig and TJ starting Nick runs fast and pressured the QB so quickly with his speed look at our first game vs the ravens. No disrespect to highsmith(I like that he got a fumble at the beginning but that’s like all he did, for two weeks didn’t do much) but Herbig is looking like he’s the deadlier pass rusher. I really truly rather see Nick and TJ out there mostly they’re deadly as a duo, especially because Nick has just gotten that good. It’s so sad to see him not get as many plays in this game, he’s lowkey a game changer and I want him to start. Smh man 😞

[@SneakySnake133]

I mean yeah, any team that loses CB1 and 2, starting safety, starting DT, and the top player is injured is going to take a step back. Idk why everyone thinks they’re Einstein when they point this out.

[@jakemercer1337]

@@SneakySnake133 even when they are fully healthy I don’t think they are as good as we think. Jackson and JPJ can’t hold up in coverage consistently and Minkah has largely underperformed. This was expected to take a step back with those guys out but even when they were healthy they weren’t playing that well.

[@jakemercer1337]

@@HellxAngelz I think Highsmith-Herbig complement each other well. Highsmith starts because he’s the much better run defender.

Yeah when Najee fumbled,it’s at least a rare occasion. Russ is constantly giving up bad fumbles. He barely got touched in that first game against Cleveland and drops the balls running with a wide open field in front of him. He just finds ways to be trash sometimes lol

[@richardgroberto]

Defense has been struggling and the offense isn’t good enough to overcome it against good teams.

[@MrWoodCy]

We wouldn’t have been guaranteed a win without those two turnovers by RW, but it certainly assured the defeat. Our game plan on defence was the keep a man engaged on Lamar and it helped Henry get his stride going. Ravens, like the Eagles are a top 5 squad and losing in their house(s) isn’t a shameful act. However, our weaknesses are being shown for all to see. I believe we can compete with KC on Christmas, so let’s see what happens..

No the season might be saved if he gets knocked out… Fields should be out there anyways… all Russ does is turn it over, throw it in the dirt, or get sacked by either just fucking standing there or running RIGHT INTO the arms of the defenders

The last two games had game changing plays. The Harris fumble and the Wilson fumble. If those two plays don’t happen they are completely different. I’m not saying they would have won but they would have been competitive til the end…

[@TheFrozo619]

Defensive coordinator is costing us these games. Can’t get off the field on 3rd downs, he’s so used to getting pressure through Tj and the other 3, Tj is hurt now and all of a sudden there’s no pressure. Where are the blitzes?? Where’s the disguised coverage to give the offensive line problems? Lot of 3rd downs where the corners and safeties of well beyond the line to gain.

[@99baji99]

Eh, the backups in the secondary just aren't athletic/fast enough. If we recover any of those 4 fumbles it's a coin flip at the wire.

[@Moonbreon23]

Agreed. Didn’t like the Roman Wilson draft pick at all either

[@wellsmoon13]

Russ had a subpar game and our Dline didn't play up to standard. We just didn't jump on the fumbles and basically got trucked. Crap happens. We lost two in a row in our first 6 games. We will recover

[@Zyreath]

Subpar is nice… garbage is more accurate… but that’s who Russ is

[@DanielWlitrout]

People, people here are some numbers for you. The teams they are playing this year had an overall win-loss record of 121-117 last year... mediocre. They have only played 5 teams with a winning record on game day Dallas Chargers Washington Philly and Baltimore twice. They are 3-3 in these games...once again mediocre. As of today the teams they played so far this year have an overall win-loss record of 83-99...... very mediocre.
