2023 Week 16 All Around the NFL Game thread

[w87r]

Steelers are crazy.... Lol, I would've been at half with this 21-0 lead long ago.

 

 

Just might work out for them though.

This is stupid.  Risking a turnover.  Just run it out.

Thought the same thing, but now I agree with Tomlin. HAHA

[SwedishColt]

The Steelers looking like a different team this week. What a difference secen days make.

Rudolph has been in this system a long time.  Has made a major difference.

5-4-1 as starter for them 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

It’s good. They get call back in second half too.

Not bad for a backup.

7 days later, he'd refuse to block for his RB. Here we would go again..

 

But, he can catch and make some Big plays, now and then...

That was awesome. Apparently Pickins had a hard week being trashed because he is known as being physical.

Pickens didn't want to block for his RB Warren, when the play could've resulted in TD. That's opposite of being physical.

 

Warren later said he'd have blocked for Pickens, just like how 99% of football players play the game.

Hopefully have 6-7 minute drive to open the half

What’s crazy about that is he is known to be physical. A little out of character.

That's not it...

 

Bengals are playing timid whenever they play Steelers and they play like Champs when they play others... You'll see Rudolph ruining Steelers season next week, he's okay but not that good. Bengals are making him look better than he's. 

[jvan1973]

How did we get blown out by the Bengals

Some but it makes a difference when the QB has been in this system a few years.

Speed not playing. Bradley was so worried about their WR he gave them all those screen passes. He should have not been worried about the sceeens and made browning  throw deep more.

Yeah, basically he's physical when the ball comes to him.

 

He stops playing when he has to block for run plays. Diontae Johnson also did the same earlier..

 

Something about Steelers receivers, that's typically out of character with the culture of rest of their team.

Then why didn't he start over Mitch before?

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I am glad Minshew has played all season. At least we don’t have to worry about a backup having a few hot games and then magic wears  off.

Ask Tomlin that. Lol

That doesn't explain the offense not playing well

The defense didn’t know what a screen pass was.

Our oline and backs forgot how to run as well I guess

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Hopefully chargers get an interim HC bounce. If Herbert was. Playing there might be a chance but I don’t see it from Stick.

[JediXMan]

If the Bills, Colts win and Jags lose they'll be on the outside looking in that's crazy.

That is really crazy.  Imagine going from 4 to out.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Hopefully colts win so we can sit back and scoreboard watch jags without worrying about colts  tomorrow.

[#12.]

The Steelers have a habit of making the playoffs when everyone thought they were dead.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Bengals look like Steelers did last week.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

If crap

[RollerColt]

You can tell the Bengals are feeling it now. Taylor is getting desperate in his play calling.

I had a bad feeling about this week. Steelers will win, Texans will win, Bills will win and we’ll lose… 

 

I think the season is way too long. It’s too much on a player to play for this many weeks. 
 

Not going to lie, I’d be okay will a 12 week season and having playoffs around the holidays. 
 

But I know that would interfere with the stupid college football format…

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Well that was fast and easy by Bengals. I don’t trust this Steelers defense.

Tee Higgins effect. He can be so explosive.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I imagine the pressure of the plane ride triggered the symptoms. Probably good that it happened.

Wouldn’t be shocked if the news about him not remembering the play triggered further investigations and led to the team deciding to sit him. 

[SwedishColt]

This game is crazy! Pickens is having himself a day.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

That might do it. 
 

Regarding Pittman it will be a big loss but I can see Minshew speeding the ball around more  and not forcing it. They won’t be able to key in in one receiver.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

It’s also rainy and cold and nasty when colts left. Makes you wonder how they can tell concussion from sinus headaches.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Colds about to move to 6.

[SwedishColt]

It seemed too good to be true that Pitt got back from that injury without missing any time. Obviously it will be a huge loss but we will need him for the games against the Raiders and Texans even more.

 

Its time for a vintage JT performance tomorrow. RTDB down the Falcons throats.

[teganslaw]

The Colts lucked out having Trubisky play instead of Rudolph.  This is a completely different Steelers team. 

[w87r]

Pittsburgh's not playing very smart.

 

 

You have a 23pt lead, just chew up another :45 on 3rd and 12....

Huge loss unfortunately.
