2023 Steelers Season Thread

It’s a win. Have to give props to the defense. Really odd game that Baltimore has to be scratching their head over.
Offensively we stunk till we had to open things up along with Warren balling out.

Todays game was actually fun to watch, honestly, I don't think I've ever seen two teams more pathetic, and if Baltimore IS, the top team in our division, our division is a joke.

I don't call this a win, its a Baltimore give away.

[Devo]

I could make the case that Baltimore is also a huge proponent of the Rooney rule, notice something?

I've been saying "NEW OWNERS", and more and more people are starting to agree.

"The woke bullshit?" LOL I guess I shouldn't be surprised that you're mad at football players being against racism. You don't have to watch. You don't have to make your off topic comments in this thread. This thread is about the 2023 Steelers season. Nothing to do with "woke bullshit."

New Owners? More and more people agree? Who are these "more and more people" that you speak of? Angry facebook commenters? Every game is still sold out, the season ticket waiting list is long, revenue increases every year, and Steelers jersey sales are still amongst the top teams in the league. The Rooneys are not giving up ownership any time soon. Art is grooming family as we speak. Try again.





Not the prettiest win today, but a win nonetheless. 3-2 and in first place going into the bye isn't all that bad. Future HOF coachTomlin has never "lost the team" and he hasn't lost this one. They definitely played more physical today, which is what he said that they needed to do.

I'm not ready to call for the ousting of KP. I'm judging him by what he is, a young QB who's somewhere around 15 or 16 starts into his career. There will be ups and downs. He played a decent game today and came up big when they needed him to, with the fifth 4th quarter comeback of his young career.

I'd prefer if Gunnar never touches another football for the Steelers. He fumbles or muffs the ball way too often. The few plays he makes are not worth the risk.

I think it's an almost unanimous opinion now that Matt Canada should be fired.

Two mediocre teams trying to find a way to lose. The Ravens accomplished that. On the bright side, I think Broderick Jones Wally Pipped Dan Moore and Porter Jr should start. Highsmith was possessed, no sacks but 11 pressures. Pickett called an audible and dropped a dime to Pickens for the game winner. They’re not going anywhere tho.

Oh yea, and Joey Porter Jr. made a great clutch play today, and has been doing well all season in the limited number of snaps that he's been getting. I'm ready to see him start at outside cb and let Pat P play slot. I think he's gonna be great. Great move by the Kahn artist, especially seeing that Claypool just got traded for a 6th/7th round pick exchange.

He had a strip sack.

He had great coverage on the int. What was Lamar thinking. Should have never thrown it. After the game, Jackson blamed too many drops. While true, that’s not a locker room morale booster. The Ravens might implode.

Yet both teams have winning records.

You can call the Stars and Stripes the Italian flag, but that doesn't make it so. It was a win. Counts just as much as the prettier win against the Raiders.

Yep. I was there and then watched the play a few times later on youtube. Great bump and run. I think Lamar was probably thinking a rookie 1 on 1 against Beckham Jr., but I bet he'll give Porter more respect next time.

His receivers did look really bad today, but I've heard it said that to be a great leader, a QB should accept all the blame and deflect all the praise.

Old school football

No wonder they were dropping passes

Says it all.

Gotta give props to Larry O., hustling downfield to cause a fumble.

This is the way Tomlin likes to win, keep it close and rely on the defense and they'll probably have a winning record again and draft middle, stay middle.

We will never have a great QB unless Tomlin is gone or he is forced to hire a strong OC and told to give him free reign. When Tomlin took over Ben was already established so he couldn't damage him too much. Any young QB that has come in under Tomlin is told to be too conservative making them hesitant to take chances and thereby developing.

As much as I love a win, I wish they would lost and gave Canada the exit door. This offense is horrible and the online is one of the worse in the NFL. Pickett is always under pressure. Maybe time for rooney to scrap the coaching staff and start a new era in Pittsburgh
I don't think Tomlin is a bad coach, he is good but not great by any means. Sometimes even with a good coach, a fresh change is needed. Canada is horrible and that's Tomlinson guy so he is to blame also
And this bullshit of not starting porter is dumb

Canada wouldn’t have been fired if they lost yesterday. That would mean Rooney/Tomlin made a mistake by bringing him back. That ain’t happening.
