Defense actually played good enough to win. The offense had chances to score and didn’t get the job done. Next week will be extremely difficult in Philadelphia. The Steelers have been historically bad when in that place. The ugly is 4 easy ints dropped.
The Good...the defense after the first quarter was excellent, except the dropped INTs. The Bad...Najee Harris just isn't getting it done. The Ugly...Kenny Pickett's INTs at the end of the game. In those moments, Pickett needs to make plays to his teammates not the opposition. Hard to get used to a QB that doesn't get it done in the closing moments. Hopefully that changes.
Ben finished those. It would've been 17-16. Oh well though. I feel like Pickett has better days ahead.
Good: goal line defense , Pickens catch. Minkah . Bad: offense stinks, some of this is on Canada! How many F@$&ing drives started with Najee up the middle for 1-3 yards. Ugly: interceptions and shoulda had interceptions . I’ll also throw in that blown PI call on Mapletron , that would have swung momentum. A 23 yard punt. Are you f$&@ing kidding me?
Good: The D adjusted and really played well, minus the dropped picks. Pickens continues to amaze me. The TD drive before the half was nice. Bad: O couldn't take advantage of the 2nd half shutout. Pickett had 2 bad INTs. Ugly: Converted 3rd downs but 2 penalties on the second to last drive. Killer. I think they lose to Philly but, Oh well. I remember Burrow losing a lot as a rookie but they threw him in anyway. Pickett should be in there IMO. He's too tough to lose confidence so let him sling it. I think it will pay off. They'll draft high with a chance to shore up the trenches. I'm still team Kenny(No offense to Mitch).
I’m thinking BPA if we have a high pick next draft. You have to add studs not reach for a need. When you reach you fail.
Yes but not a WR or a QB. Target: OL, DL, Edge/LB Myles Jack Is on a one year deal, Bush isn’t explosive. And they cannot evaluate CB to save their sorry ass so FA to a proven starter . would be crazy if Miles Murphy fell to them. Man RUN to the podium
Obviously not QB, WR, RB or K. But if a stud oline, dline, edge, lb or db is there we have to pull the trigger. No trade backs, let’s get a good plug and play stud. We look like we’ll pick top ten the way this season is going. I can’t remember the last time we picked top ten. Bradshaw and Green were number one overall picks.
Ben was #11 , Woodson was # 10 overall . Devin Bust was #10 but really they reached . Undersized and then the ACL killed what speed he had. That career ending injury to Ryan Shazier set this franchise back 10 years.
