Rudolph looks really good throwing the ball, could you please confirm that for us Beach? Running game is clicking Hopefully we can make the playoffs
I think they’ll play their starters for the 1st half and then take it from there on how the game is going
I think they need to stay with Mason, the offense is running a lot smoother with him. The running game is clicking and they need to ride that into the playoffs hopefully. Pickens is playing the way he needs to and he has back to back good games. this defense worries me though, it is really decimated with all the injuries! Hopefully they play better than what they did tonight.
Good: Running game, and look what throwing down the middle and deep does to loosen up a defense. Bad: James Pierre, great ST guy, real liability in coverage. Ugly: Playoff odds are near impossible unless Jacksonville loses vs.The Titans, and they're probably starting Tannehill. Hideous: Watching the Baltimorons celebrate and the media hob knobbing of Jackson. They have surpassed NE for all sports teams I despise. Nothing to do with jealousy or not recognizing talent, I just cannot stand the coach or the players.
If Trubisky wasn’t on our roster I’m sure we would be playing the ravens for the division title next week.
Did Tomlin actually watch the preseason games? Because I saw Rudolph clearly play better than Trubisky. Pickett obviously fooled us with the five drives five TDs performance. But Rudolph was just as clear of a performance in the preseason to qualify as way ahead of Trubisky. Now if they didn’t extend Trubisky we could just say goodbye without any dead cap money, There’s no way in this world that we would possibly keep him. We have to resign Rudolph and have a true open competition for the starter job next season. We need help in a few positions next offseason and QB shouldn’t have to be one of them.
There's a scenario where, even with a loss next week, the Steelers make the playoffs. The Jags have to lose, Broncos win, and Colts/Texans doesn't end in a tie.
Good God the Pickett supporters are still calling for Pickett saying don'took at stats look at the games. Um okay when mason is in there they look like an NFL offense. Even in his one game that he played well the steelers.offense did not.look as good as it did under mason. 13 offensive TDs under Pickett only 1 in the 6 quarters he played not under Canada 2 games for Mason team has 10 offensive TDs But they insist Pickett looks better on tape.post.canada than Mason does. He either has a lot of relatives or pitt Panthers fans are.more.numerous and stupid than I thought.
Charlie Batch said that Rudolph has made the coaches and decision makers look like fools. (having Rudolph as the 3rd stringer)
Anyone else tired of the nonsense year after year with a Tomlin coached team? Seems like every year we need someone to lose to get into the playoffs.In past years I would be happy with the last 2 wins, not anymore, I just can't keep forgiving losing to inferior teams year after year that put the team in the same situation in the last week of the season.
I'm not sold on Kenny as far as the longterm solution, but I think we get one of the three we lost if he was in there. Arizona, although inferior, is a different animal with Murray and the Colts are not dramatically worse than the Steelers. I've been on and off the Tomlin must go train, but, sometimes you are what your QB is. Just ask Belichick
Same nonsense happened with Ben at QB, Belichick took full advantage having a QB like Brady, Tomlin did not with Ben. Besides being tired of the nonsense, tired of the excuses too.
One thing that I try and look at on our roster is size. . Take our QB room, Rudolph is much bigger than the other two. Looking at the draft and all the QB's I am not sold on any of the 6-1 guys, sorry but I don't think they are going to hold up or be able to see over the lineman. That ball Rudolph threw to Pickens to win the game, Trubisky and Pickett would have never seen him, yeah it's a game of inches. Sadly the FO and coaching staff got stuck on draft position and salary. The 49ers just played the best guy who happened to be the cheapest option with the lowest draft choice, Brock Purdy. They cut ties with Garapolo who I never understood the man crush on anyhow, guy is built like a matchstick and is always hurt. They also cut loose Trey Lance the 3rd overall pick in the draft. Incidently Trubisky was the 2nd overall pick. And that means jack shit because the dude sucks. Good ole Kev gave us that 8M turd on his way out. I think PIttsburgh can win in Baltimore, the games are always close, usually a FG decides them.
If Trebiskquit and the Steelers didn’t have such a horrible showing against the Colts, I honestly don’t think Tomlin would have ever made the switch to Rudolph. Had that game been a one score victory Tomlin would have stuck with him. Tomlin plays to win 1 score games and is content playing like that, look back at the past couple of seasons and minus the past 2 games, he doesn’t coach to dominate teams. This is a serious problem, and not a mindset that I think he’s willing to change, unfortunately.
The Steelers have always played close games. They really don’t like to put the points on their opponents.
The Steelers don't possess the talent to dominate teams. I'm not saying Tomlin is the greatest coach but, the fact that this team is in position for the playoffs with their three headed QB monster is nothing short of amazing. It astounds me that Steelers fans somehow think that this team is a powder keg of talent just waiting to explode with proper coaching. Colbert reached for talent in his last few drafts instead of rebuilding the trenches and now they're paying for it.
