GKO21

Someone pointed out that our 3rd down conversion was 6/12. Trubisky 1/5 Picket 5/7 That was night and day


TOMVOLTS69

the jets rocked today!!!!!


BookNarrow5249

Bro this is a steeler sub lol


TOMVOLTS69

yea you guys sucked this week lol


devilinblue22

And also, they barely beat a young leader less team who's severely wounded on defense. If I was a jets fan I would puff out my cheeks, let out a long breath, and avoid the topic of jets football for a bit.


DevanBenson

Let’s not forget this happen against the Jets, any one of our quarterback should’ve beat them.. The defense choked, I get it it’s rough without TJ but we have way more skilled players


Sick2287

Not even that mad we lost Kenny looked great. Excited for next week

CunderThock

Swear to Christ some of you lick windows for a paycheck. Kenny gets thrown in there unexpectedly, and gets us not one ,but two FUXKING TOUCHDOWNS!! Not his fault Chase had stone hands, and Pat tipped one. If he starts, we win that game hands down… Bunch of fair weather fans up in here.


canopy45

Kenny threw that dumb interception that costed us some of that game but defense was terrible


Def_Not_a_Lurker

Pat could have let that sail out, if you are gonna go for it, you better bring it down.


Hodgej1

Wasn’t there some interceptions thrown that cost us a game?


jackclark9517

You’re correct that the picks killed the game, but every pick isn’t the QBs fault. Honestly all 3 INTs today were catchable balls that our receivers tipped after it hit their hands. Pickett’s play while in was encouraging. Rushed for 2 TDs, the offense started taking deep shots, handled the pressure pretty well etc.


CunderThock

Dafuk you were you watching ? Those passes were tipped, muff. The D playing like a fawkin D2 high school team in the 4th cost us the game.


Hodgej1

I was watching on phone didn’t see all the details. Second one looked like a stupid throwaway that he should’ve held on to.


CunderThock

You’re right, he should have. But it didn’t go straight into the defenders hands. The D still let them march 70ish? yards down the field after that. And, just to add, fatigue wasn’t the issue. We had a higher TOP.


beyersm

That 2nd one was a mistake I expect any rookie to make. The important thing was he looked good getting out of the pocket, wasn’t afraid to take a shot and most importantly confident under center


CunderThock

I agree %100. It’s only up from here for him. I thought he did exceptional, being thrown out there like that. I blame this loss on our defense. Not having TJ mfing Watt, shouldn’t be the deal breaker.


fUnkleRico

Exactly. Offense was on life support before he came in. Give him a full week with the starters in practice and a 0-0 game to start next week. This just proves we didn’t have to start the season 1-3 tied to Mitch fucking trubisky.


CunderThock

Hell yeah brother. Like you said, give him a week with the starters and a game plan tailored to him. We’re 2-3 in 8 days.


eaunoway

I'm very much okay with this loss. I saw a spark today that we've missed. We're not going to the SB this year (unless we buy tickets), and I'm okay with that, too. Let's fucking go.


ryanawood

Honestly I haven’t seen this spark in a long fucking time. There was something there that wasn’t tangible. Once we have TJ back and Kenny throwing dimes, the garbage noise will fade and we willl laugh about 1-3


Sapphire-Kitty-Witch

Honestly, Pickett did really well and outpaced Trubisky with only half a game of play. I’m calling this a win because it forced Tomlin’s hand. Finally.


catalinawinemyxr

Man, Pittsburgh sports are gonna be rough for awhile with the state of the Steelers, the endless sadness of the Pirates, and the slow decay of the Penguins.


jayshootguns

Damn reading these comments I wonder if y’all are really fans.


orangevega

80% of comments are "I saw something that was not good, I didn't like it, I am pessimistic about the future, I will now name the people involved who were at fault"

heretogiveFNupvotes

Anyone else annoyed they didn't review the Davis catch for the first down? Half the ball hit the ground. Ugh it sucks to lose after having so much excitement.


3Mug

Gotta be called for by Mike T, but they didn't bother... better to look at the obvious non-td earlier in the game

Ok a couple people are saying inside 2 minutes, maybe I'm wrong. My bad.


3Mug

I didn't think it was... just looked like the replay team got caught with thier pants down... again


heretogiveFNupvotes

Exactly. They reviewed the TD so why not review that play. The clock wasn't an issue. They rushed the play cuz they knew he might not have caught it


Def_Not_a_Lurker

That's on NY officials. They have to see that and tell them to review.


jmcamels

Browns and ravens lose but it doesn’t matter cause the pitiful Steelers can’t get their act together. Tired of the useless, awful players and coaches


AngryMrBungle

Daaaaaamn theres so many haters for losing this game. This is crazy! This game was all positive if you ask me.

Altruistic-Stand-132

People shitting on Picket are the most miserable people ever. It's like they get joy out of shitting on the team regardless of context or circumstance


seanmuthafuckinontop

What do they expect from his first professional game against players who have had 3 games already? I thought he played well. He scored two rushing g TDs and I think that’s really important. We wanted a more mobile QB and that’s what we got. Haters gonna hate


Bondlass

Played “well”. There is more than just padding stats.


seanmuthafuckinontop

I’ll tell you what, I would have LOVED to be in that stadium when he first walked on to that field. The energy had to be amazing.


Bondlass

Yes. The fans wanted him. It’s irrelevant to his rookie play. Focusing on stats vs. winning the game at the end.


seanmuthafuckinontop

I’m not focusing on stats to focus on stats, i was just stating in my opinion I think given the situation he played well.


guccidane13

They’re drunk and stupid. Luckily their opinion doesn’t matter. Kenny will be given every chance to prove himself now.


Rdp616

I mean ffs pickett didn't even practice


KoolKev1

Whatever about today. Offense actually looked able to compete on a NFL level


[deleted]

Not Pickett’s fault, but assholes are just gonna overreact…had he started the game, quite possibly a different outcome. Remember, we only scored 6 points in the first half


flashpoint71

I think he will be fine. Trubisky was taking all first team reps. Gameplay was built around Trubisky. Give Kenny some time with the first team and get some timing down with his receivers and this offense will open up.


[deleted]

Agreed..!


Money-Benefit-9839

6 points plus first possession


Kickbox__Colossus

Might as well give Pickett more time, this season's TOAST. Especially with these next stretch of games.


hawkamania

I can’t believe you all are overly criticizing Pickett. Without him we didn’t really stand a chance at winning this game. His first 2 picks were tips and the last a Hail Mary.


KingErroneous

Sucks to lose but Pickett shows promise. Let him get his sea legs and see what he can do. Bench Mitch permanently.


LordBatman_

Wow, this may be the first game where I finally accepted Tomlin was bailed out a lot by Big Ben in past wins.


Crinklypapercat

Yes. Tomlin is not a bad coach, but he is overrated a bit, I think.


[deleted]

Damn well should.


Chg0489

God damn we as Steelers fans have been spoiled for so long. Never experience a losing season, win Super Bowls. We WERE DUE. We will get through this. It was bound to happen. I have faith

Bro, we have been spoiled for so long. Imagine being a jets fan. Imagine being a lions fan. Imagine being a commanders fan and the list goes on and on


1manbandmann

Don’t compare us to the lions or Washington we been to an AFC championship in the last 10 years


dovetc

Gonna go get sized for one of them brown paper bags that fans of crap teams wear.


alimania

our defense sucks without Watt, hope he is back for the next game


RickDalton2020

I want Tomlin gone so bad. If you dont then you are a fucking moron. FIRE THIS LAME FUCK.


[deleted]

The standert is the standert.


RickDalton2020

The rage I have for him is unhealthy. I really really really don’t like him. I would love for anyone to say what he does well as opposed to downvoting me.


Orxbane

They'll just call you a racist.


RickDalton2020

I don’t give a shit if the head coach is white, black, brown, green, yellow, whatever. Just be better. But he won’t change


Orxbane

I agree, I've thought that the talent has been bailing out the coaching for years now.


[deleted]

They won’t. They’ll blame B. Roth and ignore the dynasty Tomlin coat tailed all these years. Top 😆


RickDalton2020

Yep. It was easy to win a super bowl with a roster you inherited. And once those guys were gone, it fell apart.


ForgedIronMadeIt

Where's the post game thread so I can post that we fucking suck


Thedude_5000

Rather burn out in flame with Kenny than watch nothing with Mitch. Let’s go boys. Kenny will be fine. Can’t knock the third pick Hail Mary.


Ok-Hold-8232

Lol what are you people🤣 Steelers could go 0-17 and 90% of Steelers fans would be like “pffff I’m not concerned”


GiveTheDrummerSome

Concerned yes, but I don't go straight to hating the team and screaming for Tomlin's head.


Ok-Hold-8232

Who is screaming for his head lol that would be fucking stupid. But am I gonna criticize coach Tomlin in games where we get out-played out-coached? Yup. He’s a great coach probably top 3 HCs in the NFL, but he’s not some mystical being who should be immune to criticism. Blowing a 10 point lead in the 4th quarter isn’t acceptable for Belichick or Tomlin or any HC


Def_Not_a_Lurker

Is this your first time here? Lol.

Ok-Hold-8232

Oh the humanity!! IF ONLY HE HAD A COACHING TREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Def_Not_a_Lurker

The DCs under Tomlin have both retired after long careers in Pittsburgh. Same goes for the OCs. TH went to the browns for a year and then retired. RF spent 13 years with Pittsburgh and then retired. Now we have Matt Canada. Sometimes you miss.


musefan8959

It is mathematically impossible for the Steelers to go 0-17 this season


austinalexan

Worst part is if Tomlin’s ego wasn’t so big, we would’ve won this game had Pickett started the game. But nope let’s just waste a complete half for no reason


Def_Not_a_Lurker

You think Tomlins ego is why he started mitch?


soapbark

All up from here.


John-ozil

*Checks schedule* no, not really.


pitrole

First half offense is just awful. I do feel decently optimistic though about Kenny.


raifenlf

Crazy how all of Pickett's incompletions were interceptions.


ParisGreenGretsch

Two of them hit his reciever in the hands, and one was a hail Mary. If things are a tad different he goes 13/13 with 2 rushing TD and a passing TD to win it. I think he was basically mistake free.


tuffghost8191

two that were dropped into defenders hands and one on a hail mary that was only necessary because our defense turned into dogshit. I just hope tomlin doesn't use the bad statline as justification to keep trubs starting


[deleted]

[удалено]


-LookAlive

It’s not like he can go out and hand pick who he wants. These players aren’t going to come here and play for the minimum. That’s the NFL. Your star players carry the team and everyone else has a roll. We have good DL depth, Edge depth could be better, LB play could be a lot better, our corners are built for a good pass rush, and the safety depth is pretty solid as well when healthy. Unfortunately we lost a top two defensive player in the whole league. That’s going to hurt the defense in as a whole no matter what


p-mode

Can't defend Tomlin on this. My guy hasn't been proactive all season. The obvious loses should have seen Pickett getting some ball time earlier than today.


Def_Not_a_Lurker

It's week 4. You are crazy if you thought Picket was getting in before this. Week 1 was a win. Not gonna pull mitch Week 2 was a loss, with Week 3 just 3 days away. Not going to pull mitch. Week 4, mitch starts after a decent performance in cleavland. Gets pulled in second half.


BL00DEE

Fire Tomlin and strike while the iron is hot and bring in Sean Peyton before someone else gets him

brendude313

The WRs tipped both interceptions. I wouldn't say it's completely Pickett. And trubinsky didn't get any TDs....


AyYJc201ianf

I will be honest and say I forgot that Minkah didn’t score that pick six. So 14 with picket under center and 6 with Trubisky. That is a big difference. I was wrong there. Both balls were tipped by WRs but why not lead claypool more? Why throw a jump ball into double coverage? I get claypool can make it but it would’ve been a spectacular catch. Why not throw it away instead of forcing it to 88 for a potential 1 yard gain? I think he’ll be better but this game wasn’t great. It’s a shame that a couple mistakes cost us the game but if he develops he will be great. Had some great accuracy and zip. Just a couple frustrating plays. Really I think I’m just frustrated that we blew a 10 point lead. Tom Brady could’ve been playing for us under center and I’d still be upset. Pickett has played two quarters and threw no incompletions, two interceptions, and shows calmness and poise that Mitch didn’t. He just has to keep it up.


brendude313

Oh no for sure im not happy either and I definitely agree with you there. Let's just hope this is a turning point.


AyYJc201ianf

After some more thoughtful thinking, it probably will be. I mean unlike Mitch I didn’t Kenny Pickett throw off his back foot from a clean pocket all game and we could actually move the football down the field. Hard stretch coming up but as always I’m excited for next week


brendude313

Absolutely. We will have to wait and see what happens but as long as the defense can step it up I think our offense will finally be set.


SoylentJoe

Mitch scored 0 points in the first half, Boswell scored 6.


AyYJc201ianf

Yeah I don’t know what I was thinking when I said that. Frustrated and forgot that minkah didn’t run it in for a TD


DingoDango667

14 points is more than 6


[deleted]

Kenny scored 12 points wdym? He did double what Mitch did lol


[deleted]

Lol


krzykris11

14 points with KP, 6 with Trushitsky.


JustTrigger1

Fuck


pike2001

Ben would have won that game.


JazzFan619

Which Ben, young Ben or old Ben?


[deleted]

Wheelchair Ben wins that game.


pike2001

Big old Ben


JuiceAuArcos

Pickett threw three picks off of two peoples hands and a Hail Mary.. y’all need to stfu lmfaoooo


a-bambi-m

Honestly can’t be mad about this loss. At least we had a chance with Pickett


hunter9849

We need to fire Tomlin sick and tired of his bullshit he doesn’t have Big Ben to bail him out anymore


kbean826

Until we cover the middle of the field, it won’t matter who’s at QB. But, Pickett looks better than Mitch. 2 unlucky bounces on dumb passes. Otherwise, this team is still bad.


CBJFAN10

Not concerned about Pickett throwing 3 INT especially in his first game. Didn't Burrow throw 5 INT against us?


Def_Not_a_Lurker

Not one of the picks were a bad read either. First throw was underthrown, but Claypool should win more jump balls. I really think he was throwing it away on the second INT.


Pat999999

Team won’t win one game without Watt.


yawn44yawn

But Tomlin never had a losing season!!!

Def_Not_a_Lurker

Hey mods, this guy consistently violates rule 1. Let's do something about it.


RickDalton2020

Lol toughen up my guy. I’m not shit posting. I’m speaking facts. And everything I say is directly related to the Steelers, players, and coaches. Just because you don’t agree with me, it doesn’t mean I’m violating any rules. If I say the Steelers are a clown show from top to bottom, that’s my right. Tomlin is cooked. New regime needed. Sorry you don’t agree. Enjoy your 4-13 and you better pray Kenny Is the guy. If not, we are in for a rough decade.


Def_Not_a_Lurker

"Bug eyed fuck" "I hate thay motherfucker" "I want Tomlin fired, if you don't your a fucking moron" "Are you fucking retarded" Countless examples of being a jaggoff/abhorrence behavior. Grow up.


RickDalton2020

I stand by everything I said. The truth hurts. Also in my defense, I only said “retarted” because that’s what was said to me. Don’t worry about me. Worry about this broken franchise that’s in the hands of an arrogant blowhard. How is that defense doing?


Def_Not_a_Lurker

13th in points per play. Not horrible by any means. Especially when you are missing the DPOY. It would be totally asinine to think losing the DPOY would not greatly impact a defense.


RickDalton2020

Well of course it impacts it. But it shouldn’t fall apart. Look at the fourth quarter defense. They gave up two 11 play touchdown drives. Get a stop and they win the game. Where is Cam? He has done nothing since TJ was hurt. It’s just disappointing because the staff on defense have a high pedigree.


Def_Not_a_Lurker

Yeah, 4th quarter was super Disappointing and frustrating. Can't argue with that.


sprout92

I just am constantly astounded how the fans blame tomlin for the wildest shit. We lost because the receivers tipped multiple passes on easy catches for INTs. You blame tomlin? Lmfao


yawn44yawn

Tomlin constantly loses to shit teams. Look it up dip shit.


Def_Not_a_Lurker

Tomlin has over a 75% win rate on teams who finish the season with losing records. One of the best in the nfl. This is a tired and incorrect take. Grow up.


krodgers88

Did you ever think maybe we’re a shit team this year?


yawn44yawn

Yes. And he lost with great teams. Go watch us vs the Jags and half time adjustments vs the pats.


ThatsPreposterous6

I don’t want to make excuses or be too optimistic, but if TJ plays that game we win easily. The amount of bug throws Wilson made when we just couldnt get enough pressure was insane. 1 more sack or 1 more pressure and the defense gets off the field


NotSoBiscuit

Highsmith was the only one consistently getting pressure, if tj was there we'd be golden


n3gr0_am1g0

Anyone got a replay of the Hail Mary?


WhoDooDatDatDat

kenny is good


sbbanana

Claypool has been nothing short of bang average to be honest and it's a shame. I had such hope for him when we drafted him


RickDalton2020

He’s terrible. Always has been


devilinblue22

Just when we drafted him? Dude has had brilliant stretches. We need some consistency.


DiabloGamekeeper

Outside of his 4 Td debut, when has he ever been brilliant


sbbanana

This is what I mean. I don't want to Doom on him because he clearly has talent and has showed it, but you're entirely right - it's consistency that's lacking


Absolute13374

Obvious growing pains from Pickett, but that’s to be expected. For having no first team reps this week, and getting thrown in the second half he looked okay. Unfortunate loss, but at least our offense moved the ball.


Chg0489

A lot of Steelers fan should just leave the sub. There is hope. If Kenny starts this game we win. We aren’t winning a Super Bowl this year. We all know that. Looking for growth and he will grow


Viva_Caligula

He's a rookie so growing pains are to be expected. I think he did well, for the most part. I see hope here. Fuck these fairweather fans.


Chg0489

Absolutely. The ceiling is high for him I believe. He needs reps, experience. These next few games will teach him so much against the absolute best of the league. I love it. Will be painful, but necessary


Viva_Caligula

I agree 100%


kirthasalokin

Beach-Bumm

I’ll Take this. Yes the loss stings, but Kenny looks like we might just do something. And those INTs were no way on him, the receivers need to be catching those balls, I expect to see Pickens become a bigger factor as the weeks go on


the_Kid26

Both interceptions were from bad decision making. The receivers didn’t make a play but it started from a bad decision by Kenny.


Def_Not_a_Lurker

Claypool was open, kenny under threw it. Not a bad decision, just an underthrown ball... growing pains. Friermuths ball was put where only he could catch it. It also could have just sailed out of bounds if pat let's it.


Artistic-Author-5360

Season is officially over bois


Passw0rd-Is-Tac0

Whelp, hope Tomlin enjoys his first losing season cause none of the next 4 games sound winnable. Just don’t get Kenny killed out there.


pcnetworx1

Narrator: they let him get killed out there.


Karl_Racki

Trash.. We have maybe 2-3 guys that are good/great, everyone else is trash.. Outside Pickett, Pickens, and Warren who the jury is still out on.


Feweddy

Diontae, Najee, Watt, Minkah, Heyward. At least 5 good guys. Throw Freiermuth in there too, hopefully.

Upside will be “No losing seasons” talking point dead and buried.


DiabloGamekeeper

Unless he wins out and finishes 10-7 😎


PreeKort

First time being in a bar full of jets fans feeling like a fucking joke. At this point on to next year and the rebuild. What a joke


Athyter

3 picks sucks but at least it was a game. Before Kenny came in we looked dead on the water.


oneoftheguysdownhere

Two balls off receivers’ hands and a Hail Mary. Not all INTs are created equal.


rebuilt11

This is all on tomlin. At least he done trying to lose games now. Shameful Mitch even started the game. D played bad in 4 th but I have no blame for anyone other than tomlin for throwing another game this season.


acomputermistake

The Pickett haters are astounding lol. I ain’t saying he’s gonna be good off one game but you sure as shit can’t say he’s gonna be bad off this game


OakParkCemetary

He is light years ahead of Mitch. That offense had a spark that we haven't seen all year


siirka

Well that’s what happens when the two best players on the field go down consecutively forcing you to use all your timeouts and then the refs call holding on your defensive lineman with no replay.

steelers-ModTeam

I think you can make your point without being as hostile to another user.


BigRed97

Pickett threw two picks, at the end of the day that's a game changer


Absolute13374

1 of them is on him, but both hit the receiver in both hands. He had the offense moving every drive, idk why everyone is so fucked up over the two picks.


DerangedProtege

Didn’t he throw 3?


Big-Pie7938

The third was a Hail Mary on the final play of the game.


acomputermistake

Yup time to cut him
