very good start

Feed DK, Warren rumblin stumblin for good yards

of course 3rd and long sucks for the Steeers D

Play calling is **** - 1st and goal at the 9 and nothing

please get the ball to Washington out on the edge with those tiny guys - he abuses them

1st half - d solidified (mostly) after the first drive

why have gainwell in with 1st and goal at the 9?????

******* tackle somebody...stop throwing shoulders expecting tem to fall down

ramsey is a ******* idiot

Duggers can actually catch odd for a Steeler defender

let rudy throw deep..he sucks in the red zone

Gainwell making rudy look good taking short passes and gaining big yardage

Johnson actually had a couple nice runs today

Rudy didn't suck ***, but he did not light it up either - still not a fan of him

Defensive scores twice - that is all it takes not to be sweating out a victory in the final minutes

Duggars and Pierre with huge plays - both were solid today



Hope Warren and AAron are not hurt too badly
 
Rudy pretty much played the same game Rodgers did, but with a better stat line. And as is typical of Steelers fans, they’ll downgrade or rip on it.

I thought the offense looked better with Rudolph.
 
Per Tomlin Rodgers " Will be evaluated in the morning" wrist injury...nothing else till tomorrow. It of course is his non throwing arm.
 
Over the past few weeks, the defense has been playing more like it was expected to this season, holding three good offenses in check for the most part.

With or without Rodgers, I'm not sure the Steelers offense has enough juice to do much in the post season if they get there.

It's not like Rodgers has been lighting the world on fire in recent weeks and has kind of been looking his age, to he honest.

It's popular to **** on Rudolph, but the he has never been as bad as most Steelers fans paint him, and actually played pretty well at the end of 2023 for the team.

There might not be that much of a drop-off if Rudolph has to play for an extended period.

Defense did a good job today against Flacco and Chase. Not so good against the run but overall good job by the defense.
The offense is not good, period. Doesn’t matter who the QB is they stink. Should have boat raced this defense ranked last in the league.
A win is a win though and they absolutely had to have this game with three tough games coming up.
 
Offense looked no different with Rogers vs Rudolph

Gainwell was a good signing this off-season

Kyle Duggar has nice hands out there

James Pierre should never take a back seat to Darius Slay on this roster

Jalen Ramsey is one dumb A$$!

I hate this offensive play calling with Arthur Smith! He's GOTTA GO!

How bad is Rogers injury? I don't have much faith in Rudy.......I wouldn't mind seeing Will Howard!

Darnell Washington is a frikkin BEAST! He punked a LB'er into the turf today....was beautiful!
 
Kind of a weird game today. A good win that we certainly needed going forward. Our redzone play calling at times is just bizarre. They have to clean this up. Good effort by our D. Until his brain fart I thought Ramsey was having a good game back there. Who would have thought a guy named Duggers could be our best Defensive signing? As much as we give our coaches **** we have to give them credit for the defensive game today. Most of the time I just don’t get our offensive philosophy.

Our QB play the last 5 years has been horrible. Aaron came in and saved the day. Yet I am concerned about his absolute happy feet and panicked throwing in the RedZone the last few games. I hope going forward they actually let Mason throw the ball down the field.

This part. All things being equal, the offense seemed to run smoother with Rudy. Also, say what you want about the guy, but Rudolph stands in the pocket and will take the hit for a completion. Something that, given his age, A Aron is less likely to be comfortable doing.
 
Warren, Gainwell, Washington were good. Rudy did well but was severely aided by the terrible Bengal defense. For example 1st and 25 dump off pass and we get the first. Defense was pretty solid overall especially considering the first game. It was a good win, but not going to get too excited considering how bad cincys defense is. Only 3 wins to go for the tomlinship

I also thought the offense picked up with him in.

He has always had a strong arm. So was glad to see his success…
 
I'm most impressed by the defense today. I wish they had played like this the first game vs the bungles.

As much as everyone is pissed off at Ramsey , I think he got spit on, or atleast he says he did. I'll take his word on it.

It did fire the defense up even more, so it thankfully didn't cost them.

Two defensive touchdowns! TWO. I think the pick 6 is one of the most exciting plays in football. It's rare. And taking one 74 yards to the house? hell yeah. What a swing.


Darnell Washington is a hell of a football player. The guy is the size of a damn OT and he has that kind of athletic ability. He needs used more often and the Steelers need more smash like that in their game.

He will certainly be on the highlight reels all week.
 
My feeling on the Chase/Ramsey Dustup. They ****** up the first saw off call. That was a hell of a lot more Chase. I knew Chase had spit on him. You could see him recoil. He has to be more discipline but it certainly lit a fire under the team and Joey punked him pretty good in the end. I didn't hate it the way it worked out. Absolutely painful refs today. Like ****** brutal both ways and all around.
