[Maurile Tremblay]

Go.

 

[JoeSteeler]

nice start so far

 

[fred_1_15301]

Great int by Ramsey.  Dude is a stud

 

[Hilts]

Great int by Ramsey.  Dude is a stud

That was an impressive snag.

 

[BobbyLayne]

great collision between Ivory and Shazier

Fournette leaps in from 3 yards out next play

 

[Milkman]

Fournette is quickly shooting up dynasty rankings. He can do it all. I don't think I would trade him for anybody in dynasty right now. 

 

[irish eyes]

Steeler offense is truly pathetic.

 

[fred_1_15301]

Bad challenge by Tomlin

 

[fred_1_15301]

Long ball not there this year.  Steelers offense thrives on big plays so that's not a good sign.  Bryant stock going down quickly 

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Jalen Ramsey is awesome

 

[JoeSteeler]

great play by Shazier

oops- pending

 

[JoeSteeler]

well, ####

 

[fred_1_15301]

No sugar coating things. Ben has been pretty bad this year. I wonder if this is the end?

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Oh.

 

[JaxBill]

Pick 6 in a Jaguars game and it's NOT Bortles? 

Between this and the Browns getting a lead end times are nigh

 

[JoeSteeler]

2nd pick 6!

 

[JoeSteeler]

 

[BobbyLayne]

wow

 

[McJose]

Lol

 

[The General]

Ben throwing TD's all over the place.

 

[fred_1_15301]

5 games into the season and we can no longer say that the offense is out of sync.  They're just bad.

 

[McJose]

I took PITT in my survivor pool.  Unreal.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Hell yes.

 

[The Jacket]

Ben looks like those retirement thoughts are on his mind during every pass attempt. 

 

[dnurk]

No sugar coating things. Ben has been pretty bad this year. I wonder if this is the end?

We did see it with Peyton.  Physical skills diminished, trying to press too hard and force things. The cliff is steep and comes up fast....

 

[JoeSteeler]

should have consulted me first

 

[fred_1_15301]

I think it's here.  He doesn't have the escapability that has made him such a good QB for years.  He's a rock out there.

 

[JaxBill]

Bright side for Steelers is Jaguars defense has to be winded. They've been out there all half and had to run a couple long sprints.

 

[hammerva]

And looking at our backup QB situation, it is going to be bad for a while

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Whatever it takes to keep Bortles on the sideline.

 

[irish eyes]

I've seen it all now, losing to the pathetic jaguars at home. Well maybe it's the steelers who are pathetic.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Telvin Smith does not get enough love as being one of the league's best young LBs.

 

[JaxBill]

I don't understand Ben continuing to target Bouye and Ramsey.  They need to throw more to slot and TE.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

I don't understand Ben continuing to target Bouye and Ramsey.  They need to throw more to slot and TE.

The Jags have the #1 passing defense in the league and the #32 rush defense in the league. Why aren't the Steelers running the ball?

 

[irish eyes]

Ben is just old & slow now. Like he is standing in quicksand. So long big guy

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

I'm not a Steelers fan, but wonder what Steeler Nation guys are thinking about Roethlisberger. I'd dismissed his preseason retirement speculation as "fake news", but thus far this season he seems to be playing as if his heart isn't truly in it. Do any of you think this is the case?

I don't think it's a question of heart.  He's hit the wall.  It happens to everyone at some point.  Ben has taken such a beating in his career that this isn't a huge surprise.

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Hey Mitchell, you tackled the guy after he gained 12. Calm down.

 

[fred_1_15301]

Steelers run D is hideous.

 

[irish eyes]

And the defense folded up their tent & went home. Just an abysmal performance all over. No excuse, to get absolutely punched in the mouth by a below average team. But its the same thing year in and year out anymore

 

[saintfool]

stadium looks half empty already

 

[The General]

I'll take some AB passes. TIA, Ben.

 

[fred_1_15301]

Also the offensive line has been garbage this year

 

[Donnybrook]

worst challenge ever

 

[fred_1_15301]

worst challenge ever

Desperation challenge.  Probably not much to lose given the circumstances.  I'm sure he knows that it's not getting overturned 

 

[irish eyes]

Good challenge you dope, lose TO down 2 scores. Can't make this @@@@ up.

 

[Donnybrook]

Desperation challenge.  Probably not much to lose given the circumstances.  I'm sure he knows that it's not getting overturned 

So he confident he won't need that challenge later on.  Makes no sense whatsoever.  

 

[The General]

40 Yard run incoming from Fournette.

 

[hammerva]

I would usually say "nobody plays down to the level" blah blah blah but the Jags are probably on the same level as the Steelers right now.  They were in tied for 1st place in the division (granted their division is worse than the AFC north).  Especially with Fournette at running back and an improved defense.  

 

[fred_1_15301]

So he confident he won't need that challenge later on.  Makes no sense whatsoever.  

Yeah you're probably right.  He likely threw in the towel already
