Sea @ Pitt (2 Viewers)

[Houston turmOiler]

Can I get a Minkah pick-6? 

 

[travdogg]

Embarrassing job by Duane Brown on that Highsmith sack. He barely even get a finger on him. Brown's supposed to be a high-end LT. 

 

[JaxBill]

As bad as Geno has looked, they can't bench him because Luton is terrible.

 

[joffer]

suggest they let Geno know at halftime that he can not in fact throw it through arms

 

[The Gator]

3rd and 8

2 yard throw

 

[Sam Quentin]

Finally started Claypool, big fat egg incoming

If he was going against me, he would have 3 TDs by now ….

Backup QB + Steelers def getting healthy

Yup I suspect it would be a different game if Wilson was playing but yes this defense healthy is one of the best in the league.  

 

[travdogg]

Truthfully, I think the Steelers could win this game without calling a single pass play the rest of the game. Its really hard to see Seattle scoring 2 TDs.

 

[travdogg]

This game is helping my "Russell Wilson is, and has been, the best player in the NFL, and has spent 3+ years carrying bottom 10 teams to playoff wins" argument.

 

[heckmanm]

Collins only in his 5th year? I would have guessed 7-8

 

[travdogg]

Collins only in his 5th year? I would have guessed 7-8

To be fair, he was out of the NFL for a stretch.

 

[renesauz]

PITTSBURGH SUDDENLY SOFT UP THE GUT

 

[fred_1_15301]

How is that a personal foul?  He was trying to hit the ball.  Pretty obvious.

 

[travdogg]

Well that was something. It was like the Steelers were just sitting on the shot play to Metcalf/Lockett that never came.

 

[renesauz]

might have been just short

 

[travdogg]

How is that a personal foul?  He was trying to hit the ball.  Pretty obvious.

Because he was punching the player repeatedly. It was enough in my opinion, that intent is irrelevant. 

 

[renesauz]

How is that a personal foul?  He was trying to hit the ball.  Pretty obvious.

but he hit the runner in the gut...nowhere near the ball.....basically punching him.

YES...that absolutely SHOULD be a foul

 

[fred_1_15301]

He's short

 

[BobbyLayne]

 How did they miss the movement on the left side of the Seattle line (1st down)?

Looked pretty blatant.

 

[irish eyes]

How do you get gashed by the run when you know they cant throw it in the ocean if they tried. 

 

[fred_1_15301]

Well that's what Seattle needed to start the 2nd half.  Let's see if the Steelers can answer. 

 

[renesauz]

the complete disappearance of Lockett in this game is troubling

 

[travdogg]

He's short

No need to bully Collins, he's had a rough enough career. 

 

[travdogg]

the complete disappearance of Lockett in this game is troubling

Kind of expected to be honest. A huge part of his appeal is his rapport with Wilson. There was a part of me that was thinking Metcalf might not actually lose value with Geno, because he'd probably see more targets, to help make up for the drop in quality of said targets. Lockett was always going to be in trouble, though yeah, didn't think it'd be this dire.

 

[renesauz]

loving how Johnson is WAAAAY out-producing Claypool though

(just traded Claypool away and facing him in at least 4 leagues!)

 

[travdogg]

I would have declined that penalty. 3rd and 14 or 2nd and 20.

ETA: Or it doesn't matter at all.

 

[Steve Tasker]

@The Gator coming up huge with the game thread

 

[SengerCJ]

Truthfully, I think the Steelers could win this game without calling a single pass play the rest of the game. Its really hard to see Seattle scoring 2 TDs.

I could see it..

 

[travdogg]

I could see it..

Yeah, that didn't age well at all. Credit to Carroll I guess. 

 

[renesauz]

at least we've confirmed that Lockett is indeed playing

 

[fred_1_15301]

Steelers D folding like a cheap suit this half.

 

[irish eyes]

Just top notch tackling by the steeler d on that drive. 

 

[SengerCJ]

Yeah, that didn't age well at all. Credit to Carroll I guess. 

Bit of a low blow, I too did not see it coming

 

[baymen]

Benny Snell back out there. I thought for sure he broke his arm.

 

[The Gator]

3rd 7

4 yard pass incoming

 

[irish eyes]

Steelers D folding like a cheap suit this half.

Looks like the entire team is folding like a cheap suit.

 

[travdogg]

Kinda wonder of Seattle goes shot play on 1st down, with the momentum seemingly on their side.

 

[travdogg]

Kinda surprised Claypool is struggling with a guy he's got like 8 inches on. 

 

[Houston turmOiler]

So glad I started Claypool. 

 

[Steve Tasker]

Chicago Fire has been on for 200 episodes?

 

[travdogg]

Those PA passes where you leave a guy unblocked on purpose almost never work

 

[renesauz]

come on Geno...they dont get much easier then THAT layup

 

[renesauz]

SO GLAD I went with Snell over Homer :(

 

[irish eyes]

Steeler defense softer than charmin tp right now,  pathetic 

 

[fred_1_15301]

Steeler defense softer than charmin tp right now,  pathetic 

just a pathetic quarter by that defense 

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Don't care what they did on that last play the Steeler defense is utter horse####.

 

[travdogg]

That's a fumble to me

 

[BobbyLayne]

fumble

 

[renesauz]

That's a fumble to me

It should be IMO....thought it wasn't but "expert" says it is

 

[The General]

That was a pass my ###

He does that like 20 times a game
