***SNF-Steelers at Chargers***(-6.5) O/U 47.5 (1 Viewer)

I'm done.  This defense seriously can't get off the field on 3rd down.  How are these scrubs even in the NFL?

Ok not done yet.  I'll stick around a little longer I guess.

As bad as the Steelers D is, the Chargers D isn't a whole lot better.  

The Chargers are not good. But the Steelers are double plus ungood

Yup but you add Watt to this defense and that changes everything.

I understand there are a lot of Steelers fans in attendance. That said, it seems very odd to me that Herbert has to constantly cover his ears on offense and I can hear the announcer in the background. What are they doing?

 

[Ministry of Pain]

This is like one of those WIldcard games where you look at both teams and think no way should either of them be in the Super Bowl. But both teams also have quality wins on their resume and could reach up and bite someone or derail a team thinking they can make a deep run.

Chargers have terrible home attendance and support in Los Angeles, plus Pittsburgh fills the seats at visitors stadiums, they love to travel from Pittsburgh to warm weather cities. Steelers are usually half the stadium when they play Miami or Tampa Bay, maybe not with Brady right now, Jax same thing.

Steelers offense moving the ball well though I hated the 4th down play.

The biggest problem is the defense is not able to get off the field.  I’m guessing the Steelers will be down 14 shortly 

 

[Godsbrother]

Oh boy

 

[fred_1_15301]

3rd and 13 and like clockwork the Chargers get a 30 yard gain.  You can't make this up. 

 

[Chaka]

Is Mike Williams even on the field?

 

[Godsbrother]

Pitch and catch,  this is awful to watch

 

[irish eyes]

Most of these guys on steeler D should not be in the nfl. This is an embarrassment. 

 

[wgoldsph]

Welp, that's just instant dividends there.

I'm 43 years old and have been a Steelers fan since the early 90s.  I've never witnessed a game like this.  This defense shouldn't even be on a high school field.  

 

[SoBeDad]

I haven't slept since last morning, but I just spent the farm on Ekeler, and I'm going to watch this game.

Enjoying the game?

Steelers offense needs a long drive, even if they don’t score, just to keep the defense off the field 

 

[irish eyes]

It really doesn't matter what the steeler offense does,  that D is so effing bad right now. 

 

[tangfoot]

Steelers offense needs a long drive, even if they don’t score, just to keep the defense off the field 

And they’re going to get that how?

 

[fred_1_15301]

And they’re going to get that how?

Well that's the problem.  The offense is also horrific.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

This Steeler offense is downright Waltonian.

Maybe the Colonials have a HC opening Canada can snag next year.

 

[Godsbrother]

And they’re going to get that how?

Well they didn’t get it that time but the Steelers offense had been moving the ball.

With this 3 and out the Chargers going to put the game away now 

 

[irish eyes]

It's hilarious,  never a steeler defender within 15 yards of a receiver when the ball is thrown. 

 

[Godsbrother]

This is amazing 

 

[wgoldsph]

Enjoying the game?

Who needs a farm?

 

[rockaction]

Herbert and the Chargers are absolutely carving these guys up through the air. Glad I sat Herbert for Carr in one league. My start/sit game is just off.

 

[Steelers4Life]

I saw a tweet that the Steelers defense is playing 6 guys who not only weren't part ofban opening day roster, but have been cut by someone else already this year. 

A team can only overcome so many injuries. Not that the Steelers are legit contenders this year, but this just isn't even the Steelers.

 

[irish eyes]

And Devin Bush is officially a bust. What a wasted 1st round pick, and even moved up to get him...Oof

 

[fred_1_15301]

I can’t lol.  Good night all.  

 

[5-ish Finkle]

This game was "away" the moment the Steelers took 11 mins to score 3 points.  If not when it was announced Watt/Minkah were shelved.

I fully expected this to be a loss, but was at least semi-interested in seeing if they could move the ball on the ground against this terrible run defense. The fact that they have not been able to does not make me feel very good about any of these offensive lineman going forward.  Not saying I expected them rush for 400 yards, but they can't move it on the ground, like, at all.  At. All.

Why were you afraid of Pitt?

 

[rockaction]

Why were you afraid of Pitt?

I was afraid of their pass rush, which seems nonexistent. Carr and Herbert were projected about the same, actually. Cincinnati vs. Vegas was supposed to be a shootout. 

 

[wgoldsph]

Could have been Ekeler's 4th td

True, but cin has lost that spark because the line and coach suck.

 

[Godsbrother]

While I agree with what you’re saying, this Defense is so bad that the offense needs to score on every single drive

For future reference there is a place to talk through those issues.

 

[irish eyes]

If Steelers score,  they should just onside kick. No reason to waste time, not like the D will stop them anyway.

 

[fred_1_15301]

No huddle might have been a good idea there.

 

[wgoldsph]

Great now Ekeler back breaker burst around the outside for a td

 

[irish eyes]

Now let's watch the chargers drive length of the field AGAIN. 

 

[rockaction]

For future reference there is a place to talk through those issues.

Hmm...where would that be...

lol. Good work maintaining, by the way. 

 

[Godsbrother]

A 3 and out by the Chargers?  Color me shocked!

 

[Godsbrother]

Whoa!!!!!

 

[rockaction]

The bad news is that they still can't stop anybody. 

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

That Pittsburgh coach looks like Pete Townshend. 

 

[rockaction]

I'm sure I'm late to the party but I do not get the insistence on the ball coming out in 1 second for the Steelers. 

 

[wgoldsph]

I'm good with this

 

[irish eyes]

Inside the 5, whole Canada cant help himself and spread it out on 1st down. He's a @@@@@@@ idiot

 

[rockaction]

That Pittsburgh coach looks like Pete Townshend. 

Every time I saw him I'd go "Same as the old boss..."

 

[rockaction]

That was a terrible series. You have to go for it here. 

 

[rockaction]

There you go! PI!
