Game 7: Packers @ Steelers - Sunday, Oct 26 7:20 PM

This is by far our worst special teams game of the season …. And if you have any familiarity with our special teams, that is not an easy accomplishment.

How is that not holding on the right end for the Steelers on those FG?  He just sticks his arm out and grabs/pulls the edge rusher and completely turns him. 

[adambr2]

Most teams start out their drives after a kickoff from around the 30-35 these days. Our return teams still prefer the traditional 20-25.

Lets march down and drop 8 points this drive

These blitzes are leaving wide open outlets if Love finds them quick enough

[adambr2]

McManus leaving 6 points on the board feels pretty big right now.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

The elephant in the room a lot of this season for me has been that Wilson is just simply more efficient than Jacobs at times. I'm a huge Jacobs fan, but Wilson always seems to make someone miss.  He just looks more explosive. 

[yourout]

Unusual to see Jacobs go down from the first hit as often as he has tonight

[adambr2]

Yeah, didn’t love that 2nd and 8 call.

I can agree he left 3 on the board. The 57 yarder is tough to just assume. 

[HarryDoyle]

Love throws an ugly deep ball. Glad that somehow worked out.

[yourout]

So far this might be Loves best all around game as a pro.

I’d assume it if Boswell comes up to kick one down 2 with 3 seconds tonight.

Watson, Kraft, and Love having themselves a night

[HarryDoyle]

I think Jacobs averages about 10 yards rushing for every touchdown he scores.

[adambr2]

Good coverage. We did something positive on ST.

Have to acknowledge it when it happens because it's so rare

When does Gute get some blame?

bot adding any CBs other than Hobbs when everyone knew it was a need.

Receivers still dropping balls but only one  addition  

One functional running back with no quality back up because RB never get hurt

But hey “youngest team in the league” once again 

 

 

I agree we need at least one more corner, but we added 2 receivers (Golden and Savion) and we have a very functional backup running back.  Wilson looks pretty explosive when he gets touches.  I feel like 2 of those 3 complaints sort of miss the mark.  Fully agree he left us in a bad spot at CB though, and we probably need to go add one through a trade in season now.

[HarryDoyle]

Micah got held by three linemen and still got the sack.

[Strike4]

Good job by Walker to not get goaded into responding and getting a stupid penalty.  Good growth for him.

 

 

[young guns]

Pittsburgh starting to lose it.

[wildcat83]

Parsons is a beast, man is he fun to watch late in games.

Can't believe that wasn't offsetting, yea Herbig started it, but looked like a couple Packers threw punches during that scrum.

[homer]

I prefer dumb penalties on the other team

I don't know if I've ever seen a packer D lineman be able to do that. 

Reggie was amazing one-on-one but Parsons is just a whole different level of freak

[HarryDoyle]

Need to deliver the kill shot on this drive.
