Pre-Season # 5: Steelers @ Patriots Game Comments

FIRE TOMLIN

[Kodiak]

His throws are spot on. Receivers dropping balls. Receivers getting bumped as NE always does. No fucking coherent gameplan. Washington was absent for most of the half. No Vance.

It is not Ben.

Ben isn't exactly sharp, but I have no fucking clue what the gameplan is or what they are trying to do. Ben has almost never excelled playing dink and dunk. The complete lack of any depth on throws is absolutely moronic.

[Legacy User]

Cant believe I picked them to win. Is there any point in watching the second half and the Pat's running the score up?

I picked them to win, too - but that was with my heart. Opening day, who wants to take them to lose? I still have a chance of nailing the score - if Steelers take the second half 23-0

[jeemie]

Are we having fun yet?

I expected nothing tonight.

Nothing is what I'm getting.

Samuels played and he sucked. Sorry KC. This scheme is fucking garbage. The Pats have everyone running wide fucking open and the Steelers can’t convert a 2nd and 2. Fucking pathetic.

They ran him inside a few times.

You realize Samuels' reputation as a receiver, right?

Samuels was the reason we beat the Pats last year.

Tell me exactly....what did Ryan Switzer do last year to help beat the Pats.

What exactly is he MOTHERFUCKING DOING TONIGHT TO HELP THE STEELERS WIN?

Easy Mr Caps Lock. My point was that Samuels fucking ran all over the Pats last year and he carried the ball like he had a vagina tonight. This whole team looks like a bunch of scared pussies tonight. Glad I had 0 expectations for tonight bit this is worse than I thought.

I asked a few questions. You answered none of them.

Because you couldn't. Which I completely understand.

It is Ben. Why the hell is he throwing one yard passes? Where is McDonald? He is only throwing to Switzer and Moncrief. Half of the targets have gone to Switzer and Moncrief. WTF!

[KCSteeler]

Not even sure why they trot Ben out there against this team.

Really no point.

How does Ben not stroke out berating these asshole coaches?

[Gonzo]

I don't know why i get so upset at this coaches philosophy, play calling, etc...
Its just so disheartening.
Its not changing.

Never ... I don’t see how i5s not obvious ... mike Tomlin does not believe the Plan is in any way part of the problem. It’s execution of basic plays and bad luck.

That is his problem. That is why Brady excels and defenses run all over the field chasing.

[Orangesteel]

How in the fuck can we look this bad? Guys like Dorsett and Meyers catching passes?

Is Mike Tomlin for real? Was there a game plan tonight?

[Legacy User]

These roster moves are puzzling.

Plenty of this shit show is on Ben Roethlisberger.

He's been TERRIBLE tonight.

[Stosh-67]

Name one?

Dude are you being serious?

Every deep throw he's made has been off.

I mean...WTF are you watching?

Please tell me you aren't doing Benjy Bronk level schtick like Lynch who is no doubt, an alias of some current poster.

Deep throws off back are basically fly balls with alot of air under it

[Steel Ubaldo]

At least Tomlin didn't run the "draw them offsides" play.

Wish they did just for the fuck of it...

[Kodiak]

After Ben throws a few picks my expectations will be complete.

But this looks like a gameplan for Dobbs. I just cannot believe the playcalling.

[LakecrestSteeler]

I see signs of hope (not for this game).

Ben is rusty...of course because he played a millisecond of preseason again. Personally I now think that happens because he likes it that way.

But guys actually ARE getting open tonight...once Ben scrapes the rust off there will be throws for him.

But damn Fichtner was unprepared for tonight. Worst playcalling I have seen from him like...ever.

Where do you see rust on Ben? That statement is bullshit.

Tentative on some throws. Missed on every deep throw. I mean...every single one. .

Missed on every throw or was spot on? Or did the d-backs fuck with the timing? You throw before the d-backs start arm wrestling, so I am going with the receivers not avoiding the chicken fighting.

This team is in serious need of offensive weapons.
Has to one of the weakest offensive skill groups in the NFL

This offensive game plan is utter dogshit.

[K_C_]

Hey, Deontae Spencer is too risky to keep.

Switzer fair catches the ball like a champ.

[Stosh-67]

I hate fireball.
But it was the quickest and closest

[K_C_]

This offensive game plan is utter dogshit.

So is #7.

[Legacy User]

This makes me want to kill myself.

[Gonzo]

5 wide and a drop LOLOL

No threat of run on 4th and 1.
Dumb

I couldn’t believe they came out of TO with empty backfield for 4th and 1

[jeemie]

For me I knew we were in trouble on the pass to Holton.

Holton...fucking Holton...was open on that first deep pass...Ben underthrew him.

Imagine how this game might have gone had he dropped that in Holton's breadbasket?

Dog shit just called.
And wants an apology

[K_C_]

Switzer looked like a real pro watching that kick go over his head.

Spencer couldn't have done that.

[Steelafan77]

I expected nothing tonight.

Nothing is what I'm getting.

I expected disappointment. I expected the nbc crew to be licking tom and bill's sack/taint/rectal-starfish to oblivion. I expected to be in another foul mood. I expected Ben to look like shit. I did all this expecting the first lost for the Steelers season. I didn't expect it to be 20-0 at half.

[StillerInCT]

Belichick trolls us by saying we make adjustments.

[Alibe]

I have new respect for AB! He got out before his career was over. Tomlin et al are too dumb to put together any type of coherent game plan, wise use of personnel and maximize opportunities. This is a shit show. Nothing like giving up your body so that the coach can just look good in his aviators. Horrible coaching of almost all positions.
Time to do the laundry!
