SteelerFury.com Podcast Week 15: Dolphins at Steelers

Post by smithessmokin » Thu Dec 11, 2025 4:00 am

The Steelers went into Baltimore and flipped the script with an aggressive passing attack, stealing a win from the Ravens in a must win situation to distance themselves for the AFV North Division lead. Now, the Steelers face the red hot Miami Dolphins led by the explosive Devon Achane on Monday Night Football. Join Jeremy Kohlman and Wil Masisak as they break down the Baltimore game, look ahead to the matchups they'll face against the Dolphins, and talk some NFL playoff caliber games and also discuss the contenders for the College Football Playoffs.

Just listened to the podcast...one of the things I take the time to do in retirement.

Counter point I'll make is the assessment that the Steelers turtled on all three fourth-quarter possessions. They certainly did on their final possession which troubled me. But on the first possession, they had a pass play that likely picks up a first down on third and six and ended up taking a goddamn delay penalty. On the second possession, AR through a bad ball on first down and then on second down per Dulac article in the PG, had thielen open deep for a touchdown, but the ball was bad that the line ending in the Rogers reception.

It just seemed obvious to me that they reverted to the horizontal football that is a hallmark of the Tomin/Art Smith style, whereas they hadn't been using that until that point with the big lead. It looked like a series determined to bank TOP, rather than an aggressive one, continuing and building on the attacking from earlier in the game.
