From all the highs and lows of yesterday, leave your final thoughts/analysis/discussion/takeaways from yesterday’s victory over the Bengals.
This thread is intended for level-headed, mindful discussion and less knee-jerk reactions. Keep this in mind before commenting.
As always DON’T BE A DAMN JAGOFF.
Follow our rules. We all have different opinions and mindsets, but we’re all here to talk Steelers and see them succeed at the end of the day. Keep it cool.
Offense looked night and day different. The team MOVED THE GODDAMN BALL! Need to work out the kinks though; DJ needs to sell the catch better in the endzone…like I get that it technically was a catch, but it’s hard to get behind that when the ball popped out the second he hit the ground. Warren needs to not fumble. Offense needs to not get pushed out of FG range by sacks/dumb penalties. We had 3 drives that were within FG range that ended in zero points. Fumble and penalties that pushed us out. If we get 9 points from those drives, this game would never have been close. We got the yardage, now we need the points to match it. Hopefully vs. the Cardinals that will be something we can figure out.
Defense looked overall slightly less incompetent in the secondary level…aside from Chase winning every damn tip drill. Watt had 2 sacks and 1 really dump fuckup. Needs to be mindful of that.
Overall I’m honestly a little shocked at how solid the team looked. The offensive production was a breath of fresh air. I expected improvement with Canada’s firing, but not instant gratification. Kenny still had some misses, but not as many. Perhaps that’s because he’s being utilized more in a way that better harmonizes with his strengths and weaknesses. Still needs to stop doing that stupid blind spin move. Middle of the field was open again thanks to Muth. Thank the heavens.
Solid win over a divisional opponent.
