SLAG-91 1,498 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 It both was and wasn't a high pressure kick for Daniel. Make or miss, the Raiders are in. If he missed it, though, there would have been the hue and cry from Pittsburgh that he missed it on purpose to keep them out of the playoffs. The ironic part in all this is that I think SD's coach messed up by calling a timeout. The Raiders were not being overly aggressive in their play calling, and at that point of the game, they didn't need to be...sort of a "we're trying, sorta, but not going to kill ourselves. If you stop us, OK." After the timeout, it was like they said "OK, you dumb MFers, you think YOU can still win and knock us out? Watch this. I bet they would have tried the FG from 56 if they hadn't gained a yard. Anyway, good luck, Steeler fans...enjoy one last run with Big Ben. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autigeremt 6,788 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I think we will play them much closer this time but their talent will overcome the grit we bring. We shall see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shall see. I agree, but iffense stinks with this college coordinator, a terrible OL they assembled to protect an aging QB, and Ben will to dump off more and more, with very little explosion attempts down the field. We just won't be able to score enough points...I just hope we do score some in the first half, which lately has been non existent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wareagleguy 1,393 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Big Ben gave us some amazing moments in his 18 year career! It will be odd not seeing 7 behind center next season. As for the rest, we need serious upgrades. Youth and speed. Coaching changes. OL needs overhauling. A lot of work this off season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, get some help on that OL so Najee can run wild. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AN a a NFL OC, and better WRs that can hold on to 5-7 yard passes that hit you in the hands. They hand tied Ben with a mediocre OL, and that hurt the rest of the offense, including Ben's lack of accuracy on deeper throws. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autigeremt 6,788 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I am not impressed with Matt Canada. Our best shot at winning Sunday was an up tempo approach the entire game. Outside of that we need a better O line, better receiving and better linebacker play to go along with better corners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autigeremt 6,788 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Always great to beat the Ratbirds of baltimore. Our offense can be offensive, and I hope Canada is gone at seasons end....but that defense can play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn’t that bad, but still un-Steeler like. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
