On the Cusp - Post Game Thread
 

1st of all, I fucking hate the Steelers and their obnoxious cuntbag fanbase.

2nd of all, we're so fucking close. But we simply make too many unforced mistakes that make winning way harder.

The difference is even with all those mistakes we still had a great chance to win. Before this year we lose this game by 20+.

So it's nice to be close, but fuck, it's heartbreaking to lose that way. We gotta clean it up a bit.

Also, Ertz, you are my loser of the week. Dropped a wide open pass and actually took a knee behind the sticks on 4th down. Like, if you can't run, can you please at least catch the ball and then also not go backwards?

Re: On the Cusp - Post Game Thread
 

We are 7-3. That’s a win. What concerns me is how we still can’t even come close to having home field advantage and the lack of focus today from so many players. They better get their asses in gear by Thursday.

Beating a dead horse but BSJ has been the biggest clown on this team for two years running. Ertz has been catching the ball and falling down for years. This is only new to us. We desperately need a dynamic TE for JD-5. Also our oline reared its ugly head today. Excited for the rest of the season and the future but JD clearly can’t do it all himself.

Re: On the Cusp - Post Game Thread
 

Just disappointed in missed opportunities in the second half.

The fucking trick play which destroyed our drive and took us out of field goal range killed me. Really needed those 3 points.

Gonna be honest JD5 looked avg today, he missed somethings. The biggest was McCaffery who was wide opened when they were backed up against the end zone.

Lattimore needs to get on the field cause I can’t take St Juste getting beat anymore.

Ertz is a big body, but my god if you can’t get any yac then run the fucking route a yard deeper.

Frustrated cause I felt we wasted plays in the second half and we should have won this game

Re: On the Cusp - Post Game Thread
 

JD5 has looked just okay the last few weeks which is still way better than what we've had. I am excited to see how he and the coaching staff handle these road bumps.

Lots of unforced errors the muffed punt is inexcusable. St Juste ugh. Newton has to be smarter.

On the Cusp - Post Game Thread
 

JD didn’t even think about running today. He doesn’t need to lead the team in yards, and get pummeled, but I certainly don’t want him to be one dimensional.

Re: On the Cusp - Post Game Thread
 

I still say, this offense went the way it went becauae we have the Fecals on Thursday. I think we help the 3 Questionable out to save them for Thursday, and I bet our Offense kept it fairly conservative due to Thursday.

Is there any we can plug in for McCaffrey? Wasted roster spot.
BSJ is grabbing for his life out there which is a shame because he has the physical tools.

You want to cut a rookie WR, but don't even mention the veteran taking multiple cumshots off his face? C'mon man.

Re: On the Cusp - Post Game Thread
 

mccaffrey has been open a lot, even though he hasn't gotten a lot of balls (per people watching all the game tape, like paulsen etc). If there was someone better, they'd be playing his snaps instead.

Re: On the Cusp - Post Game Thread
 

Close, but not there yet. Secondary, obviously. Lattimore will help. Drops. Wtf?

Jayden is doing what he needs to do. We were still in that after giving up 28 and would likely have won it if ZE just frickin falls forward. Kid held up against a stout D--did not look like the stage was too big for him.

Missed BRjr today.

Build on it. Find the players who can help. Ditch the suckers who cannot. It's a process. But I do hate losing to those smug Pitt fuckers...

And that rookie wr was wide open for a rookie TD that JD missed him on. And please do not mention the man who had a bukakke party on his face because that mother fucker cost us the game and his name hurts my brain to even think about.

[QUOTE=jamf;1367353]Oh shit. Here we go with Sam Howell v2.[/QUOTE]


Other than the fact that they are both short and white there is no comparison. But come on Jamf of all the motherfuckers who id like to replace right now after their performance today (ertz, bsj, Newton, Dyami Brown, bukakke face, and BSJ AGAIN!) McCaffrey aint even on that list.

Re: On the Cusp - Post Game Thread
 

If you told me before the game that we will neutralize TJ Watt for the most part, and win the turnover battle, I would say we would definitely win. But today there were too many mistakes. You can't have that many mistakes and expect to beat a good team.

Also, still too many of the opponents fans in the stands. It will probably take a couple years of winning to fix that problem.

We're still on the right track, just need to clean some things up, and get Lattimore into the mix on defense. I still think this team has a great opportunity to make some noise in the playoffs. Long way to go still.

Re: On the Cusp - Post Game Thread
 

You guys have to realize that the Steelers have one of the best defenses in the NFL. Daniels looked a little uneasy back there and that was cause of their defense. That's a really good team that we played today and we still had a shot to win it.

Re: On the Cusp - Post Game Thread
 

Sam would've had 3 turnovers today against that defense.

7-3 and a Thursday night game against Philly coming up. We are concerned about a division title, and not a playoff birth. Usually our season is over by now. Lol. We lost to two of the best teams in the league and our opener. We have two against the Eagles and this one is on the road. We lose this one and Im certainly not going into all is lost mode.

I hope Lattimore and B-Rob are ready to go, but if they are not let them get 100 percent healthy. Going to both need of them for the playoffs. More important than a game we can “afford” to lose. I am so excited about the future of this team.

Re: On the Cusp - Post Game Thread
 

We are “ahead of schedule” as far as I am concerned.

Re: On the Cusp - Post Game Thread
 

If ur gunna lose, lose to the afc with 2 weeks to gameplan. Not suprised. Now if we lose to the eagles, that hurts bad, and they are better. No way we win that game without lattimore or brob

Re: On the Cusp - Post Game Thread
 

[QUOTE=BaltimoreSkins;1367378]We are “ahead of schedule” as far as I am concerned.[/QUOTE]


110 percent. We would be even more ahead if Ertz had the ability to move forward with a ball in his hands. Here is actual footage of him demonstrating his best move to do so….

I think we will probably split with them. Losing to them at home isn’t going to prove anything. Unless it is bad but I dont see us getting blown out by anyone.

Re: On the Cusp - Post Game Thread
 

After the Philly game we have 4 home games, a 10 day break, and a bye week. Our players will get rest and our coaches will get time to work Lattimore into the defense.

Philly still has to play Baltimore, Pittsburgh and us twice.

If Lattimore plays today we win. The media is going to fawn over Philly but I think we win the division by week 14

Hard to be too upset. After all the mistakes, we were like 6 inches from having a decent opportunity to get into position to kick a game winning FG against one of the better teams in the NFL.

Bukakke party, I'm fucking dead. I needed this joke so hard, because this weekend has been shitty as fuck.

Re: On the Cusp - Post Game Thread
 

Wait, who is bukake face?
Can’t cut him.

I’m just pissed. Need more production from everyone not named Terry or Ekeler.

Don’t get in the habit of making excuses for players. People need to produce.

Re: On the Cusp - Post Game Thread
 

We are absolutely ahead of the curve. We already surpassed our expected win total (or will if we win 1 more game). And Vegas doesn't base that shit on feelings.

Losing tonight crushed me a bit because I hate the Steelers.

But we made 10-20 mistakes and were still right fucking there.

I think it's good that Harris/Peters/Quinn/Jayden have changed the narrative.

They'd all slap our faces if we talked about moral victories. And that's a good thing. We're here to win.

Well it’s nice to be back and engaged with the game.
I fully expected ti win that on the final drive.
That’s progress.

If Ertz wasn't Mr. Boring, I think we win.

Kinda crazy our OLine isn't our biggest need.

We need an athletic TE. We need (outside) CB2 and CB3 (assuming we plan on keeping Lattimore for the rest of his contract). Let Mike man the slot.

Drafting Jayden and Coleman in the same draft is looking like a 10+ year solution at QB and LT.

Where is your mock draft? Too early?

Re: On the Cusp - Post Game Thread
 

Good point. Coleman looked good today - pressure up the gut and to the right. Watt and Hayward will do that to just about anyone.

Lol. Yeah, it's early. While I won't be drafting only DBs this time around, that group will still be well represented. I can commit to you at least 2 secondary choices.

But, I'm going back to being pumped for Jayden and Coleman. I think we have franchise guys at the 2 most important positions on offense. And they got drafted together. That's pretty awesome.

It is never too early for mocks. Failing to plan is planning to fail!

Re: On the Cusp - Post Game Thread
 

Punch is coming for my Mr. Mock title and I'm here for it. There isn't a better man I'd pass the torch onto.

But Punch has also always been a big mock guy too.

So maybe we just pass the torch back and forth, like hot potato.
