Don’t harsh on them too much, they could probably manage to catch Norovirus or maybe a common cold?

[stevewin]

I love how the announcers rush through these requisite 'acknowledgements' of controversies to appear fair and balanced then can't move on fast enough to get off the topic and never mention it again

[EmotionallyUnstable]

Great tackle by 21

[HappyDays]

To defeat the Dolphins you literally just have to take away the middle of the field. Easier said than done but Tua will never throw into tight windows outside the numbers.

Pittsburgh is trying to lose this game

Well technically, they’ve been losing since the start, but they’re certainly trying to keep that up

[Dablitzkrieg]

Harris sucks.

[The Frankish Reich]

OK, it's Trubisky Time. Big 4th quarter comeback.

Steelers just don’t seem to be playing as a team on O or D

 

AND HOW THE HECK DID HE MISS THAT PICK?  And at some point, will Collinsworth criticize Tua for throwing those pickable balls?

Expand  

 

Not a chance. Collinsworth worships Tua.

[Solomon Grundy]

Kenny gotta stop thinking he's "pocket" Pickett and use his legs to pickup some of these 1st downs

[EmotionallyUnstable]

Where do they come up with these Next Gen stat percentages? Just totally ridiculous

Exactly.

In an alternate universe, we didn't trade up for Allen and then wound up drafting Tua. And if Tua were playing exactly like this for the Bills, we'd be saying "we didn't get Mahomes and Allen, but we finally have a keeper at QB."

It's ok to settle, right?

 

[Beck Water]

The Zebras certainly are ladeling out the penalties on Pittsburgh just when it looks as though they might get something going.

Not that I’m conspiracy minded or anything

[Bangarang]

This Steelers offense is painful to watch. Everything is 3 yards and not much else.

[Warcodered]

any chance we try throwing the ball downfield? no okay.

So he does, but why?

[HappyDays]

Eh that's a pretty weak call. But serves them right for refusing to throw the ball more than 5 yards downfield. This is the late stage Trent Edwards offense. Gross.

They aren’t creating space anywhere, running game or passing game. 

[Bangarang]

Check down Pickett

Yeah, those are ridiculously specific. Baseball does that now with defensive ratings, but in those we know exit velocity, launch angle, everything, so it's just a matter of physics to call a play a "10% chance of getting an out." But there's way, way too many variables in football.

[Solomon Grundy]

I'm testing Xavien Howard with Pickens
