Kincaid looks like Kelce with his route improv abilities and smoothness

[sherpa]

Simply pathetic.

[Reks Ryan]

They were finally doing something good w goal line stand and McD was determined to make sure the Steelers scored w his stupid Defensive TO strategy. He doesn’t learn

Just spittin facts dude.  Allen got famous and now the QB room and OC booth are filled with his buddies, to the detriment of the team.  His off-season is split between between F1, movie stars and trying to become a movie star all while evidently not eating much healthy food.

You know things are getting bad in a game whenever we’re starting to jump on Josh Allen to

Ok, fine, so the Bills are committing penalties, it's impossible to believe the Steelers are playing mistake free football. That's the biggest frustration, knowing its biased flag calling

I understand that fully, but to say without saying from the refs actions, the Steelers are playing mistake free is pure comedy. By not throwing flags against Pitt is admitting they are playing "perfect" football. Everybody knows that's not the case.

Expand  

Steelers have 3 penalties called on them

 

step closer to the television

A dozen penalties in a half is concerning.  And meaningful, even if preseason.

Expand  

 

For sure. That's actually my biggest concern.

 

Even in preseason - that shouldn't be happening.

The issue w/ preseason is that as fans, we have been starved for football.  It's a long wait.

 

When we finally get to see the starters, we want fireworks. We want to look like we're gonna look.  But that just ain't the way in the preseason.

 

Not that there aren't concerning things going on.  But it's easy to overreact.

 

Expand  

Preseason is about getting some live reps and staying healthy. Nothing more.

[bigduke6]

 gonna miss RJ so much.

Their last two drafts don’t look good at all…. Whiffs. 

Expand  

 

This year's draft class at least is looking amazing, which is ironic because it was supposed to be the weakest draft class in a long time. Kincaid looks like he has elite potential, Torrence is already showing starting caliber ability, and I've seen promise from Dorian Williams albeit playing against 2nd stringers.

I agree with the list of positives.  Add the penalties to the negatives.  And how does Allen avoid that list?  Are we in North Korea?

Also every single Edmunds hater is going to gorge themselves on crow this season 

Expand  

Letting Edmunds go wasn’t the problem. Being so arrogant and ignorant of what talent they had to replace him was. Not making a move to replace was/is the issue. And it looks to be a costly one.

He had 2 incompletions and a 3rd and 24 pass to Davis called back because of Spencer Brown but hey you wanted Josh Rosen draft night anyway

Dude they have massive investments all over the defense…. If the defense is an issue this year then there is no reason whatsoever McDermott should be the coach because he’ll bring absolutely nothing to the table.

Expand  

Should have spent that money on Edmunds

Preseason football is so weird.

It's sorta like... if you hadn't gotten laid in 6 months, and then the opportunity FINALLY came, but it was a mid-Kansas truck stop diner waitress named Marge with a square ass, smoker's voice, and a mop for a leg.

Like...it's nice to be getting some action, but THIS?!

And all she gives you is a hand.

Agreed but it will cause the coaches to be all over the players this week.  No one will remember or care what happened tonight when they are doing the right thing in the regular season.

Here's my take, it's good to see the top rookies playing well, that's incredibly important, particularly this season.  

 

Hopefully the other starters are just duffing it because it's only preseason.  That would hardly be the first time that's been the case.  IDK, glass half-full kinda thinking.  

 

I can't imagine that they won't be ready for the opener and will come out like this.
