Steelers 2023-2024 Season Thread

[dodint]

Texted that last one to a friend, and the response: "He would have dropped it anyway."

It hurts because it's true.

[Dickie Dunn]

How the **** are you that locked onto **** Calvin Austin that you don't see DJ open for the entire **** route? JFC.

[Rylan]

honestly, a back corner endzone throw while ill advised is still better than a sack.

[Troy Loney]

Oh god. I agree with zeise

[meow]

yeah that’s not a terrible take. we don’t fully know what Pickett can do. we know Canada is garbage

[Rylan]

this is the season where you can steal a championship

[dodint]

That you Jim Harbaugh?

[Rylan]

I mean, as MiMH pointed out, theres not many transcendent QBs in the league right now. The league looks more like early 00s than it does 2016. 20 points wins games. And this defense is just dangerous enough to accidentally steal a couple of games..........just not with this offense.

[Dickie Dunn]

He's right and it was the same situation last year. Run an NFL offense, see what you have at the position, and if its a season of growth but with poor results you end up with a better QB and higher draft position. The Steelers are so dead-set on pretending that they're always competitive that they see sucking their way to an inevitable first round playoff loss (at best) is somehow seen as the more optimal result.

[King Colby]

They suck at sucking. They already have 6 wins and will likely finish with 9 or 10.

Winning is the object of the game.

[count2infinity]

We all know it's coming...

"definite" wins: Cards, Pats
probable wins: One vs Bengals
probable losses: Seahawks, on vs Bengals, and colts
"definite loss: Ravens

9-8

After yesterday’s game I could easily see them lose to the Cards or Pats.

There are bad QBs, and then there is KP who's throwing like under 200 yards or whatever 4 games straight. Dude can't even throw one touchdown. With how many injuries on the d side of the ball, coupled with now bringin Jack in, it could get worse, even with Fitzpatrick returning.

[count2infinity]

Meh... Browns are a great defense. We hold a team to 13 points, I'd expect a W except for maybe 3 or 4 teams.

[Cagsjr724]

I have lost faith in the entire organization at this point. They are so stuck in their ways that no matter how bad KP is the rest of the year, he will still be QB1 at the start of next season. I’d bet on it.

[tifosi77]

Morkle, that’s the one I saw.

No reason the ball isn’t out when he reaches end of his drop back.

Yup. This is not a complicated offense. But there are, every now and then, actual plays to be made.

[tifosi77]

This team has no business penciling any wins in at this stage.

[King Colby]

2 touchdown passes in the last SEVEN weeks

[mikey]

[Troy Loney]

Record setter

[tifosi77]

I mean......................................... is it even that many?

[Morkle]

[Sam's Drunk Dog]

[tifosi77]

Oh look, more tape showing open receivers over the middle. Huh,

[King Colby]

No Canada can't scheme them open. We need a year of Pickett under a new OC
