12-4

[CoolieMan]

Mason played fairly well today. The stupid ******* pick where he should have gotten the roughing the passer call sucked...but his throws on the last couple of drives were spot on

**** the refs for missing obvious PI calls

**** the browns **** the ******* announcer sucking them off the whole ******* game

 

[TDX27]

His throws most of the game were good. The int should not have been allowed. He definitely looked better than last year and he had no preseason this year. Nice surprise.

MR looked much better today. He did not look like a deer in the headlights and he made some tight throws. Kudos to him.

Clowns might have one, but consider they had to win and pulled out all the stops. They beat us by one play with several of our starters at home in recliners. What happens when we get everyone back and are in "playoff" mode?

That hold on oly on their last drive just showed the refs weren't going to call anything on the Browns. He was flat out tackled, looked as if it was my his face mask too...

But congrats Browns, you struggled against our B team, and now get to face our A team

We also have to dress Dobbs. His gadget plays can help.

Tomlin said in his presser that there were no significant injuries. Asked if we may see Dobbs in the playoffs, "That's a possibility."

 

[pittbull]

I’m officially back on the Mason Rudolph band wagon. I think (hope) he still has a lot of upside potential.

I don’t understand...why after each of the “big” three downfield throws that Mason completed, did the Steelers immediately, on the next play, put Dobbs in. Nothing against Dobbs, but when Mason hits those big splash plays, why not let him build momentum and confidence by theming to string a few together?

 

[Punxsutawney]

Rudolph definitely has a sufficient combination of passing velocity and accuracy to play regularly in the NFL.

Pocket presence and awareness is still an issue, though. On the sack where he nearly fumbled, he was totally oblivious toward the pocket collapsing on him, despite holding the ball for 4+ seconds.

On the INT, he flatout panicked and threw the ball right at the DB. It was very O'Donnell-esque.

He definitely has talent, but I'm still not sure he's someone they can just hand the keys to in a year or two without competition.

12-4 is where I thought this team could be at the start of the year. They faltered down the stretch because seemed to have began to figure things out over the past 6 quarters. I still think this offensive game plan is holding us back. Once again the first half offense was pretty blah before turning it on in the second. Pumped we are the three seed and looking forward to next week.

My concern is that they're 1-4 in the last 5 games. Definitely backing in to the playoffs.

 

[jitter77]

Mason has a nice deep ball with alot of air under it. My knock is the shorter passes seem to float at times and lack velocity. Could just be a mental thing, but overall he looked pretty good today

I don't see it that way. They won the last game they had to win. They played tough against a team that had to win and almost pulled out a road game with lots of starters resting at home.

I think they want to give the Browns something to think about this week, but I was frustrated with the way they were rotating the QBs.

It's one thing to replace Rudolph with Dobbs, but if they take Ben out of the game, I might just bust my TV.

 

[6Lombardis]

Barring something unusual this evening, it looks like Cleveland at home then Buffalo. Raven will play Tennessee, I’m guessing Indy and Tn win today

 

[JMM]

I thought Rudy did a great job. Came damn close to winning the game and if the **** hits the fan and Ben gets sidelined, it was great he could shake off the rust today. Boz's replacement did a hell of a job. Highsmith is going to be a force. Holy hell how about that hit #87 put on that KR?

12-4....If you told me we'd be 12-4 at the start of the year, I'd be f'n ecstatic. Knowing we went 11-0 to end 12-4, I'm somewhat concerned going into the playoffs but hopefully this semi bye week will pay off and we roll over the f'n Stains in a meaningful game next week. Chili will be served...Anyone know what day and time the game will be?

The Steelers haven't played a great overall game in awhile, though.

Contrast that with the Ravens and Bills who are just demolishing teams right now.

MR moved around in the pocket today more than he did all last season. He was a freaking statue last year.

And they got a bit of a running game going.

I was told the Ravens great play doesn't count because they're destroying bad teams.

 

[SteelerFan448]

And they got a bit of a running game going.

They had over 400 yards on the ground today. We probably haven't run for that many yards this month.

Not saying much but it was better than it had been...

Still counts, but shouldn't be blown out of proportion. Playoffs are a different breed.

**** those gadget plays...The first one worked for 13 yards...the rest were ****. Last tears wild cat plays. Fichtner should be fired for taking Mason off the field after most of his big plays. Simply stupid.

And I was told the Ravens are a better team than last year, Maybe they are?..one thing is certain...I think we can beat them regardless.

 

[Cras108er]

Everybody is blaming the pic by Mason or the missed calls by the officials. How about Mjnkah’s terrible angle on the 50 yard Chubb TD run? Different ball game if that doesn’t happen.
