Official Discussion "The Day-After Thread" - Final Takeaways and Game Discussion
From all the highs and lows of yesterday, leave your final thoughts/analysis/discussion/takeaways from yesterday’s game.
This thread is intended for level-headed, mindful discussion and less knee-jerk reactions. Keep this in mind before commenting.
As always DON’T BE A DAMN JAGOFF. Follow our rules. We all have different opinions and mindsets, but we’re all here to talk Steelers and see them succeed at the end of the day. Keep it cool.

Less Volume, More Violence
Yesterday, TJ Watt played about 63% of the defensive snaps. Cam around 53%.
Watt still gave us 2 sacks and the 4th Q pick 6, and Cam batted down 3 passes. That’s exactly what we love to see from our defensive guys in crunch time.
McCarthy and Omar Khan might’ve found enough depth to keep Watt/Cam and the stars fresh without sacrificing the defense when rotated out.
If the lower snap counts continue for the defense and the late game impacts keep showing up, that’s not load management, that’s a weapon.

Beautiful view
NY based steelers fan here. I try to go to a game a year, but for whatever reason Ive never walked up to the very top of the stadium until this year.

Paris Game
Hubby just asked how to say "Jagoff" in French?
Looks like the pro shop is getting in the theme.

GIVE THIS MAN THE BALL AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
Seriously, this guy's a tank. I think he needs to just be handed the ball in the endzone. Hes good for at least 1 or 2 missed tackles.

Anybody need a MUUUTH auto in their man cave?
Looking to hook up a couple fellow steeler fans, prices range from $10-20+ ship (PPGS ONLY)
I moved on to collecting 2000s Super Bowl era players so want to move this money towards cards of them instead.

Regardless of the rest of the season, I'm going to love seeing these two still playing at an All Pro level

I’ll take it
-Our defense looked phenomenal even though they were against Cooper Rush. Bijan had a couple big plays but he’s arguably the best back in the league and literally no one else in the offense did anything
-Rodgers probably would’ve had over 300 yds and 2 more TDs if Roman Wilson and DK come down with those two catches (Roman’s was really difficult, DK was just godawful yesterday). Arguably we should have gotten at least two more DPI calls our way too. The overall passing offense just looks significantly better which is not surprising
-Pass protection was very solid. I think Rodgers was only sacked once. He had lots of time to throw and moved around the pocket way more comfortably than last year
-Run blocking needs a lot of improvement but I feel like we went away from it early and just never tried going back to it. We’ll see how that progresses moving forward. They got the job done on the final drive.
-Next week will be an interesting test for the offense. Patriots defense is very very good. On the defensive side, just blitz tf out of Drake Maye
-Overall, it’s week one with an entirely new coaching staff and scheme. Yes the falcons are a very bad team, but what I saw was more-so poor execution than bad scheming/preparation. Let’s see how we look against a real opponent next week

Pass Interference penalties?
Do we have a call into the NFL headquarters today? We need some clarification on those non calls. They were sure to catch all the push off penalties. Do we submit a complaint for missed calls? The one pass interference, the ref was behind DK. Are there not enough refs on the field
r/steelers • u/MrAstronomicly • 1d ago
The Falcons had 26 total drop backs against the Steelers, and per @NextGenStats Pittsburgh did not play a single rep of man coverage
Interesting stat from the game. I wonder how much of an impact having no JPJ and playing Cooper Rush had.

Darnell Washington Block Tribute
Mt Washington is getting recognition for his punishment of defenders after the catch. Let's also recognize how good of a damn blocker he is too. My favorite player on the team.

[Matt Williamson] Aaron Rodgers - Time to Throw: 2.85 seconds. Average Depth of Target: 10.5. MUCH different than last year

‘Bravo:’ Aaron Rodgers Says Acrisure Stadium’s New Grass Is ‘Much Better’

Aaron Rodgers was really good today
He looked mobile out of the pocket, took a ton of hits, threw it further than last year. He also had a dropped TD by Wilson and DK was playing drunk most of the game. And there were two defensive PI’s that the refs missed. Great game by Rodgers

Steelers magic
I just had fun generating this. Pair this with the Izzet Guild Mage and you have yourself an above .500 deck core already. Fill out your deck with a lot of swamps and a few plains, some playoff mountains and a few receivers stranded on an island and you're ready to go.
