Reid is really important, especially when Pittsburgh's entire offense is based off prayer balls.

3rd and long with a soft seocndry...WTf are you not blitzing the **** out of Wilson?

Let’s win this and give all these guys a few weeks off

Shit, thats a bad idea.:doh!:

Because they had their #2 WR matched up against a player who shouldn't be on the field except for injuries.

I'm just desperately awaiting for us to do something to put a team away. That was the perfect chance, stop 3rd and very long, get the ball back and score a touchdown............game over. Still looking good so hate to complain, just so frustrating!

Seriously, why Johnson. He's the best we have???? I swear to god it is the return of Dan Sorenson, except Dan made a few plays.

Nazeeh Johnson ****ing up on 3 & 14

Wilson burned us on the blitz a couple of times early.

Nelson will hopefully be ready to replace Nazi soon.

More like Not See Johnson, amirite?

Connor is injured. So yeah, that means more Johnson unfortunately.

Is Spags just not gonna even try Nelson?

Yup.

Super important to getting guys in the right place to cover moon balls.

Right? That along with the early bye week.

Chris Jones is worth EVERY penny he's paid. The absense today is extremely noticable.

Spags has always struggled in 3rd and long. I have no idea why....maybe giving a QB time to let a deep route develop is not a good strategy?

3rd and 14. Ugh ugh.

Don't see how Nelson could be worse.

I forgot about Nelson. Why isn't he playing yet? There's only one game remaining before the playoffs. Unless he's injured like Humphries, he needs game reps.

Hopefully its not bad. Lil bonk

Good rush George

Hicks?

Eh, fahk. Hope he's ready.

DL has been so good today without Chris

3rd and long...what you got KC?

Come on dude. Get the ball.

karlaftis!!

Why we giving up so many 3rd and along conversions lately?

Seems like this has been an issue for a while now.

3rd and long again

JJ openly cheering for the Steelers, again.

Right where we want them!

Antoehr 3rd and long converted

they got to throw him in next week. i dont care what game shape he is in. a half-assed nelson CANNOT be any worse than johnson on 3rd downs

disgusting

Ah, how did you get out of that?

Damn.

This defense on third down SUCKS ****ING NUTS

FFS

Letting Russ run is starting to piss me off.

Just killing us

Defense is not good on 3rd and Long.

Wilson playing out of his mind, of course.

Another third and long fail.

My God the D is great until 3rd and long

This is getting stupid with 3rd and longs. Just why?

They took Reids helmet

And we give up another 3rd down SMH

Geriatric Russ escaped the ole folks home and rolled to a first down

What’s the nickname for Johnson? Nausea Johnson?

Pennel was just lost there

Absolutely ****ing pathetic. This is a potentially fatal flaw that hasn't been addressed all season.

One 3rd down stop FFS

Well w ehad them 3rd and 14 and 3rd an 9 and now they are ready to score.....

burnt by a screen again

Hold 'em ta' 3 guys.

Tighten it up.

Blitz isn’t working

Hey, Pennel is in the game.

Yep. Which is why the offense needs to stop screwing around.

Putting Pennel in coverage is something I'd have never thought of.

Let's keep putting Pennel out in coverage. :doh!:

Getting killed on third down and long the past two weeks. Only real criticism of the defense.

Pennel covering a RB?

That’s stupid.

Pennel in coverage doesn't quite work there.

I guess the other way to view it is the defense is really decent 3/4s of the time. Got to believe these fu**ers can't keep converting these...surely?

Who was it that was asking why we weren’t blitzing more?

Just got to hope for bend but don't break

Pennel is the only defensive player worse at coverage than Nazi Johnson.

Announcers are good

Force a FG here

Imagine dropping Mike pennel.

****s sake.

Please keep feeding Harris. He's slow and terrible.

Great play Keith Taylor

The zone blitz creates a lot of weird matchups.

Taylor nice tackle.

Good shit Wharton

Why would anyone in their right mind do that?

Spags celebrating holding them to a fg when we had them stopped twice for a punt

SACK!!

Yes!!!!

Defense!
