Official Packer/Steeler Thread

Guess I'd rather lose another AFC game and have the Seahawks and Cards to finish the season. Tough to go into the playoffs with a gigantic streak - maybe this wakes them back up.

I agree. Maybe this is another TB-type wake up call.

Uhh guys, how is losing this game going to keep us out of the playoffs? If we beat Seattle we are pretty much in.

If we were going to lose to Seattle and AZ, then we don't deserve to be in the playoffs anyway.

the play calling on our scoring drive was also pretty stupid IMO

we could have run the ball, and run a lot more time of the clock

we left way too much time for them to come back

our coaches, and players for that matter, sucked today

[imscott72]

This one hurts really really bad..I just hope we don't miss the playoffs over this one..

We won't miss the playoffs. That I'm not worried about.

Do we seriously want to be in the playoffs? We're obviously one and done. We have way too many penalties over and over, no depth in the secondary, lack of pass rush, etc. I just don't see how we could possibly succeed if we did get in.

Why is Bush on this team? He has done no good since he has been here.

Welcome to the forum! Good to have you here.

I'd guess the answer to your question is that he's a special teams demon. Unfortunately he isn't a very good corner back.

[Brandon494]

If Jenkins makes that sack the play before the god damn game is over as well. Also 3 penalties on the final drive is BS. Once against your secondary looks like shit against a good QB.

looks like the off side kick actually won the game for them....sigh

Bush and Bell fucking suck. Amazing that we'd rather have Bell in there than another down lineman.

I think this is a good point. The defensive line is the strength of the team - so put four of them out there to rush, or rush three and a linebacker or two. Put some heat on Rothlisberger.

And really, look at Bell's coverage. Come on. It was actually pretty darn good.

Yea this isn't on Bell at all. Ben simply had the time AGAIN to put it exactly where he needed to for Wallace to get it.

Offense did everything it needed to do. This one is all on the defense... and Mason.

Charles Woodson played liek shit today too, don't want to hear anymore crap about him being better than Revis.

[WEASERGB]

Thanks for the welcome. Is Bush really a special teams demon? I have watched every game this season and I do not see him as a ST demon.

Who said he's better than Revis? Man, it's not even close..

sorry, but if we don't get things straightened out fast arizona is gonna light us up in two weeks

steelers just exposed a giant weakness. our coverage sucks. we have one great CB, one decent one in t-will. then guys that have no right being in the nfl

if we're only gonna rush three then teams will kill us through the air

That's what people say about him. However, he often runs himself right out of the play, or at least I noticed on 2 or 3 kicks in the Thanksgiving game.

Losing by one point with no time left is not a wake up call, this one is going to hurt. Good thing we have Seattle next but the way our pass defense looked today Hassellback will prob throw for 600 yards.

His skills on ST's do not trump his weakness in the nickle. I'm sick of it.
