Official Game Thread - Week 10 - Steelers @ Commanders

I am pretty sure Luke closed his eyes on this kick ass throw - go full screen for the best look. He has good hands so that could explain it. Ball was coming in so hot straight at his face that he flinched.

the brown drops got to me.
 
We lost this game today. Period.

Buuuut…

I’m kind of amazed at how egregiously awful that spot was on the 4th down attempt. I had to rewind because I thought I had the wrong yard line.

There is no way that ball should have been spotted at the 42.

Now… did Ertz have the first? Well, that’s a different topic. But there was MORE than enough evidence to overturn the original spot at the 42 yard line and put the ball where they believed Ertz was touched. And then measured.

Instead they opted to put their fingers in the ears and yell really loud.

As far as the team goes it still is missing a lot of pieces. Noah Brown has been excellent, but he’s not a #2. We need another high end receiver.

I’d like to see Sinnott start to earn a bit more playing time. Our line needs another high end upgrade. Even with Lattimore we need another starting corner (so Lattimore, New guy and Sain in the slot with Noah as primary back up) and we could probably use a safety.

But our new DL is better than the “best DL in football” with Young, Sweat Payne and Allen… and it only has one of those guys.

Daniels played relatively well today. I know it wasn’t a typical game for him but he didn’t make any egregious mistakes. He missed a few. But played okay. McLaurin was great.

If I was doing a Next Day Thread, though, Zaccheus would have gotten 3 frowns. Wow was he off.

Anyways, on to Philly.
Do a Next Day thread!!
 
I hate Mondays after a loss
 
This one stings because that was our game to win, had many opportunities!! That was a horrible spot that was given to us by the refs, on that 4th down, still pissed about that. Of course, can't look past that St. Juste let down play either, especially with that much of a cushion to begin with 🤦! Hopefully we bounce back Thursday night!! #HAIL
 
He had the first down, but Ertz should know better than to leave any gray area on the field when you're playing Pittsburgh or NYG. The refs will always make sure the call goes their ways.
 
cant win them all. hangin with the ravens and steelers is almost as good this year. Lets get that extra push with Lattimore and BRob to get us over the top this Thursday
 
This loss was heartbreaking, but not backbreaking. Gibbs didn't win a SB in his first season, and I am willing to wait until the current regime's second or third season to win it all. Ultimately, our best chance is to win big while JD is still on his rookie contract. That we are contenders this year is wonderful, all the same.
 
The bad spot is nothing new. I've noticed for years that a runner appears to score touchdown. Only the replay showed his knee hit first. At that point the ball is inches short of the goal line. But they spot it at the 1 yard line. This has been going on for years and it's always driven me nuts.

Yep way ahead of schedule and playing with house money. Just getting playoff experience will be a win for this season
 
Wrong Day Thread but I think our glorious hail mary victory versus Chicago broke the spirit of that org.

May see Tyson Bagent soon.

In all seriousness, my one quibble about Williams besides the personality stuff (which can be overcome) was that he holds the ball for so long. In college, you can get away with that a bit more. Even a really good football school. In the NFL, you can't. You have to be a rhythm passer or have great field vision as a runner to take what's there. You also have to have the coaching support. I don't think the Chicago staff has bad offensive coaches, to be honest. But I don't think they are great with developing young, athletic quarterback types who have a penchant for holding the ball (maybe very few, if any are). Fields and now Williams have both struggled in Chicago. Williams has a lot more weapons, too.

Chicago needs to go a different direction offensively. Either with this staff or another. They can't succeed with Williams having the third highest sack rate through his amount of games played EVER. He makes Howell look like a rhythm throwing machine.
 
Drop Comp. My 9 year old with 4 weeks of football interest under his belt said on the 2nd drop - he hit him early! Good catch. No pun intended but it was just a millisecond early they aint calling that especially since Noah is a big rig and barely budged.

 
That drop compilation missed the one McCaffrey dropped that you posted earlier. A couple included in there were off target throws too. But just think about how much better the day would have been if even half of those balls were caught. The one late to Noah Brown was big, but to me the biggest one was the Ertz drop. Wide open, perfect pass, easy run for a first down to keep the drive going. But he dropped it and they settled for a FG. A first down there and you are possibly looking at going up 10 instead of 6.

Yeah...I thought they could have called PI on that second one. Certainly have seen that called before.
 
In the sea of drops I missed that the drop comp didnt have the Luke drop. Nice "catch" Kel Varnsen - can you play wideout lol.

I am still bummed we missed a chance to see JD pull off a game winning drive and continue to add to what appears to be a quickly growing legacy. Ice another coveted Pepsi award.

Fun fact I heard today. 300 yards passing by QBs in a game this year - they are down 50% from a year ago. I am not sure why but it could be running QBs are becoming more popular coupled with QB/WR injuries league wide. And of course, simple poor QB play like Richardson Danny Deutschmark etc.
