Steelers look to Rudolph to save Christmas
- Thread starter PSU Soupy
- Start date
I keep rooting for the Steelers to finagle their way into the playoffs but every now and then I step back and say, why does it matter because they have no chance of going far in the playoffs anyway? The offense is just too anemic.
Bell and Brown were somewhat a-holish, but them being gone makes me appreciate that they could play. And the same goes for Roethlisberger.
Actually, the defense is improved with young stars like Watt, Bush, and Fitzpatrick. A decent offense would make the Steelers one of the better teams in the league.

Duck gave Washington a chance on that third down play, it was a good throw just a great defensive play. Godwin catches that and wins it if he's on the receiving end
Steelers went into this season not prepared for a season ending injury to an old QB. This is unacceptable...injuries happen. New Orleans lost Brees for a bunch of games and did not skip a beat.
Might as well join the rest of them. Connor, Pouncey, McDonald, etc, etc. They're always hurt for one reason or another.

Do the Saints have 3 guys recently acquired from other team's practice squads playing meaningful snaps at skilled positions because of injuries?

I bet they wish they didn't trade Josh Dobbs for a 5th round pick before the season.
Please.....injuries are s part of the game. Check out the Patriots injuries this season.
You mean the team that just got caught blatantly cheating? For a 3rd time?
Can we fire the oc already. I mean if everyone’s is hurt then just take what the defense gives you. Every drive he has to throw the bomb which isn’t there. I just don’t get it. Like psu explosive play stupid theory. First down is an explosive play and offense was moving the ball several times. Each drive they had to throw it long and guess what. They lost to the jets. Lost to the bills all down the stretch just like last year and now we need luck to get into the playoff and we were in the driver seat since we beat most of the cruddy teams in the second half of the season. Is this 3 out of 4 years? We wait for someone else. Now we have to beat the ravens. Hopefully they sit everyone.
Any truth to the rumor the Steeler are going to bring back Cliff Stoudt? You Stihlers fans always treated him so well.
Note also, that the Eagles have 11 players on IR and still come through with a clutch win against a much better team than the Jets. Injuries are a part of the game. Good teams with goid coaching gut out wins regardless my friend.
Are you sure they are that much better than the Jets?
We are talking marginal......the point being who gutted out the win regardless of injuries.
Ok. And both teams are 8-7 and have a shot at the playoffs. So?
It's over....The Steelers will not win next week. And my point is this. The Steelers lack the coaching, the discipline and the mental fortitude to win a big game. Even against inferior competition. Thus has been the trend over the past couple years.
Dobbs is horrible and probably not better then Rudolph and just slightly better then Hodges.
Tomlin won 8 games with a JV squad. I don’t think coaching was a issue this season. Injuries were.
And what would you call the job Peterson did with 11 players on IR and losing Ertz for much of 4thhe game today?
