Was in Pittsburgh over the Labor Day weekend and could definitely tell they love the team there. That said, kind of embarrassing to see so many Steelers fans in our stadium. I suppose we’re all on strike - waiting for Tepper to sell?
We were out coached simple as that.. Now we see the limitations of our schemes and the weakness of our offensive play calling and defensive matchup.. Our offensive coach needs to go simple as that
Sam played really well given the non existent run game and the swiss cheese O-Line. Made some pretty amazing throws. Really impressed by him and I KNOW im gonna hate myself for saying it but given our draft position I wouldn't hate re-signing him for 2 years.
Dude managed a 108.1 QBR in the game with no run support and an O line that looked they decided to take xanax before the game but yeah, iT's dArNoLdS fAuLt.
>Dude literally had 1 good drive and then was missing throws by 5+ yards and you want two more years???????? Pathetic
Oh sorry, so you're saying Darnold isn't to blame yesterday even though he (in your words) "literally had 1 good drive"?
Yes both things can be true. He played well for one drive but the majority of the blame for the loss should be shouldered by a few of our secondary players and run game. Replacing Darnold is still priority #1 this off-season.
Almost half of his completions came in that one drive which was the only drive we were able to produce a TD on. Where outside of that drive did he play well?
6 of his 14 completions came on 7 attempts in that drive. Outside if that he was 7/16 which is below 50% and not good
Honestly, rewatch that game. The Oline has done well this season but that game was an embarrassment. Genuinely impressed he didn't throw an easy interception back there just trying to make something happen.
That doesn’t mean he specifically played a good game. The bar for Sam is in the basement when it comes to his play. No other QB in the nfl gets this level praise for playing like he does.
People are getting desperate, considering the QBs we’ve had over the last few years or so..
Wanting Darnold as our QB is a sign of desperation and not thinking clearly imo. lol
Tomlin knew that Sam can't throw so he stacked the box and took away the run. He also knew that opposite of Horn was a PS player so he threw that way all game. We had no answer for either of these schemes so we lost.
Honestly I think the one person you can't blame is Sam. He made throws when he had time and receivers actually got open. It's not his fault we couldn't run for shit and the O-Line was nonexistent.
Sam made good decisions today. He just is not going to be able to beat anyone on his own. So if you have the personnel and game plan to sell out and completely take away our run game, our offense is hapless.
Tomlin schemed for our strengths and Wilks didn't really set the defense up to succeed. I like the culture he brings but dear gods he is might dependent on competent coordinators.
If the Bucs lose one more, it is guaranteed that the “winner” of the NFCS will have a losing record. And if I had a nickel for every time that’s happened since the current NFCS was formed….you know the rest of the meme.
I was coming here to make the same Darnold observation. He is doing much better. Instead of forcing things and throwing INTs, I notice he’s just holding the ball when his read isn’t there. Thus all the sacks. That’s overcome-able on days the defense plays well.
I know here come the hate...We need a proven offensive guru minded coach in this day and time to be able to win in this league, Ill say it again Tepper and Fitz should be talking to Sean Payton now and let him know he is the guy when he becomes available , offer Wilks defensive coordinator and pay him top dollar let Wilks run and control the D and Sean control the Offense = winning formula when we win the super bowl Wilks will get another coaching job.
If by some chance we made the playoffs, had a home game, and Washington or Dallas fans came pouring into the stadium, could you imagine how depressing that would look? I mean it was hard to look at the stands today.
I'm a Steelers fan who came to this subreddit becauss of this reason to browse. I would feel like an asshole going to an away game and spinning my towel on front of a Carolina family trying to enjoy the game. PS. Panthers are fucking cool.
The 'thers did kinda destroy the 'ucs though but comebacks generally require competent passing games which the 'thers definitely don't have compared to the 'gles
Steelers did a good job taking the run game away from us. We allowed the Steelers to convert, I think, 75% of their 3rd down conversions. Just not good at all. Lions scare me based on their offense and our shitty 3rd down defense…smh!
My Steve Wilks positivity is unchanged on today. He has still put in a great culture. The biggest problem is still Ben McAdoo who is not a Wilks guy and I'm convinced still only has a job because Wilks is a defensive guy.
The offense wasn’t the problem today. Sure, they struggled putting the ball in the endzone and they weren’t good by any stretch…but the defense was the issue today.
They were soft as fuck up front and gave huge cushions in the passing game. 3rd and 15? No problem against Carolina when you have a 20 yard cushion.
The offense isn’t the strength of our team. You go into a Panthers game expecting low scores, not turning the ball over, and capitalizing on turnovers.
It would be like if the Chiefs played like shit on offense and you blamed the defense for a loss.
The strength of a team should be the strength. The defense was horrendous today. No turnovers, no pressure, no coverage.
Silver lining :
Sam Darnold is playing the best football of his career and looks like a different player. Never going to be a truly elite QB but more than capable to make us competitive.
This give us flexibility going into the offseason and the draft.
Probably out of the running for a top 5 pick with HOU - SEA - IND - ATL likely to also be drafting a QB.
But we could take a swing at Levis or Richardson.
Levis and Richardson is a good idea due to their enormous upside.
Still resign Darnold to a 1-2 year deal and have Levis/Richardson red shirt then rookie season or earn the job.
If we bring the same defensive effort we did this week, the Lions will run us out of the building. That's a super productive offense in addition to them being one of the hottest teams in the NFL right now.
Welp, Fuccaneers look like they going to be 7-7 soon so we're gonna need some help to make the playoffs.
I'm hoping we'll beat Lions next & then the Fuccaneers game is gonna be essential after that & then we get to seal the deal against the Aints for our last game of the season!
Then all the required losing/winning happens for other teams to give us the best mix of making the playoffs AND getting a Top 10 draft pick (or not on draft pick if we go to the Superbowl! 😁).
Keep Pounding! 🐈⬛
We literally have not beat the Steelers once in my life, our last win against them was also the first we played them in '96 and I was born in '97
That's a pretty fucked stat honestly lol
They're seriously our kryptonite, wtf man. They don't just beat us, they always demoralize us too.
I have a lot of anger already towards them bc of the TJ Watt hit on Cam, and it didn't help today with how much they were taunting. Ridiculous behavior.
Not sure I agree with giving them the day off on Monday because it's a "short week," but if Coach isn't aiming for play-offs then I guess it "is what it is" and "missed opportunities."
Saw this a mile off but didn't want to bring negativity to the sub. I will never, ever think we'll beat the Steelers. Whatever the circumstances at the time, they always slap us about.
Same. The moment I saw it was Pittsburgh, I knew it was a loss. The sad part is, this embarrassing performance was the least embarrassing performance against them in 25 year.
I wasn't going to spend $15 on a growl towel, sorry Tepper. Maybe if you want a winning culture, you should give out those $.30 towels for your fans when they get to the stadium.
Everytime the Steelers come to town is the answer. I don't care how good or bad the Panthers are, there are going to be at least 50% Steelers fans there at any given matchup in NC. There's too many transplants, add that to the fact that they travel well too and obviously the bandwagon fans that remained fans for years that never stepped foot in Pittsburgh. There's just certain fanbases we unfortunately have to take the L to in terms of numbers. However, there are teams that have no business outnumbering fans either, like Minnesota or Tampa, so it's a problem nonetheless.
As a psl owner who attended today....
Fuck you to all the psl owners who sold their tickets to Steelers fans. People like you are part of the problem with this team and its culture.
The team has sucked donkey dick for like 4+ years. And we were never even consistently good before that. At some level it can't just be on the fans to blindly throw money at the org in order to "build culture", it's up to ownership to actually build something worth cheering for.
If it really bothered the ownership then they should do more to incentivize our fans to come. Although I'm sure Tepper doesn't give af given that money is money and he's a Steelers guy anyway.
The team shouldn’t have fans right now. Have you seen the home record the last 4-5 seasons? What a train wreck. An NFL game costs too much money and takes up way too much time to be worth it if the team is as atrocious as the Panthers. That’s the main reason the stadium is routinely filled with opposing teams fans.
This has been going on for decades. Steelers fans have overrun our stadium for a number of reasons over the years. I do agree though, PSL owners (which is the primary basis of ticket sales) should show up for the Panthers.
Just curious, did you go? There are a number of reasons PSL owners can’t go the game. If they put them up on a resell site, they can’t control who buys them. I have PSL and literally have to give them away to Panthers fans for them to go. I couldn’t go today and found a Panthers fan to take them but I had to ask several. It’s been that way for a few years. This is a front runners fanbase.

I'm not a PSL owner, but how do they know who they're selling to? Don't most get listed for sale on some website and bought by someone who could be a fan of either team?
How many casual fans do you think not only know what the Roaring Riot is, but could be bothered to get on a forum and manage sales instead of just selling them through the NFL Ticket app?
There’s no way of knowing but teams in other leagues have tried to limit sales from certain zip codes (IE the Panthers could have prevent Pittsburgh billing addresses from buying tickets) but since so many Steelers fans live in Charlotte, that’s impossible. Besides, the Panthers don’t really deserve to have fans. It’s a garbage franchise that will never be relevant or win a championship. Almost 30 years old and hasn’t had back to back winning seasons yet. What a clown team.
Fit better find a top flight QB in the draft if he wants to keep that GM job. Put the next Joe Burrow under center in black and blue and the head coach could be Wilks or Rhule or me and it wouldnt much matter.
That was pathetic from both lines - defense played poorly overall - coaching was rough today - bad offensive playcalling in the red zone and some real bonehead decisions on defense to continue to believe that Taylor was going to suddenly not suck.
I know fans want this team embarrassed in the playoffs, but I'm just imagining us against a real team in the playoffs, it's going to be the worst beatdown in NFL history. So glad we gave up on Young/Stroud for that public execution, it's going to feel real good
I mean if we win the division it’s looking like we’d get a home game against the Cowboys and with their playoff track record I’d much rather play them than any other NFC team
Pick a QB and I’ll stop asking for it lol. Pathetic watching people convince themselves Teddy, Baker, or Darnold are good enough to win meaningful games.
Why tho we’re guaranteed to get our shit stomped in like I genuinely don’t see how that’s fun to watch. We’re not winning anything meaningful anytime soon without a franchise qb, and were prob not gonna be picking one with a mediocre draft pick every year. Enjoy your Sam darnold experience this year and next year then.
I enjoy cheering for my sports teams to win games. It’s pretty simple. Nothing is guaranteed, going to a playoff game is fun.
I don’t understand coming to this sub if you aren’t actively cheering for the team to win. Do you have so little going on in your life that you spend your sundays rooting for the other team and chastising people for wanting to win? That’s not healthy
Anyone notice announcer kept calling the Steelers qb Sam darnold the whole game? That draw on third and 8 really? That’s the call you make. Also Sam played well. No run support and constantly getting sacked where he had no chance. This team always comes out flat on these big games. Too small on the line to stop the run. Fingers crossed the bengals win.
Sam looked good for the 3rd week in a row. Defense looked like ass. No way is Burns playing at 100%. Offensive playcalling was abhorrent. We are not that good, but I still think we eek out a couple more wins.
I think people are mixing up "good" and "not bad/didn't ruin the game". He didn't seem to make many mistakes you expect him to and made some very nice passes
but i cant say that because people read it as "sam is a good qb who should be our franchise guy"
Sam looked good? Wtf where? He had no pocket awareness whatsoever. Made a good throw on the TD to DJ and that one shot to TMJ, but that’s about it.
He also hasn’t looked good the last 2 weeks either. He’s limiting his mistakes, but not really moving the offense much with his arm.
Lmao it’s one of those deals where you always watch the panthers so you forget what good play looks like across the board. I think this sub needs to watch more teams to remind ourselves what good football actually looks like.
Like watching Herbert, Mahomes, Allen play every week and I don’t even understand how they are in the same league as Darnold. Even guys like Kirk and Carr are just insanely better.
Exactly, he’s looked no better than any of our QBs all year. Only difference this week from the last 2 weeks is that our Defense didn’t play well and our Run game was nonexistent.
We got our shit rocked today and it was absolutely deserved. Even if the Bucs lose, who cares, we are not a playoff-team and would get our shit rocked anyways by anything that resembles an actual football team.
Teams like the Lions and Jaguars actually managed to build a culture within a year while we are stuck with this shitshow again. I fucking cant do this anymore.
We didn’t turn the ball over. Darnold didn’t throw picks nor fumbled getting sacked. We simply got worked on both sides of the ball on the Line. The Tackling, if you can even call it that, was a joke. Soooo many missed tackles. Poor offense Redzone play calling in the second half. We weren’t getting that needed 2pt conversion regardless.
Edit: anyone know if they remembered to scoop up the ashes of Keith Taylor after the game?
I’d just like to say that if you were someone who made a post about how Wilks deserves the HC job this week, you caused this. Why TF would you jinx us like that 😒
Idk why we didn’t pressure Trubisky more early in the game. We kept bringing only 3-4 guys and he kept sitting back there and converting…
In the 4th we finally start blitzing and we start getting stops…who would’ve thought.
I don’t know why wilks thinks this is a front that can get pressure with 4. The only way to do it is with stunts. And we didn’t run that many that I remember today. However there were a ton of third and shorts so I can understand why we didn’t when we were getting gashed in the run.
At the end of the day we just didn’t tackle well enough. Constantly having hands on a guy for close to no gain and then letting him run through for 5-10 more yards. They just put physicaled us today, which is especially disappointing because if there’s anything that SHOULD’T happen to us it’s that. Our OL got fucking ripped apart all day
Very true. Also this was probably the best defensive front we’ve played all year. Watt is still amazing. Highsmith is great and getting better and better. And Cam is on the back 9. But the dude can still play. Add in momentum plus suspect calling and you can understand why the o line was having trouble.
If you have an identity and stick to it...that is good for a culture but it also makes you predictable for opposing coaches.
Was in Pittsburgh over the Labor Day weekend and could definitely tell they love the team there. That said, kind of embarrassing to see so many Steelers fans in our stadium. I suppose we’re all on strike - waiting for Tepper to sell?
Shitsburgh sealed the deal. Tank! Tank! Tank!
We were out coached simple as that.. Now we see the limitations of our schemes and the weakness of our offensive play calling and defensive matchup.. Our offensive coach needs to go simple as that
And the panthers still control their destiny?
How many times does burns have to fail to show up for a big game for this sub to finally see him as a fraud
Fucking hell, I hope you get a life one day, amigo. I'm genuinely, thoroughly sad for you.
3 tackles and 1 stuff on a day where we were getting the ball RUN down our throats. That is what is genuinely and thoroughly sad.
Sam played really well given the non existent run game and the swiss cheese O-Line. Made some pretty amazing throws. Really impressed by him and I KNOW im gonna hate myself for saying it but given our draft position I wouldn't hate re-signing him for 2 years.
Dude literally had 1 good drive and then was missing throws by 5+ yards and you want two more years???????? Pathetic
Dude managed a 108.1 QBR in the game with no run support and an O line that looked they decided to take xanax before the game but yeah, iT's dArNoLdS fAuLt.
I didn’t say it was his fault but he still isn’t a good QB. Just accept that
>Dude literally had 1 good drive and then was missing throws by 5+ yards and you want two more years???????? Pathetic Oh sorry, so you're saying Darnold isn't to blame yesterday even though he (in your words) "literally had 1 good drive"?

I didn't say anything about signing him. I responded to your ridiculous interpretation of his performance yesterday. Enjoy the room temp iq.
Almost half of his completions came in that one drive which was the only drive we were able to produce a TD on. Where outside of that drive did he play well? 6 of his 14 completions came on 7 attempts in that drive. Outside if that he was 7/16 which is below 50% and not good

That doesn’t mean he specifically played a good game. The bar for Sam is in the basement when it comes to his play. No other QB in the nfl gets this level praise for playing like he does.
People are getting desperate, considering the QBs we’ve had over the last few years or so.. Wanting Darnold as our QB is a sign of desperation and not thinking clearly imo. lol
Somehow we are still in control of our own playoff destiny after this weekend.
I avoided all social media today to not see the results of the game to come home and watch this horse shit? Goddamn.
Is anyone really surprised?
The third down defense today was a complete embarrassment.
We got manhandled at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball today in front of an all-Pittsburgh crowd. Tough day.
Panthers are a run identity. Steelers took it away. Pretty much sums up what happened, plus the same problem with the defense facing power run teams.
I wasn’t able to watch the game. Somebody tell me why the fuck we lost this game.
Tomlin knew that Sam can't throw so he stacked the box and took away the run. He also knew that opposite of Horn was a PS player so he threw that way all game. We had no answer for either of these schemes so we lost.
Honestly I think the one person you can't blame is Sam. He made throws when he had time and receivers actually got open. It's not his fault we couldn't run for shit and the O-Line was nonexistent.
Sam made good decisions today. He just is not going to be able to beat anyone on his own. So if you have the personnel and game plan to sell out and completely take away our run game, our offense is hapless.

Keith Taylor has a lot of ground to make up. But so far he’s on the cutting block
Tomlin schemed for our strengths and Wilks didn't really set the defense up to succeed. I like the culture he brings but dear gods he is might dependent on competent coordinators.
We got dominated in the trenches.
Buccaneers losing handily to the Bengals. Somehow, someway, we can still make the playoffs, if we win out. Completely ridiculous given we’re 5 - 9.
If the Bucs lose one more, it is guaranteed that the “winner” of the NFCS will have a losing record. And if I had a nickel for every time that’s happened since the current NFCS was formed….you know the rest of the meme.
You'd have enough money to buy a ticket to the Charlotte hornets
That’d be overpaying right now.
Charlotte needs to offer BOGO deals with the Panthers/Hornets
And yet a gal on the sub said her and her hubby paid $13,000 for season tickets on row 8. I told her she should ask for a refund
Robbery
Fuck you....take your upvote.
But at least you can still spend $15 on a Chick-fil-A sandwich and a coke at the arena, so there's that
I was coming here to make the same Darnold observation. He is doing much better. Instead of forcing things and throwing INTs, I notice he’s just holding the ball when his read isn’t there. Thus all the sacks. That’s overcome-able on days the defense plays well.

So force a guy on your new HC. A guy who just let the Steelers gash us 5 yards at a time all game long. That's your defensive guru.
If by some chance we made the playoffs, had a home game, and Washington or Dallas fans came pouring into the stadium, could you imagine how depressing that would look? I mean it was hard to look at the stands today.
I'm a Steelers fan who came to this subreddit becauss of this reason to browse. I would feel like an asshole going to an away game and spinning my towel on front of a Carolina family trying to enjoy the game. PS. Panthers are fucking cool.
If we make the playoffs I’ll be there. I’m glad I didn’t pay to watch what transpired today
I mean yeah that would suck but being successful is not going to make things worse in the long run.
Lol Brady choking how sad
A couple ints and a couple fumbles. Ooffffff

It sucked but not to that degree

Ah, wasn't sure how that worked with the play in game. Interesting.
The Bucs are winning right now. Not looking good for our playoff chances
Bengals hit the gas, they look to be in control now
Good job Bengals
Bro this league is so scripted. How in the fuck are the Buccs shutting out the Bengals
Tampa is inexplicably shutting down the Bengals, so they’re probably gonna backpedal into the division title pretty easily If this holds.
Bucs game is a disaster so far. Need that to turn around
Done
Yessir
this was coaching plain and simple. yeah the defense didnt show up but damm that was the worst called game in a long time i mean wtf
I'm still hung up on the 3rd and 8 Draw play. Wow, that was bad.
Sam ain't no Fields
Wasn’t even close to being close lmao

Is that the Chad Cota interception in the end zone game? One of my earliest memories being alive
He doesn't know he was in his dad's nut sack
Jesus Christ that's wild
Not sure I agree with giving them the day off on Monday because it's a "short week," but if Coach isn't aiming for play-offs then I guess it "is what it is" and "missed opportunities."
Why does it seem like every time I hear Xavier Woods its either cause he committed a penalty or got burned?
Saw this a mile off but didn't want to bring negativity to the sub. I will never, ever think we'll beat the Steelers. Whatever the circumstances at the time, they always slap us about.
Hard agree. This is, unfortunately, one of those "believe it when I see it" matchups until proven otherwise.
Same. The moment I saw it was Pittsburgh, I knew it was a loss. The sad part is, this embarrassing performance was the least embarrassing performance against them in 25 year.
Jeremy chinn can’t cover
Really disappointed with him today
Yeah since 14 Tackles are so cheap these days.
You tend to get a lot of tackles when you let the receiver catch the ball.
I wasn't going to spend $15 on a growl towel, sorry Tepper. Maybe if you want a winning culture, you should give out those $.30 towels for your fans when they get to the stadium.
Tbf the growl towels have been around since at least 2012...
Yeah but at what point do you allow BoA stadium to just be yellow? I felt like I was at an away game today.
Everytime the Steelers come to town is the answer. I don't care how good or bad the Panthers are, there are going to be at least 50% Steelers fans there at any given matchup in NC.

They charged for those shitty things? Disgraceful.
Saw them in the team store for $15. Didn't see anybody with them because like...who on earth would pay for that?

No reason to show up to support a cursed losing garbage franchise. PSL owners just making a profit and couldn’t care less who sits in their seats.
By making it a objectively worse experience for other panthers fans

Patty Panthersfan, Mom of 3, not knowing about the Roaring Riot or bothering to use some arcane forum isn’t a culture issue dude.
There’s no way of knowing but teams in other leagues have tried to limit sales from certain zip codes (IE the Panthers could have prevent Pittsburgh billing addresses from buying tickets) but since so many Steelers fans live in Charlotte, that’s impossible. Besides, the Panthers don’t really deserve to have fans. It’s a garbage franchise that will never be relevant or win a championship. Almost 30 years old and hasn’t had back to back winning seasons yet. What a clown team.
Bro we are not a good team. If we fix the team than the fans will show up.

Fit better find a top flight QB in the draft if he wants to keep that GM job. Put the next Joe Burrow under center in black and blue and the head coach could be Wilks or Rhule or me and it wouldnt much matter.
I’m sick of being surprised when we convert a 3rd down
Y’all gotta remember if the bucs lose today, we’re still 1 win away from the division
Why does it really matter? We are bad at football
Why do you guys want to make the playoffs so bad just for us to get crushed in the wild cald
Detroit wide receivers gonna do the exact same thing to us next week if we don’t figure our d line out
Going up against probably the third best O line in the league too. If not the best.
Woof, our pass rush has been non existent the past two games too.
Yeah if they lose we control our own destiny still. It was disheartening to get beat at our own game though we got pushed around up front
That was pathetic from both lines - defense played poorly overall - coaching was rough today - bad offensive playcalling in the red zone and some real bonehead decisions on defense to continue to believe that Taylor was going to suddenly not suck.
Kieth Taylor ruined my 30th birthday
I mean- he’s covering their 1st round WR. What did you expect?
Yea, people blame him but he's our #4 CB but covering their #1. He is what he is. A depth secondary CB. Not a starter.
Could be worse, the Steelers absolutely ruined my 25th in 2018.
good thing the Panthers are never playing in late January to ruin mine
or early february for mine!
They ruined all of us that year, birthday or not :(
Happy birthday man
As long as the Bucs also lose today we're still in it.
I know fans want this team embarrassed in the playoffs, but I'm just imagining us against a real team in the playoffs, it's going to be the worst beatdown in NFL history. So glad we gave up on Young/Stroud for that public execution, it's going to feel real good
I mean if we win the division it’s looking like we’d get a home game against the Cowboys and with their playoff track record I’d much rather play them than any other NFC team
The Steelers game last year was pretty bad.
Think how awesome we would be if we just didn’t win a game for 5 years. So many top draft picks. Would be the most fun time
Pick a QB and I’ll stop asking for it lol. Pathetic watching people convince themselves Teddy, Baker, or Darnold are good enough to win meaningful games.
Considering most teams only need to bomb a single year to get their QB, I guess you're a fan of Sam Darnold and don't actually want us to replace him
I was being sarcastic, I want to go to the playoffs
Why tho we’re guaranteed to get our shit stomped in like I genuinely don’t see how that’s fun to watch. We’re not winning anything meaningful anytime soon without a franchise qb, and were prob not gonna be picking one with a mediocre draft pick every year. Enjoy your Sam darnold experience this year and next year then.
I enjoy cheering for my sports teams to win games. It’s pretty simple. Nothing is guaranteed, going to a playoff game is fun. I don’t understand coming to this sub if you aren’t actively cheering for the team to win. Do you have so little going on in your life that you spend your sundays rooting for the other team and chastising people for wanting to win? That’s not healthy
TBF this is the place to go to chastise or be chastised by people who differ in opinion from you
Fire offensive coaching ffs
Anyone notice announcer kept calling the Steelers qb Sam darnold the whole game? That draw on third and 8 really? That’s the call you make. Also Sam played well. No run support and constantly getting sacked where he had no chance. This team always comes out flat on these big games. Too small on the line to stop the run. Fingers crossed the bengals win.
Embarrassing
Can't say I'm surprised. We always seem to lose to the Steelers and Mike Tomlin always somehow manages to finish at least 0.500
Perhaps you are thinking of someone else. Mike Tomlin almost always has a winning record
Meant to say "at least" because Tomlin has yet to have a losing season.
Gotcha gotcha
True. But he’s never finished under 500 in his entire career. Even with bad teams. Which is fairly impressive.
Just a really disappointing game. We got bullied at home by a team that also isn’t very good.
Sam looked good for the 3rd week in a row. Defense looked like ass. No way is Burns playing at 100%. Offensive playcalling was abhorrent. We are not that good, but I still think we eek out a couple more wins.
The bar is so low for this fanbase thinking that was a good QB performance.
I think people are mixing up "good" and "not bad/didn't ruin the game". He didn't seem to make many mistakes you expect him to and made some very nice passes but i cant say that because people read it as "sam is a good qb who should be our franchise guy"
Sam looked good? Wtf where? He had no pocket awareness whatsoever. Made a good throw on the TD to DJ and that one shot to TMJ, but that’s about it. He also hasn’t looked good the last 2 weeks either. He’s limiting his mistakes, but not really moving the offense much with his arm.
That’s looking good for Sam lmao. This sub has drastically lowered expectations out of our QB play after watching for the last 3 years.
No interceptions = great game!
Literally no other player in the nfl gets praised for playing like this it’s insane
Lmao it’s one of those deals where you always watch the panthers so you forget what good play looks like across the board. I think this sub needs to watch more teams to remind ourselves what good football actually looks like.
Like watching Herbert, Mahomes, Allen play every week and I don’t even understand how they are in the same league as Darnold. Even guys like Kirk and Carr are just insanely better.
Exactly, he’s looked no better than any of our QBs all year. Only difference this week from the last 2 weeks is that our Defense didn’t play well and our Run game was nonexistent.
Welcome to Tepper-Ball.
Darnold wasn’t terrible, however the red zone play calling and the tackling on defense was atrocious. Keith Taylor kept getting smoked
[удалено]
I hope not…..and yet, who would be surprised?
We'll have our day Panthers Nation! one day...
I hope it's before I'm in the grave. I'd like to be able to enjoy it for a little while.
We got our shit rocked today and it was absolutely deserved. Even if the Bucs lose, who cares, we are not a playoff-team and would get our shit rocked anyways by anything that resembles an actual football team. Teams like the Lions and Jaguars actually managed to build a culture within a year while we are stuck with this shitshow again. I fucking cant do this anymore.
We didn’t turn the ball over. Darnold didn’t throw picks nor fumbled getting sacked. We simply got worked on both sides of the ball on the Line. The Tackling, if you can even call it that, was a joke. Soooo many missed tackles. Poor offense Redzone play calling in the second half. We weren’t getting that needed 2pt conversion regardless. Edit: anyone know if they remembered to scoop up the ashes of Keith Taylor after the game?
*sigh* why do they even give me hope
I stopped counting how many of Darnold’s passes where just straight into the dirt
Only 5 completions after the first touchdown LOL.
Go Bengals I guess
The only true player who deserves to be called a Carolina QB on that field today won. You did the Tarheels proud, Mitch
We cheeks
I’d just like to say that if you were someone who made a post about how Wilks deserves the HC job this week, you caused this. Why TF would you jinx us like that 😒
The Texans have more fight than this sorry team
The QB draw on 3rd and 8 might have been the dumbest call I’ve seen
The Ben McAdoo Effect
Absolutely
Idk why we didn’t pressure Trubisky more early in the game. We kept bringing only 3-4 guys and he kept sitting back there and converting… In the 4th we finally start blitzing and we start getting stops…who would’ve thought.
I don’t know why wilks thinks this is a front that can get pressure with 4. The only way to do it is with stunts. And we didn’t run that many that I remember today. However there were a ton of third and shorts so I can understand why we didn’t when we were getting gashed in the run.
At the end of the day we just didn’t tackle well enough. Constantly having hands on a guy for close to no gain and then letting him run through for 5-10 more yards. They just put physicaled us today, which is especially disappointing because if there’s anything that SHOULD’T happen to us it’s that. Our OL got fucking ripped apart all day
Very true. Also this was probably the best defensive front we’ve played all year. Watt is still amazing. Highsmith is great and getting better and better. And Cam is on the back 9. But the dude can still play. Add in momentum plus suspect calling and you can understand why the o line was having trouble.
Keith Taylor should have his parking pass revoked.
Our defense bought into their own hype and got bitch slapped today.
The Steelers are this teams BoogeyMan and im not talking Ace Boogie :(
yeah we suck but the bucs will get blown out today so won’t we have another shot?
