Game Day Thread 2023 WEEK 14 OFFICIAL Thursday Night Football Game Thread - NE @ PIT

I hate how much our own fans are almost making me hate how good Zappes playing lol

It’s called a self inflicted wound.

Zappe keeps his feet moving, which plays a big role in that. Mac gets flat-footed and can't turn and survey the field as easy. That's definitely an asset Zappe has.

Even more surprising is Bailey couldn't throw the ball worth anything in the second half against the Giants. Since then, he's gotten it fixed and took a step forward. Mac talked a lot, but it was just a repeat each week. Bailey's quietly improved in each of the last three games.

It seems like he’s really getting a lot from the starter reps. If they keep starting him and giving him starter reps he may keep improving.

Good to see the offense do something that looks like professional football...
even without Rham, Bourne, Pop...

But, I'm holding out on my Zappe-craze, because it's ONE HALF of ONE GAME.
And I don't want to go on a win streak now and save BB's job, and run it back next year with Zappe and Co.

Tavai had an easy pick 6 there if he tried

 

[Foxypats]

Nice tackle by Tavai

Steelers are not scoring 11 points in second half

Zappe’s got more zip.

IMO He's got better confidence in the pocket, so he can step into his throws.

****ing passive defense

 

[Ras-IR Dowling]

I don’t think draft slots 8-10 away really makes that much if a difference. Picks never turn out to have been made in order if the best players.
The positive bump on the organization of finishing playing strong football as well as being able to evaluate players under reasonable circumstances is more important in my opinion.

That’s fair. At least with Zappe it looks like we will have a fair evaluation of the offense these last 5 games.

LOL, Myles Bryant with a nice play. Brace yourselves...something bad is coming....

 

[Since1960]

A terrible mistake!!

We’re winning… Nice to win but not getting a high pick at this point maybe not so nice…

 

[sb1]

Getting TFL’d by Myles Bryant…embarrassing lol

 

[FCB02062]

can't give this up...c'mon D

 

[FCB02062]

**** that was pathetic

 

[Foxypats]

Damn, how was not tackled ???

 

[203Pat]

Strong Bronx cheers from the Steeler crowd.

 

[FCB02062]

defense melting

 

[denverpatsfan]

Steelers are waking up.

 

[doesntmatter1]

Defense doesn't think it has to play.

 

[PWRxWLF]

Defense came out of halftime over pursuin and unable to tackle. They need to wrap it up!
