That's food for thought...

... unfortunately...

Thanks.... how's it compare with your pregame comment about it coming down to turnovers?

Glad you brought that up...Pitt won turnover battle.

All I can say is OBJ is completely useless to this team.. I hope Dorsey trades him to one of those sissy California teams in the off season...

I disagree Mayfield wants to win very badly but also likes to make big bucks making stupid commercials.

This team was 7-8-1 last year with some tough close games and fewer tools. He wants to win.

This. Baker spent the off-season making commercials and shotgunning beers at baseball games, while Lamar Jackson spent it practicing and honing his craft and you can see the results in the play of both players.

Just typing this makes me sick to my stomach, because I hate the Ravens more than I do the Steelers, but the proof is in the pudding on this one. Devotion to your craft is what separates great players from just good players.

True... except for the other 4 runs...

In our lone, 3rd-Qtr possession we ran the ball 5 times. The 6th came in our 1st possession of the 4th Qtr. After that the score and clock pretty much dictated that we pass.

Strange, I only see 2 rushing attempts according to ESPN’s play by play box scores.

Regardless if it was 2 or 6 rushing attempts, not much of a commitment to the run.

No tour. Its more fun to make up things so you can complain about how awful the coaching staff is and how even a high school jv coach could do better.

Yes, it’s a great strategy for the 5th best rushing team in the NFL to abandon the run...again.

You mean one of those sissy California teams that beat the Browns this season?

The fact that we have a loaded offense...and we went against a depleted horrible steeler squad and lost and looked like floundering children shows freddie is Not the coach for the browns.

Embarrassing imho...

Teams don't go 7-5 if they are horrible with our injuries/suspensions.

The Browns didnt walk all over anyone. Mason rudolph was horrendous. The game was one score for a while. Any of you thinking you just crushed it the first go are on the sauce.

"We finished it"

Lol, you so mad

Loaded means nothing without the line or QB.

Now forgive my memory, I'm still foggy from all the shots on Saturday. Did anyone see Wilks use any of our double A gap looks yesterday? Honestly can't recall.

They could’ve figured out a way to get Odell more then 3 catches for 29 yards. The offense is atrocious. I’m not sure how much I wanna blame the line and Baker. No rhyme or reason on screens, PA, 2 minute hurry up, etc.

The defense was going for the strip in a one possession game, giving up huge amounts of YAC. This team is poorly coached. Maybe that’s why Dorsey gave Kitchens the job. We’re still “1 year away”

So he was right when he said that the Giants sent him to Cleveland to die.

You mean the kind of looks you use when you are only facing a single backup in a good Oline and he is the center?

I don't either.

We went ball control prevent offense.
At one point we had 13 carries to start to the game and I believe Baker was 6/8. We were running into 8 man fronts with blitzing linebackers.

I don’t agree with the ball control keep away approach when Facing a rookie QB. If the Steelers get one or two more possessions that’s a couple more occasions for rookie mistakes.
the Steelers actually took more shots down the field with their best WR out!!!!

We took the wrong approach to the game and the defense put on a disgusting display. I’m not talking about the newbies just entering the game and signed off of practice squads I’m talking about Guys like Carrie, Greedy and Wilson.

That is true - except I figured the defense needed a lot of help with injuries/left home/suspensions at the time. I thought the ball control was to limit the weakened defense's exposure to pukesburg's offense as much as possible. I was disappointed though, at the throwing to OBJ again, while hopelessly double covered. It's just wasted downs unless OBJ still gets a bit of room to get to the ball.

I just notice that Ward gets picked on more than Greedy - that is bad. And sure enough, Ward gets a pass interference call on a long throw, right on cue. Didn't look back at the ball . Is it just me? I would think that it would help with getting interceptions? and avoid completions to make plays? lol Just seems like he needs a talking to. Could easily be just me. lol

I will say - giving them time to score again near halftime was bad. A little more intuitiveness, please.

I doubt it's diminishing skills. More like dimished coaching and playcalling. Others have pointed out, three straight passes after the int from the 30, resulting in going backwards.
