Weeden.....just...fine...
-
Not sure yet if weeden is our guy or not but i am 100% sure pat shurmur is not the right guy for the head coaching job..
Weeds looks a lot like DA at times and was largely ineffective against the stoolers #1 ranked defense however we have to expect that when even fans can accurately predict 80% of the time or better what play the shurmurnator is going to call next simply by observing which players they bring in and what formation they set up in..
Shurmur is like an amateur checker player playing in a pro chess match and its amazing that our offense does as well as it does under this idiot..

The Steelers have the best defense in the NFL.
We start four rookies on offense, three in skill positions, including QB.
I don't care if we caused 100 turnovers. The offense got the ball over the goal line twice and Phil booted two field goals and we won the damn game.
Just win the damn game.
Mission Accomplished.

They wouldn't screw it up...but they would complain about it afterwards.

Just to reiterate what has been said by some people here: Weeden has shown some rookie mistakes and made some bad passes, I won't deny that for a second. He does stare down receivers too much sometimes and has bad pocket presence. But guess what? Those are the two most common errors from a rookie QB and can be made better by good coaching.
If you take away the Eagles game (which is the worst coached game I've ever seen in my life), here's Weeden's stats.
12 TD's
9 Int's
58.1% completion
2,338 yards
That means he's on pace to have roughly 3,700 yards passing with 18-20 TD's, 15-16 Ints and 60% completion percentage. If you consider that Weeden is in IMO the worst offensively called team in the NFL, that leads me to have faith the ceiling is high with Weeden. Also, take into consideration here that at least 2 INT's I can think of were tipped passes that hit our guys in the hands.
This is the first time in a long while we've had a good offensive unit to back. Trich is clearly talented, Weeden is very promising and Gordon gets better every week it seems like.

OK let's not forget to point out how many close games we have been in with decent teams and them BARELY pulling out the victory against us, supposedly one of the worst teams in the NFL. But guess what?? The Browns are on the OTHER side this time, which is important for the young players to feel what it's like to struggle but hold on for the victory instead of the loss.
And seriously since when has a Browns/Steelers game not been an ugly TO infested mess of a game?
THIS TIME IT WAS US WITH THE W.....
-
No other team in the league has on offence with so many rookies in key positions.
Given that fact and that we have a HC who doesn't know his ass from his elbow, these guys have shown enough to give hope for the future, once the play calling improves under whoever the new guy is.
For the first time in a long time we reason to feel positive about the future as long as we can find a guy to lead them properly and let them open it up.
Add to that a top end LB and/or CB and we will be a team nobody wants to play next year...hopefully!

funny. never had one of those.
gunny, if you ever met me, i'd make sure it's be one of the best times ever.
wouldn't be in church though. i think lightning might come down if i ever crossed that threshold.
lighten up guys. we all want the same thing. we might just disagree on how to get it.

No the difference is Zombo you are happy with one win over the Steelers what im looking for is domanation agasnt are Rivals, and scoring 20 Points on 8 T.O.s isnt going to cut it...Believe me when i say when we play them again they will not turn the ball over that many times again....
Im glad we won the game but it means nothing if we cant constantly do it, remember when we beat them back in 09 how long did it take to beat them again...Its unacceptable and so is causing 8 turnovers and barely winning the game....Im not bitching im happy we won all im saying is we aint gonna have it that easy again.

its called managing the game and not having weeden make an errand throw against a good steeler D. When our D was playing lights out

I'm glad for the win, but what you saw was Shur-loss Turtle ball, and why he's going to get fired. No guts, no glory.
What does he do with 3 minutes left in the game calls 3 straight running plays making the Steelers burn TOs, instead of going for the end zone, or at least attempting a pass for a 1st down (which would have won the game). Punts giving the Steelers the ball back with over 2 minutes left in the game. Shur-loss would have been eating huge crow if that wussiness had backfired on him and Batch had driven the length of the field and won the game- with the Brown up huge in the turnover department. Classic "playing not to lose".

Well, you have to start with one win...and this, yes, was just one win, but it is a start.
As has been said all along, this team needs to learn to win. They lost so many close games to Philly, both B-more, Dallas, first Cincy, etc. etc.
To pull one out like this may just be the beginning of the learning process.
If they choke it again against the likes of the Raiders and Chiefs, then it will be a wasted lesson probably.
But let's hope not.
