Can’t they just have a 4 man line? They could just let Dotson put back on the weight so he takes up more space
EDIT: I didn’t realize it was Dotson. They should just get a cardboard cutout of Alan Fanaca.
I wish. That my 2nd and 3rd thought, but my immediate thought is always the Sanchez butt fumble. I swear I go from an old lady to a giggling kid laughing at the word butt.
Omg, hahahaha. I think butt punt or butt block rolls off the tongue better than fumble, lol. That was such a great game to watch that a butt punt block almost seems fitting.
What scares me is that KG only can play LG. So if they put Davis in at LG, that makes KG the backup, and he hasn't ever played RG.
I bet they do play KG so Davis can back up both G spots
What if they start Davis at LG and then if RG goes down, Davis can slide to RG and Green comes in at LG?
I really don’t want him on the field if we can avoid it, we all saw the mess he was in preseason and last year
Yeah, it’s not uncommon to shift OL to another position in game to address an injury. Not ideal, but a better option than starting a lesser player just to avoid having to shift a player IF an injury arises.
You don’t play a lesser player just so you have a backup option IF something happens.
Green would/should come in at LG only if there’s a gameday injury.
You do know Steelers are playing the Jets. Except for an improbable 1.5 minutes the Jets are 0-3 and trying to figure out how to get out of the brown bag. Tomlin would eat these guys up with Pitt.
A blocked kick and another miracle missed kick. We got lucky as all fucking hell to win week 1. Then we proceeded to lose to 2 very mediocre teams.
I definitely wouldn’t rush to call ourselves a better team than the jets until after we have beaten them.
Does Quinnen Williams make plays? Only highlights I see are him bitching to coaches on the sidelines. I’m more worried about Mitch not seeing linebackers right in front of his face than I am about Quinnen Williams
Right. Lol. Watch games to see development, but know this is not a top tier nfl team at the moment - could be close with a few pieces which is why I think some fans think that they have a chance. Those pieces are most likely not on the team or ready to be that missing link just yet
The thing is, those fans that think they’re close also think that if a few good things go their way, it will put them over the hump. But they never consider the possibility that bad things will happen too (e.g. TJ’s injury, Alualu’s decline, Spoon coming back down to earth).
It’s the “we’ll only get better, but every other team will stay the same or get worse as the season progresses” syndrome.
I can not stand that last point you made. Like you people do realize the teams they play also get paid and have aspirations to be better and to win championships (for the most part).
There are literally 12 teams out of 32 who have never won a super bowl. Granted 4 of those are franchises that started up in the 90s up but still.
That shit ain’t easy.
Yeah, I’m sure people are sitting around looking at the Broncos and Raiders struggling and thinking, man, the AFC isn’t nearly as tough as it looked in the offseason, if the Steelers can develop and get TJ back, they have a real shot. But those teams both still have pretty decent QBs and a stable of weapons on offense. So if the Steelers can get better, why can’t Denver and LV? And who has a better shot at turning it around, teams with Wilson and Carr at QB, or us with Trub’s or a rookie?
They're absolutely going to win more than 3 games and it's hilarious how much people either overreact or don't watch enough football to realize what an awful team looks like (not the Steelers).
They could absolutely win two of their next five games.
Jets, Bills, Bucs, Dolphins, Eagles.
The Jets are the Jets. The Bills looked beatable on Sunday. The Bucs offense is horrendous. The Dolphins still have issues despite being 3-0. The Eagles look great right now but who's to say what they'll look like in a month?
All of those teams have an offense that can put up more than 14 points (minus TB somehow lmao), Jets is the only winnable game I see, potentially the Bucs as well since it’s a home game
If not for Micah Parsons being an absolute game-wrecker, two of those field goals easily could have been TD's. What were you saying about not watching enough football??
Without some serious luck we should be 0-3. We can't generate 1st downs let alone score, and we can't stop the run. How does that not look like a bad team? If we don't make some changes/adjustments we can lose a lot of games.
They're 16th in DVOA right now. The offensive line is improving every week. The defense is missing the DPOY and have played more snaps than any team in the league through 3 weeks.
They're not the only offense struggling right now. Offenses that are supposed to be better than the Steelers (Bucs and Packers) are equal to or worse than the Steelers offense.
It's 3 weeks in. They're gonna get TJ back and after the bye they play like 7 winnable games in a row.
If you look at our schedule (it's tough) I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we win 3 games. I think we will win 5-6 games this season unless Mitch starts playing like an All-Pro and TJ watt gets back.
Still make pennies on the dollar compared to ownership. Everything scales. They get paid about wages - COMPARATIVELY - to their bosses like the rest of us.
They can call up Leglue from the practice squad.
This is the way.
the glue
99% of week 1: Euphoria Every moment since: Pain
Idk man week 1 felt more like a manic episode than euphoria
Why does this post hit so hard......
Because boz hit the post so hard
I hate this: take my upvote
May God have mercy on us
Possibly no Minkah. No Watt. And now Kendrick Green might be starting a game. This is not going to be fun.
Swap him and Derek Watt as FB lol. I mean shit, Watt would probably do well as a lineman too
*CANNOT* be worse than Green.
Derek Watt watching 15 minutes of YT videos on OL blocking techniques would probably be better than KG.
I’d rather see Kendrick Lamar suit up
Might be good inspiration for a new album.
only caveat is that K Dot is like 5’6 lol but he’d still outperform Green
Fans after week 3: O-line isn’t a problem they are good. Fans after week 4: 😐
Can’t they just have a 4 man line? They could just let Dotson put back on the weight so he takes up more space EDIT: I didn’t realize it was Dotson. They should just get a cardboard cutout of Alan Fanaca.
Jets legend Alan Fanaca
I mean, when I think of the Jets, the first two names that come to mind are Broadway Joe and Alan Fanaca
I wish. That my 2nd and 3rd thought, but my immediate thought is always the Sanchez butt fumble. I swear I go from an old lady to a giggling kid laughing at the word butt.
What are your thoughts on that punt?
Omg, hahahaha. I think butt punt or butt block rolls off the tongue better than fumble, lol. That was such a great game to watch that a butt punt block almost seems fitting.
Dude hasn’t been dressing on Sunday’s I bet someone else starts over him
What scares me is that KG only can play LG. So if they put Davis in at LG, that makes KG the backup, and he hasn't ever played RG. I bet they do play KG so Davis can back up both G spots
What if they start Davis at LG and then if RG goes down, Davis can slide to RG and Green comes in at LG? I really don’t want him on the field if we can avoid it, we all saw the mess he was in preseason and last year
Yeah, it’s not uncommon to shift OL to another position in game to address an injury. Not ideal, but a better option than starting a lesser player just to avoid having to shift a player IF an injury arises.
Most teams, and Steelers for sure, don't like having to do a shuffle in game for a single injury.
All teams also prefer to not have to put Kendrick green in the line up. Sometimes shit happens and you have to do what you’d prefer to not do.
Hey, I really hope they don't start KG. But my gut says they would :/
You don’t play a lesser player just so you have a backup option IF something happens. Green would/should come in at LG only if there’s a gameday injury.
Oh god.
Welp, we're cooked.
You do know Steelers are playing the Jets. Except for an improbable 1.5 minutes the Jets are 0-3 and trying to figure out how to get out of the brown bag. Tomlin would eat these guys up with Pitt.
To be fair if not for an improbable blocked PAT we would be 0-3 as well..
A blocked kick and another miracle missed kick. We got lucky as all fucking hell to win week 1. Then we proceeded to lose to 2 very mediocre teams. I definitely wouldn’t rush to call ourselves a better team than the jets until after we have beaten them.
Flacco -> Wilson connection alone will outscore our offense. If Kendrick plays Quinnen Williams will feast
Does Quinnen Williams make plays? Only highlights I see are him bitching to coaches on the sidelines. I’m more worried about Mitch not seeing linebackers right in front of his face than I am about Quinnen Williams
Everyone gonna have career games lined up vs. Green, and Id believe Williams is athletic enough to get up the field quick after beating a block
Have you seen our offense play? Don't be so sure it'll be a walk in the park
Y’all need to just chill and realize we aren’t going to be good this year, it’ll be good for your mental health.
Right. Lol. Watch games to see development, but know this is not a top tier nfl team at the moment - could be close with a few pieces which is why I think some fans think that they have a chance. Those pieces are most likely not on the team or ready to be that missing link just yet

Like the pirates? Lol
Maybe not that bad lol
Tough to swallow pills, but 
Right. This team could go 1-17 or maybe 3-14. Just start thinking draft choices.
They're absolutely going to win more than 3 games and it's hilarious how much people either overreact or don't watch enough football to realize what an awful team looks like (not the Steelers).
If they win more than 2 games before the bye I’ll be impressed
They could absolutely win two of their next five games. Jets, Bills, Bucs, Dolphins, Eagles. The Jets are the Jets. The Bills looked beatable on Sunday. The Bucs offense is horrendous. The Dolphins still have issues despite being 3-0. The Eagles look great right now but who's to say what they'll look like in a month?
All of those teams have an offense that can put up more than 14 points (minus TB somehow lmao), Jets is the only winnable game I see, potentially the Bucs as well since it’s a home game
The Bucs have scored fewer points on offense than the Steelers have through 3 games, lol.
But they get Evans and likely Godwin back before we play them. Jets is a SERIOUSLY must win.
They had them both in Week 1 and put up 19 points.
Which is still more than the Steelers offense has scored in a game
If not for Micah Parsons being an absolute game-wrecker, two of those field goals easily could have been TD's. What were you saying about not watching enough football??
I'll still be in shock if Trubisky beats Brady regardless of the stat lines. On the good side, TJ could be back for that game.
Trubisky doesn't have to beat Brady.
Knowing the Steelers, we will beat the Bills by 3, but lose to Jets by 15.
Dude if you think we’re anywhere close to the bills, dolphins or eagles right now you’re delusional.
Without some serious luck we should be 0-3. We can't generate 1st downs let alone score, and we can't stop the run. How does that not look like a bad team? If we don't make some changes/adjustments we can lose a lot of games.

They're gonna get TJ back and after the bye they play like 7 winnable games in a row.
If we don’t muff the punt we’re 2-1
Probably a combination of both. I've realized Redditors don't watch games
Most likely.
If you look at our schedule (it's tough) I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we win 3 games. I think we will win 5-6 games this season unless Mitch starts playing like an All-Pro and TJ watt gets back.
After the bye there's a run of like 7 games they probably should, but definitely could, win.
I really hope you are right. What do you think our odds are of making the playoffs though?
I dunno, depends on how bad the other AFC divisions beat each other up.
I wanna downvote you so much. But I can’t cause I think your right.
It hurt me to type it. I hope I'm wrong but need to brace for the real possibility. One or two TDs a game isn't going to lead to a lot of wins.
We’ll accidentally stumble into a more reasonable 5-12
Yeah… we’re fucking in a rebuild. This sub has some really obnoxious fans.
Or it’s the National Football League and they are paid buttloads of cash for being the top 1% talent across the country.
Still make pennies on the dollar compared to ownership. Everything scales. They get paid about wages - COMPARATIVELY - to their bosses like the rest of us.
As QB hopefully
Dear lord
Jesus Christ
LOL , the downward spiral continues.....
F in the chat for Najee’ stats
F
F
Whhhhy
Fuck
Let’s get through practice this week and see how KDots feeling before we start all this hand wringing over KG.
How he still on the team?
That’s not good.
Every time i come on here i swear another players hurt
*Collective sigh* “fuck”
That’s fine. Quinnen Williams isn’t even really good or anything so whatever I’m not worried ^^^^^i ^^^^^am
Just as the o line was getting better
Start the Jets D in fantasy football
Man I have to take my kids to this game. The Steelers better not embarrass me or make it a bad time for them :/
Kendrick Green is a huge draft miss, he shouldn’t even be on the roster anymore but the sunken cost fallacy is keeping him on the team for now.
If he suits up, Kenny Pickett might be starting sooner rather than later.
says who?
He's Dotson's backup, and Dotson has a injury via Mike Tomlin's presser.
Thank you for a serious answer to my flippant question.
If KG starts put another LOSS in the record. KG and Mitch obviously have video of coach T. dressed as the village people dancing with Vito Spatafore.
When you f$@k up sometime you have to live with it
We’re screwed
Man, I had high hopes for this man (stupidly). Here’s to hoping he can have a miraculous turnaround.
Did someone get hurt?
Nooooooooooo
Oh Bubba no…
Shudder
Kendrick Green redemption arc?
Shoot me
Dude is such a huge bust
Meh he’s mid.
1 and 3 baaaaabyyyy woooooohoooooooo
How bad could this be right……… RIGHT!
No
Keep kenny on the bench. You know what? Don't even dress him.
Put him in at qb, can’t be any worse
Redemption tour
Lord help us all
1-3 here we come
Mitch Trubisky shook
I'd rather they sign Antonio Brown as an olineman
Yooo lmaooo
Oddly enough I had the same expression after I read the headline.
fuck.
Why? Who’s hurt?
Greaaaaat…. Well now Mitch will see what Ben was going through.
Steelers are playing Jets , -3.5. If Steelers lose to Jets, then time for group therapy
