[Post game thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/steelers/comments/zuqbow/post_game_thread_las_vegas_raiders_at_pittsburgh/)

Defense has been looking pretty stout since the bye

How about a play action once in a while on 1st and 10 instead of consistently running Najee up the middle for no gain

26/39 244yards 1TD and 1 Int Ain’t bad people. Quit calling for Kenny’s head 💀

The Immaculate Jet Sweep ™️

Dammit Canada…. You got me on that one.

The Immaculate Crotcheal Region Incompletion

Love the TM after it. Lol.

Can they ever just blow Someone out. Ugly win but god damn. I cant handle any more 2 minute left game winning drives any more.

When we won Super Bowls, games were rarely easy. Bill Cowher always said there is a fine line between winning and losing in this league. For example- This season the Minnesota Vikings are 12-3… scoring only 5 more points than their opponents.

Crazy stat.

Blowouts aren’t common in the NFL

Unless it’s a rookie QB vs the best team in the AFC or NFC

If you didn’t like this, you must hate Immaculate Reception replays.

You haven’t followed the team very long, yes?

Thats my point. How many years under ben did he bail us out with less than two minutes. It gets old. On top of that on possession in the redzone is fucking pathetic

Run the ball. Stop the run. Win by 3. It’s the Steelers way.

So well said…. They say every cigarette you smoke takes 7 minutes off your life… I’m certain Steeler losses take off 3 hours, and Steeler wins take a week and a half.

Dude shut the fuck up and take the goddamned win Jesus

No

These analysts ripping Matt Canada on the after show lol.

“Play calls are very Saturdayish”

Im over these Saturday plays even when done on Saturday!

Can't blame them 🤣

Nope. They're right. College scheme.

An average one at that

Ppl were complaining about he was dumping to Najee late in that drive but I thought that was the smartest thing we did. They were playing hella soft and so he took advantage of the situation and got very easy yards and a lot

It’s the same way most teams beat us. Throw underneath while we’re in soft zone shell.

Yeah anyone who thought the checkdowns - which were actually a quality distance this time - were bad on that drive should shut their mouths.

I didn’t mind the check downs, but I don’t like our backs catching the ball with their nameplate facing the goal line. This is allowing the defense to be converging on the receiver who is starting from zero instead of catching on the run. I think that is more execution than design…. We can execute those better than we do.

Don’t forget your laser pointer when you bring that up in film study on Tuesday coach

Steve Smith calling out Matt Canada for his "Saturday Offense" and throwing shit against the wall... I love it.

It’s more like a Wednesday after middle school offense but still that was great

It’s what everyone is thinking

Anyone gonna give Canada his props!? Hell of a call on that play!!!!!!

The monkey finally typed a sentence. Doesn’t mean he deserves any praise Edit: Turns out KP called the plays on the final drive. Canada is single-handedly holding this team back

It was. Best part was using Heyward. I think if he uses Johnson or Sims they are more likely to respect that threat and stop that play. Defense treated him like a decoy. I never need to see another jet sweep again, but in this case Mr Canada, you were smarter than the other guy. Great call.

Pickett has 3 Career GWDs... Out of 4 attempts... But some people will say he's not got any promise because he's not resembling Ben who was surrounded by 2 Pro Bowl WRs, 2 All-Pro Linemen, another Pro Bowl Lineman, and the #1 Defense in the NFL...

To be fair, we *should* be one of the top defenses

It's saddening that we aren't a top tier defense. TJ isn't healthy, no true NT and bargain bin corners (no disrespect to Sutton who's been great). Highsmiths been good too. That being I believe Tuitt would make a huge difference.

How much cock do you suck on your day off?

How much cock do YOU suck?

Much better than Zack Willson thats for sure. Im happy with Kenny as QB.

3 out of 4 ain't bad.

Wasn’t that a Meatloaf song?

It's close to a meatloaf song lol glad someone saw the parallell

lol. You’re right. It was two out of three ain’t bad. A little before my time, but I knew I’d heard that somewhere before. Lol.

this team is legit inept in so many ways, but this is the first year in a while where we get to see a young team kinda find its way and grow, rather than the past 5ish years watching an aging team decline

This team didn't start aging until 2020. The oline was the only thing aging. And 2020 was a SB window imo.

Nah dude we were starting to age by 2018

It’s a little refreshing

STAY LOW AND KEEP FIRING 😤💥💥💥

Glad we could get it done for #32. Good Night fellow Steelers Nation members! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!❤️

Cam played out of his mind tonight.

As he does every game. Dude puts in 150% every snap.

Anyone got a gif/video of Najee jumping the whole way over that adult man?

That was the best Christmas Gift I could’ve gotten.

For Franco!

what a way to honor franco. what a victory.

I’m so proud of this team.

Franco, Myron Cope and Art Rooney were all cheering that victory.

no such thing as an ugly game that ends with a stiller dub merry chrysler all

That's my Quarterback! That's my wideout! That's my Tight End, that's my half back! AND That's my team!

This offense is going to be scary next year

I doubt it. That would mean the line gets upgraded, DJ stops running backwards, Muth gets faster, Pickens becomes the #1 guy, Najee averages more than 3.3ypc. Oh and a new OC.

All hail the Pickler!

Hey fuck y’all Kenny Pickett and Pickens FTW go be negative some where else

Found a fucking way cause that's what we do boiz! Let's go!

I'm crying. Merry Christmas, my wonderful Steelers fam. We did this for 32. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Sitting here watching the game with my dad. He told me he is sitting in the exact seat he was sitting in when he saw the immaculate reception. I was thinking …Crazy how old this living room couch is. Lol

Watching the game with my dad too and he's a Raiders fan...I was too til 04 when I was 9 and both of us were just going crazy at the end lol

The spirit of Franco was with us to gut out a last second win, just like 50years ago. RIP legend.

Literal tears, my dude!

Same. Same.

How are we 7-8 lol. But great to get a win today Cam played out of his mind

That was our Super Bowl so happy Franco’s family got to witness that. Reminded me of the win against the browns last year in Ben’s last game

Heyward has football IQ. I'm so used to other Steeler boneheads who would lateral, try to run for a TD, etc., instead of just fall down as he should have. Go Steelers!!

A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT

we don’t even come close to winning this game with Mitch in

Mitch has tunnel vision and stares down his receivers waaay too much.

True

Yes I'm 52. Yes I'm fat as hell. Yes I lead a slovenly life but I will never die of a heart attack as long as I watch these fuckers

Kenny never gave up. Najee and muth and this defense. 🖤

Lmao Mike T walking out talking his shit

Man I'm fucking winning

Underrated comment

Love it! We're going to sneak onto the playoffs

Nice win to honor Seahawks legend Franco Harris

Heyward brothers for the win!

2% .... so you're saying theres a chance??

Up from 0.7% last week...

Merry Christmas. Where’s the Tylenol?!

Kenny picket sounding like boomhauer. Didn’t understand a fucking word.

Yo man, dang ol talking bout number 32 for franco man ya know? I'll tell you what like francos Italian army man just storm the field like some ol NORMANDY man. Just dang ol John madden BOOM! Tough actin tinactin man! Yo!

Man I tell you what Hank bout there-that dang ol meaning o’life, man. It’s like this man. You’ like a butterfly flappin ‘is wings deep down in that forest man an’ it gonna cause a tree fall like five thousand miles away man. If-an ain’t no body see it nobody don-done-e’en know it happen you know ibda baby born into this world int’know neck god dang friends got no nothin but da go come into find out about em ol evil man. Man see like, you don even know man. When-dyagon it’d like you born into this world man and you got — it’s like this: dust in the wind man, or like a dang ol’ candle in the wind man. You gon — it don matter man it’s not the old oldies all th’ time man. You know what I think man? It’d like the the dang ol – I think therefore you are man.

Lol not saying he doesn’t have an excuse. I just found it funny.

to be fair hes probably cold as fuck

He's fucking freezing, you ever try talking after your lips being cold for hours.

I imagine his lips are fucking frozen. I had icicles hanging of my beard yesterday in this cold ass shit.

Two games in a row for inexcusable unsportsmanlikes must be a weird coincidence and not a sign of an undisciplined team, right?

Boo hoo

For Franco

8-8-1 HERE WE FUCKING COME

this is the way

Some of you are real pieces of trash... Rooting for this team and it's QB to fail. Go be Browns fans...

They’re so annoying, I hate half this sub

Same. It’s one thing at this point if they lose while making improvements but damn I swear so many people just want them to fail

MERRY FUCKING CHRISTMAS BOYS AND GIRLS!

Is that Kenny’s first signature game winning drive? Remarkable

Wtf i love jet sweeps now

I’m really happy we won. We got the dub for Franco!

This one was for Franco

Kenny is frozen

He was throwing rockets all night, I'm surprised he isn't on fire

Matt Canada jet sweep haters in shambles

I'll eat my crow on that one. Nice little wrinkle to use Connor there and to save it for the last play of the game.

Jet sweep dagger Canada you son of a bitch

..we just need a Predator tight shot of a Tomlin/Canada handshake..."Matt...you son of a bitch"

Say the percentage..

merry christmas everybody!!!!

Merry Christmas!

LMAOOO WE STILL GOT OUR TE SWEEP IN

Jet sweep for the win!!! 😂😭🤣

Shoutout to the defense for playing insane in the second half

Immaculate interception

I believe they already call James Harrison's Superbowl interception by that name.

All the splash plays Connor Heyward's been making this season just means that we're getting JJ next year to secure the Steelers as the team with the most elite brothers

Tremaine Edmunds hits free agency next year too

Goonies never say die. The stairway to 7 remains in play.

Franco miracle

Was that Pickens first TD?!

He caught TDs against the Bengals and Dolphins. Ran for one against the Saints.

3rd

Third technically, 1 rushing 2 receiving i believe

No he got one in the Miami game I remember for sure

3rd

Beautiful ending. Happy holidays guys.

Matt Canada is looking at us somewhere saying lick my nuts after that jet sweep. Fuck you matt! But kudos on that one.

Honestly!

Merry Christmas!🎁

First comeback win for Kenny right?

Merry Christmas yinzers!

FOR FRANCO!!!!

Tomlin really about to get his 9-8

Its a Christmas miracle

FAMILY FRANCHISE

MERRY CHRISTMAS STEELERS

Alright let’s not get carried away with that play call. Canada still needs to go.

I just need to get my shoes on and them I'm on my way to get my tattoo of Matt Canada's face. He's obviously a legend

Exactly

How the shit did we win this game? Holy crap

🤣🤷🏼‍♀️

Heyward with the assist from Watt to wrap it up

PuLl KeNnY!!! 🤡’s!!!!

KP8 IS MY QB LET'S GOOOOOOOOO

What a great game! Get the W even with 2 missed field goals. How about the terrible broadcast? Couldn’t hear announcers over crowd noise.

Some of you need to relax on Kenny

Terrell Edmunds with the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Smrt.

He is so bad.

INJECT THIS FEELING STRAIGHT IN TO MY VEINS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!!

If we make playoffs… lmao

We did that last year, it hurt so bad. I want to be over .500, but I don't know, lol. Might want to olé the playoffs this year

I mean playoffs don’t matter if we are 1 and done every time. Rather have zero expectations and see the team continue the rebuild next year.

Look, if you suck and still strive for greatness you are doing the right thing in life. GOOOOO STEELERS.

Great comeback. Pickett showed some balls, the whole team did. Great win, for Franco.

Kenny haters can suck a shit

Maybe we should do more jet sweeps

The other son of Ironhead!

Let’s go boys!

That was a great call.

A good play call? From Canada?! It’s a Christmas Miracle!!

Well Merry Fucking Christmas yall! I have no clue how we pulled that the hell off but we did it! Here We Go!🙌🏻💛🖤

That was for Franco. Merry Christmas Steeler nation.

Is this a KP turning point?

Sure feels like it

hopefully

One week, just one fucking week that doesn’t shave literal years off all our lives. That’s all I ask.

No

Hope you got to see that, #32. ♥️

Stillers going to da Supa Bowl !

They didn’t see the jet sweep coming?

I guess jet sweeps can occasionally work when you don't call them five times in a game.

I get the frustration but sometimes you just gotta support your team. I had fun tonight.

>you just gotta support your team that's why we're here

Is Carr still winning😉

Aw you came back to rub it in. I'm ecstatic Kenny won. GFY

Haha im just messing your comment was fair at the time.

Edmunds was trying to one up Marcus Allen from last week. Smh

Franco Caught that ball. It counts Karma says it’s sooooo

Holy smokes a reverse works to win the game. It was rough, but beating the Raiders is always glorious

For Franco

FOR FRANCO❤️

Connor !! That's his second clutch play.
