This was also with Wilson being rusty and not playing the last five games of last year or the first 6 this year. It took him a bit to knock off some rust and I think going forward Russ will start hitting Pickens in stride and his completion percentage will jump way up!
Russell has seen everything. Justin has not. Justin can learn from him and possibly become a decent NFL quarterback For right now Russell probably can take us further.
The main difference is when Justin plays well Justin looks good. But when Russell plays well all the offensive players look good. Like you don't have nobody saying that wide receivers arent getting open now. And that was a better offense /defense than the raiders. The raiders didn't have nobody but a backup quarterback the Jets had Aaron Rodgers. Russell did that on a rusty game against a Hall of famer with davante Adams another Hall of famer. George Pickens went from getting the ball every other third down on trip route to bein the best catcher on the field because of the type of ball he was able to be thrown.
@@oshae248 the tight ends got the ball so put them in there too. The running backs weren't running the ball great early on. The defense wasn't playing great early on. And this is the point. The defense is the best in the NFL but if they're not playing great and we get behind can we depend on Justin to win the game. We saw multiple times we couldn't,but Russell used to doing this he's been doing this this whole career. One of the best 4th quarter quarterbacks of all time. And he's Rusty so he played better Rusty than your guy played at his best in his prime. Should I keep going you brought up five catches you forgot to bring up 111 yards the most he ever had this season
@ljj734 just sit here and lie. Justin has completed passes to 8 different players in the cowboys and Raiders games. He threw for 241 yards against the Chargers with no turnovers by the defense. Threw for 315 against the colts no turnovers by the defense. BYW George had 7 catches for 113 and dropped a wide open T.D in that game. You just a hater
PITTSBURGH STEELERS just Awesome Game Play and it's going to get better!!! Coach T and Coach A. Smith called a good game, QB1 Russ knows he can feed the Offense around him, he knows defenses so he knows when to throw...AWESOME in the pocket, pretty ball in the AIR! Our DEFENSE IS HAPPY & RESTED!!!!!!!!!
shoutout to the battered oline they played insanely well given the circumstances. one of the best Dlines in the league and only held them to 1 sack and ran 5 yards an average!
Having Russ in there solidifies the quality of play, especially in the 2nd half. There is nothing more comforting than a bet QB that knows how to close games. With JF, I always felt we were a fumble or a stagnated offensive away from losing the game.
I wasn’t in line with Russell Wilson until he came out the Tunnel with Styx Renegade song playing Then I was like you know what fuck the B.S I’m In I’m getting on board dammit!!!!
Ray didn't want coach Tomlin to start Russel Wilson... He's sitting there like he wasn't against it and now listen to him... Coach Tomlin true supporters keep receipts... #EATCROW
The highlight of the broadcast for me was at the end of the game when they interviewed Pat freiermuth on nbc.... not only did he let out a heavy metal Roar towards the fans yelling moooooth, but when the the analysts pointed out that he just got a big contract this year to be the team's #2 receiving threat, he said something along the lines of "no- they're paying me to be the number one receiving threat." Lol I'm not sure if that was a dig at George Pickens, but it's clear freiermouth wants to become a household name in the nfl.
Don't buy your playoff tickets after one win against a 2-4 team. A QB change to someone of Russell Wilson's caliber can give any team an emotional lift. So this seems a to have been a good call by Mike Tomlin. The question is can it last and be effective against the top tier teams. We will see.
No one’s buying a playoff ticket. But people are excited to see the passing game ignite. As far as top tier teams there really is only one team the Steelers probably fear and that’s the Chiefs. They really know how to win games. We always handle the Ravens. The Bills and Texans are good teams but the Steelers can play with them especially if Russ continues to play well.
@@austinstyles6393 I am not quite as optimistic. As I said we will see. The opposition will adjust to Russell Wilson and the next few games should be interesting.
@@NeverSurrender206 Dude Russ is a veteran, he’s not a rookie QB who is trying to figure it. 😂 He’s seen everything a defense can throw at a quarterback. The narrative that he was washed is bogus. He still has all the attributes that made him a successful QB. Reports from OTAs and Training camp were Russ looked very good. The calf injury delayed what was inevitable. This is RW’s team.
Ravens are allowing 24pts / game…their defense is trash…Steelers allowing 14pts/game…I’m guessing we’ll be just fine…oh yeah check Lamar’s record against the Steelers
That was a great win for the team. It was a good call for Mike.T How do you know or how do anybody know? The play calls are different for fields. Then Wilson.🤔 I still believe in Fields, he's the future. But it's a good problem to have. Russ did what he was supposed to do. He's a veteran quarterback. Go steelers.
Shout out to the 2024 special teams... fans, we have been clamoring to get rid of Danny Smith for years, but the previous two seasons, they had some big special teams plays, but overall were not great other than boswell.... now they are really looking dangerous this year. I feel like every week there's at least one punt from the other team where you hear the crowd go ooooooo becuz it almost got blocked... and it looked like getting the Chiefs punter in the off-season could be a really great under the radar move for us, and then he gets knocked out for the season, but now his replacement is doing just as well...... it's almost like how Boswell came here as the third kicker they tried that year and they weren't expecting much out of him and then here we are. Lol
Wasn't impressed with Russ' arm strength, Pickens bailed him out on 3 underthrown balls with excellent catches. Hopefully that's just rust and he can find a bit more on Monday.
Are they finally balanced? Nope. Still need a legit #2 WR. The team is the same as it was a week ago. Nothing has changed. The glaring hole at WR hasn't changed no matter who is throwing the ball. Also, I'm not impressed with one good half vs a really banged up 2-4 team that changed coaches in the middle of the season already.
Russ went 16 of 29 agaknst a terrible team and everyone acting like just won the afc championship.. has anyone looked at rest of schedule ? Need a whole lot of improvement. Here we go !
That’s why it was important to start Russ now. He’s still rusty. It was a good performance, considering he has barely practiced since OTAs. He had 3 bad drives early on but then he picked it up.
Bro, Russell Wilson had not played an NFL game in nearly a year! I dare you to step on a golf course after not playing a real course and play lights out! So, be realistic if you can be objective. Nobody thinks a player can play lights out on a brand new team without repetition! I hate when people get on here without being somewhat realistic in their discourse. He got us the W! That is what it is about! And, one thing Russell did was get out of plays when the defense had an advantage.
Russ played well in Denver last year. Sean Payton’s play calling sucked. Steelers are lucky to have Russ. JF doesn’t have this skill set. Those are facts!!
PLEASE stop acting that Aaron Rogers aint shot. Get off the sugar high. Pickens made great catches on poorly throw balls. Friermuth made the catch that Connor Heyward didn't in the Dallas game. This is identical to the Raiders game. A turnover at the end of the half flipped the game. 30 points against two 2-5 teams. Yes it may have looked prettier but look at the numbers 55% completion. The defense and the run game won the game.
Russ was in his first game back, and he put the ball in position to be caught. Those balls were dropped right in the bucket. If it were THAT easy to do, JF and the other Steelers qBs would have been doing it! Russ is a special QB, and you’re going to find out just how special this year! I notice Pickens doesn’t get separation. Not 2% of QBs can put the ball into position to be caught with guts hanging all over receivers, and Russ is one of those guys! Last night was no fluke! In basketball, great passers make great shooters. In football, great passers make great receivers. Of course receivers can make passers look good too, but you saw Russ put that ball into position to be caught over and over, and when he wasn’t doing that, he was dropping it straight in the bucket. He’s accuracy is uncanny If he didn’t have a long history of making average receivers look great, I would be with you, but I’ve watched Russ do this over and over again with guys who would otherwise have been no-names, and most of whom nobody can name right now. Other than DK, Tyler Lockett, Doug Baldwin, Golden Tate, Jermaine Kearse, Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy, and George Pickens, none of whom are HoF guys as we speak (DK is the only realistic candidate) name one of Russ’s receivers. Okay, Jimmy Graham is certainly a HoF TE, but Russ had him at the end of his career…ditto Greg Olson (TE) and WR Brandon Marshall. His chemistry with Josh Gordon was unreal, but he never got to use Josh Gordon - whom I would consider bringing in to the Steelers btw. Over and over, Russ has made huge plays with guys like Paul Richardson, David Moore, Luke Willson, Marvin Mims, and others. Russ turns average receivers into good ones and makes good ones look like Jerry Rice because he can deliver the rock!
Russ had a good game. I think if you were being honest he completed a number of under thrown passes bouncing off people came the persist. Will the next team be as dumb not to play a safety over top of Pickens. Be as ruthless about all the bad throws in dirt that you so critique fields for. The jets look just about as defeated a team as you could face. The last game the scored about the same in second half and the whole conversation was but what about first half. Saying all that good job Russ but I will be interested when all 22 comes out if you will be able to manage to critique the play in same way as you did Fields and simple say we are going to need to see more. On the positive either what better qb play then last year and go Steelers.
Can we please stop talking about a bust back up qb? Hes done nothing to get all this praise. He might be a good person but hes a crappy qb. No more ohio state or pitt qbs you guys are delusional and in your feelings about them. Pickett and justin both stink their the same guy.
How is he a bust when he won you ungrateful fans 4 games and almost came back with 2 but the defense couldnt hold up. Wilson got experience but fields isnt a bust. 😂😂
Beating a 2-4 record team with 5 defensive backs out or injured does not make him a star. There's a reason a team would throw away $70MM just to get him off the team. Hopefully we don't find out.
Lets be real here they sabotage fields with limiting pickens snap count .i beleive pittsburgh made the change because of the compensation they would pay had he stayed the starter. Thats the only reason why he benched. If they would have played pickens like they did last night we wouldnt have 2 losses if they would have open the playbook we wouldnt have 2 losses . If they opened the playbook russ would never see the field
Let's be Real he got traded for a sixth that's downright embarrassing. No other nfl team thought he was even worth a fifth. He's not a starting nfl qb backup maybe maybe. He will be out of the nfl in under five years. He's a bust a horrible draft pick by Chicago. Chicago replaced him with a rookie and he's better then justin. This delusion about fields being good is nuts.
If they could've opened the playback for Justin they would've. Did you hear Russ cadence, audibling, recognizing the blitzer. He's a complete qb. Justin isn't yet. It's that simple.
It's obvious you don't know football...I like Fields but he left plenty of plays on the field, there were times he should have thrown it but he ran...WR's and Tightends get frustrated with running QB's when they know they're wide open...Pickens had I'm always wide open (plus a few cuss words) written on his face 2 games ago and look what he did last night...go back and watch week 1-4 showing the whole field
Russ went 16 of 29 agaknst a terrible team and everyone acting like just won the afc championship.. has anyone looked at rest of schedule ? Need a whole lot of improvement. Here we go !
The threat of the deep ball helps the running game tremendously.
things are looking up for the Steelers after this win
This was also with Wilson being rusty and not playing the last five games of last year or the first 6 this year. It took him a bit to knock off some rust and I think going forward Russ will start hitting Pickens in stride and his completion percentage will jump way up!
I'll take a Rusty Wilson over the best version of Justin Fields!
Russell has seen everything. Justin has not. Justin can learn from him and possibly become a decent NFL quarterback For right now Russell probably can take us further.
You can’t “learn” to see the field. Unteachable skill Fields does not possess. That’s why he rides the pine.
Been saying that since we picked JF up! Hell I thought about that when we drafted Rudolph!
That's what the plan is. We saw the effects of watching from the sidelines (Rudolph)

I finally found my favourite pod on TH-cam. Enjoy listening every show from across the pond. Keep smashing it folks!
Coach made the right Call
I liked the flow of the offense once Wilson got his footing. Albeit a depleted Jets Secondary . It was a nice precursor to what can be with time .

Love this show! I can listen to it for an hour and still have no clue if yous are democrats or republicans!!! Keep that up guys!
You went from Stephon Marbury to Jason Kidd.
Brilliant analogy! Love it
Are we talking SB contender? I don’t think so, but I do think he makes them better.
CAPTAIN RUSS SB '24 '25
RINGS ALL AROUND
EVERYBODY GET A GRIP
TRUST TOMLIN
SUPPORT ALL STEELERS ALWAYS
I'm thinking 26.5 points a game!!!
For 1 its only one game 2 i think we still need another WR
Quality win against a good QB but some horrendous tackling on defense. Queen has look very underwhelming thus far.
JF only has 5 TDs. Where did 10 come from? Russ could’ve had 4 if the WR does get tangled up
5 rushing touchdowns and 5 passing
Wasn't impressed with Russ' arm strength, Pickens bailed him out on 3 underthrown balls with excellent catches. Hopefully that's just rust and he can find a bit more on Monday.
🥱
And you all wanted a quarterback who sucks like Justin fields 😂😂😂
Need more than one game to say anything is unlocked…
