Hey guys, great show. I thought you were very fair. This week isn't the week for fire and brimstone. We can be negative for the 9 months after the season unless we pull off a crazy run (but obviously, some would be negative after 5 straight Super Bowls). Thought this was as good a breakdown I have heard about the team, honest and on point. Appreciate you guys, even when I don't agree, I respect your opinions. Novel idea, eh? LOL Here we go Steelers, Here we go!
I like that .. I don’t like our formations or play: I think we should put fields in in heavy wildcard a lot of quick plays no huddles a bunch of runn n gun
By far the best Steelers Show. They can win in Baltimore. Starting strong will go a long way to building confidence for the rest of the game. Lfg Steelers
Only #2 squads held Baltimore under 20 Points in the '24 season... Eagles kept BAL to #19pts. in early DEC.. & PIT did it two weeks earlier...#16 points(lowest of season) BOTH very impressive when noting that keeping Ravens under 30 has NOT happened (besides these #2 games)... Since September
I went to high school with Keeanu Benton in Janesville Wisconsin dude is going to be a huge playmaker for years to come hope the Steelers extend him when the time comes
Big fans guys, although I will say I think you two should talk more about how Russ is playing. Not expecting you two to put him down but he is having bad pocket vision, bad down the field vision. Watching the all 22 he isn’t seeing open guys like a vet should and not throwing the ball away under 2 minutes when he tried to run or whatever that was like come on.. he overthrows Pickens wide open that would have set up a nice field goal for Boz. Idk, I don’t think he’s worth an extension personally. Love listening regardless!
If the Steelers won it would change the perception of the Steelers season slightly they would need to win another non division game but man would it change the narrative around the Ravens. They cannot lose this.
Goodmorning Dale and Matt! I have a favor to ask, or maybe just an offseason project for you guys. I am an older guy and not particularly tech savvy. Could you guys do a full episode on what the different fantasy games are and how to pick who and when based on the type of fantasy games? I listen every day, and I enjoy the banter, but I don’t have a full understanding of why you pick whoever. I need a “FANTASY FOOTBALL GUIDE FOR DUMMIES “ from the guys I listen too. Thanks!
Matt, Dale, love the show!, if we focus only on O-Line performance, is there ANYTHING that could be done, short term, to help the team on Saturday?...scheme?, playcall?...both Russ and Najee are suffering because of the slump that the O-Line is going through...keep it up, guys!
Have you all noticed a reduction in the amount of play action being run in the last month? Felt like that was the it factor for the offense when Russ took over, but they’ve been getting away from it in recent games.
@@Dylangreen2122 Tomlin is the reason for it. He’s telling Art to keep running. He wants to keep clock running so defense doesn’t give up a lot of points. Only problem is they still give up points and we don’t score. I’d rather we just threw more. At least until we have a lead. Then slow it down.
@@Dylangreen2122 I love tomlin I’ve watched him since I was little and always defended him.. it’s tomlin and it’s clear as day this year no new coordinator will help tomlin from saying run the ball when we are getting 1 yard gains against a team we absolutely destroyed passing against.. horrible clock management is what lost us the last 4
This is Mike Tomlin's team. He said "We formulated a game plan we thought would work today." Running the ball was his game plan. This is the same team that is the third worst running team in total rushing EPA at -78.5. Yes, thats a minus. They have the seventh worst yards per carry at 4.1 Najee we all know isn't it. But, this is Mike Tomlin's team. And his game plan.
Pressure is on Baltimore? Really? Only a homer would say that trying to deflect how bad the Steelers are and lower expectations. Despite that Tomlin doesn’t win playoff games and the Ravens win last year, the owner said in regards to the longest playoff drought in the Super Bowl era “"Yeah, I think there's an urgency. I think everybody, from myself to Mike to guys that have been on the team for a while -- T.J. [Watt], Cam [Heyward], everybody -- we've had enough of this. It’s time to get some wins. It’s time to take these next steps. I think there's some urgency here for sure."
Lamar Jackson is 2-4 in his postseason career. And he's a two-time MVP. They're 10-point favorites. They're supposed to win. So, yes, the pressure is squarely on them more than the Steelers.
Matt - I suppose I’m a bad fan but I’m fully expecting the Steelers to be cleaning lockers in a few days. How can one not feel the way based on recent performance? I’m not asking you to talk me out of it, but I would very much like a group of shows in the offseason to go in-depth into where the problems are and how you would attack them. I know that’s what you do in prep for free agency and the draft, but I’m interested to learn more about the details of your evaluations. For instance, I see RW standing there for fee too long and frequently taking sacks that should be throwaways. Is that his fault or is the line not providing adequate coverage? Is the offensive line capable of getting where they need to be or do we just have five young average guys instead of five old or never-was average guys? Why had TJ Watt disappeared, o hear far roo often that he’s got a chimp across from him only To have him make little impact on the game. Is he not getting home because everyone in the league (except our guys) are throwing in 2.5 seconds or is our coverage bad enough that the opposing QB had no need to wait? I’m interested to know your thoughts on these things as well as how you would attack them and in what order. Thanks! You and Dale do a great job!
Dale: You are the best because your analyses of past performances of teams, coaches, players, etc. are objective (free from bias), fair. You give us an accurate picture of what has happened, of what is real! Thank you!!!!
Steelers put the best 3rd quarter defense in NFL on the field; Thru #17 games a grand total of 32 points. Extrapolate into a full season and it sums 128 points. TEN shut outs..... #10 FIVE games; ONLY a field goal One game allowing a TD & a #10 point 3rd quarter versus Redskins. 1st eight games of season were ZILCH's
We lost because of drops but can someone explain Arthur smiths run run pass every single drive every single time mentality it has to be stupider than the Canada offense or the same at least
The Steelers MUST fix the Offensive line or the losing will continue. Willson was rushed on every down and Sacked, he had to run for his life most of the game. And 14 has to go. He's a cry baby.
If the steelers do stop the ravens from scoring. If the defence have a fast start like you say. So what does that mean for the offence, What good is it if the offense can't do nothing with the ball. What good is it gettin stops when Arthur Smith don't know how to get into the enzone. ? ??
Tomlin needs to go if he allows the run run pass bs again it’s the reason we’ve lost these last 4 we’re essentially running clock out on ourselves.. it’s the reason Canada is fired and you think it’s a good idea to go back to that? Especially we won the first game with passing
This has become my favorite show but man you but when Fields made the mistakes and missed the receivers open and missed throws like Wilson has for a game let alone weeks man the conversation would and was different. And Fields did not put together a streak as bad as this. Wilson is supposed to not make the mistakes he is consistently and if he is you play the guy who has more upside. Though I think the sitting has been good for Fields now let’s see if it really has. Even if it is just start the first series with him and see if it can get us a score and catch them by surprise.
I love the show and appreciate your optimism, but I had to turn it off after the first ten minutes today. How can you open the show with talk of how bad the Bengals were after handing us our 4TH STRAIGHT LOSS! Are you kidding me? Stop trying to spoonfeed us candy when it's time to actual criticize the organization, coaches and players for what they've put on the field the last 4 games
Dale’s weekly playbook: Criticize, mock, underrate the opponent. Following Monday: declares Steelers would’ve won if… (lists hypotheticals). Which you can do for EVERY NFL game. Here’s today’s highlight: If Pickens catches that deep ball in the first half, the Steelers win. This guy is such a homer. Poor Matt has to bite his tongue constantly.
I can’t listen to this show any more. Dale is biased to a fault. I get that he works for the team, but it prevents him from seeing reality in front of him. If you want to listen to something actually decent, check out Steel Curtain Network with Jeff Hartman. Are they professionals with access to inside info? No. But they are diehard Steelers fans with very solid understanding of the league and what winning football looks like. They are not homers in any way and give you their honest opinions. Here, you’ve got Dale’s ridiculous hot takes, blatant bias against certain players, fantasy crap, and overall arrogance. I usually give Matt a pass because it’s not his show, but he’s gotta be a bit more disagreeable at times when Dale is particularly unhinged. Anyway, I’m out. Can’t handle the gaslighting any more.
@@koreycain7263 Not aware of that as I’m a newer listener, but if you listen to their postgame recap and subsequent shows compared to this, you’d think they are discussing different teams entirely. These two are not realistic.
Thank you thank you thank you for admitting that the Steelers coaches stink. By saying that the Steelers have better rosters with TJ Watt (no playoff wins), Cam, Minkah, etc yet aren't winning says it all. So thanks for admitting that it is this coaching staff, led my Mike Tomlin (has only won a playoff game in FOUR of 18 seasons), is letting this roster down. Thank you.
Love the show…with that being said, I’m so sick of the play by this team, Here we go again with make the playoffs but I don’t see any hope of this team winning 😩. I still see Sutton on the field. Pickins acting like AB. Wilson is not the answer…Keep Fields and get him some real training. The coaching staff needs a upgrade, and I’m about done with Tomlin too
So when the Steelers scored 41 against Cincy did Tomlin call that game too? Your logic is when we do score someone else is calling the plays and when they don’t score Tomlin calls the plays? There was a stretch not too long ago where this team was averaging 30 points a game over like 7 games. Who was calling the plays then?
@ I wasn't saying he calls plays but did you even pay attention to his press conference they wanted time of possession because they fear Burrow that's living in your fears. When you go three and out constantly and the Bengals still win the time of possession by 12 minutes...he so conservative he never attacks!
@@MARINE198476 so you’re saying the pick 6 that made the game 7-0 was why we scored 41 points? Because 7-0 was the game being “out of hand”? The pick six that happened on the first drive in the first quarter?
@ watch when we're behind in any game that's when we opened up. Yes the pick six was the reason because you have freaking Joe Burrow on the other side!
Ditka for Steelers head coach. If all else fails he could at least will us to win. And bring back Terry Bradshaw for quarterback although he may need a new uniform
I pray to God we lose the only way it will change I pray to God we don't win another game until 2026 hopefully that will get Mike Tomlin fired 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Love the show… probably my favorite Steelers show to listen to! Keep up the great work
Here We Go Steelers!
Cant wait for the Steelers VS Ravens.
Time to shock the NFL world
I actually think because of the familiarity with this team the Steelers have the best chance to beat the Ravens in the playoffs but after the Ravens the disappointment would begin again for the Steelers fans
@@jackcollin2476was that the plan all along? 🥸
Keep dreaming 😅
Ravens dominating the Squealers this Saturday🔥💜🖤🏈!!!
😂😂😂 yea its gonna be a shock alright 41 to 10 ravens steelers bounced in the first round
Hey guys, great show. I thought you were very fair. This week isn't the week for fire and brimstone. We can be negative for the 9 months after the season unless we pull off a crazy run (but obviously, some would be negative after 5 straight Super Bowls).
Thought this was as good a breakdown I have heard about the team, honest and on point. Appreciate you guys, even when I don't agree, I respect your opinions. Novel idea, eh? LOL
Here we go Steelers, Here we go!
Steelers only chance is for Tomlin to come up with his best gameplan and then to do the total opposite.
I like that .. I don’t like our formations or play: I think we should put fields in in heavy wildcard a lot of quick plays no huddles a bunch of runn n gun
That is a genius plan. The guy can’t coach anymore. Cheerlead…sure, have fun.
throw more and utilize Fields...really there only chance minus the turnovers which have proven elusive of late....
Dale is comedy he said “ please we didn’t lose the games “ the comments must be outrageous 😂
@@PaperPlaneWayne he can be so juvenile. He doesn’t understand that fans just want him to be unbiased and fair.
they lost the Bengal's game because of Tomlin's blunder and ⛏ens ineffectiveness
......defense actually played pretty well...holding Burrow under 20 pts
@@frankpienkosky5688 Correct...
Few mention it
Both Bengals tackles were hurt/banged up. No Chase Brown. When Tee Higgins played there was a huge difference. Higgins only played one half.
By far the best Steelers Show. They can win in Baltimore. Starting strong will go a long way to building confidence for the rest of the game. Lfg Steelers
Only #2 squads held Baltimore under 20 Points in the '24 season...
Eagles kept BAL to #19pts. in early DEC..
& PIT did it two weeks earlier...#16 points(lowest of season)
BOTH very impressive when noting that keeping Ravens under 30 has NOT happened (besides these #2 games)...

Didn't have Pickens for three of those games. Not a lot of options to strike fear into the defense for play-action to actually work.
@@dalelolley4100 seems like he's been absent lately, as well.....
Tomlin needs a creative, smart, and new offensive coordinator. It's not just play calling. The play designs are jr. high.
I’m pretty involved in my nephews highschool football team and they no joke run a more complex offense then us
@@Dylangreen2122 Tomlin is the reason for it. He’s telling Art to keep running. He wants to keep clock running so defense doesn’t give up a lot of points. Only problem is they still give up points and we don’t score. I’d rather we just threw more. At least until we have a lead. Then slow it down.

Part of being great is knowing when it’s time to walk away.
Why is it not uploaded to Spotify/Apple any more???
Also what’s wrong with the offense!!!
Even against KC it was still a one score game well into the third quarter. If they show up in the first quarter and play clean they can win this game
Actually they can, they’ve beat Lamar enough even in Bmore
have to score more points to beat anybody....
TENGO 6 AÑOS DICIENDO QUE MIKE TOMLIN ES EL CULPABLE DE LO QUE MAL QUE ESTAN LOS STEELERS.....OJO 6 AÑOS

Last time Burrow was kept to ONE TD & under 100 PR
