QB 14-31 and two picks doesn't help, never seen him so inaccurate, missed so many wide open WRs. The key stat of the game is how many times did Jefferson touch the ball in the 2nd half
The ine int was tipped and went off Justins hands. The other one Osborne gave up on his route. I’d give the steelers the 14 off those picks but even still. Offense put up 36 points.
I think that we gamble when we get conservative with the ball and here is why. When we go run run pass. It takes the ball out of the QB’s hands. Then when we have to go back to it the rhythm is all off. The playcalling was good in the first half. Some of the best I have seen all year. There was even some creativity. And then we got boring again. Until we had to get something going. Cousins threw some ugly ass passes. But he nailed some too.
So that stop and go offense seems to take us out of games more than put us further ahead. And then the defense gets soft trying to milk the clock rather than stay aggressive.
We have lost more of these games thanwe have won and some of those losses the offense has been in position to win but a missed kick or a fumble has resulted in it not going our way. To me this has to come down to coaching. we keep doing the same things and seeing the same results.
No excuse for either pick, so sick of him getting a pass on everything he does. The pass to Jefferson was a bad pass, it was floated like he was doing all night, leaving JJ out to dry. With the lead they had, there is no way you make that throw to Osborne, you are not taking a chance on a throw unless your WR is open, just awful decisions all night and his passing were consistently way off. Pitt never would have had any time on the clock if he was milking the play clock down like he should have been in the 2nd half.
There's something admirable about your dogged determination to continually post absolutely moronic takes on football. Your ignorance is breathtaking.
LOL! Your man crush on me is embarrassing. I love how you feel the need to follow everyone of my posts an make a classless remark. Hilarious!!

Yep. The run was still working in the second half (though not as well), but I understand why the team would be hesitant to keep pounding Dalvin. More Mattison would’ve been nice I think but the passing game really let us down. Oh and the defense lol.
At this point even if the Vikings make the playoffs I still want to move on from Zim. Hopefully the Wilfs have already made up their minds (barring a SB appearance).

From this you derived a man crush?
Hokay.
If you think the pass to Jefferson had too much air under it, you should sue your optometrist.

If I was the Zygmunt.... Zim would be cleaning out his office as we speak.

If I was Zygmunt my first course of action would be to do a legal name change to Wolfgang Wilf. Zimmer would be my second course of action.

I'd fly up and help him pack.
Put in Guenther as interim HC. Let Dre call the D.
We almost lost because Cousins didn't play well all night. Explain away the interceptions if you want, but the end result is they gave Pittsburgh momentum in a game that was a blowout. 14/31 says it all... We won because of Dalvin and the running game.

The first ball was tipped and on the second Osborne stumbled and wasn't able to complete his route. Do you REALLY disagree with that?
Cousins didnt play well, but he did enough to help us win. I dont mind the agression actually, Ill say this, except for the last couple drives we had our foot on the gas coaching wise.
Zim is finally improving but I think its too late.
29-0 with two minutes left in the 3rd quarter, then the defense that was mugging Big Ben all night got consevative and didn't put pressure on him, and they nearly came back to beat us. A 29-0 lead with 17 minutes left should be safe.....but it nearly wasn't with our soft defense.
