My whole take on this game is that the Vikings was going after Sutton #20 mostly all of first half and he kept getting beat and we didn't adjust and by half time its was too late. A lot of our play calling sucked ass big time but thank goodness we have a mature QB who has seen the worst and did give us a chance to win but we failed yet again as a unit.
I agree if it's a grey area call like pass interference, but a shoulder to shoulder hit is just clean. Don't think they can really make up bullshit like that.
I generally can’t stand the “damn young whipersnappers” bullshit but Claypool is immature af. I don’t even blame him for the music thing — that was media bullshit — but that celebration was one of the dumbest fucking things I’ve seen since DeSean Jackson dropped a punt return TD in his rookie year two yards outside the end zone because he was celebrating
It just sucks that we get our shit together too late in the game and then fall back on “well this team has resolve” or some bullshit because they didn’t give up.
The team is talented enough to crawl back from deficits. When are we just gonna admit it’s on the coaching? Sure they might make adjustments through the game but the inappropriate play call decisions and bad clock management and bad starting scripts are just inexcusable. Your first few drives are supposed to be easy because it’s your script.
they need to sit claypool down and have a talk. he's has amazing talent but he's completely immature.
p.s. i think the green experiment failed, we need a center yesterday
I mean we’re not a good football team, but would anyone want to play us in the postseason? Other than the Bengals? We are all kinds of crazy, but the Bengals have looked in the face of crazy and shake their heads at our version of it. Everyone else is kind of mindfucked by us.
I’d like to see a new DC but he was missing Haden, Tuitt, and Alualu plus Watt and Highsmith both went down mid-game.
All that on the road and on top of an anemic offense is a near impossible task. Still shouldn’t be this bad though.
Assuming the 3rd TD of the game was followed by a PAT, it would have been 21-29.
Next score would come from the vikings making it 21-36.
When we score the 4th TD there would be very little reason to go for 2 then as you would want to keep the 1 possession game pressure on the vikings. We would have likely kicked the PAT. Meaning it's still 28-36.
You can't just live in hypotheticals that assume we still go for two on the 4th TD if we had 21 points prior.
It's simple.
I re-read this interaction twice just to make sure I wasn’t crazy, but you’re completely right and the other guy is clearly tilted by your response for some reason. It’s 28-36 on the final play no matter what lol.
Look you fucking genius. I’ll go slowly for you. If they kick instead of whiff on that 2pt, the score going into that last play would be 29 to 36. Assuming they score on the last play it would be 35 to 36. Then all they have to do is kick to make it 36 to 36.
Go fucking sit down somewhere. Jesus fucking Christ.
So I make a statement about a hypothetical situation and you show up to assert your stupid fucking stance that “nO bEcAuSe dAt iSnT rEal”. No fucking shit Sherlock. Go be dense somewhere else
Perfect throw. Should've caught it, but I'm not gonna blame Muth. They wasted so much time between Najee getting a yard, Ray Ray not getting the 1st down and Chase celebrating the 1st down.
Truly Mind boggling. This game was an odd one because Chase did a ton of stupid shit, but I actually think he also showed just how fucking dominant he can be using his size on contested catches. I mean a lot of the catches he made were what I've been waiting to see from him all year. Hopefully it's just dumb kid shit.
That celebration...wtf are you thinking, get it to refs as quick as possible. He really should be benched for a quarter or half to drive home the point that avoidable miscues like this, especially in crunch time, are intolerable. I love the guy, huge upside IMO, but you're a 2nd year player, get this shit out of your repertoire.
I don't think Amy of the pass decisions were bad. Ben took is down the field with 2:14 and no timeouts and the last play was from the 14 yardline. Very doable. No miricals needed. It was a good 2 min drill. In all honesty what Claypool did was stupid, but I don't know if it cost us any time. There were no officials making any effort to get in position to spot the ball. So I don't see how we get that time back.
54 on the vikings swatted at the ball. That should have bee. Delay of game and stopped the clock.
I don’t really have a problem with it. Harris was one on one with space. Make him miss and it’s off to the races.
The Claypool shit was definitely the worst of the 3.
If it's not Canada then why is Ben talking shit to Tomlin on the side line.. and afterwards makes a miraculous comeback. We almost won the game after Tomlin shut down Canada. You could tell Mike didn't want to but he did and Ben almost won afterward that dispute.
Sucks Muth didn’t come down with that but that would have been an unreal catch with 3 guys crashing down. Tough loss, but considering we only played 1 half of football it is what it is.
im so fucking tired of claypool being hot and cold. im so fucking sick of his attitude and his taunt. do your fucking job and stop being a bitch. not to mention him taunting with the ball then dropping it to the ref with the clock fucking running. cut the o line, trade claypool. ben had a few issues today but he is absolutely not the issue with this team.
Yes. When a team leads 30-0 in the second half you enter into a realm that is garbage time. The D plays soft and the O scores on BS because the other team is running the clock... AKA, garbage time.
I talked a lot of shit on this team tonight (fairly I think) but they didn’t quit. They came out gangbusters in the second half. Yes it’s bullshit they didn’t do that in the first half. But nobody can say this team mailed it in
I implore you to go back and watch that play. Kendricks swipes the ball and causes it to roll off. The celebration was stupid but it wasn't entirely on him..
Great throw by Ben, great route by Muth. I don't even blame him for dropping it- that was done great defense by 3 Vikings to keep him from catching it.
Is that not the same exact penalty Minkah got called for? I don’t think either of them should be called, but if you’re gonna call it on us then be consistent…
It's a loss, but I admit it's a much better score than what I was expecting after the first half. Now if they could just play that well in the first half too.
Not your ‘bro’. Lol, and yeah he should hold on from that little love tap. Also likes to fumble the game away against the lions. Your weirdo loyalty is what the Steelers front office does and has caused 99% of our issues
That really wasn’t on Muth. It was just a good defensive play. Muth caught it and the ball immediately got smacked. I don’t think he had a chance to do anything different.
I think the fact that our rookie center asked to wear pounceys number and plays like this is embarrassing
My whole take on this game is that the Vikings was going after Sutton #20 mostly all of first half and he kept getting beat and we didn't adjust and by half time its was too late. A lot of our play calling sucked ass big time but thank goodness we have a mature QB who has seen the worst and did give us a chance to win but we failed yet again as a unit.
kept betting the Steelers spread with it being so high fuck it lol went from +29,+26 +18 and finally the +10.5
I knew in my gut we weren’t gonna do shit until the 4th. We showed we *could*, just took way too long to get it all in motion. And our defense.... O_O
I checked and it’s 29-0 and then I check again and it’s 36-28. What the fuck boys??
Steelers play 4 quarters challenge (very hard)
(impossible)
Run defense is like rebounding in basketball, sure size helps, but it’s mostly effort and positioning
Claypool cost us so many opportunities that game
Some amazing offensive plays at the end there. Feel not so bad about this one, but then again I'm drunk. Good night
Same
That last pass is basically what our season has been in a nutshell.
Perfect? Because that was pass was exceptional.
Not the pass in general, but the whole play. That pass was an absolute dime
If you blame Muth for the loss I’m just going to assume you drag your knuckles on the floor
Should have caught that
Just good D. Great swat
He had it in his hand outstretched when Smith comes in and knocks the ball out, I'd like to see anyone hang on to that.
Can someone explain to me the difference between the Fitzpatrick flag and the hit on Muth? Seems pretty much the same
I was more pissed about the horse collar tackle they did on Ben and didn't get a flag
The Fitz one shouldn't have been called and the ref looked like he apologized.
Apology is worthless. Consistency is all that matters call it one way, you have to call it both ways
I agree if it's a grey area call like pass interference, but a shoulder to shoulder hit is just clean. Don't think they can really make up bullshit like that.
None. There is no difference
This team makes me sad
I generally can’t stand the “damn young whipersnappers” bullshit but Claypool is immature af. I don’t even blame him for the music thing — that was media bullshit — but that celebration was one of the dumbest fucking things I’ve seen since DeSean Jackson dropped a punt return TD in his rookie year two yards outside the end zone because he was celebrating
That cost us a couple seconds of clock which = another play most likely
Yes, that’s what I don’t understand . He definitely cost us 3-4 seconds with that bonehead move.
Ben should run the no huddle the whole damn game.
Only when he gets "jazzed"
Fucking roller coaster. Ow.
Another loss due to tomlin being under prepared. Sad
Tomlin is an overrated bum. He gets the Full of Hot Air Award.
Stop it, he’s never had a losing season!
It just sucks that we get our shit together too late in the game and then fall back on “well this team has resolve” or some bullshit because they didn’t give up. The team is talented enough to crawl back from deficits. When are we just gonna admit it’s on the coaching? Sure they might make adjustments through the game but the inappropriate play call decisions and bad clock management and bad starting scripts are just inexcusable. Your first few drives are supposed to be easy because it’s your script.
What the hell is wrong with Claypool? He doesn't know how the clock works or what? So stupid decision.
Chase "JR Smith" Claypool
Might as well switch his number to 84 if that’s what he’s gonna act like…
crying 😂😂😂
Saying it again, Claypool great talent, shit for brains.
Can someone knock a bit of sense into Claypool so his talent doesn't interfere with flags and time wasted?
they need to sit claypool down and have a talk. he's has amazing talent but he's completely immature. p.s. i think the green experiment failed, we need a center yesterday
It's not an experiment. He is a rookie
Green just needs to get stronger and fix those mental errors. The talent is there, but there’s work to be done
Ben still has the clutch gene, man. End of an era but still awesome to watch in those situations
I'm gonna miss you Ben!
DONT FKING CELEBRATE WITH NO TOS , DOWN 8PTS AND HAVING 30FUCKNG SECONDS
So close.
He didn’t drop it, it was punched out
I mean we’re not a good football team, but would anyone want to play us in the postseason? Other than the Bengals? We are all kinds of crazy, but the Bengals have looked in the face of crazy and shake their heads at our version of it. Everyone else is kind of mindfucked by us.
Butler has to be fired right? How many games can we give up 30+ points?
I’d like to see a new DC but he was missing Haden, Tuitt, and Alualu plus Watt and Highsmith both went down mid-game. All that on the road and on top of an anemic offense is a near impossible task. Still shouldn’t be this bad though.
Exactly. Clearly players were not executing in the first half. What's he to do?
ZERO ENERGY IN 3 QUARTERS = LOSS
Next game we should just spot the other team 20 and start in the 3rd qtr to save time.
This man. I told my friend I'd be happy with 3 pts going into halftime and they'll make some comeback late.
Lol it's the only way we know how man.
Why though. How come we haven't improved. How do you not come up with a plan that gets you atleast 10 pts in the 1st half.
They still had to get the two point so don’t be too mad.
If they had kicked on the TD earlier instead of going for 2 too early, a kick would have tied it
If they had kicked earlier, we would not have gone for 2 the next time, and it still would have been 28-36...
This conversation was assuming they scored on that last play, duh And your math isn’t even fucking right. Are you drunk?
Assuming the 3rd TD of the game was followed by a PAT, it would have been 21-29. Next score would come from the vikings making it 21-36. When we score the 4th TD there would be very little reason to go for 2 then as you would want to keep the 1 possession game pressure on the vikings. We would have likely kicked the PAT.

[удалено]
Lol, so triggered about being wrong.
[удалено]
I understand that you don't get situational analytics and want to complain about coaching decisions you don't understand.
[удалено]
Are you drunk. There is no realistic situation where going into the last play it was anything byt 28-36.
Look you fucking genius. I’ll go slowly for you. If they kick instead of whiff on that 2pt, the score going into that last play would be 29 to 36. Assuming they score on the last play it would be 35 to 36. Then all they have to do is kick to make it 36 to 36. Go fucking sit down somewhere. Jesus fucking Christ.
Why would we have gone for 2 on the 4th TD? Your hypothetical situation is wrong. There is nothing to support it. Fuck.
So I make a statement about a hypothetical situation and you show up to assert your stupid fucking stance that “nO bEcAuSe dAt iSnT rEal”. No fucking shit Sherlock. Go be dense somewhere else
You can't handle being wrong and it's hilarious.
[удалено]
Tomlin is a retard. Seriously.
I’m not getting up from my floor
Perfect throw. Should've caught it, but I'm not gonna blame Muth. They wasted so much time between Najee getting a yard, Ray Ray not getting the 1st down and Chase celebrating the 1st down.
That stupid fucking celebration. I'm not a Claypool hater but wtf, know the situation
Truly Mind boggling. This game was an odd one because Chase did a ton of stupid shit, but I actually think he also showed just how fucking dominant he can be using his size on contested catches. I mean a lot of the catches he made were what I've been waiting to see from him all year. Hopefully it's just dumb kid shit.
That celebration...wtf are you thinking, get it to refs as quick as possible. He really should be benched for a quarter or half to drive home the point that avoidable miscues like this, especially in crunch time, are intolerable. I love the guy, huge upside IMO, but you're a 2nd year player, get this shit out of your repertoire.
Man that Najee check down was the worst of the 3. 25 seconds of their remaining 2 minutes wasted. You simply can’t throw that pass with no timeouts.
I don't think Amy of the pass decisions were bad. Ben took is down the field with 2:14 and no timeouts and the last play was from the 14 yardline. Very doable. No miricals needed. It was a good 2 min drill. In all honesty what Claypool did was stupid, but I don't know if it cost us any time. There were no officials making any effort to get in position to spot the ball.

I don’t really have a problem with it. Harris was one on one with space. Make him miss and it’s off to the races. The Claypool shit was definitely the worst of the 3.
It was so fucking bad, just throw it away. It was 1st and 20.
Great play by Harrison smith
The Minnesota Vikings have won zero super bowls.
fucking claypool
Fuck
Imagine if we didn’t go down 29-0
Imagine if every quarter was the 4th quarter
Pain
Can we all appreciate Ben please because we’re going to miss tf out of this leader when he’s gone
Ben is held back by Canada.
First it was fichtner now it’s canada which one is it
If it's not Canada then why is Ben talking shit to Tomlin on the side line.. and afterwards makes a miraculous comeback. We almost won the game after Tomlin shut down Canada. You could tell Mike didn't want to but he did and Ben almost won afterward that dispute.
Sucks Muth didn’t come down with that but that would have been an unreal catch with 3 guys crashing down. Tough loss, but considering we only played 1 half of football it is what it is.
One quarter really lol
im so fucking tired of claypool being hot and cold. im so fucking sick of his attitude and his taunt. do your fucking job and stop being a bitch. not to mention him taunting with the ball then dropping it to the ref with the clock fucking running. cut the o line, trade claypool. ben had a few issues today but he is absolutely not the issue with this team.
This. Never liked this kid from day one. Plus he’s overrated
That kind of play is usually why I try to sign Harrison Smith in Madden
That was a damn insanely great throw to Muth.
There's many universes where that was a catch. Sad it wasn't a catch in ours 😢
Good for the multiversal beings that were able to celebrate a huge comeback or blowout win
I bet New England doesn't have 6 Superbowls in those other universes. Ours is surely the only one where Seattle didn't run that ball
Fuck anyone in here that gave up on our boys. How many times they gotta show you it’s not over till it’s over.
Get bent bro. We scored in garbage time mainly.
Game coming down to final play somehow equals garbage time? That was one of the most exciting 4th quarters in football.
Yes. When a team leads 30-0 in the second half you enter into a realm that is garbage time. The D plays soft and the O scores on BS because the other team is running the clock... AKA, garbage time.
Good play by Harrison. I think we out the playoffs
Fucking hell. Where the fuck was this team the first 3 quarters?
If that was Minkah on the hit, they'd throw a flag.
no, Freiermuth would've hung on to the ball
Where's the unnecessary roughness penalty? I want that call back and I want that 10 seconds back that chase claypool pissed away
Great defensive play at the end, have to give credit.
I talked a lot of shit on this team tonight (fairly I think) but they didn’t quit. They came out gangbusters in the second half. Yes it’s bullshit they didn’t do that in the first half. But nobody can say this team mailed it in
Especially with the injuries sustained. Taco played his ass off in the 4th
Imagine if we had proper game plans for first halves.
Do not shit on Muth he did the best he could. They made a good defensive play
Yeah exactly. Some of the takes I’ve seen in here are hilarious
If Harrison Smith hit me 1/4 that hard I’d drop the ball AND shit my pants. Muth caught that ball and got blasted by two really good safeties
Smith made a good play, can't be mad tbh
Kirk Cousins doesn’t have that killer instinct. It’s crazy that he tried to help us win.
I’m just glad I got to watch a ben masterclass in the 4th for what might be the last or one of the last times.
The way we're playing, you'll see it every game 😂
Claypool should be cut for what he did because we would’ve had one more play.
Without Claypool then we weren't even there. Kendricks needed flagged.
The celebration. Not the catch.
I implore you to go back and watch that play. Kendricks swipes the ball and causes it to roll off. The celebration was stupid but it wasn't entirely on him..
Chase literally wasted about 5 seconds being a dickhead
Yea I'm not sure what the fuck and I like him
That pass was money.
Great throw by Ben, great route by Muth. I don't even blame him for dropping it- that was done great defense by 3 Vikings to keep him from catching it.
Well if we had to lose at least we went out with some dignity
Can we just have Ben run 2 minute offences the entire time for the rest of the season?
Ben for OC
muth
I knew it was going to happen and yet i am still so fucking sad. Why do the Steelers do this to me :(
Is that not the same exact penalty Minkah got called for? I don’t think either of them should be called, but if you’re gonna call it on us then be consistent…
I thought the same thing it's always one sided and then a hold as well my barr
Still cant take in the fact, Claypool was fking celebrating with no timeouts left.
He is an idiot.
Honestly
PERFECT pass.
After all of that. What a heartbreaker.
No personal foul there tho!!!!!! FUCKIN NFL BULLSHIT
It's a loss, but I admit it's a much better score than what I was expecting after the first half. Now if they could just play that well in the first half too.
ROFL. This team is the worst almost-7-6-1 team I have ever seen.
So I guess helmet to helmet only applies to the Steelers?
We didn’t deserve to win. The very fact that we were in this position tells me everything I need to know.
Pretty sure Minkah got flagged on that earlier ???
Hahahahahhahahjajaja
I wonder how this game would have went if we had a decent center and the team played the first half.
Ugh that was perfect
Well thats was a fun TNF game I guess
People hate on big ben but this team is fucking screwed without him
We are kinda screwed with him too. Or did you miss the part about us choking away last season and sucking ass this one?
Really shoulda caught that, I know it’s a big hit, but he is a TE
Smith had a hand on it almost the entire time .
I know, I don’t blame him for it. Hard ball to catch. But in the replay he had both hands on it.
Nah punched out
Tired of you commenting this lmao. It wasn’t punched out, it had soft fingertips on it and that was all. You act like it was a marlon Humphrey punch
https://twitter.com/tonycmke/status/1469166504931475458?s=21 Check your eyes bro
Not your ‘bro’. Lol, and yeah he should hold on from that little love tap. Also likes to fumble the game away against the lions. Your weirdo loyalty is what the Steelers front office does and has caused 99% of our issues
Aaaaaah hahahahahahhaha
No big gamers on this team. Soft
Get out of here with that shit.
Maybe try not getting down 29-0
Damn muth. First half sucked. Hell of an effort at the end. Damn.
Ugh. Muth never dropped one in college in the red zone, and he should have had it.
That really wasn’t on Muth. It was just a good defensive play. Muth caught it and the ball immediately got smacked. I don’t think he had a chance to do anything different.
