Comments on: Steelers vs. Chiefs: The “Righting the Ship” Edition https://goingdeepsteelers.org/2016/10/03/steelers-vs-chiefs-the-righting-the-ship-edition/ An Introspective Steelers Site Mon, 18 Feb 2019 04:42:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: cold_old_steelers_fan https://goingdeepsteelers.org/2016/10/03/steelers-vs-chiefs-the-righting-the-ship-edition/#comment-4217 Mon, 03 Oct 2016 15:01:09 +0000 http://goingdeepsteelers.org/?p=11910#comment-4217 I was thrilled the o-line depth held up but unless some of the injured are able to come back next week, we are almost out of depth on the o-line.

The soft tackle was an oddity. The fact that it wasn’t flagged wasn’t. If the refs aren’t calling crown of the helmet hits (as were seen earlier this season), they are not likely to call the soft tackle after the whistle.

I felt a little sorry (just a little) for the Chiefs and their fans, who were so well-mannered on BTSC this week, but we had to do what we had to do.

Also, I think there were 3 or 4 penalties that should have been called on the punt return TD. The initial block after the catch was fine, but another player then came and blocked our guy in the back. Then there were another 2 or 3 blocks in the back that i saw. Glad at least 1 was called, but dang the refs missed a lot there.

Wasn’t happy with the non call of roughing the passer when they tackled Ben. Not to mention the lineman who finished the late tackle put all his weight on him.

The Chiefs have been a team that gives the Steelers issues in the past and the Steelers were pretty banged up (little did I know). It turns out Tomlin and his staff had the team more than ready for the game. By the end of the 1st quarter I was feeling sorry for Andy Reid and the Chiefs as they were paying the price for the previous week’s loss to the Eagles.

I have already deleted the game from my pvr so I can’t go back and review it but I think there was an uncalled clip on the called back punt return TD. It would have occurred before 84 for the Chiefs made his mistake.

I like how the Steelers battled through the injuries to provide this butt whipping on the Chiefs but I worry about the number of injuries. Most troubling is the foot injury to Gilbert. The O-line depth is being tested already. I don’t know how much more it can take.

Was really happy that Sammy Coates adjusted to, and caught the ball over his defender on the first bomb from Ben.

The Defense stepped it way up and just hounded the KC offense.

AB’s endzone dance was pretty tame compared to the twerking, but I agree, he needs to tone them down/come up with something more family friendly, which he should considering he made it so far on Dancing with the Stars.

Jesse James’ TD grab upon review at one point looked like a 1 hand/arm grab.

I think Wheaton really should have been called out and incomplete on that touchdown, but, as the announcers stated, the league is trying to get away from the microscoping of plays like that, which i agree with. The call would not have been overturned upon review if it was ruled incomplete either.

Looking forward to reading the next articles Mamma.

GO STEELERS!

They wanted to go for a 47-yard field goal, and it was pouring to beat the band. (I think the band was Styx last night) So Reid calls a time out to get his field goal team out there. And out trots holder Dustin Colquitt and their kicker, Cairo Santos. Cairo? At least he isn’t named Abu Simbel or Alexandria. Whatever.The last thing they did on the sideline was wipe off their hands and dry off the ball.

So what does Tomlin do? He calls another time out! To “ice” the kicker. Nuh-uh. To drown him.

They stand out there in the downpour until the refs signal ready for play. The snap is just a bit high, Colquitt juggles the ball ever so slightly. Santos’ timing is off. His kick is a bit to the right, and it clangs and splashes off the goal post and bounces off to the right. Then, to add insult and embarrassment to injury, little Heliopolos slips and falls on his butt during the follow-through.

It was at that moment the game turned into a laugher. Really. And we needed that.

Redemption Sunday, indeed, brethren and cistern. And the rain washed away the sins of the previous Sunday. Amen. And amen.
