🏈 Week 12 Official Game Thread 🏈 PIT @ CHI, Nov 23rd, 12PM CST, CBS, CHI -2.5

[Alaskan Grizzly]

I’ve noticed a trend of the offense begin to struggle after the “scripted plays” series.   Seen this before.

How is that a fumble?

[Stinger226]

They took it away after he was down.

 

[Bears4Ever_34]

How the hell was forward progress not called there?? 

I'm another touchdown away from turning this one off. Feels like the 7-6 will be here shortly.

You could see it squirt out when he stopped forward progression.  Then the defender had it laying on the ground.  

[Alaskan Grizzly]

“Paper tigers” rearing their ugly head.  

[adam]

If you noticed the game shift right after the officials get involved. Weak call on ST, then the Wright holding that led to the Caleb fumble TD. Now they don't call forward progress, then after Swift is stopped, they can rip the ball out? Come on man.

[Alaskan Grizzly]

Nashon Wright with a solid stop on a screen.  And the extra news of losses of Hyppolite and Stevenson.  

[adam]

Block in the back on the Gainwell run, no call. What is going on?

[Stinger226]

Would have bet my house Steelers would have converted that , wow.

[Stinger226]

I think if we draft 7' WRs, it will help our passing game.

Think the refs helped there by prematurely stopping forward progression.  As opposed to what may have happened earlier against Chicago.

Looks like they stopped the forward progress, so the last 1/2 yard fall to the ground was after the play was called dead.

Lol.

Caleb playing like a bust. Misses a wide open Burden on 1st down. He's freakin terrible.

[Alaskan Grizzly]

Strength and conditioning coaching staff needs an overhaul.  

[adam]

I am not liking these play calls, where are the quick slants, quick outs? All these long developing plays. 

[Alaskan Grizzly]

Agree Caleb was still inbounds even though he let up.

Yeah, long overdue, have never been good with soft tissue injuries, but this year it is next level bad.

He was baiting him into a penalty, he has to be careful there on his right side.

Pittsburgh is showing on offense how it’s done. 

Nice trick play call.  The wife loves those. 

[Alaskan Grizzly]

Nice offensive drive.  Little sloppy at times but in the end, good RZ result.  And used this year’s first round pick while doing it.  

[Stinger226]

As much as we have to win this game with offense, that 4th down stop by the D was huge.

[Pixote]

OK, Game reset. 

[Stinger226]

I have to give everyone credit, lots of mistakes but forget them for the next play and Caleb let that mistake turn into motivation.
