Rico adds so much more than Warren🙄
Bedford

Rodgers body language shows me he moved them down field pretty well in 50secs
Zamo
2:33
Yup. They should go hurry up more often.

Metcalf having another million dollar performance, Rodgers throwing for fewer than 50 yards, and Freiemuth just discovered. This is a sorry performance by coaches and players.

Halftime grades:  Offense F- (Dowdle has handled the ball more than Warren); Defense: C (only gave up 1 TD & the one of the FGs was because of an offensive turnover); Special Teams: F (so many penalties);  Steelers need to get an offensive minded coach.  Analytics have the Bucs as a 80% favorite to win this game.

At least watching Red Zone I only see the Steelers game when Tampa has the ball!

I know this isn’t CBS’ feature game, but their camera work is definitely lower quality today

Warren has 5 carries and 1 target. That needs to be different in the second half
Bedford
2:33
Did some clown above ask why they are throwing to sidelines.....in 2min drill?!?!  My god I hate some of u
GM

Get pissed…Regroup and ram the ball down their throats..no more cute bs.

Not just the camera work but the announcers also Bernadette

Typical Steelers, giving you hope right before the half

Thanks for the chat Chris. As bad as we played on O, Rodgers showed his ability with that 2 minute drill. And Boz made a FG
Bedford
2:37
I wish I had a dollar for every 'rodgers is washed' post on here.

I hope they don't allow anyone from the offense to parktake f the halftime buffet today.  No food for you!!

As lines go Chris, when former Bucs coach John Mc Cay was asked about his team’s execution he said” I’m in favor of it”
Christopher Carter

Homer

Pretty strong sentiment there, Bedford.

For all of the mistakes, the Steelers are down 10 and get the second half kickoff. They are playing an u drafted rookie QB. One hopes a few adjustments can make this competitive.

I've never EVER seen a Tomlin team play this badly

just joining this wonderful chat so I presume someone or many of you already asked WHY RICO SAUVE is taking carries from Warren!!!!
Christopher Carter
2:41
Well, so far he has 29 yards on 5 carries to Warren's 25 yards on 5 carries. Seems like they might be a fine tandem if the just use them more.

HALFTIME: Buccaneers 13, #Steelers 3.

As always, some @PittsburghPG notes:

👍Pass rush is active. Nick Herbig, Jalen Ramsey and Yahya Black all with sacks against an offensive line that ranked 30th in offensive sack rate. That part of the game has worked.
👍Keeanu Benton has been strong. Broke up a pass, a TFL, and Bucky Irving has just 35 yards on 9 carries.
👍The 2-minute drill. First sign of life in the offense. Need to see if that can be replicated.
👎Aaron Rodgers and the passing attack has stunk. Was 7/11 for 35 yards before the 2-minute drill. Need some sort of momentum. Also, both running backs are averaging at least 5 yards per carry. Maybe, find a way to use them?
👎3rd down offensive woes continue. 1/6 in the first half. Mike McCarthy has to fix it. Pass protection hasn't been good either, 2 sacks allowed already.
👎Special teams has been terrible. Three penalties, a punt return that lost yardage and a missed field goal.

One good thing, the Steelers get the ball after the break.

Outside of political ads, what is the most annoying football commercial you can't get out of your head right now?

If Steelers score first in 2nd half we'll be fine... and win.

Yes and Warren is being told the lie of taking the load off him bs... its one cliche stale coaching move after another... period.
