Week #4: Let's talk Steelers

[Dante84]

Sunday, October 2, 7:30 PM on NBC
Heinz Field, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Both teams are 2-1.

[notorious]

Walking into a buzzsaw, but you never know.

[Mr. Laz]

It's always about dealing with how physical the steelers are, first and foremost.


Step 2 is dealing with pressure on Ben and how hard he is to bring down. Since we don't get sacks tackling Ben isn't a major question.

[jjchieffan]

Doug Pederson gave us the blueprint to the Steelers. We can do this! Here's to 3-1!

[Rasputin]

Fuck the Steelers

Co-worker is a Steelers fan so fuck the Steelers.

We beat them last year and then went on a 10 game winning streak can't lose to them this year.

[bricks]

Chiefs don't win in Pittsburgh.

Last time they won there was in 1986! 30 ****ing years ago! That's a looooong time

[RealSNR]

Fuck Pittsburgh and all three of its flammable rivers

[Urc Burry]

Sucks that Le'Veon is making his debut. Best back in the league

Hoping that Jamaal makes his debut

[wasi]

The Chiefs have the tools to beat the Steelers. It's about taking away the running game and limiting Brown. Peters' Gaines Berry Parker matched up on Brown is a win. The Chiefs have to limit Bell early.. Because he is not in game shape and wont be a big factor in Q4.

The Steelers D isnt any better than Houston's or the Jets.

I like the Chiefs in this game

[RealSNR]

Royals don't win World Series.

Last time they won there was in 1985! 30 ****ing years ago! That's a looooong time
FYP.

[Nickhead]

im scared due to the beatdown the steelers got. aside from that, this should be evenly matched i say. 28-27 KC? ( i seen its been 30 years, but ima homer too :D )

[bricks]

FYP.

Haha

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Put Gaines on Brown with a safety over top the entire game. Let Peters take away the #2.

Ala the Bill Belichick approach.

Steelers D isn't in the same universe as Houston and the Jets.


Their D is quite mediocre.

No, it's not any better. It's worse.

Their offense is certainly better though.

[notorious]

The Chiefs are going to need to run the ball really well, control the clock, and have Colquitt do his thing.

I think the Chiefs need to sit back in coverage and try to get a rush going with 3-4 guys.

[Dante84]

Bell is back, too if I'm not mistaken.

[Buzz]

If we can control the ball and wear the defense out we have a good chance. Keep Big Ben off the field and a good showing on special teams, we got this. The problem is, we are not playing at home.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Anybody know the opening line?

EDIT: looks like +4 for us, about what I expected.

[Anyong Bluth]

Steelers got punched in the mouth today, and we're going to on SNF. It feels like a bad omen, but I hope I'm wrong.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Two sides to the coin, yeah they're coming off a loss, but at least now you see what caused them problems offensively AND defensively.

Yep. Pittsburgh, the NFL, the officiating, Jesus, God, and the rest of the world will be against the Chiefs.


I hope the Chiefs give everyone the finger and play with reckless abandon.

[MMXcalibur]

Fuck Pittsburgh

(the Steelers anyway)

[eDave]

Why? If they aren't good, they aren't good. Being on national TV scares me most. I'm not remembering many positive experiences on national TV.

[MMXcalibur]

Last good memory of a Chiefs game on national TV was the Monday night beatdown of New England.

I honestly cannot remember the last time we won a game on NBC's Sunday Night Football.

[Rasputin]

8 turnovers and yet we only scored 24 points with 6 coming from DJ int so although am stoked about the game I feel like we should have had a much bigger lead than that. I guess credit to the Jetsss defense but also we need get an offense going. Hopefully Charles will be back in charge next week and he stays healthy and we get the offense rolling.

[notorious]

The wildcard is Reid.


Sometimes, his team just comes out and dominates. This might be one of those games.

You never know when it's going to happen, either.

[Why Not?]

It's going to be a tough game. I don't like traveling to a pissed off team's house. But if the KC defense that showed up today, shows up, we have a shot.

Oh, and for the well intentioned folks with different ideas of how to stop Antonio Brown, well the things is, you don't really stop him as much as you kind of try to slow him down. Even on a shit day, when the Steelers looked as bad as I can remember them looking, he still had 12 for 140

[pugsnotdrugs19]

DJ and Eric Berry played at their All-Pro form today. Hopefully that continues because when they play well, it's very hard to throw over the middle.

[Rasputin]

Last year Chiefs v Steelers at Arrowhead it was half filled with Steeler dipshit fans and they were waving their terrible poop towel.

It was my first game taking my kids and I wanted a loud Arrowhead but the biggest roar came from the Steeler dipshit fans. Kinda pissed me off. Glad we beat them.

Fucking Steelers

[notorious]

The terrible doucherags.


Ugh.

I guess credit to the Jetsss defense but also we need get an offense going. Hopefully Charles will be back in charge next week and he stays healthy and we get the offense rolling.

I definitely remember thinking the same thing when the score was 17-3. It felt like they never needed to deviate from the gameplan of short passing. That's thanks to the D inlarge part as well but the offense owned possesion all first half.

I only remember 3 attempts down fielld against the Jets and 2 came on the same drive. I thought Revis could be beat deep now and the offense didnt really need to or want to it try.

I don't know they will do against Pittsburgh but I think the offense has to score more points than.today.

[thabear04]

Steelers linebacker Lawrence Timmons was taken to a local hospital for further evaluation on a shin injury suffered in the first half. Meanwhile, guard Ramon Foster did not return against the Eagles with a chest injury.

this worried me. shoulda scored 40+ points.

[NJChiefsFan]

I hope the Chiefs give everyone the finger and play with reckless abandon.

Unfortunately I expect a mentality like the NE playoff game. Conservative approach dipping our toes into the game. I hope that isn't the case. I hope we just come out swinging and play to win and not afraid to lose. Otherwise it's going to take high-level execution by the offense and Reid with decisions to win. Would rather just come out swinging then let a very good team at home give us a slow death.

[DaneMcCloud]

Awesome idea.

500+ posts claiming the Chiefs will get killed because Chiefs.

:facepalm:

[Ming the Merciless]

If we can just have one game this season

ONE FUCKING GAME


where the D and the O can play consistently for 60 minutes

we could easily win this fuckign thing...

But the odds of this happening seem to be statistically low since we have had about 10 quarters of shitty offense out of 12 and what....6 out of 12 bad quarters on Defense....

thats about a 10% chance to get on the same page seemingly....

but I still say it is happening this week.

Cheifs 35 STeelers 10 in a fucking ROUT

offense and defense beasting

Yes i am in homer mode..but no i have not drank even as much as one beer today

[Ming the Merciless]

yah thats what I am seeing as well

steelers 4 point favorites

tempting for me just to put money on this and take the 4 points...

I think were gonna win..

[Ming the Merciless]

pretty damn crazy

I dont think were gonna get away with it all season, do you?

I think were gonna need to start playing with more consistency (and I think we will)

[RippedmyFlesh]

You would have thought the jets were new england this week around here.
I take solace in knowing naysayers will be wrong most of the time.

[MMXcalibur]

I expected this game to be a loss from the time the schedule was released, so it's not going to terribly upset me if the Chiefs drop this one and go 2-2 into the bye.
This might be an unreasonable fear to have going into this thing, but I'm wary that the Steelers are going to be getting the better side of any officiating. Popular franchise and all....

If the Chiefs show up and lose a close one, I can live with that (officiating aside).
If they forget that their playing a game of football for 2 1/2 quarters, then I'll be a lot more pissed off.

[Nickhead]

Why? If they aren't good, they aren't good. Being on national TV scares me most. I'm not remembering many positive experiences on national TV.

because they are good, and will want revenge on a national stage :D

[beach tribe]

If the Steelers hadn't shat themselves today I would be picking us to win.

They are going to be breathing fire at home after that embarrassment .

If we don't come prepared, focused and fired up its gonna a be over early and ugly when it's said and done..

open the game with 30 straight running plays, and dont blitz once :D

Doug Pederson gave us the blueprint to the Steelers. We can do this! Here's to 3-1!

He scored td's. We won't have that advantage.

[JD10367]

Primetime game.
Home game.
Pitt just got assfucked by their cross-state rivals.
Prediction: assfucking for KC.

Steelers 31, Chiefs 16.

We will beat badly most likely. I doubt we get 8 turnovers to cover up Smith being a turd.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Pittsburgh is really banged up after yesterday on a lot of positions.

[TEX]

Need a pass rush. Need to score TD's instead of FG's.

They are as unpredictable as we are.

Hopefully Andy's lil' buddy will pass us a few notes this week...

[KINGPIN CHIEFS FAN]

Tyreek Hill will be scampering down the sideline late in the fourth quarter with the game winning touchdown and Mike Tomlin will run onto the field and trip him, no flag. Because Chiefs!

More tackles this week: Tomlin or Ford?...

[DJ's left nut]

House money.

Nobody expected the Chiefs to win this game on the road anyway. Go out there, let it all hang out and try to steal one.

Seems like a low pressure game to me.

[RunKC]

Yeah I don't feel good about this one. They just got curb stomped in Philly and we are coming off a great game.

I think the Steelers are going to come out with a lot to prove, plus they get Bell back.

Our non-existent pass rush worries me against good QB's.

[Deberg_1990]

Chiefs 13

It WAS 4. Then, shortly before preseason began, Goodell changed it to 3. :shrug:

You REALLY think the Chiefs "D" will hold the Steelers to just 10 pts at home?

More like because Prime Time TV.

[CupidStunt]

Pittsburgh is really banged up after yesterday on a lot of positions.

On the other hand they get a fresh Bell back ready to rape crappy defenses like ours, and given how bad their D played yesterday, one assumes they'll show up and play like men vs our dinkndunk boys.

[CupidStunt]

Gotta love these posts...

Nah man, blueprints of drafting legit QBs are sound. Chiefs need to follow this blueprint ASAP.

[Bowser]

When was the last time the Chiefs won in Pittsburgh, much less a prime time game on the road?

Certainly not. It actually bodes well that they have played so inconsistently and still managed to not dig themselves into a hole. I don't think the Steelers are going to gift us anything, and they'll have to get on the same page with one another if they want to see 3-1.

[Fire Me Boy!]

We're going to watch Pittsburgh. Go down to certain areas and watch and study and make sure other people don't come in and score five times. If we do that, we're not going to lose. The only way we can lose, in my opinion -- I really mean this, Pittsburgh -- is if cheating goes on. The only way they can beat us, in my opinion -- and I mean this 100% -- if in certain sections of the game, they cheat.

[ChiefsCountry]

Chiefs are 0-4 on NBC Sunday Night Football.

[Ming the Merciless]

Line opened at 4 point chiefs underdogs , yesterday

By this morning we are 6 point underdogs

Hmm mm.

[Discuss Thrower]

Chiefs are 0-4 on NBC Sunday Night Football.

Yet people find it easy to bitch then KC is "slighted" by the national media.

Regardless. Figured they'd be likely 2-1 going in to Pitt and going into the bye 2-2. Don't see any realistic scenario of getting a win without some very bad breaks sustained by the Steelers between now and next Sunday

[philfree]

The neighbors are Steelers fans. It'd by nice to pull out a win so I could plant my Chiefs flag in their front yard while they sleep.

[RINGLEADER]

Walking into a buzzsaw, but you never know.

Pretty much my feeling. This is one that just lines up perfectly for Pittsburgh:

- Sunday Night Football
- Coming off an embarrassing blowout loss to the cross-state rivals
- Getting Bell back for his first game of the season
- In their crib

KC can win this thing if things align for them, but really think the lack of pressure on Big Ben combined with Bryant is going to be a huge test for this team and one that I doubt they can overcome unless they play perfect football.

[Direckshun]

I think we have a decent shot if Smith can wake up and play that great ball control offense we're used to seeing.

If they play like they did in the preseason, with consistent 6-10 minute possessions, then that's clearly our best chance.

We're going to need to pretty much bench Zombo for this game and get Hali and Ford 75% of the snaps with Moses rotating in. They're our best edge defenders, and Bell loves running off the tackle.

The big issue, clearly, is Roethlesberger (sp?). He is tough to bring down, and can make great passes without having his feet set.

This probably goes without saying, but trust your DL to shut down the gut, and help on the edges. In the passing game, force Antonio Brown to be All World or force Big Ben to beat you with somebody else.

The problem is, of course, is that Antonio is, and Big Ben can. It'll be a tough game.

Ultimately, the best defense is a good offense, and if we can abuse that shitty Steelers D for long drives that end in points, that's clearly going to be our best chance in this game.

On defense they depend on the short zone.

You have someone that can test them deep and hurt them or you don't.

If you isolate their corners you can expose them.

[O.city]

The Steeler defense isn't what it once was, I'm not actually sure if its good or not. It would be advantageous if our two starting guards were to be healthy and the running game were to get going.

Hopefully Charles comes back this week.

[Lzen]

This coming from the idiot who predicted 1-4.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Whatever we do, Antonio Brown needs to have safety attention at all times. We cannot let him have 1 on 1's. It won't end well.

Defensively Pittsburgh is banged up after yesterday, and even if they weren't this feels like the kind of game where we should be able to do some things offensively. Hopefully the running game can get going, it will be interesting to see if Charles debuts.

History of KC-Pittsburgh match ups is at the link below. We've played them about even in KC, but have never won at Heinz Field.

This is the one game Andy needs to be screen happy. Steelers DB's are trash and haven't been able to defend those plays for a few years now.

Get Hill involved

Are you fucking retarded?

This isn't the old Steelers D, they rely on zone now and QB fuck-ups...

[DaneMcCloud]

I'm not concerned with the Steelers defense, nor am I concerned with the Chiefs defense.

The Chiefs offense must get on the same page. Morse made another mental mistake which resulted in a 10 yard holding penalty when Spencer Ware ran for a first down. That's two drive killers in consecutive weeks. Schwartz has been a disappointment as well. Sure, he's not as bad a Jah Reid or Donald Stephenson but for being tagged "The best right tackle in football" and signing a $30+ million dollar deal, he just hasn't held up to scrutiny.

As I've said several times, Jeremy Maclin's been unfocused and it's understandable considering he recently lost his best friend. But he needs to re-focus this week because the Chiefs offense will likely stumble without a big game from him, the TE's and Ware/West. Conley, Travis and Harris continue to ascend and Hill is on the verge of a breakout game. But J Mac's the focal point and without a good to great game from him, it's going to be difficult to win.

It would be nice to see LDT out there Sunday night but Jordan Devey wasn't as awful as expected and from what I recall, he was better than Jah Reid. The offense seemed more dynamic (at least in the 2nd half of the Chargers game) with Eingher and LDT but Fulton's held his own.

The bottom line for me is that the offense will need to be efficient and execute well if they're going to win in Pittsburgh, that is, if the Steelers from Week 1 & 2 show up, not the Steelers from Week 3.

[DaWolf]

It looked to me like the Jets keyed on him in the 2nd half. They were crushing that side of the line, and it was especially apparent with Devey against Wilkerson and Devey didn't lay a finger on him. The 4th down stop was behind Devey as well. I think the Jets figured that boy out.

Agreed on other offensive points, though. Need Maclin to get his head right.

[Rausch]

Bell has been my FUCKING FA-V0R-ITE HB since he was drafted.

He is a beast and will be a beast. (if he lays off the pipe.)

As a KC fan and PITT fan there isn't a fucking thing different in how Rat-Salad calls plays now and how he called them at KC.

"Marsellus: The night of the fight, you may feel a slight sting. That's pride fucking with you. Fuck pride. Pride only hurts, it never helps. "

I didn't pay that much attention to him, so you're probably right. I was surprised he got the start but thought that since he was once with the Patriots, he was more familiar with the Jets than any of the other backups.

It certainly doesn't help that Schwartz has been a mere mortal and not the advertised stud.

Agreed on other offensive points, though. Need Maclin to get his head right.

Hopefully, he can put it together this week. They need him.

[MMXcalibur]

I anticipate that at some point during the broadcast, Todd Haley will be shown on camera. At that point, he will slowly turn his eyesight directly into the camera and flip the bird for a solid 15-20 seconds.

George will immediately begin to feel uncomfortable.

[DaneMcCloud]

I'm very worried about the defense. The pass rush looks concerning.

If the Chiefs continue to collapse the pocket and pressure the opposing QB while putting the CB's in position to make plays, they'll be fine.

On the other hand, the Steelers have 1 sack in 3 games, so they're struggling mightily on defense.

Meanwhile, the Eagles sacked Rothlisberger 4 times.

Conley, Travis and Harris continue to ascend and Hill is on the verge of a breakout game. But J Mac's the focal point and without a good to great game from him, it's going to be difficult to win.

It would be nice to see LDT out there Sunday night but Jordan Devey wasn't as awful as expected and from what I recall, he was better than Jah Reid. The offense seemed more dynamic (at least in the 2nd half of the Chargers game) with Eingher and LDT but Fulton's held his own.

The bottom line for me is that the offense will need to be efficient and execute well if they're going to win in Pittsburgh, that is, if the Steelers from Week 1 & 2 show up, not the Steelers from Week 3.

I disagree about Devey. I don't know how many times I saw him miss blocks yesterday, especially in the running game, but it was a lot.

[DaneMcCloud]

I disagree about Devey. I don't know how many times I saw him miss blocks yesterday, especially in the running game, but it was a lot.

Well, what I said was that he wasn't as awful as expected but Schwartz isn't doing him any favors, either.

He was better than Jah Reid against the Texans, IMO, but that isn't saying much.

Admittedly, I didn't notice Jah Reid against the Texans but I can't say that I was really watching the offensive line. The difference being that I attended the Jets game and therefore probably noticed more than I would have if I had been at home watching on TV.

/shrug

Reid and Schwartz were awful against JJ Watt and while JJ Watt can make anyone look silly, he did it repeatedly against them.

I still find it hard to believe that Pughsley isn't on the 53 and an option at guard, as he's played well in spot duty and preseason.

But much like many of Reid's personnel decisions (Wilson over DAT is another), I just have to say "WTF?".

Bell fucks up the whole equation.

I think we can deal with Ben and Brown. I'll be called out as a flaming retard for that but I'm confident we have answers there.

We can't stop Bell.

[RunKC]

Are you ****ing retarded?

This isn't the old Steelers D, they rely on zone now and QB ****-ups...

They also still suck at defending screens. Andy can do his screen bullshit this week for all I care. Steelers are that bad at defending them.

Antonio brown could go for 150 for all I care. Just shut down Bell/ Deangelo and protect the ball. They're going into this game with a broken spirit

[staylor26]

According to PFF, Nelson has been on our best defensive performers every week so far. I agree regardless (I myself don't put much into PFF, but it helps for conversation like this).

I think LDT plays, but we'll see.

[Titty Meat]

can we get 16 ints?

ROFL. I'm puzzled why the offense has been SO bad. Yes the line hasn't been great but it's not as bad as 2014.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

I think this is a mistake and seems a bit of a contradiction because they like to run that option play which exposes him to big hits.

[DaneMcCloud]

ROFL. I'm puzzled why the offense has been SO bad. Yes the line hasn't been great but it's not as bad as 2014.

The offense has been "bad" for several reasons, most of which is on the Chiefs for shooting themselves in the foot in the Red Zone, mental mistakes by Morse combined with facing two pretty good defensive front 7's.

Now, if they struggle against an average Steelers defense or a poor Oakland defense (not to mention Jacksonville, Indy and Tampa), that's on Reid.

[Dante84]

That looks familiar for a reason.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

I think this is a mistake and seems a bit of a contradiction because they like to run that option play which exposes him to big hits.

Yes but the Option is the original call going into the huddle. What I meant to say is they are forcing Smith to stay in the pocket and continually go thru reads rather than go for the rush yards. Maybe they'll hold on to this tactic until it gets later in the year and will catch the Broncos off guard. Who knows...

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

Is that an opinion, observation, or something you read?

Just curious how much stock to put into that.

Observation. 30 yards per game last season rushing.
If PFF is correct, he made zero attempts yesterday to cross the LOS on all designed pass plays.

The guy averages >5 yards/carry which is a valuable ability

[Easy 6]

Put Gaines on Brown with a safety over top the entire game. Let Peters take away the #2.

Ala the Bill Belichick approach.

I certainly cant think of a better idea

Do that, and go all out on Bell... take those two out and make someone else beat us

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

I certainly cant think of a better idea

I think we need to sell out to stop the run. If we stop them from earning a 2nd and short on the ground then it gives us more leeway in using different packages in ensuing plays if we keep it 6+ yards deep for the first. March-Lillard better be on his A game!

Valuable opportunity for Peters to add to his collection of INTs...

[Chiefshrink]

Schwartz has been a disappointment as well. Sure, he's not as bad a Jah Reid or Donald Stephenson but for being tagged "The best right tackle in football" and signing a $30+ million dollar deal, he just hasn't held up to scrutiny.


Agreed. Do we know how many other teams were courting him until we signed him?

[Chiefshrink]

Put Gaines on Brown with a safety over top the entire game. Let Peters take away the #2.

Great idea but we need a decent pass rush for this to be effective. So far we haven't shown much but did show decent pressure(without sacks) yesterday for the first time. We were fortunate we saw bad Fitz yesterday.

I'm loathe to agree with you, but yes... gotta sell out on the run, letting them work us over with ground and pound would be death

And so would letting Brown average 20 ypc, we need to bracket that little sucker for 60 straight minutes

I've watched that dude be schemed in so many different ways yet he always manages to get his yards. I think we allowed 120 last year to him. He burned the Pats and Broncos too.

I just feel the thing we have most control over is sending pressure on Roeth and/or limiting Bell. Brown is just a damn magician out there.

However, Vegas doesn’t see it that way. The line for Sunday’s game is at 5.5 points, favoring Pittsburgh to drop Kansas City. Now, the game is in Heinz Field, which means the Steelers automatically get three points. Basically, Vegas is saying that the Chiefs would be a 2.5-point dog if the game was at a neutral sight, and that they would be a 1-point favorite in Arrowhead.

I'm going to say something that won't be liked on here but I think the displeasure with Reids play calling is stupid on here. Yes at times they are questionable but the guy has only had 2 losing seasons and it's not like his teams have won 10-9 his whole career.

[NJChiefsFan]

House money.

Nobody expected the Chiefs to win this game on the road anyway. Go out there, let it all hang out and try to steal one.

Seems like a low pressure game to me.

I would love to see that Sunday, and live with the result. I wish we had done that in the NE playoff game. Hopefully we do it different this time.

[BossChief]

For KC to win, they need to avoid drive stalling penalties and Jeremy Maclin needs to finish plays and stop dropping the damn ball. These holding penalties that call back big plays and force them to start drives with 1st and 20 need to stop.

Alex didn't have a great game against NY, but he would have been perceived a lot better if Maclin catches those 2 passes.

On defense, they need to do to Bell what they've done each time they've faced him, keep him contained and be very physical with him. The guy is super overrated. Bracket Brown to limit his production while forcing a turnover or 2.

Do those things and get Hill more involved in offense and I see KC winning this one.

If 2 things change, Alex is a hero. He had no control of either problem.

1.Maclin catches a ball that hits his hands

2.Ware doesn't fumble going into the endzone

[In58men]

Offense has to put points some on the board. One offensive touchdown like we did with the Jets will not work with the Steelers.

Fitz <<<<< Ben

[O.city]

The offense needs to get off its ass and be more explosive and the defense needs to keep kicking ass.

All that equals a win, 1 million to one.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Really hard to see reasons why we win this game. There's just too much going against us.

If they pull it off, it'll be one of the best wins in the Reid era, easily.

[NJChiefsFan]

Could have been three very easily if Andy trusted Ware to run on 1st and goal from the 3, and if Ware holds onto the ball diving at the pylon. 10 points becomes 21.

Steelers have scored 24 or more points in 9 of their last 10 regular season games.

I think what happened last week was a complete anomaly. It's going to be tough to keep them down.

[bricks]

I think the key for the Chiefs is to win time of possession.

This means long sustained drives. Tire out the defense. They have to execute, especially on 3rd downs. No dropped passes, penalties that stall drives, zero turnovers and score touchdowns. If you keep Big Ben and co off the field as much as possible, they won't score as many points and Chiefs have a great chance to win.

[DaneMcCloud]

Steelers have scored 24 or more points in 9 of their last 10 regular season games.

And the Jets were a "high scoring offense", too.

It's all about matchups. The young secondary guys are ascending, the D-line has played two straight weeks, DJ was out of his mind on Sunday and March improved.

I'm more concerned about offensive consistency, cutting down on mental mistakes and Jeremy Maclin's focus than I am the defense.

We need to commit to closing up Bell's lanes. Can't let him accelerate.

Tomlin: Expect 'a lot' of Le'Veon Bell Sunday vs. Chiefs

By Kevin Patra
Around the NFL writer
Published: Sept. 27, 2016 at 01:04 p.m. Updated: Sept. 27, 2016 at 01:19 p.m.
Le'Veon Bell won't be eased into the rotation after returning from suspension.

Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said the running back would return to his workhorse role after missing the first three games of the 2016 season.

"His level of conditioning is not a concern to us," Tomlin said Tuesday. "He's a guy that's highly conditioned over a 12-month calendar. We've seen him every day, he's been a part of this, he's been in the building, he's up to speed on what we're doing from a schematic standpoint, really in tune here. We'll see how sharp he is physically once we get him out on the practice field and kind of go from there but rest assured, you're going to see Le'Veon Bell and probably a lot of him on Sunday."


There was some thought that the Steelers would employ a shared backfield after DeAngelo Williams led the NFL in rushing through the first two games of the season. Despite Williams looking spry, Bell will return to his normal workload.

Williams insisted last week he was just an insurance policy until Bell returned.

Pittsburgh is coming off a 34-3 blowout loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3. Ben Roethlisberger couldn't get on track and Williams was stymied early. Once the Steelers were down big, they abandoned the running game. Williams earned just 21 yards on eight carries after gobbling up 237 yards in two games.

"We took a significant step backwards with how we performed in that football game," Tomlin said, via NFL Network's Aditi Kinkhabwala.

The Steelers needed Bell's dynamic ability in both the run and pass game. Sunday, the absences of Bell and receiver Martavis Bryant (yearlong suspension) finally showed on the field as Big Ben couldn't move the ball without his playmakers. Slot receiver Eli Rogers (turf toe) also went down with injury, escalating the offensive problems.

Bell's return against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday is a much-needed boost for an offense that missed its motor.

[DaneMcCloud]

The Steelers beat the 1-2 Redskins and the 1-2 Bengals, while losing to the 3-0 Eagles.

DeAngelo Williams had 21 yards rushing and Brown had 140 yards receiving in the 34-3 rout by the Eagles.

It'll be interesting to see how the Chiefs front seven do against Williams and Bell, which may determine the outcome of the game.

[O.city]

Timmons was treated for a puncture wound and will be available Sunday according to Tomlin

[O.city]

Getting Charles back would be a boost to the offense

[ModSocks]

First and foremost, Pressure Benji.
Second, stop run.
Third, have offense show up.

You have one and two backwards.

I think during the Jets game the broadcasters noted that the Chiefs had the 30th ranked rush defense. Couple that with Tomlin stating that Bell will see a heavy workload, i think it's safe to presume that the Steelers will try and establish the ground game, force the Chiefs to stack the box and then pick and choose the matchups in man coverage.

[DaneMcCloud]

The Chiefs are tied for #24 rushing defense (116 per game) but 6th in TD's scored with two TD's, both of which came in the first half of the first game of the season.

The San Diego game really skewed their numbers, along with poor performances from Poe, Bailey and Howard.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Isn't that a pass defense?

Its a mix. You have 5 on the LOS (say Hali, Howard,
Poe, Bailey, Ford), with DJ behind them, and your 5 DBs in coverage.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

First and foremost, Pressure Benji.
Second, stop run.
Third, have offense show up.

Can't do the first one without doing the second.

If they don't close down the run and put Ben in long passing situations (which still won't always be enough), they won't win.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Prepare to lose big.

[NWTF]

Doug Pederson gave us the blueprint to the Steelers. We can do this! Here's to 3-1!

I dont think theres a blueprint. If the Steelers had won last week Id feel more like they were ripe for a picking. They were embarrassed. I think your going to see a motivated and focused Steeler team. Not to say the Chiefs cant win but this game feels like a loss to me. So far Ive picked the Chiefs in every game this year. I dont think your going to see the same Steelers you saw last week.

[DJ's left nut]

Can't do the first one without doing the second.

If they don't close down the run and put Ben in long passing situations (which still won't always be enough), they won't win.

Yup; gotta reverse the order.

Stop the run first, pressure Ben second. When you don't stop the run, you get the first half against the Chargers.

Smith's getting the ball out so quickly will also be effective against Pittsburgh's defense, who already struggles to get to the quarterback. Pittsburgh has just one sack on the season, which took 6.8 seconds to occur, ranking 210th in the NFL in terms of the fastest sacks. If forced to give chase to the Steelers, Smith could turn in yet another great week as a streaming quarterback.

I had Tampa by 3 until unsurprisingly half their team is injured...the Denver way

[MotherfuckerJones]

Denver are the champs. People that fight that reality are kidding themselves. I hate that fucking team but they are what they are. Now, they also can't knock KC too bad because we choked game one last year and went in to Denver and shit stomped them into submission.

[New World Order]

When was the last time Bob Sutton's defense successfully shut down or contained a legit top flight offense that wasn't missing key players with injuries?

2014 MNF game against New England comes to mind, although the Patriots offense started that season out of sync and struggling.

The Dallas game in 2013 comes to mind as well.


Can't think of a time last year.

All I can think of is Branch in the slot guarding Edelman.

I still have nightmares.

The series was split last season. No matter how you spin it KC lost one of the games. But whatever, it's a new season and we will see what happens this year.

I'll have to give Taylor props if Nelson shows out again this week

You got healthy that's why you lasted in the afc. You beat a beaten down PIT and NE. Things fell your way. That's all. No one is scared of your bitch ass team

[LiL stumppy]

For to Pittsburgh last night... Cool city. Looking forward to tomorrow!

[Couch-Potato]

true, we have more talent on offense than the eagles


hmmmmm....I wouldn't jinx us by claiming that too early, its actually a pretty close call.


Wentz, J Matthews, Agholar, R Matthews, Sproles, Ertz

vs

Smith, Maclin, Hill, Ware, West, Kelce

[Titty Meat]

Lots of injuries for rhe Steelers. Might have to change my pick.

[milkman]

Nope. Frauds.

You are as bad as Claythan from the opposite side.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

He is my evil twin

[NJChiefsFan]

If KC won the SB last year, in the exact same way Denver did, Chiefs fans wouldn't feel guilty. They wouldn't apologize. They would laugh at Denver fans for trying to pretend it doesn't count. Denver fans are laughing at all of that, and they should be.

Pure denial, pure lack of being able to mentally process a trauma. And yeah, for me as well, Denver winning was a trauma. It's horrible, but it happened. Not getting over it leaves the rest of us to actually read about it more. But hey, if we call them Dungver, or even more vicious, the Donks, that really gets them doesn't it....

I wouldn't apologize one bit if KC won lol. But I surely will talk shit because they're on a rival board.

[NJChiefsFan]

Fair enough. Just be really good at it, because at 3-0 coming off a SB win, gonna be tough to win that fight.

[MotherfuckerJones]

It's a KC message board so anytime a Denvers fan has to come on here and brag, I'll give it back because KC hasn't accomplished dick in my lifetime, therefore all I can do is talk smack lol. Ready for hockey season my man?

[Easy 6]

The only real question left is... who is the rootin tootin, snoopin n poopin, hairy chested, fire breathing luck magnet thats starting the game thread tonight?

Whoever it is better bring some real guts and their best pixie dust :arrow:

[Anyong Bluth]

Kinda surprising at the number of steelers fans on their boards either worried about KC and picking the Chiefs.

Smith, Maclin, Hill, Ware, West,Charles Kelce

I would add Charles since he coming back and West is out.

I really am. I actually see the Devils possibly making the playoffs. After that horrid World Cup of Hockey I'm ready for the regular season to start. I digress though, for the sake of the thread.

Oh it was just a quick late night question is all.



This is a game where Smith needs to lead this team. I'm looking for a great game from our QB.

[Couch-Potato]

That's fair, but we're not sure how healthy he is and so the point still stands. Believe me, I hope we're better than the Eagles, and better than the Stealers this evening, It just makes me nervous to start making claims about our squad this early. This team is prone to performance swings over the last few years.

Steelers secondary is terrible. They're disciplined in their zone coverage but it's a pure BBDB defense.

It's the perfect game for us to stretch the field and go deep over the middle to Kelcee...

Think you are correct.just hope Reid is smart enough to realize it

[OctoberFart]

Sunday night bum chug on national TV. Enjoy!

It is going to be a repeat of Rodgers last year in primetime. Enjoy!


Spot on!

Choose one. You can't have both.

This thread is pure gold.

[OctoberFart]

Big Ben stuffed KC into a dive bar bathroom and had forcible sex with KC. The only funny thing is millions of people watched and laughed at KC and that fat fuck on the sideline.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Spot on!

You were wrong again. It was worse than that game.

Pretty much this....

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Nobody watches games anymore anyway. Scary to think of five years from now. Goodell and the owner clown crew killed the game.

Totally untrue. Game is as popular as ever.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

But no one cares except about fantasy and making money . Team loyalty is dropping as is viewership.

[Anyong Bluth]

Why is anyone shocked. I said this last week from the start. Pittsburgh just got clowned and facing us on national television at home.

It had all the makings of a brutal outcome.

The game isn't indicative of the rest of the season. I could be the demarcation line of them going in the toilet or using the bye to get shit straightened out. That goes double for the coaches, who I'm placing equal if not slightly more blame on it. Why? Because that 1st quarter should have been enough notice that refusing to challenge on offense vertically and digging in to focus on a short horizontal attack was dumb. Plenty of dumb mistakes, penalties, turnovers, and miscommunication on the players not executing, but that's when the coaches step up and refocus the team and devise a new approach to attack.

Peters has no business being told to play off his man at the los. He's a press / bump and run cover guy. In college he never played off at the line and excels in jamming and using his physicality to blanket guys. That's on Sutton! If you are asking him to play 2, 4, even 8 yards off his guy, you're setting him up to fail.

When Davis doesn't decide to take it out of the corner of the endzone like an idiot, shit ticky-tack flags on returns by Hill are killing any momentum.

Our musical chairs OL certainly isn't helping.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

I missed the punt return. Did Reek get hosed again?

[Bowser]

It was probably a legit call, but I've also seen worse blocks in the back not get called. So yeah, maybe.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

The one in Houston was a tragedy. Just amazing.

[Discuss Thrower]

It was probably a legit call, but I've also seen worse blocks in the back not get called. So yeah, maybe.

Report me for spamming to your heart's content, but it's the same thing as "you can call holding on every offensive play."

Rewrite the rules on what is and isn't allowed and move on.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Won't change. It makes the game super easy to manipulate for those point spreads Discuss.

Either way, it was iffy at best, and more importantly it had no effect on him returning it for the TD. To me it looked like he engaged the player from the side to block, not a block in the back, and certainly didn't grab the guy.

[Easy 6]

Meh, I couldnt care less about the Tyreek penalty... it was going to be too little too late, anyway

[Pasta Little Brioni]

I think he's getting those flags due to his off field troubles.
