Game 4: Steelers @ Packers - Sunday, Oct 3rd 3:25PM

When it comes to special teams its always Groundhog Day.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Do they not allow you to get back anymore?

 

If you jump, and the offense moves, that's technically an offsides, I think. It doesn't result in a dead-ball. Again, I think so. Not 100% sure.

 

That’s what I always thought. I couldn’t tell on the second one but the first sure looked like he was back onside before the ball was snapped. It didn’t matter as that was the TD though.

 

I know on the first one when he crossed the line the RT flinched, so that would be an offsides even if he got back. the 2nd one shouldn't have been, but ultimately didn't matter.

True, if the offense moves as a reaction. That has evolved into the OL moving 2 seconds later and still gets the call.

It has to a absolutely suck tackling Dillon

Crosby and new punter. Only thing worth a dang on the special teams.

[DuWayne Steurer]

I like them running Dillon outside, even if that's not his strength. Can't just bring him in and pound the ball up the middle. Can't be predictable.

Awww.. didn’t catch the jump. That makes sense.

When the OL jumped they play should have been called dead shouldn’t it?

[pacopete4]

Run blocking looks a lot better this week.

No, because it's not a false start penalty its offsides.

[nodakfan17]

I didn't question the punt from the 40. I wouldn't have been mad if they had gone for it either. Punting and then holding the Stillers gave them decent field position, and here we are. Good drive. Now the defense needs to hold serve.

 

I am still always assuming the defense will allow TDs from anywhere on the field.

Going to take a while for that perception to change.

Same. Every time the opposing team takes possession, I assume they’re scoring 7. Stops and field goals are a win. I’m just conditioned to think like that. It’s been that way since the 4-12 season where Ahmad Carrol held on every other play.

[jason21nl]

Adams is so good

 

Crap then he drops the next one

[young guns]

I don't understand the enforcement of the holding penalty on the punt. Returner caught it at GB 46, advanced about 11 yards to the PIT 45. Was supposed to be 10 yard penalty from the end of the run, but the ball was spotted at the GB 36.

 

I didn't listen to what the ref said but what you're saying isn't how holding is enforced.

He said enforced from the end of the kick, which caught me off guard. Not sure if that's a new thing or because of where/when the hold happened.

[valpocrewsader]

PIT left DE egregiously lined up in neutral zone on that 2nd & 10 from the 23, no call, right in front of a line judge. We got a first down on that play, but still...

[yourout]

What the heck....

[PinaMadness]

Just when I was about to let the ST have it...

[adambr2]

Why is it so difficult for us to have competent special teams, ever?

[jason21nl]

I know they were offsides but they were dangerously close last week to being blocked. One of the XPs I thought was going to be blocked and this one was going to be blocked regardless of being offsides Edited October 3, 2021 by jason21nl

[DuWayne Steurer]

Easy to block a kick when you're 4 yards offsides.

[CheezWizHed]

two guys were moving before the ball was snapped. The CBS "official" was smoking something about "timing the snap"...

 

edit - now Romo drinking the kool aid

[pacopete4]

Well, that’s a very fortunate offsides.

[FVBrewerFan]

I dont think they were offsides.

[PinaMadness]

Now that I look at it again the off sides didn't look all that egregious. It may not have even been a penalty.

 

So yes, the ST do blow.

4 yards? Borderline call at very best....

They damn near popped that return.
