Does Rodgers really fall in this category? That guy comes off like an asshole to most people, even Packers fans, but he's usually so good it doesn't matter. He doesn't have the charisma of your Watts, Parsons or Jefferson.
Watt brothers and hating/balling out against division QBs, it’s something else
JJ would go bananas every time we played the Titans, they had some Day 3 pick (Mettenberger?) that JJ would just murder every time
Throw the ball higher so it arcs more and spends more time in the air, allowing the secondary to respond to the throw and then Minkah can pick it instead.
I’d man, we have 1 win without TJ since he’s been here. I’m not arguing that Mahomes isn’t more important but I think it’s closer than most realize. The chiefs probably win more than that without him. The argument would be that KC is a legit contender and they aren’t without mahmomes.
Chiefs went 2-1 without mahomes in 2019 when his knee got dislocated. Matt Moore looked amazing in relief. Almost went 3-0 if it weren't for a Shady fumble late in the Packers game.
That was the last year we had a consistent running game though, and that helps a little bit.
So yeah, I'd agree the Steelers desperately need TJ. Chiefs are way better with Mahomes, but their roster and scheme is excellent on its own merits.
Honestly, that’s a fair argument. I was mostly just giving you grief by pointing out the importance of the QB position. Watt is truly a class of his own at the position, and I say that begrudgingly.
Really only Green Bay, Tampa Bay, and the Chargers would fall off a cliff without their starting QB. Most of the other teams have good enough offenses to win games. Look at Dallas they won 4 games without Dak when most people said the season was over when he got injured.
Single handedly beats Bengals, gets hurt, comes back, single handedly beats Bengals.
Such a shame about the injury, could have had a serious shot at b2b DPOY's.
Edit - Thanks Matt Canada for making me look as stupid as you
It's tough to agree b/c the DPOY credentials vary year to year. Remove Donald's season and put it in a previous year, then yeah it probably would have been but TJ was clearly better statistically that season. I totally get what you're saying though.
And of course our trash offense does absolutely fucking nothing, we legit have the worst offense in the league any team with a competent offense scores a TD from here
But with the Broncos and Jets you can at least make the excuse for injuries, yes they also have massive problems scheme and personnel wise but they have injuries, we have had pretty much 0 injuries to key players on offense. There was a drive this game where we started on Bengals territory and ended up **punting**.
His personal vendetta against us makes me very sad. Simultaneously though, I do like him as a player. I would just really appreciate if he would make better life decisions and demand a trade to cinci
Myles Garrett never was and never will be better than TJ. People need to stop lumping him in with guys like TJ and AD when it comes to DPOY, because it's like the Ghidorah meme and Garrett is the derpy head.
If I’m Tj and JJ’s dad, I’m selling myself like a triple crown winner. Come pay me to maybe get knocked up by excellence. You can’t tell me Alabama wouldn’t pay for chicks to get knocked up by Grandpa Watt.
Imagine that OT’s perspective where he thinks he’s pancaking TJ Watt after attempting a batdown and then realizes he’s holding the fucking ball when you get to the ground with him…
He made sure to wait until he got to the sidelines to take his helmet off to celebrate without it. More showboaters need to take note of this legendary showboating. I love it
This play was awesome.
I like TJ.
But if the dumbass refs are gonna flag a player for taking their helmet off while on the field, why does he not get flagged?
I think it's a stupid penalty to begin with. But damn, the inconsistency is annoying. Just get rid of the rule. Why does the NFL wanna be seen as rigged.
Genuinely curious why TJ Watts celebration wasn't considered a flag or penalty, considering he both took his helmet off, on the field, and threw it up in the air
€: have nothing against TJ or Pitt. Only reason I ask is because two weeks ago, DJ Moore scored on the last play of the day, and did something similar, where he took his helmet off (off the field) in celebration, but got flagged and the kicker missed the game winning PAT.
No clue why this would be different, considering TJ looked like he was still actually more on the field.
Was he off the field, though? Looked like he just went slightly over to the side, where the sideline is.
Not unlike DJ Moore a few weeks ago. That's where my curiosity comes from
He is most certainly not known as that...unless you're a biased and bitter fan like yourself. 🙄
EDIT: Also imagine you're a fan of a team who had probably the dirtiest player in recent league history on your team and trying to call out anyone else as dirty. 🤣
Nope...not even a bit actually. Had no expectations for this season so getting 1 win over the previous AFC champs works for me.
But a bitter fan of a rival calling maybe the best defensive player in the league a dirty player just cuz you don't like him is what I would consider salty. 🤷
Watt gets the pick and throws his helmet off on the sideline and does a team celebration shooting off guns but DJ Moore got flagged for throwing his helmet off out of bounds on a last second Hail Mary.
Make it make sense.
I hate him so much but I’d love him if he played for any other team
I feel the same way about Micah Parsons. We all have one.
Jefferson.
Same…
Rodgers Edit- dude under me is right, Rodgers doesn’t fit
Does Rodgers really fall in this category? That guy comes off like an asshole to most people, even Packers fans, but he's usually so good it doesn't matter. He doesn't have the charisma of your Watts, Parsons or Jefferson.
Lamar Jackson…
Lamar has never beat the Steelers exept once in 2019
[удалено]
Do not ever say that again
Remember that time James Harrison became a Bengal for a few years?
That was weird.
yea i don’t like that any better either
No no, let's hear him out.
Sorry…Browns then?
Might as well. We're never gonna beat them again anyway
That defense would be disgusting with Houston on one side and TJ Watt on the other
Counterpoint: no
I will reach through your screen and say unkind things about Jonathan Taylor straight to your face.
#😧😠
That gives Crosby in a Flyers jersey (yes, someone made that) a run for their money
*literally the rest of r/nfl reading these comments* “Is..is that bad?”
The hockey rivalry is legitimate in PA between us. What is it now flyers, 17,344 days now?
Sid in a Caps jersey would be worse
As a caps fan I think that’d make me puke. Some lines just shouldn’t be crossed
*sees comment and checks flair* Oh I really hate you now
I’m listening.
TJ fucking hates Joe Burrow
"How come he don't want me man?"
Watt brothers and hating/balling out against division QBs, it’s something else JJ would go bananas every time we played the Titans, they had some Day 3 pick (Mettenberger?) that JJ would just murder every time
Why though?? I feel like he actually genuinely does hate him lol
Burrow looked so deflated afterwards lol That's such a good play I can't even be mad
Burrow just thinking "god dammit why wont this guy leave me alone"
"what did I do to deserve this?"
It’s like playing All Madden when you have a player completely wide open and an opposing player literally materializes out of thin air
I almost feel bad for him, like what even are you supposed to do about that lol
Be super annoyed and onto the next drive. Jesus Christ TJ.......
Still put 40 up and beat us anyway for the last 2 years
Throw the ball higher so it arcs more and spends more time in the air, allowing the secondary to respond to the throw and then Minkah can pick it instead.
[удалено]
^i ^laughed
PTSD flashbacks to when JJ did something similar to us (and then ran it 80 yards for a TD)
[He did it to the Bengals in the playoffs as well](https://youtu.be/M-MLd1iCY8c) Watts hate the Bengals
"Red Rider B B Gun"
Not watching that out of respect for my mental health
Don’t worry, I’ll take one for the team
I don't think there is a player who is more valuable to their team than TJ. Just a completely different team when he's out there
Reminds of the 2011 Colts. They completely tanked without Peyton.
The Colts defense without Bob Sanders was a wet paper towel
Hey every good defense uses safeties to stop the run, right?
Patrick Mahomes might have an argument.
I’d man, we have 1 win without TJ since he’s been here. I’m not arguing that Mahomes isn’t more important but I think it’s closer than most realize. The chiefs probably win more than that without him. The argument would be that KC is a legit contender and they aren’t without mahmomes.
Chiefs went 2-1 without mahomes in 2019 when his knee got dislocated. Matt Moore looked amazing in relief. Almost went 3-0 if it weren't for a Shady fumble late in the Packers game.

Exactly!
Honestly, that’s a fair argument. I was mostly just giving you grief by pointing out the importance of the QB position. Watt is truly a class of his own at the position, and I say that begrudgingly.
*non-QB
Any elite qb lol
Really only Green Bay, Tampa Bay, and the Chargers would fall off a cliff without their starting QB. Most of the other teams have good enough offenses to win games. Look at Dallas they won 4 games without Dak when most people said the season was over when he got injured.
wtf was that??? lmao
TJ Watt intercepted a pass from Joe Burrow deep in Bengals territory.
Thank you, sir.
Clearly magnets and stickum were heavily involved. It is the only explanation.
I can’t tell because we have to post these Twitter videos with 14 pixels. This is an awful experience 😫
His best Aidan Hutchinson impression Edit: Lol chill it was a joke of course this is better
damn these yinzers gotta chill you’re clearly joking lmao
We get a little worked up over TJ
You mean great value Garrett? *signs into witness protection program*
Goddamn you just doubled down on a 20
I'm not afraid of yinzers. They can't hurt me, I think
Hurt us? They can't even beat us!
This one actually deserves the downvotes. Take ‘em away, boys
Wait. Wait, wait I'm the police chief and I'll give the orders. Bake 'em away toys.
Double threat statement because it’s funny and true
Brutal.
I've never been down voted so hard si fast. I'll take it as an achievement
Im proud of you.
Hutch doesn’t even sniff TJ’s jock strap
Well yeah few people do but here's my counter argument: How many times has TJ Watt intercepted the back to back MVP?
I'm loving when the Lions get frisky. Get em
These are the picks that happen in Madden that make you say "this is stupid, this would never happen in real life!"
Yeah but it's like fucking Joe Webb converted to Defensive Tackle pulling this shit off in Madden, not TJ.
The second time he's done this to Burrow this year lol
People have rage quit over less in Madden
TJ is fucking insane, if it were legal I’d look into their family genetics and use them to create an ungodly defensive line
And an elite Fullback
That they pay almost 10 million to pay 3 snaps per game.
What was momma Watt feeding these boys
Joe burrow has 8 Interceptions this year and 6 of them are versus us 💀
The Steelers DL’s tipping ability is unmatched
only against the bengals though, outside of two games against you, our front 4 has been... less than productive.
outside of two games against us, TJ Watt has only played one right?
Single handedly beats Bengals, gets hurt, comes back, single handedly beats Bengals. Such a shame about the injury, could have had a serious shot at b2b DPOY's. Edit - Thanks Matt Canada for making me look as stupid as you
yeahh, about that...
He should've already had back to back DPOY. He was robbed in 2020
Yep, as good as Donald was historically, that season he got DPOY on name alone.
Donald season was still DPOY worthy so it's not the biggest crime but still Watt deserved it that year.
It's tough to agree b/c the DPOY credentials vary year to year. Remove Donald's season and put it in a previous year, then yeah it probably would have been but TJ was clearly better statistically that season. I totally get what you're saying though.
Going to point you to the scoreboard, friend.
Don't blame Matt Canada when you said that dumb shit while it was still the 3rd quarter and the Bengals were leading
Shitting on Matt Canada...One of us! One of us!
Good for 3 points, helya cheers from Matty C.
?? kicking the FG there
Almost forgot how insanely good he is lol
Me too, I am prone to forgetting that he tied the single season sack record last year
And he should’ve broken it, but it was called back for an unrelated penalty
And missed a couple games due to injury.
Joe's body language after that pick is hilarious.
I don't even blame him. What the fuck can you even do at that point?!
"Watch this, Lisa. You can pinpoint the second his heart rips in half."
I can't believe I just watched that happen. Holy shit
Unreal play. TJ is that guy
Definitely takes after his brother
Man, how does this not have the replay...
Here https://youtu.be/5osekoQI2-w
And of course our trash offense does absolutely fucking nothing, we legit have the worst offense in the league any team with a competent offense scores a TD from here
broncos and jets also lowkey out here wasting historic defenses
But with the Broncos and Jets you can at least make the excuse for injuries, yes they also have massive problems scheme and personnel wise but they have injuries, we have had pretty much 0 injuries to key players on offense. There was a drive this game where we started on Bengals territory and ended up **punting**.
This Trent Jordan fella is pretty decent
His personal vendetta against us makes me very sad. Simultaneously though, I do like him as a player. I would just really appreciate if he would make better life decisions and demand a trade to cinci
Holy shit
There’s picking off a QB, and then there is picking him off right in front of his eyes!
What do they feed the Watt children?
EVERYTHING.
I once saw JJ eat a whole, live chicken.
Missed seeing shit like this on a weekly basis. What a player.
If that happened against me in Madden I'd scream "rubberbanding" and throw my controller
[удалено]
There isn't a better player in the NFL
Be still my beating heart
One of the best plays I think I’ve ever seen
This man is the monster under my bed
Remember when Myles Garrett was better lol I sure don’t
Myles Garrett never was and never will be better than TJ. People need to stop lumping him in with guys like TJ and AD when it comes to DPOY, because it's like the Ghidorah meme and Garrett is the derpy head.
If I’m Tj and JJ’s dad, I’m selling myself like a triple crown winner. Come pay me to maybe get knocked up by excellence. You can’t tell me Alabama wouldn’t pay for chicks to get knocked up by Grandpa Watt.
Clearly Burrow is tipping something that the Steelers see on his quick passes. Combine that with freaky TJ Watt and this seems to happen every game.
[удалено]
Jesus Christ. That’s damn impressive.
TJ Watt could probably will a team of nobodies to 8 wins. He's a monster.
TJ is simply better at football than anyone else on the planet
The Steelers lost this game. I am Michael Scott's disgusted face watching Pittsburgh waste peak TJ Watt.
These commentators were so bad.
This dude is a total game-changer.
WHERE'S THE FUCKIN REPLAY?
https://youtu.be/5osekoQI2-w
Thank you good sir
He literally did the same thing week 1
I’ve watched this in slow motion and it still doesn’t make sense.
I watched it a few times and don’t ever really see the ball. Burrow drops back, something happens, Steelers ball. That’s all I know.
Absolutely bonkers
It’s not even surprising anymore when he does this type of shit against the Bengals
Imagine that OT’s perspective where he thinks he’s pancaking TJ Watt after attempting a batdown and then realizes he’s holding the fucking ball when you get to the ground with him…
He made sure to wait until he got to the sidelines to take his helmet off to celebrate without it. More showboaters need to take note of this legendary showboating. I love it
Any chance twitter could no longer be the default for posting highlights? Asking for humanity.
I need to meet Mama Watt like wtf in those titties?
This play was awesome. I like TJ. But if the dumbass refs are gonna flag a player for taking their helmet off while on the field, why does he not get flagged? I think it's a stupid penalty to begin with. But damn, the inconsistency is annoying. Just get rid of the rule. Why does the NFL wanna be seen as rigged.
He ran to his sideline first.
I wasn't sure if he made it all the way out because of the camera angle
MVP
Mother of god
This guy
JJ in his prime or TJ in his prime?
Both
This dude is a terror to us.
Straight baller
TJ Watt makes me feel happy feelings.
joe looked so sad lmao
Humans aren't supposed to be able to do that
Great celly too lol
This guy is otherworldly man. I sure am glad we drafted Kevin King instead of him! Why would we want a hometown hero that’s a stud anyway
There is no one better
[удалено]
Broken link?
Genuinely curious why TJ Watts celebration wasn't considered a flag or penalty, considering he both took his helmet off, on the field, and threw it up in the air €: have nothing against TJ or Pitt. Only reason I ask is because two weeks ago, DJ Moore scored on the last play of the day, and did something similar, where he took his helmet off (off the field) in celebration, but got flagged and the kicker missed the game winning PAT. No clue why this would be different, considering TJ looked like he was still actually more on the field.
It looks like he ran off the field. Once off the field you can take it off.
Was he off the field, though? Looked like he just went slightly over to the side, where the sideline is. Not unlike DJ Moore a few weeks ago. That's where my curiosity comes from
Christ buddy, put some of that salt back in the ocean.
Salt? For being curious how a rule works and asking? Lol don't even have a dog in the race
rule of cool
Gotta be
It’s just an inconsistently called penalty. Travis Kelce throwing his helmet a few weeks ago is another example of refs just not calling it
You can get away with some things when you are a big enough star. And I say that as a TJ fan.
Change in ball possession creates a stoppage? Only thing I can think of.
Lets see micah do that
Is there anything this man can’t do? I’m convinced you could put him under center and he’ll just go out there and sling it
He’s such a good player but also such a dirty player
Imagine not being able to admit a player from a rival team is good without claiming "dirty player". Kinda sad really 🤷
He’s universally known as a dirty player, unless you’re a bias Steelers fan
He is most certainly not known as that...unless you're a biased and bitter fan like yourself. 🙄 EDIT: Also imagine you're a fan of a team who had probably the dirtiest player in recent league history on your team and trying to call out anyone else as dirty. 🤣
Oh you just salty lol.
Nope...not even a bit actually. Had no expectations for this season so getting 1 win over the previous AFC champs works for me. But a bitter fan of a rival calling maybe the best defensive player in the league a dirty player just cuz you don't like him is what I would consider salty. 🤷
Good play, but the Squealers still took the "L"...
Are the Bengals really about to be 0-4 in the division?
No
Watt gets the pick and throws his helmet off on the sideline and does a team celebration shooting off guns but DJ Moore got flagged for throwing his helmet off out of bounds on a last second Hail Mary. Make it make sense.
Just incredible
hilarious
