My thoughts on regular season wk 17

DC is just a figurehead in the TOMLIN scheme. Does not matter who the PAWN it, it is MIKE TOMLIN running that predictable defense

 

Mahomes was releasing the ball in 2.3 seconds and no sacks. Something tells me Andy Reid was watching the Tom Brady films on how to beat the Steelers. This was the fastest release time Mahomes has ever had in a game.

How come the Chiefs players were getting open in 2 seconds; either the Chiefs WR are so much better than the Steelers WRs, or the Steelers Defense is just that bad.

Or, it could just be the coaching, KC came in with a game plan, and the Steelers Coaches thought they could take the game off, because it was Christmas. Andy Reid had a plan to beat the Steelers, and Mike Tomlin once again had the Steelers off to a slow start because there was no game plan.

 

I agree I have supported him up until this point, but my eyes are open now, he's got one more chance next year but it's make or break.

 

The standard is the standard which translates to the Steelers organization is perfectly happy with being a perennial mediocre team. These last 3 games have been painful to watch to say the least. I don’t see this team being anywhere close to the caliber of KC, the Bills or even Baltimore for that matter. Wilson has played pretty well but he’s definitely not the answer nor is Fields which means we’re looking at another 2 or 3 years before we can get and develop another franchise QB that measures up to a Mahomes, Allen, Hurts or Jackson because that’s what it’s gonna take to win playoff games again. They’ll be lucky to advance past the 1st round in the playoffs this year. This week against the Bengals look for them to get off to their normal slow start, be down at the half and maybe pull one out of their ass and win it in the 4th qtr. I’ve been a die hard Steeler fan for too long to even think about giving up on them but they sure haven’t made it easy over the last 10 years

 

Seems like we're always out of place when the ball hits the ground lately

Don't know what to make of the ball security thing..... even the usually solid Najee Harris has been guilty

We have no true defensive scheme.... it's basically pass rush or bust

I agree with the scheduling issue partly..... only thing I can say is that the Chiefs were on the same 3 game stretch and handed our asses to us on a silver platter

Khan had better believe aggressive

Burrow will get his yds, but their defense will give up an equal amount

 

Yah, pretty tough to get at a QB with that quick a release. Steelers were still in the game....until the 4th Qtr. and then the wheels fell off.

 

To tear into Moore with your little nicknames, who has been much improved for most of the season (ranked top half of all tackles) was BS, especially when the T from the other side was worse. Just the cherry picking that was distasteful

 

Our defensive scheme is "we have play makers" which is really unfortunate, because the QBs in the AFC are game wreckers

Khan has been making a lot of good moves. If it wasnt for the Jags playing a guy they were about to trade (Christian Kirk) then we wouldve had a solid WR2 sooner.

 

Sooner? They still don't have one. Austin is developing into a good slot guy, but Williams hasn't done much and Jefferson sucks. Those are the guys trying to play that second outside spot.
