Official Gameday Thread:Steelers at Patriots

$160 Million Dollar Defense.....


Blowing leads.... seems to be the case of 2025.

 

Unbelievable. Another EASY stop, this time on fourth down. This team truly doesn't do the little things well

 

oh yeah Josh McDaniels must remember this defense cant stop TEs.

 

The Steelers blew the coverage on both touchdowns. I understand that they are missing guys, but this is just a sloppy defense.

 

Not going to get 4 TO's every week, that's the point, the defense can't stop anyone without them. Everyone can see that.

14-14 - easy peas for the Pats.

HH totally left alone...

 

i wonder if there is still any Tomlin supporters out there. after all he is the head coach and the one responsible for this team

 

Please don't come out with a run up the middle.for 2 yards.

 

4th and 2 and they complete a pass for like a 20 yard touchdown come on what a freaking joke

 

Holcomb just as poor IMO

Queen is playing meh, but he looks good in comparison

Geez

 

All the butt whippings the Patriots did with that play over the years.


You don’t learn?

 

Just when I thought defense couldn't get any worse. Henry was wide open.

 

No.


Since Ryan Shazier medically retired, no MOF Coverages allowed.

 

Henry is a fine player. He's nowhere near this good. Some of the defense is on it, others aren't trying

 

Getting owned on both sides of the ball. Patriots mistakes are only reason score is tied.

 

The Patriots aren't a very good offence, but we have allowed them to march down the field easily all day long. If not for 2 red zone turnovers, we might be getting blown out. We are not a good team, at all.
We might sneak into the playoffs like we often do, but this isn't a good team and we're miles away from being a contender.

 

Depressing. Take the FOUR turnovers away from us and the Patriots are absolutely destroying us. As it is, we are tied. Splash plays are great, but I would be quite happy with forcing punts.

 

But You can't discredit the turnovers. It's part of it.

 

He stinks. Can't get off blocks. Runs himself out of plays.

 

Maye couldn’t wait to throw that…. About jumped out of his skin he was so excited to see his guy totally uncovered. Vrabel insulted this defense saying we know where they’ll be…. He was right. Predictable as hell.

 

Tomlin is gonna give this game away unless he tells Smith-Rodgers to pass downfield. We are playing the 2nd to worst passing Def.

Rodgers only needs two seconds for a simple pass. Look at the Maye and his offense.

 

I wanted him fired after last year, but they didn't, so I don’t want to be negative all the time.

 

Might switch over to the Pirates game soon...at least they're pummeling the A's.

 

He was Brady's OC during the 2010s so it doesn't shock me.


That said, given how the Steelers cannot use the MOF on Offense nor cover it on Defense, some things never change.

 

The good news, I don't think this team is going to have a winning record this year. I think it's finally the time that tomlin's blunders over the years are going to start catching up with him. It's been years of bad drafts, no development and a team with no identity. It builds and builds and builds and I think it's really going to show its ugly warts this year.

Not the only question is, will it be enough to get him fired. It will have to get bad but this team has the potential to be really really bad.

 

I'm realizing it more and more, Shazier's tragic injury was the beginning of the end for the Steelers. They have never recovered from his injury.
