    1. Almost no one played well on either side in this one

    2. TJ Watt needs to be shut down

    3. Discipline and maturity are sorely lacking

    4. It won't happen, but most of our coaches need to go

    5. We are soft on both sides of the ball

    6. I think Ben's family will tell him to retire after watching this debacle

    7. Our punter was the best player out there today averaging 60 yds on 2 punts

    8. It's going to take 3 drafts to fix this mess

    9. We didn't do diddly poo out there

    10. The Chiefs may have scored 50 if Kelce played

    11. Watt and Heyward are the only two with any heart.

    Watching these 1st half duds week in and week out is getting old.

    They are 0 threat to run so why a flea flicker?

    When did we decide running backwards or to the sideline was a better option than running towards the endzone?

    Why is it better to palm the ball with 1 hand than tuck it like you are taught in 6 yr old flag football.

    Im extremely puzzled on these new methods the steelers are trying out.

    Welll...!!!


    Given the fact that the Linebacking Corps and Defensive Line Unit is essentially all but shot, someone would have to make the play. Naturally speaking though, as a Strong Safety, Terrell Edmunds usually has that responsibility as a Strong Safety is usually employed for additional run support. That said, his total pales in comparison to Minkah's. If anything, I feel truly sorry for Minkah as he deserves oh so much better; T.J. Watt and Cameron Heyward as well.



    Never mind those three though. Kevin Colbert and Mike Tomlin both have to buck the trend of not picking players from certain conferences/schools. 2022 is just about as good a year as one will find in terms of adding good Offensive Line/Defensive assistance. To that end?...



    Draft.


    Tyler.


    Linderbaum.

    I agree with the Watt, Heyward, and Minkah, but I'm not sold yet on Tyler Linderbaum. I think He's good Don't get Me wrong, but I'm not sold on Him being the best way 2 go in the 1st.
    That's if You are thinking the 1st round.
    Defense for Me always. LoL

    Based on the previous weeks, was the KC game a catastrophe or premonition

    Well, I am not upset or surprised at today's result based on current trend. So, what does that fall under? Premonition?

    It makes me wonder what they are looking for in linemen these days?


    I noticed he had a nice punt. Kept it straight too.



    My observation is it doesn't seem Matt Canada knows what to do in crucial situations. Play calling is hurting our chances at winning.

    EDIT: Okay, one more ... Ray Ray SHOULD NOT BE THE FOCUS OF THIS OFFENSE!!!!!!!! You can't tell me you can't throw it to a tight end, get James Washington more involved, or run Claypool on the anymore more than the same 50 go routes in a row.

    Fixing this abomination of an offensive line is job one as far as I'm concerned. I honestly would not be angry if they went center, tackle, guard the first three rounds then added another guard and tackle via FA, lol. That is how bad this line is. If this team isn't going to be good enough to contend for playoff spot for a couple two, three years then it should at least be a bunch of mean, angry ba$tards to play against. You might beat them, but you're going to be in for a fist fight. Get back to physical football.

    Like this, but I feel that way even with more venom on the Defense. Growing up a Steelers fan I've seen the offense look bad before. This defence looking this bad is the most disturbing, and disappointing thing 2 Me. We are the Steelers if We can't rely on the D ....well it's frightening. LoL.

    we need a new OC (IMO) defense is not the problem, they only look bad because they are on the the field way too much, I want Matt Canada to not be the OC next year, I want him to find a job in football with another team, I just want him to not be our OC next year

    you may have a point but I am thinking the biggest weakness with this team, and although the defense is not where we would like them to be, the weakness is offense and sustaining drives which, I believe, comes down to play callling and, I think we need to make some changes, new OC, Matt Canada is gone if it were up to me, I wld give a good recommendation so he cld land w another team, but we need a new OC. period.

    The 2022 draft needs to be all about the lines. At a bare minimum, they need a center and tackle on offense and a quality defensive tackle. Put the focus there, then worry about the rest.

    Isn’t there some sort of test for the players entering the NFL draft that grades their football IQ? This team may collectively have the lowest football IQ in the whole league

    Sad to say, I’m more concerned at the lackadaisical and blasé attitudes from both Tomlin and Ben post game. This is new and defies Steeler tradition.
    <hanging my head> The fire is gone. Sad.

    Yes to all of these....I don't even know which one to agree with the most. I also agree with #11 that someone else posted. Brutal.
