It’s not just ONE guy!!

People want to place blame on Mitch, place blame on Canada, Place blame on Tomlin.


Sorry to bust your bubble, but our team has way more problems to be fixed other then putting Kenny in, firing Canada, firing Tomlin.

we have drops, we have bad plays, we can’t stop the run, Witherspoon can’t cover. Harvin can’t punt. We have no pash rush….the list goes on and on.

We start seeing positivity from the offense the first half when we go hurry up, but everytime we score our defense let’s them score the very next series.

I am usually ALWAYS optimistic, but it’s getting very hard to keep that optimism up. We can’t even beat the weaker teams. I really thought we would finally dominate the game tonight and I was way wrong.

On a positive note, I do believe our line showed improvement tonight, especially the first half, why we didn’t stick to what was working is beyond me.

 

I agree that the line looked better. The lone bright spot.

 

That was my take away from tonight too. The blame game is pointless, because this team has issues all over the place.

 

True it wasn't just 1 guy, but the most important guy inspires No One. He is so limited and I guarantee you his teammates see it.

 

Trubisky was a joke. Canada is horrible and Tomlin is on his usual same lallygaggin path.

 

It's systemic. I said it when AB live streamed the locker room and I've said it ever since because nothing has changed.
It's bad all over.

 

My cousin was a diehard Bears fan, and he just hated Tribisky. He said he just doesn't have It, and will not make big plays because he doesn't trust his deep throws.

 

So let’s bench Trubisky, fire Canada and Tomlin and see if we can go Undefeated the rest of the season and win the Super Bowl. Yes those 3 are part of the losses, but there are many many more also to be held accountable.

 

I must ask you this then, why is he making big plays when we are playing fast tempo?

If you ask me you should play to your strengths and if that’s playing fast tempo all game, then play fast tempo all game.

 

Yet we had to lead at halftime and were getting the ball. Wore out in the second half.

 

And when have we ever played a whole game fast tempo.....I'll answer for you...NEVER.
If Tribisky can't stay in the pocket like a normal qb we will see the same every week.

 

They can move away from traditional Steeler ball to help facilitate the success of the QB I just think with Trubisky it's still a lost cause because he doesnt throw a good deep ball and is hell of inconsistent on his throws.

 

Have you not noticed the last 3 years or so, ever time we go fast tempo we score? Go fast tempo and hope defense can get some stops and get a comfortable lead and then you slow the tempo down.

Is this the answer, heck I’m not sure, but I’m going by what I see. Trubisky hasn’t played his best, but he wasn’t the reason we lost tonight, Johnson had 2 key drops, long run by Warren gets called back. He wasn’t to sole reason we was going 3 and outs tonight.

Like my post says, It’s not just ONE guy.

 

True, but they want do that for a whole game, and Tribisky only look comfortable rolling out, which limits throwing options.

 

Correct but how did it get this way? Years of Tomlin having a say. Now the very last winners are gone… Ben and Colbert. Going to turn into a true **** show.

 

really liked the offense first half. Awful second half and back to horseshiat. Defense soft all game, no pressure at the line, no pressure on the quarterback. some failures on both sides of the football, all in all another awful game

 

A franchise QB can paper over a lot of issues. Ben took a 6-10 team with a line that couldn't hold a block and turned them into 15-1 after a 1-1 start with the other guy. I'm not saying Kenny will be anything like Ben who was a unique animal. However, a lot of problems get fixed with a good QB:

Move the chains
Offense gets into a rhythm
Complete longer passes to back the defense off the LOS - Receivers are getting open even with the lousy play calling but Mitch rarely connects with them.
Running game now finds some room to run
TOP starts to favor the Steelers
Defense isn't worn out by taking a league high number of snaps game after game

Maybe this team won't make the playoffs with either QB. But at least we get our future some experience in a year that won't matter if Mitch remains starter.

 

Can we give Meyer a pay raise ASAP? The difference between this line and week 2 of the preseason is night and day. This unit is the lone bright spot on the team right now.

DJ drops. It's one thing to drop a pass on a random first down and it's another to drop on big 3rd downs with the game on the line. I realize many will disagree with me here, but drops with the game on the line line is what separates great players from really good ones. He didn't cost us the game, but he's not helping either.

Edmunds played well the first two weeks, this week he reverted back to his old self. He gave up two TDs and missed several tackles.

All 3 of our corners played ok at best. Which truthfully isn't good enough. Not sure if it's scheme or what, but this unit gave up far too many 3rd down conversations. Our secondary, besides Fitz, is my biggest concern moving forward. We have to get off the field on 3rd down and failed to.

Pass rush was ehhhh. I think the Browns did a great job getting the ball outta Brissets hands quickly. Rush defense... Zero physicality to stop their run. Tonight wasn't a kinda night I'd praise the D. Just soft and uninspired football from them.

As for Mitch... if we're going to rock a game manager, then we might as well put Mason in. I've really seen enough. Mitch isn't the problem, but he's not the answer. If we're not going to play Kenny, then we should just put in Mason.

After all the criticism all week, this offense really sucked in the 2nd half. And that falls on Tomlin.

 

Anybody who acts surprised has been lying to themself. This team has a lot of problems.

 

I thought we’d lose tonight the Browns are a good team now with Chubb and Hunt. Plus Cooper is playing well for them. Shows how bad Mayfield is. That said we’re a ways off and I think Canada NEEDS to go now.

 

There is no consistency in all 3 phases. Include the coaching staff. Issues all over the place.

As mentioned the whipping boys, the offensive line are starting to jell a bit. The lone bright spot as mentioned. Turn the attention to the D Line.

 

But you can’t expect to replace one franchise qb with another one the very next year unless you have one already on the roster behind the previous franchise qb.

ecample: Montana/Young, Favre/Rodgers


We didn’t have one after Bradshaw and took us how many years to get another one?

We all know that when we signed Mitch he was not gonna be out next franchise qb, he is simply a fill in til we find our next one, we all assume that we bench Mitch and put Kenny in he is automatically gonna put up the wins like Ben did his first season. And yes I kinda think that way too, but then reality sets in.

as of right now we do it have all the tools to make any qb successful, yes we have the skill players, however we have no consistency, we have receivers disappointed they aren’t getting the ball, but when we do get them the ball in key moments they drop it.

imagine this locker room talk.
Johnson: Get me the ball Mitch
Mitch: I got you the ball Johnson and you dropped it twice.

we have no chemistry and we have no consistency.

I say this: We got 99 problems and a Mitch is one of them….

 

Mitch, not only, effect the offense, but the defense, as well.The defense, played well, until the poor execution of mitch, reared its ugly head. When, you have to tackle the likes of chubbs and hunt, with little rest. You will get worn down as well. And Muth, must have been, blocking all night. Because, he wasn't targeted until the 4th qtr
