    1. 1stvhalf we beat ourselves...... 2nd half, we got beat... . Badly

    2. The players and coaches should all be collectively thanking the Chiefs for showing them what needs to be fixed out there

    3. Overall, good things happen when our te's are involved in the offense

    4. Even better things happen when Jaylen Warren is involved

    5. Dan "revolving door" Moore got routinely abused

    6. I shudder to think about what the Chiefs defense did to us "without" Chris Jones

    7. Defensive adjustments from Teryl Austin were missing in action

    8. Russell Wilson absolutely needs to run the ball more often

    9. Coach Tomlin missed an obvious challenge opportunity on the Chiefs first down catch that clearly hit the ground

    10. We just basically handed the division to the Ravens

    11. On the bright side, we get to pad the stat sheets against the Bengals defense next wk

    12. On another bright side note.... we're all undefeated when the playoffs start

    Russ needs too to step up in the pocket and GET RID OF THE BALL. Does he know he does not have 4 seconds to throw? Take the snap, make a read or 2 and THROW THE BALL. this OLINE cannot pass block that well....

    and yes - Jaylen is a play maker.

    Not sure we have the receiving corps to do that. Not one of them seems to have the ability to get off the line at the snap and run a quick slant. The one guy who probably could, 14, is more of a sideline guy than a down the middle of the field guy.

    This x100

    There were a lot of opportunities for momentum shifts which were squandered.

    first true smack down of the season - Eagle and Ravens recent losses at least had some what if moments.

    seeing Mahomes get rid of the ball so quickly and then seeing Russ have the ball - night and day difference.

    5. You didn't see Karloftis abusing your boy Jones?? Call out both tackles if your going to summarize the game with your thoughts, instead of cherry picking

    You are seriously blind bro if you think Dan was the biggest problem on the o-line.

    I have to agree. Jones had an awful game especially the 2nd series of the 2nd half. He had bout 3 bad reps in 6 plays. One bad rep allowed Wilson to run up the middle on the broken play to get a first down. I'm typically the first to defend Jones, but yea. Bad game for 77.

    Bungles will embarrass the steelers next week. WC game will be another L. We've already seen this movie several times.

    “Wait, wait, it’s coming in across the wire; there it is

    there it is,”

    The Pittsburgh Steelers have the most expensive defense in the NFL.

    Russell Wilson played like he did in Denver today. He held the ball too long, too often. The Steelers will still have a QB issue going into next year. The team is in mediocrity hell. Tomlin will not get another playoff win as Steelers HC. This 10-6 team feels more like the 1988 5-11 team, which seems weird since it is playoff bound.

    Muth not worth having on the team anymore IMO.

    Why do we do nothing when an offensive lineman is consistently getting beat?

    Would have liked to see more pass protection so we can get more throws to Pickens.

    Very disappointing.
    My worst prediction has come true, 0-3 in this stretch.
    Handed the division over without much of a fight, more of a whimper.
    It is very possible to go 0-4.

    I can't see a playoff win... would love to say this is a year we have chance...
    Just bad everything across the board.
    F'g ruined a good Christmas Dinner.

    just end this season, this team is done. Obvious blowout in 2 weeks to come, and another offseason searching for a quarterback without draft capital. Poor tj, wasting his chances to win it all with a team like this, I feel so sorry for him

    Many a great one has come and gone without sniffing the big game. The team looking like a lost mess at this point in the season definitely doesn't bode well.

    I could see them beating Houston in the first round of the playoffs, their OL is worse than the Steelers.

    Austin is not up to par
    meyer is not up to par
    Tomlin may not be up to par and the realization might be setting in that hes been riding Ben’s cot-tails and his own reputation he built early on

    after these last three weeks i don't expect this team to do much in the playoffs.
