Arthur and/or receivers are why we lost

Wish there was a way we could see what the average time was Rodgers had the ball until he left it fly. And then compare it to sacks.

 

I’ve felt like I’ve been in the Twilight Zone since the summer when, seemingly, half the fanbase defended the WR corps & the decision to stand pat & not replace Pickens. ESPECIALLY, coming off last season when they did the same damn thing & refused to replace Dionte Johnson.

If they had decided to rebuild, then fine. But, to make all those moves & to give the impression that they were all in on winning, only to completely neglect the WR position, never made ANY sense, whatsoever.

You have to have playmakers in this era & can’t rely on TEs to replicate the impact & production of a legit WR2/WR3. Settling on CAIII & a rotating cast of practice squad level WRs was utter & complete incompetence. And, topping it off with the most basic, predictable offense in the NFL is just the chef’s kiss of ignorance & stupidity.

This staff & FO are terrified of their own collective shadows & I pray that I’ve seen the last game with them in charge. I, personally, won’t spend another penny on anything Steelers related until some REAL changes are made. I know it’s irrelevant & makes no difference, at all. But, idc. I’m livid & there aren’t many other ways to make an impact, even if it’s as minuscule as it gets.

 

He would've opened the field way more for Metcalf, Muth and most importantly our running game. Extend drives, not gas out our D and so on. It's a trickle down affect, was it ever going to be enough for us to progress in the playoffs??? There was always going to be a problem with our highest paid D in the league, giving up chunk plays on the run

 

Steelers already win games. They just don't win postseason games

 

We were down by only one point going into 4th quarter. Defense needs to see the offense doing something, not just helping the opposition score.

 

Who cares Tomlin is gone great day in the burgh

 

Won't a new coach want to bring in his own coordinators? I don't see Austin or Smith being coaches next year. Of course, like with Cowher and Tomlin in their first years, the front office will probably be making most of the personnel decisions.

 

At least we won't have to watch Arthur Smith crappy offense next season.

 

And if one of them got hurt, we'd still have an NFL WR.

I disagree re: defensive pay. We don't pay a QB. So there was more than enough money to keep Pickens. Especially through the end of his rookie deal (this season).

 

Like I said all along his teammates along with just about everybody in the organization wanted Pickens gone.

 

Pickens is not a problem in Dallas so far in the locker room....

 

Yeah, he's trying to get a long-term deal so he's on his best behavior .

 

and he is happy because he is in a wide open offense that their number 1 goal is to score on every drive....The goal for the steelers offense was to avoid turnovers even if a punt was the most likely result in that style

 

And Dallas is in no hurry to give him a long term deal .

 

Because the ego of Jerry Jones is too big to talk to his agent,who is the same agent that Parsons

 

Then why trade for him if you're not going to sign him to a long term deal.

 

It was only for a 3rd round pick and they could still put him on the franchise tag next season and trade him for a high draft pick in the worst case scenario

 

This has been very clear to myself and anyone other than the 2-3 GP fans who have never been in a leadership position

 

Nope

 

I am a firm believer that it is NOT the player (usually) but it is the SYSTEM in which they play. This holds very true for QB's. Doesn't surprise me one bit that he went to another system and flourished. The Steeler's "system" is what was at fault.

That being said, he is still a basket case IMO. It is not a matter of "if", only "when" he will blow a gasket.

rutan

 

I think if this were true, we'd see more failed QBs go to other teams and have success.

This does happen, but not all that frequently.

 

The reasons we’re losing are:

1. Lost our franchise QB
2. Poor coaching
3. Poor draft picks

 

Both are from athlete first.....

 

You are correct
