    This a 30 minute football team... been that way all year.

    Either play a great 1st half, and terrible 2nd.

    Or Terrible 1st half, and a good 2nd.

    They can't string together 4 good quarters.

    How many times has McDonald's fumbled and lost the ball to the opposing team this year? He made a pretty big catch over the middle in the game as well. Not saying he should be here next year but in my mind he hasn't been all bad this year. With Ju Ju out and Claypool not doing well this year we may need him more

    It sucks, but Steelers may have to draft a WR in 1st or 2nd round in 2022. What was once a position of strength is becoming a liability.

    The hate is because he essentially has one job and he barely can do that right because of his decision making. He's almost a non-factor in the passing game, but the one position he's guaranteed to play a part in and he blows the first rule of thumb that's required in the position which is to secure the ball. It's the only reason that he is on the team. He effectively has no room for error for that reason alone. I dont know If I even care that much about his YAC, but that's because I've conceded he's nothing special and I dont get my hopes up about it, but that makes him even more expendable. Somebody is going to excuse his mistake based upon how many times he has fumbled, but compare his number of touches to Najees who I dont believe has fumbled once.

    It was like this last year, too. Steelers were winning during the 11-0 stretch, but the offense would only show up for 2 quarters.

    I heard he got in at the end of the game, maybe they should've played him sooner the way Maulet was struggling.

    That guy Green was going against Goldman he's pretty good, but Green did struggle getting pushed back most of the game.

    They will have much bigger needs than a WR in round 1, next season they will still have Diontae and Claypool as the starters, they could use a speedy WR you can find those in the mid rounds.

    They couldn't afford to pay AV, and he wasn't a good run blocker.

    Actually they have a guy on the practice squad Steven Sims if they want to call him up, I think he used to be a return guy with Washington.

    Any every one of your replies is just a defense of the company line. If the Steelers did it, it must have been the right decision.

    Most of us fans know this is a flawed team, but we can still enjoy it when they win, it sure beats being a miserable fan like you who does nothing but complain after every win :facepalm:.

    AV seems to be blocking well for Le'Veon Bell and LJ.

    When Bob Labriola and Ron Cook are slamming the team the morning after a win, you have to be a complete blind homer to not discuss the flaws.

    Maybe you and Glemm can get together for a chai latte and compare pom poms.

    3rd and 1 dive is not a bad playcall on paper. You need 1 yard so you run it. And they adjusted at the end by running the sweep in short yardage and converted it with Claypool. They also threw the ball on a 3rd and 2 so they were varying their approach. The biggest problem I had was going with a goal line formation (with Ray Ray McCloud on the field, no less) instead of trying to thin them out, leading to those 9 man boxes.

    2nd and 15+ handoff is a horrendous playcall, period. And they doubled down on it after the first time it failed.

    Good question. I don't remember seeing him, and I remember seeing far too much of Maulet.
