    :lolol:

    Coming from a guy who knows nothing of the X’s and O’s part of the game and feels coaching doesn’t effect the outcome of games means absolutely nothing to me.

    There have been numerous examples of other teams on both sides of the ball claiming over the years that they knew what was coming and were calling out the plays. Steelers are predictable. A lot of that comes from Tomlin, he’s old school, believes you line up and beat the man in front of you. You two would get along well.

    Problem with that philosophy is you better have the more talented players.

    Baring some miraculous turnaround by Canada, I can’t imagine him making it past this season.

    His system just does not put them in the best position to succeed. The lack of splash plays, yac, 400 yard games and the complete misuse of Pickens is all correlated to poor schemes.

    This hasn't changed since day one and he's still here.
    I'd gladly welcome back Randy at this point.

    Because they don’t believe in firing coaches under contract. There may be some examples where they have, I don’t know but in general, they just don’t do it. They won’t pay them to sit on their coach.

    I completely agree. I just blame Tomlin and the Rooney's. They knew Canada's short comings and brought him back anyways.

    Promote him. Do something to get a playbook out of his control, whatever it takes.

    I watched part of it and I was jealous. Sure, it helps to have Hill and Waddle, but that offense is so much more creative than what Canada has the Steelers running.

    They talked about a play being Miami’s bread and butter and how they run it 7-8 times a game.

    Amazing what having a qb that gets rid of the ball quickly and accurately can do for you.

    Do that with plays that work. The play the Steelers ran repeatedly, at best, was getting them short completions with no opportunity for YAC. That's not going to cut it.

    It's amazing what a creative play-caller can do for a quarterback, too.

    By the way, Tagovailoa had times when he was holding the ball too long, too. He is in his fourth year. Pickett is in his second.

    Am I right to think this play must have been working?
    If so, big difference.

    This has been gone over numerous times, but what is one more time? The plays were there to be made. Pickett choked.

    You know what the other big difference is? A qb that got rid of the ball quickly and accurately.

    Better designs create better opportunities. Is it that you don't understand that or that you don't want to acknowledge it?

    You and a few others are so desperate for the scapegoat. It must be just one guy's fault. You tell yourself that to try to make yourself feel better. It just isn't true. Pickett sucked, but he had plenty of company. The line played poorly. Canada had a poor plan and allowed panic to rule his play-calling. His "bread and butter" play created, at best, short completions with no opportunity for yards after the catch.

    Scapegoat? Now that’s rich. Let me know when I am dreaming up excuses for Kenny like “was he concussed”. Being that receivers were open the play design was fine.

    Blast Furnace started that thread. He has also been as vocal as anybody in blaming the offense's failures in the opener entirely on Pickett, so spare me your nonsense.

    Yes, fans look for scapegoats. If they can blame a loss or losses on one person, they can fool themselves into ignoring their team's other issues. Why do you not know that?

    Never ever blamed it all on Pickett. You are either being willfully dishonest or you are a goldfish. I specifically blamed poor execution as well such as Muth terribly missing a block.

    And don’t accuse others of scapegoating and then write such drivel as Canada’s poor plan allowed panic to rule his play calling.

    So are you just making a captain obvious claim here that it was a team loss including Canada? Win as a team lose as a team blah blah blah? Well duh, so glad we wasted about 20 pages on this.
