    they most likely won't be here, any of them. WR's - one of those other guys - Skowronek - shows some promise.

    OFFENSE will the MAIN FOCUS in the offseason.

    Russ can cook, he needs some help.

    He needs some help, but you can't fumble being greedy at the 2 yard line, and then throw a pick 6.

    Unforgivable today, I can't even fathom the total points swings those two huge errors he made had on the game.

    Who else has made big plays at WR besides Austin, he also leads the team in TD receptions :rolleyes:.

    Austin is a good #3.... problem is we have too many 3's and 4's..... and no 2. And #1 is out with a hamstring injury.

    Wtf?

    He's literally the only WR on the team who doesn't wear 14, who can do anything.

    Possible 21 point swing if I am recalling correctly. However, you don’t know how the game would have played out.

    True, the butterfly effect etc - but you have to look at the percentages of the likely outcomes in those situations, that's all you can do.

    The likely point swings and momentum shifts of those two plays combined is more than likely easily enough to be the difference between wiinning and losing. And that's what happened.

    You must have watched a different game than I did. Austin made some spectacular plays.

    What I'm saying is... Steelers need Pickens, [ DaVante Adams, Tee Higgins or Deebo Samuel here at #2 ] & Calvin Austin.

    Those players are irrelevant if they don't have a QB that can get them the ball

    I think our true # 2 receiver comes from the draft but I’m not sure if they sign Pickens to a second contract so we will be right back to square one.

    Russ can get them the ball fine... if we get a better LT, LG and RT.

    Pickens is signed through '25.... so we got him for one more year.

    I'm so disapointed more than ahything

    Austin has made more than enough many times out of limited opportunites. Did it again today, we feed the ball to Harris who can't make a play if his life depended on it. Harris had had endless oppurtunites to dominate, to win games, to make the difference, he simply doesn't have the tools.

    They don't extend the guy, then decide to run the offense through him...make it make sense...

    Russ is 90, he's not a short nor long term answer

    Russ had one bad game... and it's time to ditch him? Lamar wiped out several times this year to Browns, Raiders and other stellar teams..... and Ravens fans are still OK with him.

    It's not about one bad game. It's the fact that he's 36 and not under contract. QBs fall off a cliff quickly. I don't even blame him for today, it's about the the laws of averages here... nothing matters unless we have a franchise QB and even if Wilson gives us a solid two more years of production it's still meaningless. This roster needs torn apart and rebuilt. I'm tired of people saying we're built to win now and this the results we're given.
