    Me personally was schematics.
    23/24 passes were under 10yds. Bears were missing 5 starters on defense.
    Thanks for participating

    I mean it's all of it. Mason wasn't good enough (great pick by the CB, but was still a terrible throw) add the fumble. Scheme was the same old crap. The last couple of plays on the last drive were a joke. Can just hear Tomlin before the drive telling Mason not to make a mistake or be cautious. Defense didn't do much outside of the early TD. Just a bad team all the way around...how many times are you going to let a quick passing game eat you up before you pivot? I just don't believe the talent isn't there.

    Time for Mike "Mitch McConnell" Tomlin to move along.

    Also,
    A lot of talk about open wrs that Mason didn’t see.
    Correct me if I am wrong, wasn’t Arod doing the same thing?

    I still don’t like our dink and dunk offense. That offense isn’t helped out with Mason going 1/6 on downfield attempts (plus the pick he had on a longer attempt).

    People are getting so used to putrid defense that they are ignoring it. 3 points before the half were just handed to without any fight. We have seen all qb’s mediocre or good just drive down the field and score. It’s a surprise when the other team gets off without scoring. The defense gave away 31 points despite bears qb missing open receivers. Then there are little things like Metcalf not trying to prevent the interception on the sideline despite having 5 inches and 40 ilbs on the defender. Just try to nudge him out when you know you cannot catch the ball. Not kicking the field goal and going for a tush push. I am not sure the tush push was reviewed but it looked like first down. Having illegal formation that brought back 22 yard run by Mason. Calvin Austin not knowing to go outside with 30 seconds remaining. Mason fumbling and missing Calvin Austin on a bomb. Tomlin apparently wants offense to control chew up clock so defense isn’t exposed. 28 points should be enough to win most games, but this Tomlin’s defense just plain sucks. They will not get a stop when the offense needs it. They must have the worst percentage of giving up 3rd and long of any team in the nfl.

    Listening to the radio broadcast yesterday it was said that the Steelers have had the first coming out half time five times this year. Four times they have punted and one time the drive ended on an interception. Other teams adjust at halftime. The Steelers’ coaches can’t keep up

    It looked like Metcalf had a step on the CB the ball was under thrown on the interception.

    I think they said it has been over 60 games were the Steelers haven't scored over 7 points in the first quarter.

    Think about that. Prepared???

    Surprised so many people picked defense in a game where they scored a TD.

    That should be an almost guaranteed win.

    But the offense sucks. Crazy that we went into our 2nd year in a row without caring about having a WR2. Make us very easy to defend. Particularly when we're behind. Just make sure DK doesn't beat you.

    Not anyone's fault, but losing a TO due to injury at the end of the game also sucks.

    I agree to about 80% the other 20 would be again guys not paying attention to their job. I remember on offense I saw a pass I want to say Austin where he puked and got a 1st down on a like 8 yard scamper. Dk was right near him and you could see the defender didnt care about anyone other than DK, that was his guy and he made him fight for every blade of grass. Our DB's stand there defending a zone with no one in it. Echols releases Moore assuming the safety will pick him up and then stands there watching Williams or the guy on the outside who had a cb on him so who knows what he was thinking. Malik Harrison instead of tracking the ball carrier runs straight up into a block, no you job is the running back not to get blocked .

    Mason. Don’t mind the turnovers, but the starting quarterback must find a way to win at the end.

    Surprised???

    They gave up 31 points!

    By any measure whatsoever, that's not getting it done. One big splash play doesn't negate their overall ineptitude.
