Did anyone here expect a w

I thought it was a toss up and that we would be competitive. It wasn't even a game and the entire team and coaching staff should be ashamed. Personally I am about done with this group. I don't see the drive or talent necessary from Ben anymore and I don't think the coaching staff has had a fresh idea in years. They get the rest of this year and when they fall flat I would blow this team up.

 

Seattle is a brutally physical team, Patsies are all finesse now, they don't hit you in the mouth anymore. Seattle going to dry dog us and I'm not going to watch this felony they going to put on us.

 

I'm not a Ben fan at all except when he is on the field. In his defense, he has earned a lot from his play, he doesn't deserve to be stuck with this incompetence of a coaching staff. If you were a vet, 2x SB winner and one of the best in history it would be very hard to had to deal with our coaching staff. He knows we have no direction and game plan.

 

TOMLIN has to go. Getting beat exact same way. Ben wasn't sacked, Ben missed throws is not the problem. Not enough weapons and Tomlin not going 4th and less than 1 made the Team 1 dimensional and then they had to throw. No clever plays no nothing by Tomlin. Too many drops, and it was so obvious no real game plan and how does a whole team disappear with the center all by himself.

If Tomlin opened with a good game plan for players to execute and buy in on it could have been a different story. Team didn't quit. Kelly and a few made some bad plays. Both sides some stupid penalties but I think the problem is Tomlin. And Bush was a positive. Once the running game was off the board as an option, Tomlin made it too easy for Pats. Players looked bad at points because the coaching staff did not have them in position to succeed. If your Boss drops you off in Philly and you need to be in Pittsburgh you just ain't gonna look good.

 

I didn’t expect and win but I didn’t expect the lack of effort.

This team is better than what they showed last night.

 

As soon as Tomlin did the field goal in 3rd, with less than a yard on fourth, Steelers had to be a pass only option
destroying a chance for a comeback and. 6:42 left i think. I really blame Tomlin, play calling did not put the players in position to succeed.
We didn't see one single sign Tomlin had a game plan for the game outside of Pats receiving first. That's it. Just poor play calling putting players in position to fail. There were dropsies, but no sacks. I blame Tomlin for killing any chances in the 3rd.

 

Absolutely not!!

 

Dropsies yes, but i didn't see a lack of effort as much as just poor game plan and then being so far behind you could no longer make running a believable option. Am curious about a backup center being the only one not to move. Shocked no reporters asked about that play. Lack of a serious receiving options and Tomlin poor game planning not good. I thought the players showed some effort to the very end. But the coach has to put the players in position for success and just think Tomlin is the culprit more than lack of effort myself.

 

I didn't like that Tomlin after game speech. Did it come across to anyone else that he wasn't taking much blame himself?

 

Yes.

 

Seattle gave up 400 passing yards to Andy Dalton

 

Hello everyone, this is my first post here so take it easy on the big fella. Cool.
This lose is hard to swallow. Also, I''m getting really sick of Tom Brady. Hah-hah.

 

That Ross kid (wr2) had career day. Think Mongrief is ready to step up?

 

Nope, James Washington might be ready to step up though

 

I like to see more of D. Johnson over Switzer also.

 

Maybe Moncrief showed up ready to play futbol. Might explain not using his hands.

 

i fully expected us to pull out the win and I will say this many here did too. All the talk before the draft about AB, Bell and ben's leadership had many many many here thinking we were gonna be pretty damn good. I for one expected Ben to come out hot and knock the Cheats off their high horse. I also fell into how much better our defense was going to be with Bush.

I had no idea we we going to start a AAF safety vs a guy who likes to tear up our safety position. It is funny(kinda) that Kelly wears the same number as Smith did when he ran his mouth about Brady and then Brady made him look so bad. I also had no clue that Washington was going to be bench material for most of the first half.....still can't figure that out. I never thought Moncrief would forget how to catch either.

I liked our chances of going there and winning I just can't believe we looked that bad.............

 

I always expect a W

 

I actually would have been surprised with a win. Not shocked but surprised.

Instead I was dumbfounded. That game was not just a loss, which would have been disappointing, but it like stole all my enthusiasm for the rest of the season.

 

Didn't think we were going to win vs the Pats, but that was an embarrassment.

How can Tomlin prepare his team in that manner?!

 

got to smack the patriots around. Tomlin is a pansy... kicking a fg lol gtfo


Play aggressive and smack them in the mouth. Take the penalties and have plan B/C/D/E vs these guys. They know your moves but whatever. Seattle time

 

All but 26 of us did.............

I was so disgusted by the whole Brown going to the Pats scheme that I didn't watch one second of the game. The only unknown this year is which NFC team will the Patriots defeat in the Super Bowl this year.

 

No, but I thought it would be competitive. Hard to watch. Way to have the team ready.
