We don’t live in our fears. Unless those fears are losing, then yes we live in them. But not other fears, like giving up 200 plus yards on Def, or giving the other team the ball when we’re are in the RZ. We don’t fear those things. Obviously

That my friend boggles my mind. It made absolutely no sense at all. You know doing what every team they've played the last 3 years does to them. Stack the line. It's just idiotic they leave these massive gaps all over because they refuse to change.
My last two mock drafts had me taking Siaki Ika or Mazi Smith. Put one of those guys at the 0, Heyward and Leal at DE, TJ and Highsmith at OLB, upgrade Bush's spot and this **** stops.
Immediately.
So you're living in your fears?
Lmao.
Pickens is clearly the best WR on the team yet they hardly go to him.
The game is on Mitch. He threw the 3 picks. The run defense also wasn’t great either.
Silver lining- I liked the aggressiveness in the offense. We need to see more of it, but the ball needs to be taken care of period. I’m presuming we may see a Mitch/Mason show next week against the Panthers.

What, his three interceptions?
Exactly, the Steelers don't need a guy like Hargrave.
Week in and out Chico delivers quality assessment that I almost completely agree with. It would be nice if one of the major Pittsburgh media picked it up and I mean that sincerely. It's really good football analysis. Now obviously they wouldn't let you speak the real truth but....
That aside. I rewatched the final sequence of the game. Cause sometimes in my rage I don't really remember as they are. So on First and Ten in a situation where there is literally not a ****** chance in hell they are throwing and a First Down might as well be TD. Bush and Jack are five yards off the ball acting like it's first and ten in the First quarter. They gave them 6. Second down the Nose makes a good play limits it to one. Third and three. They bring up Spillane on the all important 3rd down which again they are conceding they are not going to throw. But he literally blitzes C. Sort of. Which basically left B wide open about as easy as it gets. Now I guess that could have been Spillane but. Still. See I don't view Trubisky's errors in real time thevsame as that bullshit where you have time to think. Yeah let's play it base here cause we don't want to give up a TD. Like WTF. I don't know what happens when these clowns run film but I'd truly love to see that.Get a room.
Reporter asked did younfeel they were going to have to run that they wouldn't pass in that situation.
Tomlin: I think everyone in the building knew that. Really. Is that how it was called when you look back at it?

Shemp?
It's like watching my son's high school defense sometimes. I mean scheme-wise. So frustrating.
I wouldn't say that the OC went away from the run in the second half -- they just had no success with it. Take out the two QB scrambles, and they ran it 18 times for 49 yards, 2.7 YPA. With a long carry of eight yards.
First half: 3, 3, 5, 1, 1, 1, 7, 8, 1, 1, 3, 2
Second half: 0, 4, 1, -1, 1, 8
The run sucked. All day.
After two nice scrambles out of Pickett on passing plays, Canada started up with the run-run-pass-punt sequences twice, on the first two possessions of the game, and it didn't work, of course. Just stupid.
As far as the rest of the game, once again it boils down to turnovers. The Steelers were minus-3, and lost the game by 2 points. That's one area that KP had improved upon greatly in the last few weeks, and that's why the Steelers won some games. I thought Mitch played pretty well, except for the turnovers. But that's a HUGE exception. He's the #1 game goat and the main reason they lost. You can't give the ball away 3 times like that and expect to win, even against backup quarterbacks. The Steelers just aren't good enough to overcome it.
1. We gave Harvin every chance… he hasn’t developed and he needs to hit the door
2. And Bubbles should be right behind him
3. The run d’s issues is the scheme.. that being said why in the **** were we not trying to stop the run against a ****** passing team? Austin is just another yes man running a ****** tomlin scheme…
4. Tomlin virtually admitted that they know coach crybaby runs off of primarily analytic driven data, but then true to form we run in the same scenarios and pass in the same scenarios… maybe Tomlin needs an analytic guy or two too… to tell him to quit playing predictable vs tgat team…
5. Mitch trabisky threw caution to the wind and forced stuff and got burned… that’s horrible for Kenny Pickett and all future qbs under tomlin cause it probably reinforces Tomlins apparent theory that we should never ever take chances until the end of the game… there is a happy medium..
Also thats why we suck in the red zone… we don’t take any chances.. we play for 3…. We are stupid ********…
TJWatt should have been shut down for the season… he ain’t healthy and we are risking his long term health playing him like this
Why, exactly is alualu still playing? … he hasn’t been good and we have younger guys that need a look before we invest in that middle in the draft
If we don’t take an olineman in the first two picks, I will happily join anyone who wants to physically do a protest down southside..( assuming we drink afterwards lol)
Pickett leaving the game probably was a panic move because he might have shown a concussion symptom and everyone is still on pins and needles after the Tua thing… I wouldn’t read too much into it just yet…

Didn't see the game today but saw the Pickett headline. This **** is destroying the Franchise Quarterback.
Kid's awesome. A real talent. What does the Steelers Nation do? Media and most of the fan-base cry and scream and pitch an epic f*cking fit for Trubidor to be benched and for the Rook to play right now. The dickless coaching staff and Rooney give in and do just that. Offensive coordinator does not adapt the scheme and hangs the kid's *** out to dry.
Just as i have warned about in several posts and feared. Two (2) concussions this year already. Rookie year.
Once in a generation talent. ---> #TomliCanadagrinder

Mitch had a good game overall and was the reason why this offense moved the ball at all today. He pushed the ball downfield which is tough to do with this very limited scheme. First INT was not his fault. Second was his fault but was a great play by the LB.
Third INT was his fault too but it seemed to be a pre-determined deep shot. Problem is the play was stupid. It was a play action that the ravens had no reason to respect, so they didn't. The safety was able to stay deep and help.
I see people giving the defense a pass. Why? Oh because the ravens only scored 16 and it was the steeler offense that should have scored more. Well, the ravens D was in that same boat. The difference is they blocked a FG and had 3 INTs. In other words, they actually made plays. No, the steeler defense was not good today. Just because the raven offense struggled without their QB does not equate to a good performance.
Devin Bush is a bum. How insane is it that they choose to play Spillane in pass situations? Bush is small. We knew that when we drafted him. Nobody expected him to be Levon Kirkland out there, but he dame sure could have been James Farrior, a smart, athletic player who made tons of plays. But no, Bush is not a football player, he's just a guy who runs fast. Makes you wish he was as good as Larry Foote. At least he was in the right place.
Myles Jack is just a guy. He's Larry Foote. Not bad so long as we get a good LB to play with him in tandem.
Dionte Johnson is NOT a deep threat. Stop trying to make that a thing. Yeah, he's fast enough and he can get open but he doesn't track the ball well and doesn't know how to box out to win contested balls.
George Pickens is a deep threat. You can see that it's natural for him and if you get the ball near him, it's his. Why are they trying to re-invent the wheel with him?
The bright spot of this loss is it pokes a hole in the notion that this OL and the run game and the offense in general is pointing up. It's not. They just had a stretch of bad opponents. The Ravens defense didn't fall for any stupid tricks and is too big to be moved by the steelers mediocre talents.
Once the run game is in check, the pass game has no shot because it only works if the defense is worried about the run.
Here's what i want for the rest of the season. I want the steelers to come away with honest evaluations of their problems. It's crazy that with so much money spent on defense, they have so many needs. They need a top CB. No more spare parts. The OL is NOT fixed. Canada is over his head and needs to go. Be open to the possibility that Warren is better than Najee.

Why we didn't sell out to STOP the run is mind-boggling to me. As you stated. A first down might as well be a TD. We needed a stop there. I wonder who called the defensive there. And obviously, Tomlin was on board with it. Crazy.

Bush was a goat. He got blocked and that was his man in the huge run that lead to points, and blocked in general. His role has been reduced, but a goat he is.

Tape, no one gave the defense a pass. Absolutely no one. They let a nobody third stringer drive the Ravens multiple times in the second half.
