Initial Thoughts on bungle Game

[bigben]

I’ll also add, both these coordinators suck! Terrell Austin does what he’s told taking orders from Tomlin. This guy got booted in Detroit and Cincinnati as their DCs. He was so bad in Cincinnati he didn’t last the season.
Next you have Arthur Smith who did nothing in Atlanta and his playcalling here stinks. Very predictable with absolutely zero innovation. He’s a joke!
The middle of the field is ignored for the better part of three quarters. What a total waste!
Tomlin couldn’t recognize a competent coordinator or position coach if his life depended on it.
The OL Coach Meyer is totally incompetent. These OL regressed throughout the season.
What a joke!
Let’s hurry and get this stupid season over with.

Couldn't have said it any better.
Al we heard was Smith>Canada. Derrick Henry was a stud with Smith so he's gonna change the run game and unlock Harris to finally be the guy they drafted.

Run game got worse under Smith despite upgrades to the line and QB.
30 year old Derrick Henry looked better than he ever looked under Smith.

Terrell Austin is possibly worse than Smith

Even special teams is falling off. outside of Boswell of course.
Fun fact in 2024 Boswell was 3 field goals shy of the all time single season record.
He made 41 FG, just 8 fg shy of the past two seasons combined.

And if your aunt had balls, she'd be your uncle. You keep myopically complaining about drops in a single game while ignoring the overall drop numbers in 2024, because those facts don't fit your narrative.

It was the most recent game. A two point loss where the receivers dropped 4 passes, failed to make plays on 2 others and fumbled a punt return while the OL allowed 4 sacks and provided mostly poor run blocking. I think myopic is blaming the loss on the QB.

As I've already said this: "The team is also lacking in other areas," I think that you may not know what the word myopic means.

And I really like how you'll blame the 4 sacks completely on the OL, and put none of the blame on your hero. No myopia there.

Have you watched the games? The pocket collapses quickly and consistently. In pass blocking, the OL should be a bow that resists being flexed. The Steelers OL quickly turns into a circle.
