Will Arod continue to play great against a team he is less familiar with?
Will the Oline learn to block?

Will the Defense be an Efense again!

This week we face the thunderous seattle seagulls or something... they will be doing the dreaded west to east coast trip

Our two chief division Rivals are facing meh squads, Cleveland and Jacksonville , both at home... so a win ensures we keep pace with them both likely winning

Its a low grade game when tiebreakers are considered, an NFC game we don't share with our division rivals.

The SeaTweeties are 0-1 Sam Darnold isn't looking spiffy thus far... hopefully our D isn't the cure for his ails...

Our chief injury concerns are at the S position... if Elliot is out they may need to sign a bigger name FA
 
It's a game we should win. JSN seems to be their whole offense. I don't see Rodgers repeating his performance, but he shouldn't have to. Both lines need to step up, but Darnold is not a threat to run and their RB is not as good as Hall
 
A low grade game? Tomlin is an expert at blowing games like this. O line needs to block. I suggest Jones get a job on a food truck.

If the rumors about looking at Tyreek Hill as our #2 are true they better pull out the stops to get him. The reason I say this is Rodgers will not be able to repeat this performance if the Seahawks(or later in the season against someone else) are a good man to man team(I don't keep up with them). We have DK and that's it. Unless CA3 has improved exponentially and Roman Wilson has as well we are going to be in deep poo offensively. They will be shutdown when we run into a good man team and just leave AR with DK.

Aaron Rodgers won that game yesterday. I know, I know Boz...yeah of course Boz but in reality AR carried the team yesterday and that can't continue.

We had bad O-line play that gave up 4 sacks
We had NO run game to speak of
We had NO run defense to speak of

The Jets won that game by all metrics. I was over at PFF looking at the stats, it was so lopsided if you look at those stats and didn't know the final score you would say 100% the Jets won.

Rodgers was not brought here to carry the Steelers the way that atrocious Jet team of 23-24 demanded of him, but that's exactly what he had to do yesterday. He's 41 going on 42...the Steelers coaching staff better get their **** together quick and get him some legit # 2 help.
 
Broderick Jones really concerns me. I re-watched that game and man did Jones get abused. His footwork and mechanics looked horrible as he was off balance and had no chance against those speed rushers constantly getting pushed back into the QB.
This guy is a huge liability right now and I don’t know if he can fix his mechanics and footwork but they better do something or Rodgers is going to get injured.

As bad as Jones was, did you notice there was NO help given to him.?

Why not a TE chip here and there?

Pat Meyer is the worst OL coach round, but definitely a Tomlin yes man.

I hope B.Jones can work through this, despite the coaching ineptitude.




Salute the nation

It’s hard to acquire a player in season and get them on that moving train, especially with the historic special defense they will be joining.

Granted the train is only moving at 1-2 mph but hard to hop that train nonetheless with Mike as the conductor.

Where oh where will find a guy that can’t cover or tackle to seamlessly mesh into this historic defense? Maybe Senquez Golsen is finally healed up and game ready…maybe

It is not our coaching staff’s job to coach guys up, obviously

We require non blinking, finished products that are already aboard “the train”
