Why did they put Heyward back in that situation.

He went out for I think 1 play to test it. Came right back out
Groin, hamstring and calf issues can be worsened in degree so easily. Returning too early never is a good idea

They are not smart. Forcing an aged vet in a physical part of the game. I don’t get it

Good, I thought I was just seeing things. Good to know I'm not alone.

JFC, that somehow the thought there is that NFL LBers would have to reposition significantly because they could be caught out of position on a play like that and they wouldn't be fast enough to contain the corner and stop a TD?!
As long as Tomlin is coach, we won’t use a true nt… he didn’t even like Hampton when he was there
I hated that call. 2nd and 4 and they should have gone heavy up the gut with Najee to start wearing on them early. He easily gets 2 and maybe the first on that.
It’s like we show things in PS, not to use them in the regular season to “trick them.”
We have a young team. A young QB. Why, even when down early did we give up on the run. **** we didn’t even bother. No passes to TEs, no roll outs. Hey OC it’s not old Ben, dude has some legs.
It’s the same pathetic offensive.
The defense will try to hold on but will only break bc there is no O. Pickens is about to pop. I see it now. **** I would too.

If this year is like last year it's time for regime change. All I'm saying.

Coaching
It’s a lot to the Rooney’s, plus you have to pay Canaduh his million and the same or a little more to his replacement. Deuce looks at a full stadium and lots of TV money and figures he can ride it out.
I get that. But again it's a million down the toilet. If you are putting someone who at best looked ok and at worst completely incompetent.....over a million. That has to be confidence from Tomlin.

Nothing like being out played by mister irrelevant. Also sad is the niner fans were way more vocal than Steeler fans.

It's because it's trickery.

Ultimately, it's just one game against a potential juggernaut of a team, but it still resembled too much of the same **** we've seen for several years now.
I have confidence the defense will be better, though a groin injury at Heyward's age could ruin his season.
I have little confidence the offense will be much better. Mostly because of Tomlin and Canada, but also because I'm not sure what they have in Kenny right now.
He was terrible today, though the protection wasn't great and Canada's route concepts may be the easiest in league history for defenses to figure out.
Still one game, but there's no reason to believe another non-losing season is not the best we can hope for.

Now see, how could we know for sure that eh players weren't put in the right position to be competitive when the players failed to execute? As much as I hate Canada's oversimplified offense, he wasn't the one over/underthrowing receivers, missing blocks, giving up on routes, etc. Austin wasn't out there getting burnt by Ayuk (sp). Although, he probably could have made a better adjustment (if he made any) when it came to covering him.
Terrible punts, terrible ST in general.
I'd say this **** show we witnessed today was equally on the players.
Blaming everything on the coaching, as if the players are all premiere players who couldn't be fallible, is overlooking ALL that we saw today.
I may have had one or two, but are you giving Canada a pass?
Pippysqueak? The 1980’s called and they want their insult back.
Never blamed everything on coaching. But with the off-season we had the coaching failed this team to put the team in the best position to be competitive.
For one thing they brought back an inept coach who hasn't been successful in the NFL level. Then they let a good D coach go instead of promoting him.
Then they didn't make any adjustments during the game to again be competitive.
Every year this discussion ultimately takes place and we ground hog continuously have to readjust our initial season outlook. Or at least I do.
I see the premise is we are not hard enough on the players. But they came and gone with the same outcome.
No I say some some aren't hard enough on the coaches.
The ones guiding the ship to a substandard standard of mediocrity.
Hell No! But, I'm not giving the players a pass for their piss poor play just because the coordinator sucks.
