I don't know if Kenny had his best day we can overcome the number of points our D gave up. And I agree with you that Kenny was bad today. So our entire offense was bad. Same as our defense. Add in coaching. Plus the ticket holders bailed on the game.
The punting, 3nouts, and ints sure did not help the D. Seemed like SF only had to travel half the fieldI don't know if Kenny had his best day we can overcome the number of points our D gave up. And I agree with you that Kenny was bad today. So our entire offense was bad. Same as our defense. Add in coaching. Plus the ticket holders bailed on the game.
What makes you think Pickett will be fine? He has started 14 NFL games. He has 8 TD and 11 INT. He hasn’t played a great game. He really hasn’t had any good games. Sure, he has made some nice plays here and there. Fact is, he has barely been average. If he wasn’t a Pitt product and wasn’t a Steeler you’d be calling him a bust. Pickett has provided no evidence that he’ll “be fine.”
A forced 3 and out would be nice at some point by our D this season. No? Watt got his sacks though. A few forced fumbles and recovered one. We have that anyway.
He puts in the work and looked much improved in the pre-season. In the pre-season he was accurate today he was all over the place and made horrible reads. Toward the end of last season didnt he go like 250 passes w/o an INT? The steelers were also leading the lead in TOP. Their biggest issue after the bye was not getting TDs and settling for FGs. He brought us back 2x last year so he has some dog in him. There is no excuse for todays game but I think / hope it was an anamoly this year.
I think the system is very bad when you compare it to well thought systems. How many easy passes did Brock Purdy make today. The only easy stuff I saw today for the Steelers was on the TD 2 min drill and the drive leading up to the horrible decision to force the ball into two safety coverage
So many guys are left wide open by this team in zone. You see it over and over again. That stuff drives me bananas.
I noticed this. The middle of the field and the flats are constantly left open. I think it’s an aggressive front 7 weakness.
That offensive system is something else. It helps winning the battle up front, but those receivers were open and Purdy was in a rhythm very early. Night and day with what we do on offense.
Agreed they definitely lost the game up front. But the seam skiny post/slant was there for them open like 7-11.
Check out the tweet from Pickett's and Roethlisberger's passing charts from 2021 and the opener. Speaks volumes about the offense.
oh , well allow me to retort... Tomlin Blows donkeys.
Maybe next week they won’t be but today they were really bad. And KP looked like a deer in the headlights.
He either didn't trust the offensive line or was worried about the pass rush...maybe both. There were just so many plays he left out on the field today.
After the way he ended 2022 and his preseason it was the last thing I expected. I’m second guessing everything about him right now.
Almost there. But I expected this offense to still flop around like a fish out of water.
You guys remember they had to win like six of the last eight just to break 500 last season?
You can't have your body ready for peak all out performance by half *** preparing it to go 100% explosive for a full game. Things tear off. Geesh 1 full game around the league and everyone is dropping like flies.
