Right but you can keep them off the field if you put drives together. Making a bad D play this much isn’t good.

I really don't get who made that call. Was it Tomlin trying to reign in Canada in the second half??
They started real good, were a lot more diversified in their play calls, took some deep shots and the running game was working. Then the second half starts and they go back to the same stupid game plan that produced shit the first two games.
I don't get it

All in all this is probably best case scenario, if they're going to lose they need to be humbled in doing so.
They need to be 2-6 at best heading into the bye to have any hope of them being willing to experiment after the break

Man I’m pretty over Tomlin right now. That punt and the 4th and 5 from the Cleveland 40 were f***ing cowardly.
The more they lose, the closer they are to playing Pickett though. So it’s not all bad.

It's not Heyward, like on one play the center was holding him so bad, Heyward got up and was like WTF....
The Middle linebackers are just plain horrible. So many tackles being blown through, not there and so much being carried beyond contact. There's no great 1 on 1 tackles, and even 2/3 defenders on the the ball carrier being taken well past the point of contact.

He did something similar last game. He starts running and he has the room to reach the sticks, but then he slows down for some stupid reason and ends up getting caught and tackled. I don’t get it.

Or he starts running out of the pocket when its perfectly fine (I believe they highlighted that once tonight.)

The 1st down playcalls today for the Steelers are split 14-8 between running and passing on 1st down. Only 4 of those runs were short yard gains that resulted in 2nd and long for the offense. They've gotten significant yardage on 1st down (7 or more yards) on way more 1st downs than no yardage on 1st down.
The play calling on 1st down isn't an issue. It seems like the issue with play calling after that. Before that catch by Freiermuth, Trubisky hadn't had a completion of 15 yards since the 1st half. It's the same issue as last week, conservative play calling and a QB too scared to go deep. It wasn't until this drive that Trubisky started being aggressive.

The body language of the players is deteriorating fast.
Regardless of who hasn't played well, the lid on the lockeroom is getting ready to blow sooner rather than later.
Gonna be some spicy quotes over the next few weeks.
