Gonna find out a lot about the actual quality of the team in the 2nd half.

Gonna have to out score the better teams down the stretch, the defense is never gonna keep any of these teams under mid 20s in points.

Yep, haven’t been impressed with the offense this game either. Washington, who sucks against most teams in run defense, looked better against the Steelers as the half went on and the passing game is out of sync…not an impressive team today

Commanders are bottom in the league in Def rush ypg, and the steelers are averaging 3.4 ypc on them so far.

And the passing game isn't exactly working either.

Our zone is pathetic, receivers running wide open on simple plants and post routes.

Why tomlin loves it so much is so baffling.

Thus defense is so damn overrated it's pathetic.

Well this shouldn't be a surprise, even the best teams in the league are being forced to outscore oppenents instead of relying on defense.

Steelers are gonna have to score 30+ to win this one.

What was Tomlin doing over the bye week? The coaching has been terrible, pathetic game plans against this team have been awful…

I'm not mad at the defense. The offense has got nothing going. You can't expect the defense to shut down an offense of this caliber all day.

The line isn't beating a bad run defense. Every receiver outside of Pickens has been bad. They only got 14 points because of the muffed punt.

That isn't going to cut it against a team that can score.

How can you be not mad at the defense? They allowed two straight fairly long TD drives. It's not like the offense had the ball between those two drives (the drive at the end of the half doesn't count.)

That looked like a pretty clear face mask on Wilson there.

Thank God for Pickens, only guy that can make any kind of play happen on this sorry ass team.

They're also the most paid (overpaid) in the league. If they're gonna be paid to make a difference in games, they better show up and earn it. No excuses.
