I like Fields, he's super mobile and if he can just find his shit he could be a massive steal. But I don't know, this entire coaching staff from Tomlin to the new OC and the QB coach, I'm not confident at all that this team is capable of figuring it out.

Too much roster turnover which leads to very little cohesion. They need to burn the midnight oil.

I miss the Sullivan/Faulkner/Rudolph offense at the end of last year. I think this is going to be a sizable downgrade honestly.
Oh my was Broderick Jones TERRIBLE. And they only have 1 receiver.

It's Pittsburgh tradition. Extend dipshit coaches.
Tomlin, Sullivan...whatever the f*** the Pirates are doing.

There will be "I told you so's" Bet on it
Canada was a buffoon. But the fans should have put him in that position. The REAL problem remains, with a nice, shiny new contract in tow.

He still can’t read a defense he left a ton of plays on the field today
The Steelers are what the Penguins would have been if they didn’t get rid of Bylsma. Tomlin sucks and it’s crazy how many Steelers fans are in denial about that guy.

It's hard to make any conclusions about Fields yet. He's every bit the athlete he's cracked up to be, but he's slow in processing. Basically, a very poor man's Lamar Jackson.
It's also hard to make conclusions about Arthur Smith yet, but I hate what I saw out there from his offense.

I'm not a Tomlin fan either but since he's not going anywhere there's no point in chasing a lost cause. I'm not exactly thrilled with Arthur Smith but he has to be better than Canada.

Wow we actually agree on something for once.
Fields is a dumpster fire (like myself and few other here said months ago) and the fans will turn on him in about 4 weeks.

No one is in denial, we know what's going on. But it aint not gonna change, so no point in talking bout it. You either accept it or you root for another team.

Not necessarily true. Look at how the Pens and Steelers reacted when Hextall and Canada were booed out of the stadium. Are either here today?
Art just needs some heat for it to be a topic.
Yeah I would certainly like to be trying to temper my expectations for the offense instead of trying to convince myself they’ll put things together. The line and RT look rough right now but I think a young line was always going to look rough at first. Especially with Jones playing out of position and with an elbow injury that is apparently impacting him.
The QB situation though…I just don’t know about that one. The small sample on Wilson looked an awful lot like the guy we saw in Denver. And so far in the games Fields looks an awful lot like the guy we’ve seen in Chicago. I’ll try to remain optimistic but not sure how much hope I have for either of those guys.

He schemed up guys open 2 weeks in a row. Today JF missed 2 tds.
They ate going to run and throw deep off of play action
You can still be a fan and not accept it. There are plenty of Pens fans on this board who don’t accept it.
But most people around the area that talk about the Steelers act like they have as good a shot to win the Super Bowl as anyone else. It’s weird how so many people have their heads in the sand about this management group, or the Pirates, even.

Yeah, well that's not gonna happen. Tomlin is viewed as an institution. We know why he was hired in 1st place. And while he accorded himself well for a few years with another coaches players we ALL know what's going on.
It's obvious. lol

I don’t know if jones is playing out of position I think troy is the better Lt. jones gets way to high in pass blocking

I thought Russ looked the worse of the two but it's not like Fields did nearly enough to do anything to make Tomlin revisit the "pole position". Thought his unit moved the ball better though.
I'd give Russ like a D and Fields like a C

If you can't accept it then you're just a glutton for punishment.
Again no one believes we are a SB contender. But we are competitive within the division. I think that's a very fair statement. We went 5-1 last year without Burrow playin. Not bad with an anemic offense.

It's almost like Derry Maine as if a Clown lives in the town and has everyone hypnotized in delusion.

TBTH I think the national media is mesmerized far more than the local guys or any of the fans who don't have an inane agenda.
