They need to shit can Austin. He's thanking Matt Canada this season because that unit is SEVERELY underperforming until his direction. The offense is taking heat off of him.

Ehh...

We knew the secondary would be dodgy outside of Fitzpatrick, particularly if Peterson was losing to Father Time. I think what's happening there isn't a huge surprise.

ILB room was going great before the injuries hit.

OLBs + DL... I dunno. Lotta games they've got gashed (but then no Heyward for a lot of it), lotta games where the OLBs pressured but didn't do much (but teams can get it out quick + and they have won games).

I'm not sure we're doing that much worse than expected and I look at the situation and scream fix the secondary. I mean, I do have some big questions for Austin and Tomlin about how wide open things look at times, but there's only so much I'm going to expect out of a defence that has a ropey secondary.
 
I really can't put any blame on the defense or Austin. They give up a lot of yards, but that's partially because they are on the field all the f***ing time. They are 7th in points/game and T-2nd in turnovers. And that's despite some obvious personnel issues in the secondary and injuries to Heyward, Fitz, and the ILB.

They aren't 'elite', but they are a solid defense who's been asked to do way too much.

Good stat. I didn't know that. Puts all the yards they give up into perspective.

The stat where they suck in the oppo half and turn it on in their own is frustrating, but also plays to their favour imo.

Actually....I f***ed it up. Sorted it wrong. They are 8th worst :laugh:

Still, they aren't getting scored on and are turning the ball over. Can't complain IMO.

I hope they go with someone with no ties to pittsburgh or the steelers.

Saw someone say Dorsey, i’d be for that based on the numbers his offense did with the bills
 
New coordinators need to focus on running the ball correctly in the right situations. We can for sure do that with success. They also need to pass off of that with play action and Friermuth.

I still don't know what Canada was thinking this entire time.

Tomlin has sunk this org to such pathetic depths, that the Browns are clowning on them.

Starkey continues to call out Tomlin, about f***ing time someone in the Pgh media speaks the truth about him.

Pressure needs to be put on AR2 from the cowardly Pgh media if there is ever a chance of being free from this guy.

Joe Starkey: Matt Canada’s future has been decided. What about Mike Tomlin’s?

Usually, it’s the Cleveland Browns who fire a coach after a loss to the Steelers, not the other way around. But the Steelers have been bucking a...

Fair warning, if anyone is upset by truth and reality, avoid reading these quotes:

The Steelers have gone six years without a playoff win. That’s their longest streak since one that began in the 1960s. They are in the midst of being outscored by their opponents for the third consecutive season, something that hasn’t happened since the final three years of the Chuck Noll era. They are 28th in the NFL in scoring and at 16.6 points per game have a real chance to be the lowest-scoring Steelers team since 1970.

Simply put, the Steelers don’t win big games anymore. Where does one draw the line on too many years without a playoff win? This year would mark seven. Would the line be eight? Ten? Thirteen?

Tomlin showed extreme and misguided loyalty to Canada, keeping him well beyond his expiration date. Promoting Canada to coordinator two-and-a-half years ago proved to be the biggest mistake of Tomlin’s 17-year tenure.

his work over the past six years has been closer to a D if we’re grading on a curve — and we should be, because the Steelers allegedly hold themselves to a higher standard than your typical NFL franchise.

Everybody now is asking: How will Pickett look outside of Canada’s offense? I’m not sure that’s the pertinent question. I think we should be asking this: Even though Canada’s gone, will Pickett still be playing in handcuffs on account of Tomlin’s live-in-our-fears offensive philosophy?

The Steelers committed a dereliction of duty in putting a novice NFL coordinator with just one outstanding college season on his resume in charge of their hoped-for franchise quarterback

All of the bad things I have ever said about AR2 I would totally take back if this team bombs and he decides not to extend Tomlin.

The last 6 years are what Tomlin's career would look like without a stud Ben propping him up. He legitimately walked into the greatest HC position of all time. Not only was the team ready built to win, but when that team aged out, he still had a young future HOF QB left. Totally squandered his career, and specifically the Killer B era. They should have won something.
