With no DK and no Darnell, should they even try passing next week?

Honestly the Steelers may have more success holding Rodgers out and just direct snap to Warren and Gainwell all game with an extra OL to block.

The already limp wristed passing attack is now down to a gnarled arthritic stump. Rodgers would be lucky to break 100 yards passing throwing to MVS and Scotty Miller next week.

Maybe useless Jonnu Smith will save the day. Or maybe it's Alan Lazard's time to shine!

Dylan Cook was a college QB, just sayin’

The offense we will be fielding next Sunday is a laugher. Dumbest shit I’ve ever seen. I might watch. I’ll definitely have my fingers crossed for a loss.

Willis was doing a pretty good job against the Ravens yesterday. I think the Browns secondary is better than the Rats.
Also, AR needs more reps with these "next man up" receivers in order to click and be on the same page.

I hope Calvin makes it back. And they utilize Muth more. And maybe even Wilson.

Stopping 22 will be a top priority.

The pressure is clearly on the Steelers to perform.

Wilson has been blackballed by Rodgers so his buddy MVS can play.

Washington makes a far bigger impact on the ground game than he does the passing. They basically couldn't run the ball to start the season when he wasn't playing much.

By comparison, he may catch 4 passes for like 30 yards in an above average game as a receiver.

I can't decide what's going to happen next week.

They're either going to mimic this week's Cleveland game and be completely inept.

Or they'll be forced to use Muth as the #1 TE and he'll have 150 yards receiving enroute to a strong offensive performance. And then I'll be pissed off all over again that he's been largely ignored all season (I don't think he's an All-Pro by any means, but I do think he's good enough that he should be seeing 5+ passes a game).

I think they should just feed Baby Heyward.

Then give him a big fat contract in the offseason.

You don’t want to lose a talent like that.
