I don’t think we was expecting them to run.
Were you also not expecting them to pass, you freakin moron.

So they took a game lightly.

Poorly coached, no killer instinct, head coach is burned out to a cinder, doesn't give a shit anymore.

Describes the panic that set in.

Don’t know if he speaks for the entire team or more to his own perception…..

This is a very concerning explanation and unacceptable in my book.

Is this reflective of a poor disciplined team due to coaching alone?
Patrick Queen says Steelers defense were complacent against the Bengals: “I don’t think we were physical enough. I don’t think we was expecting them to run. ‘Cause the whole ranking and all this and that, like hey they’ll run the ball this amount of times, whatever. So I think we got pretty complacent with thinking they wasn’t gonna run a lot… Definitely can’t have that, definitely gotta get better at that.”
I’m so sick and tired of hearing this defense make excuses like this. You had a chance to seriously lock down the division and yet again took a game lightly and wasn’t prepared.

They follow their leader.

And where the fuck is Scam I need to be paid more Heyward? How come he doesn’t have these guys on point? Isn’t he the oh so valuable leader?

Too busy sticking his nose up Jibba’s ass most likely.

Pretty much hate this entire team aside from Boz, Warren, Washington, Metcalf, and Rogers. Maybe a couple oline.

On D I’ll give a pass to Harmon, Herbig, and Elliott. Everyone else can go.
Jibba Jabber’s offense hasn’t scored more than 7 1st quarter points in 81 consecutive games. An NFL record by far. A historic amount of “easin in”. We are lucky to have him.

With the new kickoff rules and the fact that most kickers now have 55+ yard range you need to manage end game differently.
"
"They scored too soon" seems to happen in almost every close game. Coaches really need to think long and hard about how to manage these situations.

Narrator: Tomlin will not be thinking about this long and hard"

Yeah, like I said, I would love to see the updated analytics

I asked chatgpt5 and said the FG was reliable up to 55 yards, three timeouts and the odd s were 20-25 percent.

So no, Muth has to go in and not play Madden at the one.

The adjustment is not going down to kill time and keep the offense on. The adjustment is not allowing 7-10 yard passes in a prevent because that won't work anymore. Olsen has commented on this in a few games.
