Steelers at Fins - Week 7 GDT

[King Colby]

Why didn't he run that

[willeyeam]

Damn

[nocera]

Kenny looked like a rookie in the second half.

[willeyeam]

Two bad decisions at bad times tonight

[blackjack68]

Welp

[Morkle]

Fire Canada, because you can’t trade the team.

Fire Tomlin.

[skullman80]

He's a rookie and I love the guy but he made two horrid decisions/throws on the last two drives.

[mac5155]

He could've likely had the first and been out of bounds.

[King Colby]

Pretty bad decision, rookie or not

[willeyeam]

I try to remember Ben's rookie season to compare to. And I remember something like whenever he threw more than 17 times, we lost. He wasn't big Ben from day 1 - Kenny showed some promise but is still a rookie, hopefully he learns from those mistakes

[dodint]

Not for nothing but they were both long throws to Johnson who appeared to make no effort to break up the INTs. Makes no difference other than to point out the guy isn't a complete player.

Noticed that several times tonight.

He’s frankly a big *****

In case we needed a fumble

[nocera]

**** it bring on the tank. Keep Canada around.

[blackjack68]

A friend won 4 club box seats for the Saints game and we are headed out there and now I’m less enthused about the trip.

Undefeated Birds next weekend.

The thing that kinda puzzles me looking to next year is that there really isn't a big hole on paper anywhere with this offense. Is it as easy as firing Canada? Like, what else is wrong here... I know Diontae and Claypool have their faults but it's still an above average WR corps with Pickens. The line has surprisingly been okay - I can't blame the shortcomings on the OL at this point

I mean we have a first round RB that should be able to be a relief valve if needed. Or hell. Put gentry out there. Gunnar shouldnt have touched the field in 2 minute drill.

They need a real corner. And a middle linebacker beside Jack. And a guard to replace Dotson and maybe a tackle to replace Moore. Otherwise yes

One thing that isn’t noted enough is they are crazy young. Pickett, receivers, RBs, tight end, most of the line are super young

[willeyeam]

I'd love to end up with a top 5 pick and trade back for 2 later 1st round picks to grab a CB and a G. Interior OL don't usually go that early and while we could upgrade from Moore I don't think it's a must at this point

[nocera]

If that illegal shift doesn’t happen, we win this game. That **** everything up.

Yeah, the maturity level of this team is really low. Not talking about player attitude, but the actual level of proficiency of the entire operation. It is like each play is a struggle and there is no actual plan in place for anything. That is how you get a QB sneak with an illegal shift, 5 dropped INTs, giving the other team the ball back with two minutes left, burning a time out after an injury timeout/penalty, etc. Just complete organizational dysfunction.

When an organization preens about things like no losing seasons and coaching longevity as the standard, the flip side to that is the coach needs to be instilling a high functioning culture and scheme that operates at a high level of maturity. Otherwise those standards are just platitudes. That expected level of maturity is not happening, and like it was noted earlier, there are not many glaring deficiencies that need to be corrected on the roster.
The staff is rotten and ineffective, at least where it matters.
