My two cents:
- Really easy, if your QB can't stay upright for as long as the WR's routes take, you need to adjust your play calling. Or, OC needs to talk to QB about taking what is available underneath. Plain and simple
- If your starting RB can't gain any yards, and your backup comes in and runs for 40 yards on 6 carries............you make the change. Is it me or has Redman's carries been limited over the past two games? Yep, it's true, Redman is being held back.
- The offensive line is obviously bad. You lost both tackles in the off season and you didn't replace them. I'm a supporter of Tomlin, but he dropped the ball on this one. See later rant on him.
- When you have the weapons on offense that the Steelers have, you need to use them. Get Wallace, Brown and Sanders the ball on the run, use Hines and Heath for possession receivers and utilize your quick running backs in the passing game, yada, yada, yada. Am I speaking to a brick wall here? Did Heath have a catch today? I didn't think so.
- First time in a long while that I can admit that both lines have been manhandled in 4 straight games. I'm embarrassed.
- Where's the blitz? Does anybody remember the Steelers defense being referred to as the Blitzburgh defense?
- For the first time since Tomlin took over, I'm dissappointed by him. I like the guy and have wholeheartedly supported him since he checked in as coach of the Steelers. But, this year, he has totally dropped the ball. I don't understand how he fields such an unprepared team. I'm very, very dissappointed in him right now.
- There are some obvious problems on this team. This is a team, one year removed from a Super Bowl appearance. So, it's not an issue of lack of talent. It's not an issue of inexperience. This, honestly, isn't even an issue of getting old. This is an issue of negligence, and that is unexcusable. That is just total laziness. Tomlin needs to get on this and quit acting like all is well.
I'm discouraged. Very, very discouraged.
