After today's display of practiced ineptitude, how many of you think its lack of talent, and how many think its just plain poor coaching?

Im hoping it gets better over the season.

[feltdizz]

Its coaching. All I heard this week was how the Pats didnt have talent and were young on D and OL... and they still play hard football with minimal mistakes.

We are sloppy and undisciplined.

How do you game plan for Gronk and peave him open half the night? What could be more important than covering their best receiver?

[pfelix73]

"We are sloppy and undisciplined" pretty much says it all......embarrassing that this coaching staff has 5 preseason games......

[pittpete]

When you allow the one player you needed to stop, score 3x id say its poor coaching..
Especially when he wasnt covered on 1, had a 3rd string backup LBer cover him on another & a physically lacking Will Allen try on another i'd say coaching had a lot to do with it..
They had no answer for Edelman or the picks being set.
Lack of preparation and don't know if Lake has worn out his welcome either.

If that was Lebeau the Pat's would have put up their average of 40. I seen some things than can be corrected as far as communication . Let's face it the offense let us down with play calling and bad breaks.

[DukieBoy]

It's Lebeau's fault. He's too old.

Hines said it best Talked about missing players on offense and the need to communicate better on Defense said the Steelers are going to be fine this year.-

They will be fine. Week one for a new scheme with young players in new England is rough. Probably one of the more difficult starts period. I think as the season progresses and guys get more settled we'll see more press.

Exactly it was all communication on defense, they will only get better but it start with getting Boykin starting.

Cortez looked as lost as he did last season. That remains a bad bad investment.

[Steelhere10]

I made that statement when everyone was wondering when his extention was coming.

[SanAntonioSteelerFan]

Growing pains.

Anyone thought we wouldn't have them?

They're gonna try to get their monies worth out of him

[KYPITTFAN]

Backfilled is just not that good simple as that.
We need one shut down corner to take half the field away.

He wasn't good, but the other two corners were waaaay worse imo. That PI was BS.
