    Wide Receiver group is exposed

    I see nothing special with our wide receiver group. No separation like other teams..Screwing up routs, Drop catchable balls…Just terrible from what we have had in past…

    The man throwing it does look so hot either.
    Tomlin hasn't won a playoff game in seven years and counting. The earliest will be eight years. I guess that in Art Rooney's II, opinion is worth a 3 year extension.

    Our 2024 draft looks to be grade A. Our 2023 draft is an A. The roster is talented, but Mike Tomlin is still the head coach.

    *** Mike Tomlin is the best coach since the AFL- NFL merger that has not won a playoff game in 8 seasons or more. It's either him or Lewis. ***

      they're more middle of the pack then anything. three #2s with chase having potential to be a #1.
      pretty much with where they were drafted.

      I do think they are a group that good enough to win it all with

        WRs might not be great, but bigger problem is with the OL and QB decline, IMO.

                  tough to tell with the way the OL is playing. no holes in the run game. pass pro is awful too

                  and i don't think this was even a good defense we went against today

                    Ben has lost some of his mobility skills but he can still be effective. We need to play more physical on the O line. Got to rush the ball better. Okor is right now a weak link on a OL that has 4 other guys who are okay but not 'good' although Moore has played well for a rook. Banner return will help. Trade Ebron now n play the rookie who can play the Y a bit n has hands.

                      Disappointed in Claypooh's today. For as big and strong as he supposedly is he didn't play like it. He doesn't use his frame very well to shield defenders.

                        Steelers won a ring with a group less talented. WR isn’t our problem

                          Doesn’t help the WRs having a running game that is pathetically weak. Take away the 14 yr run by Harris and he averaged 2.6 a carry. You can fall down and average better than that. Snell had 2 runs for 1 yard. He shouldn’t even be on the team.

                          Teams can already not plan to stop the run.

                            I don't believe that teams believe Ben can beat them consistently in the passing game. Teams are willing to take their chances. I believe it has a trickle down effect on the entire offense. This isn't new though.

                            The Steelers had opportunities to win this game. Penalties hurt and the losses on defense hurt. A defense can only sustain X amount of injuries before the inevitable happens. It's what happened last year. Teams will probably continue to spread the Steelers defense.

                            This offense can't play well enough to carry this team. The Steelers will probably always have a chance against teams that play them conservatively because they know the Steelers offense can't score points consistently.

                              defenses are contacting him before he hits the line of scrimmage

                              whose fault is that?
