I was ready to trade him in the off season, but I get why they didn't. Looked like a great trade for some time......

There complete inability to develop OL picked in the mid to late rounds needs to be addressed. Or, really, any players not picked early. 

Is it faulty development or faulty draft?

I thought we had an innovative offensive coach and we’re trying to throw 50 yards down field when we can’t block anyone 

As much as I don't blame him given the OL, I do think his plays can take too much time to develop at times. But I'm not watching.....

I'll say this in his defense, they can't run an eight or ten play drive with this OL. Home runs are their only real shot.

Shocked, shocked I tell you that Wentz turned back into a pumpkin 

Pumpkin pie filling. I don't think he's leaving Ireland alive.

Unless the Vikings want McCarthy knocked out long term, they better start grabbing QBs off of other teams' practice squads to use as tackling dummies the rest of the year. This O-Line is going to be injuring them all season long.

I'm going with both at this point. But I really have no idea.

Rodgers 16 for 18 is gross for this defense

I have more faith in defensive TD'S and kick returns.

Losing is fine. I expected many this year. Losing to Rodgers sucks. 

[Aggies7]

I really didn’t think the Steelers were this good 

if they are

No O line and dumb penalties killing them.

[stringer bell]

Just need three scores in 11:17.

Need to play Cincy again.

[Parfigliano]

Another failed screen pass

[Parfigliano]

2 downs to get 4 yd

[Parfigliano]

Nice ft work Scott

[Parfigliano]

Somehow it's a 10 pt game

[nicksaviking]

I have to say, that drive looks like they made some adjustments. Wentz still had no time, but the reads were way quicker.  Not sure if it was the play calling or the QB but I'd guess more of the first.

This game is over, but if they can do quick reads and releases they can still win some games.

It was, but I was coming here to ask, 'Why did he have to make that so difficult?!' It sure didn't look like he HAD to be standing at the last centimeter of the end zone.

[Parfigliano]

We went and saw them play Saints in London in 2022.

[Aggies7]

Kind of important to get a stop here at some point for the defense 

[Aggies7]

Real smart play there by dallas turner 

[Aggies7]

Defense has been fairly terrible after the first series. Flores completely worked over all day

Undisciplined penalties.

[Parfigliano]

D line getting stomped too

[Aggies7]

That would have done us a big favor had they kicked 

[Aggies7]

Dumb play call

[nicksaviking]

I love Mike Tomlin.

But I'd never want him coaching my team. He's way too old school conservative.

[Aggies7]

Wow

[Aggies7]

Of course we’ll take an hour to score now 

[Aggies7]

If we even ****ing score 

[nicksaviking]

How did Addison get chased down by a line backer?
