What kind of a clueless coach gets first and goal from the 5 against a winless team and passes with their backup QB on first and second AND third downs, when their best player on offense is their rookie RB ????????????
Do all of my teams have to play stupid ?????????
Tomlin looking for EXPLOSIVE. PLAYS. ?
I really believe the Steelers would have drafted, even traded up the draft a QB if there was one worthy that they believed would be a great NFL QB and available, in the last 2-3 years. Or above them in the draft with a willing trade partner. But sometimes that does not happen.People have been saying for years the Steelers needed to draft and plan for Ben’s retirement. They’ve not really addressed that and here we have a preview of life post Ben. Granted the team as a whole isn’t playing well today, but some of these throws are just awful.
Why, yes. It appears they do.What kind of a clueless coach gets first and goal from the 5 against a winless team and passes with their backup QB on first and second AND third downs, when their best player on offense is their rookie RB ????????????

I hear ya but there had to be someone out there better than Mason Rudolph.I really believe the Steelers would have drafted, even traded up the draft a QB if there was on worthy that they believed would be a great NFL QB and available, in the last 2-3 years.

But yes, time has run out and they need to either sign a very good shorter term replacement, such as Rogers, or put a package together to trade up for one. But this is supposed to be a very very bad year for QB's in the draft so I'm not optimistic about them finding one in the 2022 draft.......
A bulked up Bubby might be able to get these snaps nearer to Rudoph.....I hear ya but there had to be someone out there better than Mason Rudolph.
I’m starting to get flashbacks to the Bubby Brister years. .
So far this looks like the kind of disaster we endured yesterday........
Friermuth completely screwed up that play with an utter lack of fundamentals or football sense. It was stupefying, really. He caught the ball (which is more than he did on other occasions earlier in the game) and IMMEDIATELY put the ball in the wrong (inside) hand, and THEN cut upfield instead of racing to the sideline to stop the clock. The play started with 15 seconds remaining and the Steelers had zero timeouts. Then, as a direct result of the two aforementioned gaffes, the unnecessarily exposed ball was punched out and recovered by Detroit.Bad play by Freiermuth but the Steelers should have kicked the FG on 3rd down there. What was the gain, about 2 yards? Wouldn’t have made much difference to Boswell, plus Freiermuth wasn’t out of bounds and with no TO’s there’s no guarantee they could kill the clock in time. If you’re going to run a play there it has to be one where the receiver can get OOB on his own.
He could and should have gotten out of bounds. He had a terrible game.Bad play by Freiermuth but the Steelers should have kicked the FG on 3rd down there. What was the gain, about 2 yards?

Yeah both looked terrible. 5.6 YPC vs 7.3 YPC.I think I just witnessed two Offensive Lines worse than Penn State’s. What a disaster!
Last I checked it was still 16-16. What overtime are they in now?
