Coach Tuesday

As I said in the game day thread, amazingly, it’s possible this roster is a Wyatt Teller away from being elite…

Does that mean three more fumbles?

Pissed me off that Brieda couldn't power for that extra yard on the previous play.

We are in Year Four of this and he still cannot hit a college fly route to a wide open receiver. It's extremely frustrating.

The Steelers' receivers made contested catches. Their offense plays with an attitude like few offenses do. (Not sure ours does.) Also, as I've said elsewhere, the irony is that both offenses came into the game facing similar problems: weak offensive lines against strong fronts (and in the Steelers' case, crowd noise). The Steelers schemed well enough for it, the Bills did not. The Steelers used quick sideways WR screens to evade the Bills' front 7 and take advantage of their over-aggressiveness; they also kept backs and TEs in to help block. The Bills went five wide and trusted their WRs to beat their matchups and Allen to make quick throws (something he gets too jacked up and impatient to do at times). Daboll got completely out-schemed by a rookie OC.

Josh’s PC came as close as he’ll ever come to throwing others under the bus. Said he was “maybe feeling things around my feet” (o-line). Asked about that 4th and 1 call and he said something like, “the coaches call the plays.” Ouch. Didn’t shy from his own bad play but I was surprised to hear both things out of his mouth.

It was a windy day against a physical team and they went finesse. End of story.

That sucks. League is better when he’s playing.

The Saints’ secondary is elite.

Dion is clearly not in game shape. Speaking of which, where was Diggs’ extra gear today? Lots of guys still playing their way to peak.

Lol McD sits Moss as a “coach’s decision” and his replacement fumbles twice. This should be interesting. Wonder if Motor gets to ride the pine next Sunday now.

I will hate to hear during the week that Darryl Johnson usually manned that blocking position on the punt team…

There is literally already a thread dedicated to that one play.

Agree. We’re in year four here and he’s got $258 million or whatever - stop throwing the ball out of the stadium on basic college fly patterns. Enough already Josh.

Daboll called a halfback option pass to a rookie swing tackle on the critical play of the game. Will not miss him when he leaves.

Agree with all of this except the pass rush, I thought it was way better.

Yes, that Seattle game, but IIRC it was a much tighter formation there. This looked to me like an option pass.

I think it was a halfback pass. Seriously. Running back was going to catch the ball seven yards behind the LOS and then throw it downfield. Incredible.

McD has to work hard to make sure his assistant coaches are coaching sound and efficient football and not experimenting with nonsense to pad their personal “genius” resumes. You had two teams with suspect o-lines today, only one of them had a good game plan to account for it. I’ll sum it up: Brian Daboll needs to get his head out of his a$$.

Fully deserved the L.

Steelers deserved to win.

Star would’ve made zero difference today. Huge cap hit for a non-difference maker.

Need to learn to handle high expectations. Every game is gonna be tough this season bc opposing teams know they have to play their best. Young QB and young coaches need to get their mental right.

Wallace is a disgrace

Team not ready
