Just a bad kick by Bass... inexcusable 

That’s two this year

[SageAgainstTheMachine]

They should have gone for an easy 10 yards on 3rd down.  Situational football error.

Wind looks like it’s ridiculous… weather already playing a part in early October 😅

Build. A. Dome. 

[VW82]

That was one where I would've preferred to see Josh take the check down.

[GolfandBills]

Bates killed that drive.  Points off the board 

[TheBrownBear]

Bates took at least 3 points off the board there.  Ugh.

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

Was bass trying to line drive that? 

[Nitro]

This is concerning.  The blocking on FGs is not getting the job done.  Too much push!

[Irish Dave]

OCD Dorsey overthinking things. That series was JV

Bates killed the drive and yea… kicking FG’s looks next to impossible today. 

 

Hilarious how today has been billed all week as a “great weather day” and the wind has already affected 3/4 special teams plays. 

 

Bates is being shown up for what he is. A career backup masquerading as a starter.

Refs already sensing they need to step in and even the playing field

Yup....NFL and Steeler narrative must take front and center.  The hold on Bates was absolute garbage.

Bates cost us 3 on that one. 

 

I'll see your 3 and raise you to 7.

Our Guards are freaking awful.

I am not sure Matt Smiley is long for the job as ST coordinator. Everything looks worse.

McD’s overall approach to special teams has been highly questionable.  He does not seem to understand how to coach it up or roster for it.

It was definitely holding. Can't really complain about that one.

Again, inability to run the football…unbelievable 

Well, he did get 10 yards.

Singletary had a nice run… thanks to a hold from the worst player on the starting roster😀

 

Goes to show that if the line could run block then our RBs would be fine.

[HappyDays]

Bates has been a major disappointment. It's not just minor regression, he looks like a 3rd string guard.

Weak holding call IMO

Motor was already passed the defender. Hold would not have impacted the play.

Sometimes I really hate Dorsey’s playcalls

I’m starting to lose confidence in him
