You're right. That was a killer. Inexplicable Jones looked like a player who missed the preseason more than anyone. He was not sharp tonight.

Please. This is clearly not the same team we've fielded the last 3 years.
Maybe I should create a Drama Queen Game Day Thread for some of you.
Of course it is not the same team! Any fool can see that! However the result is the same and that is a fact. I fail to see the drama in this. I gave my opinion so why give us yours other than a snide remark because you do not agree.
Because we are obviously playing a different style of football.
The end result may not be what we hoped for but I found myself cheering this team a lot more tonight than I did last year or the year before - especially on defense.

I guess you're right and it's only week one in a season with little preparation. But the "we looked good before we got blown out" thing has been echoing in my ears for years now. we had a good practice saquan said. Excellent offseason Zoom Meetings

id trade him, what is the avg lifespan of a Rb? Whats the point of having a "great" rb on a 4-5 win team year after year? So you want to trade him and just have everybody on the team suck equally? Somebody has to be good on this team

There are a bunch of whiney children posting - trade your masks in for pacifiers. There were a lot of positives tonight I’ll focus on - What are they? A) the play calling was good in the passing game B) the run defense was good C) the the tackling is much better D) there is a pass rush Need more?

Well.....it's pretty much going exactly the way I thought it would. I'm disappointed that I wasn't wrong. Buckle up, Buttercups, it's going to be a long first half of the season. Terrible decision by Jones to try and throw that ball in the end zone. Just terrible. He better run some laps
I blame you.

Somebody has to be good on this team You think he is good right now? He has an explosive wow play once every 15-20 plays. Everything else is very average to below average. Everyone talks about the one play instead of the 15-20 other plays.

Yup. Explain again how this is a different team? They gave up. 23 straight points for Pitt They’re not. I thought they were. I’m Clearly wrong. It’s 26-10. We completely suck. Far from winning football. This is what I call reality and some here call it drama!

A) the play calling was good in the passing game B) the run defense was good C) the the tackling is much better D) there is a pass rush Need more? There is a pass rush? You’re kidding right? Williams sack was a coverage sack, where Ben held the ball way too long. And Carter and Lawrence made a play earlier. Other than that the pass rush was nonexistent.

Andrew Thomas has been solid all night. That’s a great sign.

Engram was less than impressive tonight. He’s useless. Every now and then he makes a play, but mostly he’s injured

I’m going to reserve judgement until this line has played 4-5 games together. We have a rookie LT, a Tackle playin Center and a backup RT. It takes time for a line to come together.
I expected us to lose this game. Steelers with Ben are a very good team. We are still in rebuild mode.

come on dudes. you can't seriosuly be dissapointed. If you came in to this game honestly expecting a win you weren't thinking with your head. This team is young, under a new coaching staff blah, blah blah.. It wasn't going to happen. This t eam is a work in progress, they will get better.
