The OL was bad and not a ton of separation from WRs. He wasn't overthrowing guys like we've seen in the past. Gurleys usage was frustrating.

But easily the most egregious of those plays were the uncalled DPI on Reynolds after all the garbage ticky tack crap they called on us and the DPI on the interception. It was almost like they called the Kupp PI on the final drive to give us one. I understand they didn't want to call it on 4th down but it was the most egregious PI of the game and they didn't call it... And I felt like the 2nd most egregious PI was the push off Juju had on Ramsey when Fowler jumped off in the first half. Also uncalled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He led us down the field in the third quarter for a scoring drive. Of course, our offense stalled on that drive when McVay pulled him out and Brown caused a penalty. And then McVay didn't use him after that. I was furious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And because we can't protect him, the Steelers started squatting on the quick passes and playing tight man coverage. There was little he could do in this game. He's not going to get it done behind this OL. We better be ready to invest some serious resources into solving the problem this offseason. I understand he isn’t a miracle worker but he can’t have games this bad. You’re right, the OL is trash Half the teams in the league have bad OLs but when you pay someone that much money then he needs to produce. Otherwise take less money so that the team can put a formidable OL around you. The great QBs have mediocre games and bad ones. I can take Goff being mediocre or even bad against elite defenses but he hasnt even been bad. He’s been awful i think he will get better eventually and become elite but it won’t be anytime soon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make matters worse Les has no first round picks or cap space to improve it next season. Edited November 11, 2019 by Hopper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean decides to use brown like wow. I know sean wants to limit his carries but sheesh thats when we need to use todd especially when he was running well but nope. I was so pissed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeotheLion Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 For the Cooks haters (I don't love the contract either), this is a game where he jolts our offense. We really missed him today. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you can find a good interior OL with a 2nd or 3rd round pick. But we need our young guys to step up to have a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeotheLion Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Does anyone know why we started Edwards at RG and Blythe at LG? I missed that if it was ever said or explained. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertuzzi Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 There was some positive ms outta todays game. The defense played real well its just the offense that let everyone down even tho they had rudolph at QB. i thought todd looked real good even though hes stuck behind such a bad oline. besides that i dont think playoffs is happening this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Ramster Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Crazy though 2 years in a row our d has been suspect. And now this year they’re basically carrying the team. The o sucks. Not Mitch level but they should be way better. The pats destroyed this steelers team with ease. And we couldn’t get a yard without making a blood sacrifice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Ramster Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Last year was a magical ride. The debt had to be paid for that saints call and I accept it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
