DK Metcalf cost the Steelers any chance of a comeback last night.
Let's be clear about the Tomlin Steelers---
Whatever plagues the Steelers right now, the offense is the /least/ of their concerns and Rogers and Metcalf have been among their highlights. They've run the ball pretty OK, they just need to get up up the middle more often.
It's the DEFENSE. Highest paid in the league and now DEAD LAST in pass defense? WTF.
What the bungholes in Pittsburgh did was try to sew up their broken defense by adding more manned coverage and filled it in with a bunch of aging Lotharios all past their prime who now can now longer cover the very people and situations they were brought in for.
TJ Watt: 41 million a year. Are you kidding me?
And the final onslaught: Mike Tomlin a so-so player turned DEI coach who has not produced a respectable team in at least ten years, who apparently can no longer turn out a professional, disciplined and prepared football team.
They play the Colts now this Sunday coming up--- I expect Indianapolis to hand them their heads. Pittsburgh, 4-1 to 4-4 and on down, I've seen it a dozen times; will they now even make it to 50/50 for the season with the schedule they have ahead?
The Baltimore Ravens, beaten, battered, demoralized: I just saw the odds-makers place more confidence in the Ravens pulling out of a nosedive than they do the Steelers not stinking up the joint yet again, wildly zigging and zagging under-performing with Tomlin at the helm.
Had it not been for the Pittsburgh defense stinking so bad, one lone mishap by Metcalf wouldn't have all that mattered.
