Brady is self-destructing right before our eyes. Wow.

That wasn't the impression I got. No doubt, they're in a down year, but watching them, I got the impression that they were so physically dominant and scheme-disciplined that despite their lack of discipline outside of thr Xs and Os, they still won because they were playing with a purpose and for their coach. I couldn't recall the last time we just looked so physically outmatched like we did today. They whooped our ass and punked us all up and down the line on both sides of the ball. They looked like they were twice as strong and twice as fast. They were pushing our biggest, strongest guys back 3-5 yards off the snap every time. It was humiliating. And the only thing that can come from is want-to. This line has done that exact thing against teams since Wilks took over, but today they got punked, and I attribute that to them (the Steelers) playing for their coach, and ours just showing up and expecting to win after riding high off the hog coming out of an upset win against Seattle. I also think this is symptomatic of the same old poo we have always struggled with in our franchise history under defensive coaches. I love Wilks, but defensive-minded head coaches just lack the creativity and ingenuity to get out of their own way if their initial plans don't work, especially on the offensive side of the ball. And for us, its like outside of 03 and 15, we just cant ever keep any significant amount of momentum once we get it. We blow our load on one game and then bomb the next one that should be easier. Its so fuging frustrating. We just didn't show up, period.

Butker has the yips.

I love Wilks, as a head coach or assistant, but I have and do prefer to go the offensive route the next hire. That being said, he was building enough goodwill during this run that I felt he earned it... but, honestly, it feels now to me like if he won this game today the job was his, and if he lost, then it wasn't. Welp... I still love what Wilks brings and represents, but I think I feel more comfortable now just starting from scratch and finding a guy from an offensive background. It's not so much about what Wilks has done, but for me it's the hangups that we have consistently dealt with in being led by a defensive-minded, conservative HC - and those shortcomings reared their ugly head again today, as they aleays have when the games counted under every single HC we've had because they all have that background in common. It's ao frustrating.

Got our ass punked. Felt like an MMA fight where we specialize in striking and the other guy just held us down in jiu-jitsu holds all fuging night where we couldn't even get on our feet. poo is so fuging frustrating.

If it makes us feel any better. Did we really think we could've scored a two point conversion against their front even if we scored a TD? I dont.

They have just whooped our ass all day. Period. The level of physciality is crazy.

It ain't even on Taylor, man... that poo is on Holcomb. They showed us what they were going to do after they saw what we were trying to do, and he didn't adjust at all. And to me, Pickens isn't doing that poo. He is impressive, but he doesn't get open on short and immediate stuff like Johnson. Taylor matches up physically better with Pickens... but nope, let's keep having Jaycee chase him all over the field when they have already told us, "that's cool, we just won't throw to him." Holcomb is a fuging idiot.

Same thing I just said in a different reply. Taylor is honestly better suited to try to stick with Pickens versus Johnson, who is shiftier and a better route runner. The fact Holcomb has left him on him when he has singlehandedly converted like every third down pass attempt in the second half is absolutely fuging insane.

Honestly, after seeing what they're doing, I would just be fine taking my chances with switching Taylor on to Pickens and putting Horn on Johnson. They really started going to Johnson because they expect it will be there... switch it up and make them second guess what they're doing.

I dont know what he's doing man. I don't have a problem blitzing there, but you have to press the receivers so they don't get a free release and get to run these option routes with the DB dropping back off of them and guessing. And Taylor excels in physical/bump and run style play... then we turn around on the next 3rd down and gave a press look only for him to try to shade him without even getting a jam and all he did was running a fuging hook on him bc of it. Holcomb is a fuging idiot man.

When I saw it was 14 yards, I knew it was gonna happen.

fuging Taylor, bro. Damn man. They have killed us all day with those fuging option routes from Johnson and we haven't adjusted.

C'mon defense, pick six or fumble six here!!!!

It literally looks like they are playing against kids. Our OL is just getting destroyed. This poo is crazy. That hit on Foreman by Hightower, it literally looked like the OL hadnt even moved yet and he was already behind the LOS and to the opposite tackle. This poo is insane. Like it doesn't even look real.

They are just running straight through our line like it ain't poo. This is crazy.

Great check Darnold, great throw, great effort TMJ!

That's what I'm talking about Ickey!!! fug him up, bro!!!

Their whole squad is just running straight downhill, man.

If he was in the neutral zone at the snap, why tf did they let the play go instead of blowing it dead? So they can get free shots on Darnold like they just got?

I get it man, but I'm not just talking about today... he's made several really bad fielding decisions this year with letting ones hit the ground when he should've caught it and that time he fair caught one where he almost came out to the one. He just doesn't make good decisions.

Man, Shi has to be one of the worst guys I have ever seen in terms of fielding decisions on punt returns.

It doesn't. We ain't getting the opportunity to score two more times this game unless something changes dramatically, which I don't expect. That was a fuging give up if I've ever seen one. fug McAdoodoo.

That was my thought. I honestly don't think it's likely we get thr ball back... and now we still need two scores. McAdoodoo should be fired for that 3rd down call right there. What a fuging idiot.

We'll be lucky to get the ball back.
