DK’s Daily Shot of Steelers: It’s all bad, but …

38 comments

1. Russ zigged when he should have zagged. Can't fault him for trying to score. The D not being able to stop that 96 yard drive was awful.

2. Same outcome, same failures, same time every year. It's a new steeler tradition….well we almost made it….next year we're going to do better…no you are not…behold the half ass new steelers tradition

3. Different coordinators same Tomlin. Don't be fooled Mike Tomlin is the real problem with this organization

4. Until we change our defensive scheme which has proven to not work for a decade now. And stop the ultra conservative scary offensive play calling,we’ll never be more than a 10-7 one and done team. And I don’t think Tomlin is willing to do those 2 things,and if he’s not,he’s gotta go.

5. I had really thought we had turned a new page, I thought Russ had recaptured some of his old magic, so sad, The Greg from West Mifflin J1Q threw me, I literally had to stop & go "Wait, did I ask a question?"

6. Ravens pass game is 0 to fear you slow their run game and they are very beatable. They seemed to schematically give the passing game too much respect early on and not sell out harder on the run game.

7. Need to put Fields back in

8. 1. Stop shooting themsleves in foot, i.e. turnovers and not getting ball on ground. There were no stupid penalities this time, which is a plus. 2. Need splash making players back (Pickens and Elliott, and a healthier TJ). Team thrives on splash plays. 3. Better schematics on defense, opposing offenses are having their way of late, but lack of complimentary football isn't helping. We lost a DB and WR in the game, there was no room for error and there were many errors…

9. Another 90+ yard TD drive given up by the defense. Too many key mistakes. Unfortunately this team won’t beat KC and they could easily drop one to the Bengals if the offense doesn’t put up points. That means a road wild card game, and well, we know how that goes under Tomlin.

10. This team will never change. Tomlin wins enough to make people think they have a shot when in reality they have no shot whatsoever. Russ is good. Good doesn’t lift a team to a Ship. Unless the defense is actually legit. This defense is not. Too many examples prove that. Overpaid. Until they emphasize the offense more they won’t do anything. Every year is the exact same. Free fall at the end of the season and one and done or no playoffs at all. Thought the goal was Super Bowls. It clearly isn’t

11. We need new coaching

12. We need new coaching

13. I was very upset with Pruitt. I didn't like Russ not getting down but I think Pruitt could of threw that last block.

14. Mike Tom is the one who caused the defense to play bad then. He overrides the defensive coordinator every time and then it him look like he’s the bad guy we have to get rid of Mike Tomlin

15. The Steelers were widely predicted to be the 4th-best team in the AFC North. Remember? Just going to the playoffs is a bonus, much less competing for the division championship.

16. I think we have to be waiting to use 88 in the playoffs in a sneak attack because it makes no sense to continue to overlook him in the passing game

17. DK…I get Tomlin is a HOF coach but reading the comments on your YT page, Steelers fans are simply sick of Tomlin and all his damn catch phrases! Highest paid defense in the league that’s under performing! Typical Tomlin collapse! Lastly, TJ Watt should demand a trade, he’ll never win a SB with this coach and staff! He’s wasting his time with the Steelers!

18. Had to lose cuz being the 3 seed and winning the division would be comfort seeking 💪🏽💪🏽

19. Long. Tomlin. There. Say. O. Shit

20. When. Big. Ben. Was. There. Good. Team. Sorry. Ass. Coaching

21. Dc. Got. .2. Go

22. U. Have. Say. That. U. Live. N. Pittsburgh. U. Live. Any. Where. Else. U. Say. .dam. This. Team. Stinks

23. Both coordinators have had plenty of opportunities. They are not the answer. I sure miss Flores as he could have been a creative DC.

24. To be honest it's all bad they play good teams and play without a regular break. Chiefs will beat us

25. Hey DK, any idea/any word/any gossip when Troy is coming back? Before end of reg season?

26. HoneyBadger (30) looks good 👍

27. We're missing D-Jak, and D-Elli😢

28. I destroyed my couch with this one. All they had to do was lock it up but no. Hold My Beer Tomlin once again proved he can't coach on a short week. Pitiful. I don't usually get this pissed off over losses but this one made my knuckles hurt. Dammit.

29. Not having Donte Jackson and Deshaun Elliot hurt in this one. I think the blown assignments had a lot to do with backups. That being said I agree that allowing Henry to run like that was always gonna lead to a loss. Offense moved the ball well at times. Anyway let’s hope for a Xmas miracle vs the Chiefs ! 😅

30. When wilson threw that pick 6, the first thing i said was why the hell are they throwing to the 3rd string TE in the first place? You have a stud in muth and a 6'7 270 lbs beast. This team infuriates me.

31. Steeler fans are using the turnovers as a cope, but it's a part of the game just like justin tucker missing FGs and costly fumbles being the reason for that 2-point loss. The defense didn't have an answer for Lamar and King Henry.

32. Defense year after year after year always breaks down

33. No In Game Adjustments By The H.C.
    Smith's Offense Is Brutal.
    Tomlin,Is An Average Coach At Best.
    Just Get It Over With, They Don't Control Nothing At This Juncture.

34. Same ol complaining people…smfh!

35. All these comparisons between Tomlin & Cowher. Cowher had Neil O’Donnell, Kordell Stewart, & Tommy Maddox for most of his career. Tomlin had Ben

36. Will we ever not be one in done in the playoffs again..

37. STEELERS= WILDCARD

38. I have been watching Tomlin's Steelers too long. Call me a spoiled Steelers fan if you want.
