Packers vs. Steelers REACTION 🔥 Rex Ryan calls Pitt’s defense ‘EMBARRASSING AS HELL!’ 😳 | Get Up

18 years in Green Bay. Now in Pittsburgh, the team he beat in the Super Bowl as a Packer, facing the Packers for the first time in his career in what has to be described as an emotional matchup and probably the worst uniform game I’ve ever seen in my entire life. What are we wearing here, people? All right, here we go. Second quarter. Rogers, DK Metaf, they started good. Yeah, this is a great shot right here. They had a great little combination of run pass going. You can see Aaron taking advantage of the matchup on the outside in the red zone. Steelers up 16-7 in the third quarter. That’s still the lead. And now Rogers thinks he has a free play. This is offsides. This is offides. Absolutely. Two line judges that their only job is to call this. How do you miss this? Two guys are offsides. Micah and Devonte White. Steelers wind up having to punt. Rogers frustrated. The whole game turns from there. And it turned in favor Rex of Tucker Craft. What a performance. Yeah, what a performance. And Mina K. was so happy that she had a beat me with him. He had a record of 40 points in this darn game. And he had seven catches for 143 yards. I can tell you that much. That one was 59. Packers second and goal. It’s love. It’s Savon Williams. Packers get it to within 1614. And they’re rolling. 35 seconds left in the third. Alex, can you describe the defense on this pass to Christian Watson? I got it. I got it. Non-existent. Greeny is how I put that. That is brutal. That’s right at the end of the third quarter. Switch sides now. Same drive. Josh Jacobs anytime touchdown hits for Rex. That’s That makes eight weeks in a row, ladies and gentlemen. Packers get the two-point conversion. They’re up 2219. And then Dwood, Micah Parsons took over. Well, this is why you make the trade. You make a trade for a generational type of pass rush. And he was all over Aaron Rogers last night. And the night belonged again to Tucker Craft. A second of his touchdowns. This one takes it down into the scoring area. Packers win it by a score of 3525. Craft has himself a night. Rogers does not. Certainly not the way he envisioned this thing going. A frustrating finish as he and Jordan Love at the end exchange a moment. He said, “I love you, man.” to Jordan Love there. So, the feelings are all good. The play for the Steelers not so good. Jordan Love, however, was brilliant. 360 yards passing a QBR 50 points higher than Rogers. In the three losses, there’s been times where we’ve had opportunities and we’ve we’ve hurt ourselves with we turnovers or just uh negative plays. So, we got to we got to cut those out. We got to get on the same page on offense and defense and and uh keep the faith. Did Did your starting quarterback prove anything new tonight and how he played? He’s him. He’s him. Everybody in the league, if y’all not whoop, please wake up. Get the crust out your eyes cuz he is him and 10 is coming. Period. Okay, put your feet up. We got a lot to say. Get that crust. You good? Your eyes good? I’m good. He was great last night. Dwood, what’s the first thing you said to me this morning? If Jordan Love plays like that, they’re going to find the Green Bay Packers going to find themselves in Santa CL. The one thing we talked about with Jordan Love, Rex, when you said it, a lot of people have said is like, you just don’t know this guy. He’s juggling high. you. One minute you’re going to get, you know, great performances, another minute he’s on the back of a milk carton. Well, guess what? Last night just showed you how great this young man can be out there distributing the football all to all different receivers out there. I mean, you know, Tucker Craft was just outstanding for the Green Bay Packers. But if they get this consistent player out the quarterback with their defense, they’re going they’re going they’re going to California. Listen, Jordan Love, it was it was like clinical last night in the sense that I mean he he set a record 20 straight completions. It’s hard to do on air. Greeny, he did it at Pittsburgh with the towels out against this defense. I don’t even know if Jordan broke a sweat last night, right? Like it just looked easy. And in some ways when he’s gotten in trouble, Woody is when he’s tried to do too much. Like just just get the ball to your playmakers. And again, you mentioned Tucker Craft. Like we need to start talking about this guy as one of the elite tight ends in football. But this was a dominant team victory. And again, obviously Jordan headlining this, but they won every facet of the game last night. There was nothing that Pittsburgh did that I think you’re going to turn the tape and feel good about. Yeah. No, absolutely. And when you when you see Jordan Love, look, I I expected him to carve him up. We saw Joe Flacco carve him up and all. I mean, so there was no question he he was going to do it. We’ll see how the rest of the year goes in critical moments. It’s the only thing else this this young man has to prove to me and everybody else. And the crush is out of the eye. Look, I see it. But this is horrendous defensively. Flat routes. I mean, this is crazy. that this is unrecognizable to me. This is not the Pittsburgh Steelers and and we saw it with Baltimore. We see it with them. When you get old, you get slow and if you’re slow, you can’t do anything defensively. And I don’t know the safety over here. 22. Boy, did he have a bad day. By the way, he looked like a a guy playing Pop Warner on that deep pass right there, you know, or a uh a little, you know, T-ball center fielder has no idea how to track a ball. It was embarrassing as hell from start to finish uh for that defense. And the Pittsburgh Steelers can now feel the Baltimore Ravens coming because the Ravens won yesterday. Lamar Jackson’s coming back. The Pittsburgh Steelers lost at home in another game where they made another quarterback look great. And Jordan Love is a great quarterback. But again, when you’re playing against Pittsburgh’s defense or Dallas’s defense or Cincinnati’s defense, inevitably your quarterback rating is going to grow. your stats going to grow and you’re going to look really good that day. On that note, this is what’s I mean, this is the most expensive defense in football. They’re dead last in pass defense, right? And they’ve gone and made these moves for Jaylen Ramsay and Darius Slay and it’s I think they think they’re a man team. They’re playing all this man on the back end and they cannot hold up. They can’t get pressure. QBs the last two weeks, if you play quarterback against these guys and they’re in man, your QB rating is 85, Woody. 85. Like just like it’s they got serious like questions they got to get answered and get answered fast. I mean the Pittsburgh Steels are like Oprah Winfrey. You get a contract, you get a contract, you get a contract and those guys can even sniff the quarterback. They’re like Oprah Winfrey. They’re nothing like Joe Green and LC Greenwood. Sometimes it just happens like that. See, because Shifty makes a good point. The Bengals defense, the Cowboys defense, the Steelers defense, what do they not have in common? We went into the season thinking the Bengals have a bad defense. We went the Cowboys have a bad We went into the season thinking the Steelers have the kind of defense that’s going to carry them to a Super Bowl and carry Aaron to a Super Bowl. We had Pton Manning on Sunday NFL countdown yesterday. Payton wins a Super Bowl in his final game on the strength of a great defense and Von Miller and all those guys. And I think that’s what we thought these Steelers were supposed to be. Well, we think of the Steelers in that way because that’s been their long-standing reputation, tough, hard-nosed defensive football. But you know what? We think of Baltimore that way. And the whole division right now is down. But Pittsburgh blew an opportunity last night to stay out in front and now you can just feel the Baltimore Ravens coming and you can because the defenses and all these teams are struggling. Let me put up A19 to show you just how much coming they are at this point. The Steelers dropping two games in a row. The Baltimore Ravens at ESPN bet are now odds on favorites to win the AFC North. Two and five. at two and five. Those of you who don’t speak gambling, odds on means a better chance than not that they win the division. This after a game that they won with Tyler Hundley. They’re still two games back in the Steelers, but the Ravens next four games are Dolphins, Vikings, Browns, and Jets. So, a chance to climb back into this thing. So, that’s their side of it. Meanwhile, to flip it back, you said it was a total team win by the Packers because Jordan Love was terrific. No question about it. But their defense is ridiculous. The defense was suffocating. I mean, listen, the best defenses of all time have always been able to get pressure with four guys, right? They don’t have to blitz. We don’t have to send anybody else to get pressure on the quarterback. And that’s exactly what you saw last night. I mean, listen, look, one blitz. I mean, and it was Aaron was under duress the entire night. I mean, it seems like if he didn’t get the ball out within a couple seconds, obviously, bad things were going to happen. And when you have this kind of ability, again, Michael Parsons, we saw him stand him up last night. I mean, he nobody could touch this guy and he was getting here. It is. Look at him rush four and look at this just collapsing this pocket and it’s not just Micah, right? And on the flip side, look at Pittsburgh bring all this pressure. I mean, there’s nobody around. And then apparently you can just heave it down the middle and your guy catches it, right? Like again, like to juxtapose those two, the Steelers have paid all that money for those guys up front to rush the passer and none of them can get home even when they’re adding extras in. Let’s make this as simple as we can. You’re one of the great defensive coaches of all time. If you can get pressure without sending extra people, Micah Parsons or Sean Garry in that group, when you’re a defense and you can get pressure without sending extra people, what specifically does it do? Well, everything. I mean, my wife can coach defense and I’m just telling you because she, you know what, we’re going to play cover six. We’re going to play cover four. We’re going to play cover two. We’re going to play cover three. I mean, it doesn’t matter. You anything you got, nobody’s going to be open. Look at these pictures. Nobody’s going to be open by the time you rush this passer. and and Micah Parsons a stop already. I don’t think people realize how dominating this this young man is. They traded him in his prime. That’s why I said it’s the worst trait in the history. He’s affected everybody. He’s affected every pass. That’s what you That’s why you never get rid of a great pass rusher and always take a great pass rusher over a great cover guy because he affects every every throw. Gee, to your question on the back end when you’re only rushing four, you you’ve got them outnumbered, right? everything is three over two or four over three like and everybody can leverage and squeeze those receivers and so as a quarterback I mean the windows are so tight and then again this pass rush is bearing down on you and to flip it right for for Jordan Love and when the when the Steelers are blitzing and everybody’s manned and nobody’s got help. I mean, that’s what you’re seeing. Again, they’re throwing these flat routes where Tucker Craft breaks a tackle and goes for 50 or you’re heaving the ball down the middle to Christian Watson. And again, if the the DB’s five yards behind him, those those two scenarios again um obviously we’re talking a lot about the quarterbacks, but again, this the teams were were so different. Again, Green Bay obviously much more dominant. It’s a math thing. I mean, quite honestly, you’re rushing four, you got seven in coverage. They probably have four out in routes. So, you guys figure it out even with the new math. like it’s it doesn’t work. I play any coverage you want. And it’s Monday, October 27th. But if the playoffs were to begin today, the Green Bay Packers would be the number one seed in the NFC. And the road to the Super Bowl will go through Lambo Field. [Music]
