Well I don't think I've ever been more disappointed by my Steelers at any opening season game than this one.....and yes even more disappointed than the Steelers 1989 blowout opening day loss at home to Cleveland 51-0 was easier to tolerate than this one! I'm really beginning to loose faith in Tomlin as our Head Coach. Every big game it just seems like our team is never prepared and there is a lack of effort from the players, then we have complete *** kickings like this game. From a talent standpoint our Steelers shouldn't look this bad vs NE under any circumstances. Looking at our schedule it's no walk in the park.....I hope the road Seahags show up next week because if they don't and we loose I can honestly see this team starting the season 0-3. We never play well when we travel to the West Coast and we have a road trip to SF after next week.
I was surprised how good the Patriots Defense was tonight.....I guess AB does make that much of a difference. They might as well give the Cheatriots the 7th Lombardi now because with their team and you add AB not to mention their 2 starting TE's were out....I really think they will be unstoppable unless someone knocks Brady out for the season! If Brady stays healthy I can honestly see them going 19-0 and winning it all for their 7th Championship. Yes they are that good.....and their secondary is spectacular!
Tomlin Post Game Presser:
TJ Watt - Hip
Maurkice Pouncey - Ankle being evaluated
Joe Haden - Shoulder but was able to go back into game
Juju - Toe Injury being evaluated
Game Balls:
NO ONE!
Game Goats:
Donte Moncrief - This guy is a complete bum! He shouldn't even be on the roster. 5 dropped passes tonight and one lazy job running a post corner route slow coming out of his break....should have been a TD instead it was an incompletion. I don't think he has the heart and drive to play at an NFL level! He showed me one thing tonight and it's that he's a lazy WR who doesn't put forth good effort and he has sub par hands. James Washington should be our #2 & Dionte Johnson our #3!
Bud Duhpree - COMPLETE SACK OF ****! This ****** doesn't belong on this roster! A completely pathetic performance vs a Rookie making his first NFL start and he couldn't even get pressure on the QB. TERRIBLE! CUT HIM NOW!!! Ola & Tuzar are already far better in their ability to get to the QB!
Mark Barron - This guy looked ******* lost out there....they've got him at LB'er and on the Rams he played DB. I just don't like this move....Barron looked terrible out there tonight....out of position too damn much and he looked slow!
Terrell Edmunds - He could complete the TRIFECTA of **** *** Wasted #1 Draft Picks.....Jarvis Jones, Bud Duhpree & Terrell Edmunds. He looks like he has regressed from his rookie year!
Kameron Kelly - I almost want to give him a pass because it was his first NFL action but he really blew coverage too many times to not end up here. Combine this guy being lost with Terrell Edmunds piss poor play and we might have the worst secondary in the NFL!
Mike Tomlin - Every loss this guy has this season is another nail in his coffin....I for one am really beginning to question his ability as a Head Coach! Every BIG GAME our team seems unprepared and Tomlin always blames it on execution. Tonight there was execution problems but there were also no in game adjustments on offense or defense. We didn't see the no huddle until inside 4 minutes remaining in the 4th Quarter. Bottom line is our Steelers under Tomlin throughout his career the team has underachieved under Coach T. It just might be time for him to go!
FU's:
Antonio Brown - **** YOU AB! I can't get out of my head that you orchestrated the entire debacle in Oakland knowing that if you got yourself removed from the team the *'s would pick you up! No football player complains about a helmet....just put another ******* helmet on! I saw this coming when all the drama started upon his arrival in Oakland.
