Takeaways of Pats game

[tapeANaspirin2it]

It's all about the OL. There are no great plays you can call when your OL is getting whipped and you don't have multiple elite weapons to back off a defense.

Max needs to start. It may have been a mistake to flip Fautanu to LT.

Rodgers missed a few plays but it was a no win situation. The only QB who could have done something for the steelers today is Josh Allen.

They need Pittman back. DK is a limited use WR. He has straight line speed but he's not a fluid athlete. Slant, post, fade, go. Pittman needs to do all of the other routes then mix in Bernard and Wilson.

Until the OL comes together, they need to be primarily 2 TE.

Dan Moore looks like Joe Thomas compared to the steelers OT play since he left. That's why he got paid. Even a mediocre OT is in high demand.

Omar has made awful decisions after awful decision and every year he is GM is 2 more that we aren’t a contender. Needs to go after we go 6-11. The ****** thing about this year is that Mason will replace Rodgers once he gets hurt and take snaps away from our potential 2027 starter. This game really ******* ruined my (false) hope for this season.

The problem is two fold: Bad O-line & Rodgers is washed up as well.

QB-
Aaron is probably wishing he retired.

WR-
DK sucks.
Bernard looked like our best receiver… minus that one play .

Pittman hopefully is a go next week.

TE-
We NEED to get these guys involved more.

OL-
Shake up has to happen next week. Cook got fooled on a blitz. Fautanu almost got Rodgers killed. Interior was pushed back all day.

DL-
See above but in reverse of our o-line. Guys we getting to the second level all day and running down our throats like we were Mia Khalifa.

Edge-
Watt still playing at another level. Herbig with a couple big hits and nice punch out fumble. Highsmith was pretty quiet minus the offsides penalty.

LB-
Queen with a nice pick. Wilson had an up and down game.

S-
Brisker hurt already. Story of his career.

CB-
Today probably helped JPJ contract situation.

This all starts at the line and we are getting roughed up on both sides.

He is already signed. He just has to get "healthy".

Rodgers isn't very good even when he has time to throw. He is looking pretty washed through two weeks and ran himself into at least two of the sacks today (including the fumble).

He has missed some easy throws to guys that are open. Just over-throwing them. Rudy could have done this for us this season.

He has missed some easy throws to guys that are open. Just over-throwing them. Rudy could have done this for us this season.

And his receivers have dropped a lot of balls.

Rodgers was three dropped passes away from having a great game in week one, and he didnt have Pittman in week 2, which is magnified by how terrible Metcalf has been.

Has Rodgers been great? No, but Im surprised by the amount of negativity towards him given how bad the OL has been and his top WR almost literally not being able to catch right now.

How good would he have looked in his prime if Jordy Nelson or Davonte Adams were dropping 3-4 balls a game?
