Just a crappy weekend for Pittsburgh football

I thought after the Pitt debacle I would get to see the Steelers win a hard fought game in Philadelphia. Boy was I wrong. This game is exposing this bend not break defense Butler is utilizing. Plus we have literally no pass rush at all. When almost 40 year old James Harrison is your most consistent pass rusher, it tells you they are missing big time in the draft and development. Just atrocious all the way around.

The Steelers have quit and there is still 5+ minutes to go in the 3rd!!! Add to that the offense can't do anything, dropped passes early by Wheaton that set the tone and the Steelers have a lot of soul searching to do. Shame. Guess the team was reading their own press clippings.

They should quit and Tomlin should get the rest of his stars out before they get killed. You're not going to win and players are getting knocked out left and right. Live to fight another day.

When you see Wheaton drop easy passes, blocked field goal, stupid penalty after stupid penalty and then injuries....you know what's going on.

Is Narduzzi coaching the Steelers defense too??

Wheaton's been terrible. ThecSteelers really lack a dependable WR to complement Brown

I love this 30 point, juggerfart of an offense. Tom Brady has to be jealous.

Steelers can't cover anybody either

The " amateurism" Steelers HC sure had the Steelers ready for this one!
They were " fired" up.
I love that Tomlin what just happened look!
There's always next week!

Eagles have been impressive this year, much more physical on defense

IS there one defensive back in Pittsburgh who can cover anyone? Surely not for the Pitt or the Steelers. If I look at film I pass on Pitt every down you'll either complete the pass or get an interference call and march up and down the field all day. Probably could throw for 700 yards on them if you tried.

Steelers will be back, they will make the playoffs, I actually thought them beating the Eagles would be more of a lock than Pitt beating UNC. Of the two games, to me the Pitt game was more disappointing! The Steelers where Whooped, Pitt had yet another episodes of giving away a game that was basically won, LIKE THEY DO ALL THE TIME, WAY MORE THAN ANY OTHER TEAM, ANY OTHER SPORT, PROBABLY IN THE WORLD! I doubt any team in any sport in the world gives away games with a solid lead with little time left than Pitt does at an alarming rate year after year.

They were on Sunday but I don't think they're that good!
New coach, good but still a 1st year QB, with basically the same team as last year?
Steelers couldn't pass or run block, catch a football, or play D. That's not the same Steelers who beat the Bengals.
The Steelers looked Totally Flat and unprepared!
I will say it looks like the Eagles added a really good coach and Wentz could be the real deal.
Good smart football coaches who are engaged with the other coaches and players make a big difference. The Eagles HC was smart enough to enlist the help of a really good D coordinator along with good offensive coaches.
Instead of having a coach who stands on the sideline, with arms folded, and a WTF is going on look! The rest of the Steelers staff is as average as the HC.
The Eagles might have a good one we'll see!

When LeBeau was here he destroyed rookie QBs for a living. Incredibly disappointing to see yesterday.
