Heh, kenny had some nice runs tonight. 2 back to back. 

The penalties were wild tonight. I've never even heard of a "Leverage" call. 

Solid win for the Steelers though. Canada even had a few good calls, assuming he still has duties.

Refs seemed intent to put the Raiders back in the game. They could call that on every field goal or extra point. That roughing the passer call was complete garbage too.

I’d like to know what the correct route was on the almost interception that Connor Heyward was running up the field and Picket threw it 5 yards behind him almost directly to Peters. Either ran the wrong route or Pickett thought the route was different. Kenny looked like an average NFL QB. Which is better than the past two games. O line giving him time makes a huge difference. Ability to run the ball and play action was huge. Crazy that Raiders are struggling to run the ball. NFL rushing leader last year possibly the best WR to open things up.

Did the NFL do away with the blow to the head PF against the QB's this year?  Kenny had two, and one was probably a facemask too, that weren't call but then that weak **** one was called against Fitzpatrick.  Now, I have no problems with the no calls on Pickett if they don't call that one late on Fitzpatrick but, in years past, if the D so much as pointed their finger at the QB's helmet/head it was an auto 15 yds...
Our running game needs some help....and that will open up the passing game some more.  Pickett left some throws/catches out there when he still looked like he was scared.  The receivers were there and they were open he just missed them.  But, I am not in his shoes with 300# lineman or a crazed LB bearing down on me either...

Fine line between panic and season is over. Got to let the dust settle a bit to determine what it is for the Stillers. Texans should not look like the 49ers…. Kenny out, Mitch seems to be a carbon copy. Looks great at times then absolutely horrible. I have to imagine if they repeat this next week with Ravens, Canada has to be removed during the bye. See what this offense looks like next year with a completely new system.

Dust settled with Pitt. Season over.

Have to agree with that, T on the Steelers. As for Pitt.... 38 points to a TERRIBLE VT team should show that Narduzzi and his team are just pretenders. I give it a month and they will have to start tarpping seats off again.

No offensive line help and Kenny runnin' for his life. Again. But the play calling? If Najee gets stuffed 3 times in a row on the left side, why would they run the same play 3 more times? Isn't that the definition of being nuts? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. They did better in the second half, makes me wonder if maybe Tomlin started callin' the plays. At least I think he should have. Maybe he's just givin' Canada enough rope to hang himself and givin' the Steelers and excuse to replace him before midseason. But they gotta start winnin! Baltimore next week, I think.

Lol...was stuck watching the game for the first half since it was on at my son's HS Golf team end of year banquet.  At halftime, after the speeches, awards and cake, we boogied on out of there and made a tee time to get 9 holes in....good choice, again.  
After golf, met the wife and daughter at the local farm where we have been going for 13 years to get pumpkins and mums...
Anyways, after yesterday's performance, more reason to just make a nice tee time and not even worry about watching anymore games.....
Defense blew chunks too...not just the O.

They made some sort of adjustment at half time.  If the adjustment was just challenging the O line and no actual scheme adjustment, it worked for a quarter.  I think getting Jones more reps at OT was a bit to do with it.  Not really sure why it took so long to put him in more, but I am not at practices.  Up until Canada decided to put Kenny in shotgun on 4th and 1 after they seemed to figure out how to rip run after run...  WTF???  I can see putting him in shotgun and running or at least play action.  Possibly one of the worst play calls of Canada's collection of horrible play calls.  Except for maybe the Kenny designed run in a similar situation.  
 
 
One quarter of quality play doesn't cut it though.  Both offense and defense.  The O line was abysmal for 3 quarters.  But showed promise of gelling.  Jones' draft profile was excellent, powerful guy that needs reps to solidify in pass protection, mauler as a run blocker.  Can't say it was just him in opening up the run game, but it was there in the 3rd quarter until Canada/Tomlin decided to stop using it.
 
Defense couldn't figure out how to stop the quick short passes.  3 years ago, Ben was lighting up defenses with the same thing, then was figured out.  EVERY defense played the same scheme to stop it once one figured it out.  As a defensive guru that was shown the scheme against your own team, how do you not at least try it?
 
I'm not completely giving up on the season, but if they refuse to make MAJOR adjustments next week and same results.  Lets just say that I will be fishing a lot more.
 
Thank you Nardookie for freeing up my Saturdays for fishing.  Maybe I will be able to score some free tickets to take my kid to a game, other than that I am am not even wasting another Saturday on that dumpster fire.
