ICE NUT
Browns crying,Bengals really crying and well then there's the stealers.We do win in that we have the worst coaches in  and its time for a clean swap out!! Oh I forgot Pitt there another coaching disaster

Definitely need coaching changes for the Steelers. .From the top on Down! Pitt included.
Go Penn State!

We all saw that outcome…

Unfortunately, the defense, Pickens, Warren and special teams saved Canada’s job. Or, Baltimore’s WRs not being able to catch the ball more importantly. Pickett did enough to keep his job. He looked good when given time, O line needs to do better, but down two starters you really can’t give them too much grief. Jones will be starting OT from now on out. Herbig getting great playing time and if needed to stay in, will likely gel into a decent O line. Porter needs to be in the starting lineup. Imagine he will after bye.

It's a weird feeling. 
I agree with you 100% - his job got saved by a single touchdown. Kinda wild, but also fitting. 

The defense deserves better. It's an absolute shame. 

Obviously, we don't know what's going to happen moving forward. But we can make educated guesses. Maybe 30 points one time in a game and somewhere between 8-9 and 9-8 most likely.

From what I have heard, Pickett and Pickens went off script for that TD. Could be BS, but Canada looked mad when they cut to him.

Defense played like garbage for the first half though. If not for some drops on the Ravens end, Steelers lose that game and likely in the same fashion as the Texans/49ers. Second half the defense played inspired. Which they need to. There is much more money being spent on the defense than offense. When they had one of the top O lines in the NFL with Ben, Brown and Bell behind it, the amount of money they were paying on offense compared to defense was lopsided and guess which side struggled more then. Hopefully this O line can build some continuity. Just like last week, they struggled in the first half. Did well in the 3rd quarter (Harris last week, Warren this week). They need to be able to do that for more than a quarter though. Again, they do have two starters out and Daniels might be their best O lineman. There were a lot of other key players on the offense out. Not having Johnson and Freiermuth is huge. Austin missed most of the game too, which Kenny seemed to be developing some chemistry with. Kenny relying pretty much solely on another second year player with Robinson being slowly gaining his trust. Anyone here really trust Boykin or Gunner when you are passing into tight coverage? Could explain some of the non catchable balls to them, but on the money to Pickens. Those on the money balls to those guys are still 50/50 interceptions.

To me, that is where Canada and Tomlin are failing. There is enough game tape and practice reps to see what this O line does well at and where they struggle. Get the struggle stuff out of the playbook. Same thing with Kenny and receivers. Make your game calling to fit the players you have. Give Kenny the freedom to change plays at the line if he sees something.

Agree with the 8-9 or 9-8. Just hope they are in most games and can build off of it.

So they win fugly again. I get beside myself with the play calling. I know I mentioned this earlier in the season, but one thing that happened again today was that 3rd & 17 play to get to field goal range. Even the yardage was the same. It appears Canada has learned nothing across this season, and the bye week didn't do him a bit of good. On 3rd & 17, even if you can pick up 5 yards to get to a shorter field goal, why do you have the QB throw the ball laterally and expect a receiver to make 17 yards for the first. Fortunately, Boswick made the 53 yarder for the points. Another play was 4th and a foot before the final 2 minute warning. Pickett had already run 2 sneaks and got first downs, but there couldn't have been a single person in the stands or watching that didn't know what was coming. They really didn't make it but got a really good spot and call. I thought they should have run a back or a wideout just to try to mix it up and maybe catch LA off guard, or, they could have even tried a long FG. They were on the 39, another 10 to the goal posts, and another 13 or so to the holder. Even if you miss short, LA was out of TOs. Give the kicker a shot and if he misses, then rely on the defense, which was playin' pretty well. Boswick has hit from 58 or 59 yds. With Cleveland and Baltimore winning, the standings don't change much.

This team is just going to be aggravating to watch for a bit. We were saying the same thing here after Kenny’s second sneak. “If there is a third, they better not even think to do the same play”. Regardless if it was Canada or Kenny making that call, it was horrible. Both Najee and Jalen were doing fine in the second half. The O line was playing well (in second half). Lucky as heck they got away with that very generous spot. Canada isn’t going anywhere and just too hard to make a switch like that mid season. A win is a win in the pros. Rams at LA, having to make the trip is something Steelers typically stumbled with, even when they were SB level teams years ago. Rams were 3-3 with their best WR first game back. They have one of the best defensive linemen of all time. They aren’t a bad team by any means. Steelers have most of their salary cap in the defense, they should be winning games for them. Steelers decided to focus on defense years ago when Ben’s career was wrapping up and stuck him with a patchwork O line after their very good O line aged. If they would have went the route of rebuilding there instead of mid round selections and rebuilding through FA, Ben likely would have looked a bit better his final few years, but also likely still trying to play right now... Their OL is getting better. When given holes, Najee and Jalen are good backs. When given time, Pickens and Johnson can get open. If those guys are getting chunk plays, defenses have to adjust and opens up guys like Heyward and Robinson. Kenny is good enough to win if he has time, especially with the chemistry he has with Pickens and getting Dionte back. Even Canada’s horrible play calling works if the line is able to give time. Look at second half of season last year and the second half of this game. Still Canada’s playbook and play calling. Don’t get me wrong, not going to be KC or Phil level offense. But what their offense looked like in the second half is enough to win, if their defense plays like they do. Getting Freiermuth back will help too.

 The quarterback sneak is the highest % play to make a 4th and a few feet even when everyone in the stadium knows it is  coming. The Steelers would very really ever call it even with Big Ben. Brady would do it pretty much every time in those situations with a extremally high succuss  rate. Heck the Eagles can't be stopped on that play. They even did it on their own 25 yesterday with the lead. Only thing I would do different is put a couple big boys behind Kenny and plow him forward.
  Hope the league doesn't ban the quarterback sneak in the near future. One of if not the best plays in the game. 

They need 3 more wins to have a "winning" season. Lookin' a little doubtful right now.  A Pittsburgh poll is nearly 55% in favor of Mason Rudolph for this Sundays' starter against Cincy. And they called my most hated play at least 3 times. 3rd & 11, 3rd & 12, and 3rd & 18, let's have the quarterback turn to the right, (at which time the eyes of every defensive player goes with him), throw the ball out there and make 2 yards, (or possibly lose 10 yards), then punt. Kenny won't look off his primary, and he either doesn't or can't read the field, and has to either throw it away or take the sack. Do ya think they need a new OC? Wait, what? Ain't gonna happen this year. I should have put the boat in and fished the river. Would've been time better spent.

Was a rough one. Missed a lot of it but caught the last quarter. 

Somethings gonna give. One way or the other, either the wheels fall off or they claw back. Kenny just seems so scared and rattled. It's wild to think what he did in the preseason, and what he's done in 4th quarters and then see the dude last week. 

I'd expect him to start next week, and play well. Cleveland was a rough one, but bad games happen. Interested to see if he can bounce back. 

Hammer drops on Canada...Matt that is.  Steelers fans get their wish.  We'll see if it changes anything.  
 
#Steelers QB coach Mike Sullivan and RB coach Eddie Faulkner will work together to assume the role as offensive coordinator following the firing of Matt Canada, sources say. This will be Sullivan's third time in an OC role, having done so with the #Giants and #Buccaneers.
