Have you watched video of him? He’s a bully and it’s hilarious watching him block people. He’s like Hines Ward mean and the speed to be an elite receiver.

I still have hopes that Dan Moore can be a legit LT but right now that’s the number one need for this franchise. If he can become a legit LT by the end of the year that’ll allow the Steelers to revamp the DL. Either way, I think they’ll be a top 10 pick and might be able to get a stud LT and DL in the top 2 rounds.

That’s a bad throw and might be a game ending INT. That said, the holding penalty made the difference between 3rd and long and 4th and short.

None of the linemen on either side are good.

Or it was thrown where our moronic receivers should had been for the millionth time this year.

I hate agreeing with Collinsworth, but whenever the Steelers offense gets any kind of rhythm, Matt Canada does a stupid trick play to end that momentum.

I’ll agree the plays Canada sends in are dumb and confusing. Ben would do his thing especially this late in the game.

The Jets, Browns, and Patriots games were winnable and the Bills game could have been closer with a better OC.

Case in point, Dan Moore has been getting schooled all night and no one to help? Seriously?

Defense was crapped on by Canada. Then pissed on by Tomlin. They deserved better. It’s not a talent issue. It’s coaching.

Bad coaching and bad second half QB play. Steelers should have won this game.

I’m not a gambler but I have to assume Steelers covered the spread and 26 hit the under.

This is a badly coached team overall and Kenny Pickett is what he is. I think his mistakes are rookie mistakes he’ll outgrow but I don’t think he’ll ever lead the Steelers to a Super Bowl.

I don’t understand how a 4th and goal from the 3 where the defense gets a 5 yard penalty does not give the offense a new set of downs.

So was Claypool a problem in the locker room because he was on the trade block or was he on the trade block because he was a problem in the locker room?

Getting what should be a high 2nd round pick for him was great business.

I honestly would have been happy with a 3rd but what is likely to be a top 40-45 pick is a steal. The Steeler can very well have 3 of the top 50 picks in next years draft.

According to Schefter, Green Bay offered their 2nd and a later round pick. I figured for sure Chicago would have the higher pick. Especially after trading their 2 best defensive players. But after the Pack lost to the Lions I'm not so sure now. :lol:

I think Claypool would have improved the Packers more than the Bears to be honest with you.

That's a good point. I still think the Bears will have the higher pick. But everything I'm reading says Rogers is cooked.

With Watt back I think we lose 6-5.

I think Rodgers is cooked because he is, and always has been, a big cry baby. He’s pouting because he has crap receivers. It’s impossible to quantify how much Claypool helps the Packers over the Bears, but I think it’s pretty close either way.
