The sad thing is, players will get fined when there is no penalty then get fined for criticizing the ref. Why are the players held accountable for errors but the refs get a pass?

Pass interference on Pierre
Roughing the passer on I can’t remember
No roughing the passer on Pickett (I’d be okay if neither were called but don’t call one without the other)
Mistake on the FG that cost the Steelers 3 points

Those are just off the top of my head.

I can see a player fine if the refs were fined for the mistake, but to not hold the refs accountable and still fine the players is egregious and hurts the integrity of the sport.

Three possibilities with Canada:

1) his schemes are too sophisticated where the QB and WR can’t get on the same page because they incapable of comprehending his genius

2) his schemes are pedestrian but we have the dumbest players in the entire NFL and they can’t execute basics

3) his schemes are total **** and even when executed perfect it results in 7 yards of offense in the first half until we get a 2:00 drill going and he has less influence.


I’m going #3.

Josh McDaniels is looking for work. Back to offensive coordinator?

Steelers don't have enough spies and opposition practice photographers to make him a good coach.

Canada’s offensive plays are like data through a Cat-6 cable. If the distance is too long, you lose speed and get errors.

Is this already the best opening drive in the last two seasons by simply getting to their end of the field?

Who kidnapped Matt Canada? This actually looked like an NFL offense.

Definitely the best opening drive by the offense in the past two seasons.

They really need to stop protecting QB’s so much, these aren’t penalties and it’s compounded when they don’t call what happened to Pickett last week.

I just want consistency. Pickett better get the same call.

Wow. Penalty for tackling the QB. Might as well pile drive him into next season.

If you really want to say body weight is the determining factor then add force detectors to the QB’s gear. If the refs think it looks bad then check the data. It’s better than this subjective BS.

So we have given them more yards in penalties than they have actually moved the ball themselves?

Two things that had nothing to do with the play give them a first down. Sloppy by Porter.

Titans offense has 32 yards. Steelers defense has 45 yards of penalties.

This offense can't win. Most of the time it's bad play design or Pickett's is inaccurate. That's probably a TD for Pickens.

I think that’s two misses on open receivers so far.

Probably should had made sure we had more than one safety on the roster in case he got hurt.

I love the defensive scheme that has your run stopping inside linebacker one on one with a fast receiver.
