What is the strengths of the KC offense? We knew going into this game they have speed. They have a top shelf TE. They have a very good QB in Mahomes. They have a legit run game.
What has been the weakness of the Steeler defense? Slow LBs and poor tackling.
They just beat us today. We'll get them next time. Probably in the playoffs.
Yes, Butler should be fired. In the NFL when you have no answers to stop the other team - none - you should be terminated.
Jax 21 NE 3 ....lol
It’s a safe bet. Steelers won’t right this downward spiral enough for it to really matter. They don’t have the talent on the defensive side of the ball no matter who you want to bring in as a DC. Unfortunately, it’s just not there. Right now the Steelers have a 4% chance to make the Championship game at their current record and a 1% chance to make and win the Super Bowl. Not good odds.
Here's the worst part, they went 0-1-1 against teams they have owned in recent years. They still have to play teams that have gotten the best of them in recent years in New England, Jacksonville, Oakland (in Oakland), Denver, and New Orleans
Kansas City Chiefs thumped New England 42-27 last year and we know who ended up where at the end of the season. It's only week 2.
I will say it again ....
Butler is a slow communicator , listen to any interview when posed with a question it takes him time to process the question , and then he stammers upon answering and is slow to communicate the answer ...
the game and its situation is the " question" if you will ...... and with just seconds to communicate the call he takes to long and then the green dot player does not have enough time to communicate to the team on the field and that is why we are seeing seemingly 2 or 3 different defenses being played on a single down ...
That's my theory ( and was before his hire ) and I am sticking to it .......
Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles problem now
I have said many times that your defense is only as good as the weakest player in your secondary, and that has been on full display this season and parts of last. Without Haden in the lineup, we are a good 10-20 points worse. Not just because of him, but a kind of cascading failure across the defense that starts with a weak CB.
Sutton and the young guys look to have taken a step back.
See you Space Cowboy ...
I am by no means a fan of Butler. But let's take a serious look for a second. He takes over in 2015. 2014 was Lebeau's last year. And Lebeau's later teams and so far Butler's, have struggled to get stops in certain instances. There are some games where they come out great. Some games where they come out and get Ragnaroked like they did today, like in 2015 against the Raiders (although Landry Jones managed to salvage a game wining drive). Or the Jacksonville game... or like in every Patriots game. Usually, the defense does stand up, at least for a little while, to the division rivals (the home game against Baltimore last year was an exception). I believe that Butler is a good example of what we hound the offense for... inconsistency. Some days the offense shows up, sometimes they don't. Sometimes they start slow but turn it on eventually. Ultimately, this current Steelers team is built around inconsistent coaches and players that have all the potential in the world, but never truly live up to it. This is not a good foundation. I'm not sure what I would do to the team. I think I fire Butler. I probably never hire him. Actually, after that Wilcard loss to Baltimore, all the defensive coaches would have been cleaned out. I have a serious sitdown with Tomlin about the inconsistency, drama, and distractions and usually poor public image that haunts the team. And finally, I would more then likely sign Bell. lol That last part is a joke.
