    Antonio Brown Clearly Not Right Physically Or Mentally To Start 2018 Season

    While the big story of the week is going to be the Pittsburgh Steelers defense being roasted off the field following their roasting on it, let’s talk for a brief moment about where wide receiver Antonio Brown is right now. The ninth-year veteran is not off to the sort of start to the season that he had clearly hoped, and has been visibly frustrated.


    Nevermind the off-field distraction that he has been dealing with stemming from an article about his personal dramas as exposed via social media, and his subsequent verbal attack. Or when he accused Ed Bouchette of being a racist after the veteran reporter Tweeted that he was seen limping off the practice field several weeks ago.......

    0-1-1 to start the season and...Steelers Nation goes completely apeshit.

    It would be funny if it weren't so predictable.

    Oh I see "Dodens Grav" (Matthew Marczi) wrote it. Big surprise there.

    I guess when you criticize the media, you make yourself a target. AB's emotions aren't the biggest problem right now

    0-1-1 with a shitty Defense. Back then the Steelers could play Defense and it gave them some kind of shot. With the Defense the way it is now, they'll be lucky to win 8 games.

    I’d be visibly frustrated too if the team looked like shit and I wasn’t being utilized At all.

    Yeahj. I'm trying to catch up on the game I largely missed. All I can find are unhinged rantings and crappy blog posts with no analysis.

    Same story. Whenever the Steelers lose, it is how they lost the game and never how the other team won. Watched another game today with some really knowledgeable fans and everyone was talking about how impressive the Chiefs offense is. How it is going to be hard for any team to stop, etc etc etc.

    Does this let the Steelers off the hook, of course not.

    But, again, this place is off the rails already.

    The other team won because Mahomes picked apart the defense, the DBs couldn’t cover any receiver, they couldn’t tackle and miscommunication was again a thing. Mahomes recognizes this and just destroyed them. Chiefs defense contained Conner, shit down AB and played better. Pretty much sums it up. It’s not always the other team winning. It’s sometimes the Steelers losing...teams that aren’t talented just find ways to lose and this defense is far from a talented defense.

    Yeah and until they have a "good win" - whatever that is - the "Fire Everyone and All Losses are Based on Bad Coaching" crowd will just fire up thread after thread of no information, no alternatives, and context using today's result to validate their opinions.

    Remember, whoever hates Tomlin and Butler the most is best Steelers fan!

    Here is a telling stat-line for Mahomes:

    3 drives, 106 yards & 3 TDs

    The offense gave them very short fields to start the game. True, KC probably would have scored anyway, but 35 yards per drive is tough to overcome.

    So what your saying is that Kansas City oupolayed Pittsburgh. Shocking. I know this is hard to wrap your heads around but KC is really good. THey are running a highly innovative offense that no one has tape on and is specifically designed to create maximum confusion in a defense so their yours QB doesn’t have to make many decisions.

    From what I was able to watch, what Ive read and watched since the end of the game — this went down exactly how most people thought it would. A total shootout that would be determined by either who had the ball last or who made one less mistake than the other team.

    I fail to see why this is the end of the world?

    The good news is that in the Taperiots’ last two Super Bowl titles, they got blown out by the Chiefs early in the season.

    Wasn't Dodens Grav the guy that was arguing that Mewelde Moore was the best RB in the NFL because of his high DVOA?? I think that was back on the SF board in the day.

    People think it’s the end of the world because for two weeks in a row now the defense has been pretty terrible, anything outside of Watt, Tuitt and Heyward is a question mark.

    The Steelers put themselves in a position to lose. Watt covering Sammy Watkins? Dupree (lol) covering Tyreek Hill?? Leaving Kelce wide open on pretty much every play? Even Spencer Ware was able to complete a pass to him. Hardly being outplayed...that’s just flat out putting your players into bad situations and the Chiefs taking advantage.

    Nah, that was UFN (UncleFuckNuckle). He loved Mewelde Moore because they both went to Baylor.

    Dodens Grav came later on, but was no less of a know-it-all and just as annoying.

    Then there was "Suddenness and Glide" Lakelander. He loved him some Ike Redman!

    It's a shame SF went offline - there were so many threads that were absolute comedy gold.

    Team has no one capable of covering Kelce. Hasn’t since Polamalu retired.

    Lbs on WRs is the trade off you make to get pressure when you play a 3-4 base zone blitz team. Like you have watched the Steelers before at some point in the last 20 years. This is not new or hard to understand. In this defensive system, you have LBs and sometimes DE covering skill position guys so you can try and get an overloaded pressure somewhere.

    I’m guessing it didn’t work. Doesn’t mean it wasn’t sound strategy to try.

    This is AB. He did this last year also. Remember the tantrum vs the Ravens?

    Why is it a "tantrum" with AB, but it's "dogged competitiveness" whenever Brady throws a shitfit (much more frequently) on the sideline?

    AB wants a ring, his work ethic screams it, his team (so far) is FUBARing another chance at one and he's frustrated. It's understandable. You think he doesn't realize that the window of opportunity slams shut when Roethlisberger finally hangs them up?

    The Steelers' Super Bowl window slammed shut on January 14, 2018. 2017 was these current Steelers' last shot. They went all in last year and failed. This is merely the decline afterwards while Ben plays out the string. The AFC has gotten better, and the Steelers have gotten weaker both on Offense with a diva RB on the wrong side of 25 in the middle of a holdout and has an increasingly putrid defense that can't stop anyone. There is nothing championship-caliber or even playoff-worthy about this team. Maybe 8-8 or something so we can keep saying Tomlin never had a losing season.

    I predicted that this season was going to be weak, people didn't believe me and so far its playing out like I expected. This is the beginning of the end of the current Steelers era, just like 1980 was the end of the 70's Steelers.

    Don't be surprised to see this group fade and enter transition phase for the next few years.

    There was a play in the 3rd quarter where the Chiefs had a receiver split out wide left isolated on Vince Williams

    I was sitting on the Steelers side of the field and watching the Steelers try to substitute defenders in person is far worse than it appears on TV
    Thanks for the memories

    Thing is they aren’t getting pressure and putting guys in positions where they aren’t capable. You can’t continue to put a square peg in a round hole. If a guy’s not talented enough to do the job you can’t just try to force him into a plug and play position. You have to come up with something different. This team doesn’t gave the talent on defense to be plug and play. The starters other than 3 players are average at best and the depth is well below average. That won’t cut it in any scheme. Itseems like it is happening more often as well...or maybe I am noticing it more because the mismatches are so great.

    In the past there has been depth and skill and they were able to run the 3-4 schemes...that is severely lacking at this stage this year in more than just a couple spots.

    AB is fine. Once, or if they start winning everything will be back to normal.

    Kinda disappointed no one else was flipping out on the sidelines tbh, someone needs to show heart with frustration.
