Juju Smith-Schuster

Nope. You're wrong. 55-0 means they would have missed a point after. This would have been considered a failure!

and it would be Tomlin's fault for not coaching up the kicker

Be serious.....it would be Danny Smith's fault!

Only way that Tomlin gets the blame is if they went for 2 and missed.

Shouldn't be in this situation so many games we should have won Raiders be one of them alot of blame across the board.

Great post!!

While I think Fichtner's 30th ranked run offense is worse than Butler's 13th ranked defense.....I would not mind kicking the tires on Todd Bowles once he gets canned. There are too many Steelers defenders standing around when somebody is in the grasp and thus some broken tackles and extra yardage given. The don't play to the whistle, they play to when they think the whistle is about to be blown. Plus having slow ILB's on WR's in the slot is terrible defensive strategy.

Agreed. Case in point.
On the Saints TD run where there were about 10 missed tackles, Davis was the last guy who missed the tackle and Dupree stood there assuming Davis had the runner down. Dupree should have run to the ball and helped. He just stood.

Yeah, I noticed that and even some 5 yard gains where some players are giving up because there is contact at 3 yards and the ballcarrier struggles forward for 2 more as guys look on.

I recall the phrase from a clinic a long time ago that, "Relentless Pursuit is Habit Forming" and Butler's defenses don't seem to have formed that habit. Its a culture that needs to be formed.

How can you not love a player that takes it much harder than you do? Ownership...

There is nothing that I don't like about him.

I'm not holding anything against Juju. Does it suck that he fumbled there? Yes. Do I think he lost the game? Hell no. He was trying to get a little extra, got a little careless and unlucky. As many clutch catches as he had all game, as much as he's done all year....I wouldn't give him a hard time. Not his fault we hadn't put that game away before that. Would I give Ridley shit? Hell yes...he has a history of fumbling and went into a crowd without putting 2 hands on the ball. Would I give Tomlin and Butler shit for yet another blown game with some truly piss poor coaching decisions. DEFINITELY. You want someone to blame...THAT's where it should go.

That game was lost when they stopped pressuring Brees and let him convert on 3rd-and-20.

One other note - ever notice how the Saints defense actually rips and punches at the ball to cause fumbles? When's the last time our defensive players have done that?

Watt, Hilton, and Davis do it almost every tackle. Hilton has missed a few trying for the rip. Watt almisr broke his hand a few weeks ago.

You're right. A year or two ago I would agree with Gary that we never went for the strip but they do seem to be much more aggressive towards the ball this year

Awww, I knew he would be devastated. I feel so badly for him. But, we all make mistakes. None of us are perfect. JuJu will be just fine.
