Maybe if we had started the season off vs juggernauts like Miami and Arizona we would feel better about the effort.
One positive is that we didn’t play down to a lesser opponent. We just failed to play up to a better one.
That after the obligatory road loss in Foxboro the Steelers only play 2 of the next 8 games on the road @49ers and @Chargers
It isn't the loss people are concerned about. The Steelers have lost countless games before just as pitiful as this one, its the issues that were in that loss, that lead to the team previously stacking losses. The complete and utter lack of preparation. The bad communication and confusion on Defense. Bad Tackling. Its the typical traits of a Tomlin-coached team.
Please stop saying that there is "The complete and utter lack of preparation".
That is completely false and just plain wrong. Maybe the preparation didn't work, but there was and always will be preparation going into a game. People that claim that don't know what they are talking about.
I understand that fans are disappointed and pissed at their performance in the first game. I am too. But let's not make up things that aren't true to fit the narrative you are trying to create.
