They should be illegal worldwide. All of those ads are detrimental to my visual and auditory health.

One week we blame the offense, most weeks we have blamed the defense. Just waiting to see more useless roster moves this week instead of looking at the one common denominator in all of the ever-mounting failures of this season: the coaching staff. If there isn't a major shakeup at the end of the season, I'll really have to wonder...

Funny, I didn't realize Jimmy Smith was a replacement player...I still look at this coaching staff as the #1 issue...

It's pretty simple talking heads, Pitta will be used as a slot receiver to create mismatches once he is back on the actual game field, I said this after we drafted Williams and Boyle. Both are already better blockers than Dennis ever will be amd with Crockett leading the group, we don't need another TE. But what we do need are reliable receivers and Pitta has always been just that when he is healthy.

Three catches for three yards?

I guess we should thank the Steelers for the charity win.

Thankfully I can immerse myself in the world of Metal Gear Solid V to forget this dumpster fire of a team.

Bahahaha, I'm done. Need to do some cleaning anyway.

Just echoing everyone's thoughts but it is so great to have Gillmore back. We really missed him the last two weeks.

Pessimism nor optimism have anything to do with it here, it's simply knowing football players. As you pointed out Peyton is on his last legs and Vick had 4 days of practice as the starter. But Derek Carr is a franchise QB in the making, a strong armed guy who is making better decisions with each start in his young career Josh McCown has always been a smart journeyman with the adequate tools to have big games. And as much as I despise Dalton, he has always been a good thrower with quality weapons to take advantage of porous defenses. Kaepernick is an athlete masquerading as a terrible QB who has regressed every year of his career. I don't doubt he could have a solid game with the way our defense is playing but if he throws for 400 yards, hell will have officially frozen over. If you are looking to be this big of a pessimist, it would be more realistic to think he will run all over us than to magically have the throwing talent that he simply doesn't have. We have after all allowed easy TD runs by the aforementioned McCown and Dalton and they are nowhere near as athletic as Kaepernick is.

Ten. Yards. Off. 9. Out. Of. 10. Plays. I have said it over a hundred times over the last few years so what is one more? I would rather see our DBs try to jam receivers within the 5 yards they are allowed to in order to disrupt the timing of short routes. I don't care if they get beat sometimes doing this. It's better than watching us give all of these passes up sitting in a soft zone...

What? A defensive stand? I'm shocked.

God this defense...

Foot, meet bullet

Aiken is actually the guy of these four I have the most faith in. We wouldn't have beaten Pittsburgh without him and apart from that terrible fumble against Oakland, he has been as good of a #2 receiver as we can expect. He made the most of his opportunities last year for a decent statline and has improved in my opinion each week this season. I really dig the Givens pickup and he will be solid once he has the offense down pat but I think it is unrealistic to think he will be extremely involved this week anyway. I also really like Waller's potential but this is also a 6th round rookie coming from a very run heavy offense so he still has a way to go. Brown to me is the biggest disappointment. After being one of the team's few bright spots his rookie year, he seems to drop at least one pass every single game now. I wish the best and hope he can truly contribute but the drops have me pessimistic about his role...

Close this thread, it's not happening for multiple reasons others have already mentioned.

What a garbage filler article. So our website already assumes we are out of the running for the division title after our 4th game? If this was week 10 or something and we were still looking up at the Bengals and Browns I could agree with pulling for them over other AFC Wild Card contenders but these teams still have 13 games to play. You'd better believe I'll be pulling for the Chargers and Chiefs this week.

I like the move. He had a solid rookie year as a receiver and returner but had been buried in the depth chart the last couple of years. Dude has some speed so this was much needed.

So at least two holds on on the Bell TD run but Juzsyzck called for late hit after after falling into punt returner's butt.

Nevermind, not even gonna try for points. Let's try out this Wild Turkey American Honey special "tap" bottle for straight shots..

I'm gonna be optimistic and say a TD since we have 3 Timeouts. Please don't drive me back to the bottle

Awful run D showing its head again. Should have been a holding call though on Steelers

Damn it Webb

Opposite, may have been why the Steelers' first 2 punts were both so poor before the punt after the D Smith sack. Both into the wind in the 1st quarter

They switch sides after the 1st and 3rd quarters brother. First was with wind at his back, Nance even said as much.
