Because he had 1 mediocre preseason game

Burrow has the Andy deer in headlights look.

Fans boo them off the field.

Remember when we were wondering if rain would hurt or help? Simpler times.

Volson completely blows

The left side is killing us.

Carman got hurt or Covid I think and Volson kind of de facto won the starting job. Chances are the G we got from Texans cuts will get a strong look this week

No Burrow's inaccuracy cost them the TD. He had a wide open target the first time and the second one he led Chase too much.

Kansas City had us by 18 points TWICE last year. We’re receiving after halftime.

Don’t panic.

At this point, we don't look like a playoff team.

We look like a 10-7 team that had a lucky run and regressed. That's why this year is so important. Time to show we are perennial winners.

LOL. What a thing to ask.

They need to get slapped around in the locker room. Losing to a very sub-par Stoolers team. Did they forget last season...or are we just fooling ourselves? Or are we in a time paradox?

Talk amongst yerselves.

I love this guy. Everyone be like this guy

So, Volson has looked quite poor during the first half. I posted this on Reddit at some point, but the thought was that Volson winning the job was more of an indictment of Carman, not praise for Volson. I think we are seeing some evidence of that here.

It’s only been seven months since the first team offense played together.

I hope the asshole who started that Burrow never fails thread is happy with himself.

well unlike the chiefs, the steelers main focus on defense is to injure the offensive players

Carman also played bad in preseason.

Go in withn at least some points, trust your defense to continue to stop their offense when our offense doesn't hand them good field on a platter, and then do what it takes to get the offense's shit togheter and put up 7 points. Then we got a game.

[Housh]

I’m really gonna flip my shit if there are too many games where it takes us untikn2:39 in the 1st to target Jamarr Freakin Chase

That’s like having prime Shaq and running your offense thru the power forward
