You gave that award out a couple posts too early, Sweet.

Where was T. Eifert today?

[wolfkaosaun]

He had more catches and more yards than Eifert on the same amount of targets. So guess that means Eifert is a bust too.

Or could be the fact that this offense scripted it's plays a lot of the time (count how many times they motion the WR and run the ball, it'll drive you crazy rewatching it), Zampese struggled with halftime adjustments as always, and overall poor execution.

And hey, Boyd ranks 4th among all rookie WRs in yards. 3rd in receptions. Most 3rd down catches for a 1st down among all rookies.

And he was doing this in an offense where he was the #3 guy and only saw 598 snaps this year.

He's been in on less than 57% snaps 5 games this year. 2 times under 40%. 1 game at 35%

He's a rookie and has actually done well when they have looked to him. I can think of one time he messed up (TD catch against Giants). But plays like that happen. I'd like to see more of Boyd on the outside and more deep shots to him.

Where the hell was he today? Was expecting a good showing from him.

Tyler Boyd was double and triple covered all day.  The Steelers always do that to their opponent's primary receiver -- something Paul Guenther should learn to do.

This has to be a joke. Is AJ a bust he only went for 20 something yards in the first meeting, is Eifert a bust how many catches did he have today? People need to stop with these stupid overreaction post because a ***** team lost and players didn't play well.

I did indeed. Unfortunately I'm not a barbarian and don't do take backs.

Welp these boards have officially gone off the deep end. 

I may hang em up until training camp.

Ahhh.  Factual information and insight.  You saved the thread.  

This is dead on.  Boyd will be TJ, AJ is Chad, the only thing missing is a Chris Henry.  Here's to hoping that Cody Core is the answer.

Plus, they have a solid corps of TEs, although they seem lost on how to use them.

We're losing for the following reasons.

1. The o-line has been abysmal
2. The run game has sucked all season. It's been 90's level bad.
3. Lack of pass rush
4. RZ offense. Particularly passing.

I mean, there might be a few other issues, but this is 90% of the reason we're 5-8-1 right now. Some players are playing well, or at least decent considering the circumstances, but it's not enough to make up for the glaring issues we have. Mind you I don't think Atkins, Dunlap, Dalton, Pacman, LaFell, etc are having great seasons by any stretch...but they've been pretty good. Just not as good as in the past and not good enough to make up for the problems I listed.

You forgot kicking.....but that's been at least addressed.  Trench play has been the MAIN issue all year, as you noted here.  Both sides of the ball are playing like they squat to pee.  They're PATHETIC.

This team hasn't known how to use a TE since maybe the late 80's. They basically use them as a glorified 6th offensive lineman.

They haven't covered many since then either.....

Yep. Kicking cost us 2 wins at least, but like you said, trench play took a big step back on both sides, and as they say...games are won and lost in the trenches. The d-line has been neglected for too long and PA has drafted some real busts on the o-line. Now we're reaping the result.
