We can take a lesson from how great teams close out a game - the mindset of going for it on 4th and 1 on that last drive. They "don't live in their fears".
Beat ourselves? I saw a team that got handily outplayed by a better team. Our secondary is just brutal unfortunately and cannot be relied upon to stop opposing passing games. Donte Jackson can't cover or tackle and Joey Porter had some nice plays today but was also burnt and missed the key tackle with Queen near the goaline to allow a first down/touchdown. Minkah is doing nothing (lost on the AJ touchdown and a bad whiff in the redzone). Unfortunately I still have no faith in our corners after seemingly finally solving that with JPJ who has been bad all year. Ugh
Steelers defense is dependent on the stopping the run and pressuring the qb. Eagles OL is really good - were able to protect even with empty sets for the most part
Eagles had 401 yards, we had 163 yards. Acting like this was some close game? What game were you guys watching? I didn’t think this game was close at all. The Steelers played an elite team and got smoked. Same song and dance the last 5 years.
Nah man. This wasn't that bad lol. We were najees fumble away from having a back and forth game. Only thing jv is our wide receiver core without GP. It's fine. They are yhe better team but it's not by much lol.
The Idea that Pgh D is elite should be seen by all to be clearly not so. Pass rush inconsistent, coverage spotty. Minkah??? Run D gets gashed at times. Y'all can wave your towels during renegade and chant DPOTY for TJ. But this, to me, is more of the same. At BEST, one playoff win. Can't beat Chiefs/Bills with this D. Be blessed y'all. Yashua rules!
Definitely one to grow on. Love your real time post game take guys. Hope we turn it around next week and everyone recovers! Welcome to the playoffs Steeler Nation! 🖤💛 Was hoping to see you there tonight!
I’m with you DK. Idk what some people were watching with this game. The Steelers were missing their most indispensable player and were in the red zone deep in the 3rd quarter looking to tie the game. I would feel ok playing Philly again w Pickens in the mix.
Can we please stop pitching the ball for runs between the tackles, complained every game every time they pitch the ball to Harris, makes no sense to me at all. STOP IT
You guys are forgetting that the Eagles could've scored on the last drive but chose to run the clock out...I like what I saw but know we were gonna loss...I'm not me at this game...
You can criticize them for not going for it, but the Eagles started on their three, hold them to 3 n out you get field position. Once AGAIN the defense cannot make a stop in the 4th qtr when they had to.
If I'm Tomlin I rest all the starters after The Baltimore game for the rest of the season. Give a big middle finger to the NFL on Christmas Day by resting the starters up for the playoffs!
He doesn’t really get open. He was never a solution. He has a similar skill set to George but without any speed burst or cuts. Better than van but really not someone to expect anything close to WR1 production when needed to step up. Steelers horribly dropped the ball on replacing diontae and Williams was just the best option left when it was about to be too late to get ANYONE
Thank you DK! So many are calling it quits already. 🙄😂 Good lordy, the mistakes they made today they hardly ever do that. Plus Minkah had to play different today and I figured the passing d would suffer from it. They will be fine. Even a d that normally gives Russ issues, Russ eventually started moving the ball good. Just the fumble and penalty hurt them
The D line and O line loss the battle today. Slow start, and they weren't good on 3rd down situations. Stayed in the game, kept it close than after najee fumbled, we never really saw the ball again. End of story. We got beat!
The Steelers won't dwell too long on this loss. They know exactly why they lost. True warriors rebound quickly. I think the Steelers will come back clicking on all cylinders! Russell Wilson is not a wuss! Hes not gonna throw in the towel and neither should we. Black 🖤 💛 😊
I was pretty convinced this was a double digit loss immediately after the Browns game. Eagles have far and away the best roster in football. The difference between our offensive rosters is laughable. We have like 3-4 guys who would start there across the entire roster (TJ, Cam, Boz, maybe Minkah)
BRAAAH, PLEASE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU BE LOOKING AT. NAJEE NEVER FUBLES. IN 5 YEARS ONLY 3 FUMBLE. 5 YEARS NEARY RUSHING FOR 5,000 YARDS. WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
I don’t mind that they lost. I wish they looked better as a team, but we weren’t getting the 1 seed, a non conference loss isn’t the worst thing to happen. Need to shock them into playing better
The Play Calling especially offensively is pure garbage!! This was the number 1 defense and I said to a very close friend if they don’t get creative on offense and continue to run, run and throw long or whatever it HASN’T WORKED ALL YEAR!!! Why not come out throwing slants or throw to Jalen or something different? And for the love of God what was the point of trading for Mike Williams if you are never going to use him!!! I thought we got rid of Matt Canada? Apparently he is still here!!! You can’t make it up!!! 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Yeah no, this was an awful game from the offense and pass defense in particular. How were they NOT throwing to Calvin Austin more? A deep shot to Van Jefferson in triple coverage when he's never going to come down with it isn't helping. They got Calvin going WAY too late for him to be effective and influential to the game. Why aren't we throwing on 1st down? Everyone knows Najee is coming up the middle - it's like running into a brick wall. Our run game is awful and plodding - we need to pass FIRST to set up the run later, when Najee tends to be more effective. This was terrible planning from the coaches.
Whatever, regroup, restart, next week we win the division. 4th Quarter was abysmal, they did those stupid pitches and it caused a fumble, they did use Muth! But left him as quick as they used him. I hope Watt wont be out for long and we should get Pickens back next week. Here we go stillers.
DK it’s time to stop calling Tomlin a great coach. I made the trip to Philly and I was totally embarrassed by such an atrocious performance by the offense. They beat themselves with all the penalties- how can Tomlin not get on their ass and act like “that’s football”? The defense held their own and I can see how they were tired after the 3rd Q but the offense absolutely sucked! All short yardage passes are suppose to win a game ? And Harris fumbling? Very disappointed!
I think some of you in here are over critical. The game was closer than the stats indicate. Offensive penalties ruining drives and especially the Najee fumble, killed them. I mean yes the Eagles did look like the better team, but if the Steelers would have played clean this was a one score loss at the worst.
A lot of players AND coaches should be ashamed to cash their cheques this week. Let’s hope they can come back next week, or it’s time to forget this year… and maybe Tomlin too.
“…simple mistakes they can fix…” it’s week 15! When exactly will they begin to fix these mistakes? Or is this just who they are…an undisciplined, sloppy team?
The offense had a chance to tie the game. They were in eagles territory, driving down the field very well. Had some momentum, then Najee fumbled and i think everyone understood that was game right there. Najee's fumble is one of the worst things ive seen a steelers player do. And i still dont think the steelers wouldve won had they gone down and scored a TD that drive. But it wouldve completely changed the dynamic of the game. It went from looking like a tied ball game, to a 14 point deficit. And we never had a chance to overcome that one. Gotta beat the ravens next week. Most important game of the season, need to bounce back.
Lets not forget that the eagles spared them the score could've easily been 34 to whatever......the score wasn't as cloes as the scoreboard would suggest
Is there really anyone that feels like this team under Tomlin will compete against a top 5 team , I personally don't and I think the last ten years have proven it , I dont think it's even debatable he cant beat top competition. And the Offense is a joke same s#!t excuse me but it is terrible I called a handful of plays tonight I'm not a scout by any means so imagine what philly's guys knew . This team has great , great players being wasted . How many more blow outs do yall need to see ??
Love the content DK, but the Steelers were absolutely dominated today. Not even close. Defense was abused and offense was ineffective. Tomlin was tomlin. Completely inept when it came to game management. 2 offensive possessions in the second half. 2:1 TOP favoring the eagles. Steelers had chances, but this was a beat down. I still believe in the Steelers but they’re too dependent on 3-5 players. Not as balanced as they need to be.
The eagles last drive has to be demoralizing. The defense got embarrassed
The Eagles had twice the points, twice the yards and twice the ToP as the Steelers. THat sounds like ablowout
What game did you guys see? Take aways & fumbles were only bright thing
They got smoked, destroyed. Five 3 & outs to start the game
We can take a lesson from how great teams close out a game - the mindset of going for it on 4th and 1 on that last drive. They "don't live in their fears".
They can get a yard easily - Steelers can’t
you could see us missing key players on both sides....i think the biggest missing piece was Deshon Elliot
You’re not going to mention the pitches to Najee for 2 yards that Arthur smith beats to death every game. Might as well bring back the jet sweep
5:56 - DK addresses the Pitch-outs..... we're gonna see more of 'em 😂
You have to make changes at half time. You can't go all game with Najee running into a brick wall and pitch outs
Beat ourselves? I saw a team that got handily outplayed by a better team. Our secondary is just brutal unfortunately and cannot be relied upon to stop opposing passing games. Donte Jackson can't cover or tackle and Joey Porter had some nice plays today but was also burnt and missed the key tackle with Queen near the goaline to allow a first down/touchdown.

Unfortunately I still have no faith in our corners after seemingly finally solving that with JPJ who has been bad all year. Ugh
Steelers defense is dependent on the stopping the run and pressuring the qb. Eagles OL is really good - were able to protect even with empty sets for the most part
at least somebody is speaking the truth here
I love your show because you are so positive in a good way and negative in a good way.
If,ifs and buts were candy and nuts we all would have a Merry Christmas.I hate pitchouts.lol
Would be nice if Minkah would start playing up to his pay scale. Earn more do more.
DK you're the best! So dedicated, so honest and a good sense of humor. Safe Travels!
A sad loss but maybe necessary.. just glad TJ walked off…🙏🏻
I agree..on 4th down with 10 minutes left-- you go for it for better or worse
Eagles had 401 yards, we had 163 yards. Acting like this was some close game? What game were you guys watching? I didn’t think this game was close at all. The Steelers played an elite team and got smoked. Same song and dance the last 5 years.
You didn’t watch the game
@@jakezion7881we did watch the game, without being biased. They got dominated in every aspect of the game. They made the Steelers look like a JV team.
Nah man. This wasn't that bad lol. We were najees fumble away from having a back and forth game. Only thing jv is our wide receiver core without GP. It's fine. They are yhe better team but it's not by much lol.
Yeah, not giving enough credit to the Eagles. Needed a gadget play and questionable call to move the ball.
The Idea that Pgh D is elite should be seen by all to be clearly not so. Pass rush inconsistent, coverage spotty. Minkah??? Run D gets gashed at times. Y'all can wave your towels during renegade and chant DPOTY for TJ. But this, to me, is more of the same. At BEST, one playoff win. Can't beat Chiefs/Bills with this D. Be blessed y'all. Yashua rules!
Ah, the pitch out to Najee! I was waiting for it and you did not disappoint DK!🤣
Definitely one to grow on. Love your real time post game take guys.
Hope we turn it around next week and everyone recovers!
Welcome to the playoffs Steeler Nation! 🖤💛
Was hoping to see you there tonight!
3:32 We have multiple TEs... Couple of the best in the league... Pat should be featured.. Sets up the run. Not vice versa....
the SKY did FALL, and pounded the Steelers into the ground.
I’m with you DK. Idk what some people were watching with this game. The Steelers were missing their most indispensable player and were in the red zone deep in the 3rd quarter looking to tie the game. I would feel ok playing Philly again w Pickens in the mix.
I think this game solidified the decision to not pay Naj.
Here We Go Steelers 🚀🚀🚀
Can we please stop pitching the ball for runs between the tackles, complained every game every time they pitch the ball to Harris, makes no sense to me at all. STOP IT
Yes please stop that play
Stop that stupid play, but if you must run it, then please do not run it with Najee, please 🙏🏾
Guy doesn’t deserve a contract extension
You guys are forgetting that the Eagles could've scored on the last drive but chose to run the clock out...I like what I saw but know we were gonna loss...I'm not me at this game...
DK we were never in danger of winning the game. There was just 1 legitimate good team on the field and it want the Steelers.
The middle of the field continues to be a problem on both offense and defense. Its been a problem for 10 years.
Absolutely, DK, we made crucial mistakes at crucial times. Outside of that i was encouraged by this game.
You can criticize them for not going for it, but the Eagles started on their three, hold them to 3 n out you get field position. Once AGAIN the defense cannot make a stop in the 4th qtr when they had to.
Liked connor heyward fullback blocking for Patterson.
They got dominated in every aspect of the game. Difference between contenders and pretenders.
Werong
If I'm Tomlin I rest all the starters after The Baltimore game for the rest of the season. Give a big middle finger to the NFL on Christmas Day by resting the starters up for the playoffs!
Well they always say that if you listen to the fans, you'll end up sitting with em 😆😆😆
Agreed beat Ratbird on Sunday , lock up division and rest players the rest of the way .
@marcderogatis8513 we play them Saturday I think it's on Fox and or the NFL Network!
Where is Mike Williams???? You had no passing game.
He doesn’t really get open. He was never a solution. He has a similar skill set to George but without any speed burst or cuts. Better than van but really not someone to expect anything close to WR1 production when needed to step up.
Steelers horribly dropped the ball on replacing diontae and Williams was just the best option left when it was about to be too late to get ANYONE
The muth, the muth, the muth is on fire.
Thank you DK! So many are calling it quits already. 🙄😂 Good lordy, the mistakes they made today they hardly ever do that. Plus Minkah had to play different today and I figured the passing d would suffer from it. They will be fine. Even a d that normally gives Russ issues, Russ eventually started moving the ball good. Just the fumble and penalty hurt them
The D line and O line loss the battle today. Slow start, and they weren't good on 3rd down situations. Stayed in the game, kept it close than after najee fumbled, we never really saw the ball again. End of story. We got beat!
Tough game… let’s bounce back next week!
With what? 6 more fg's?
@ are you even a fan why are you on this channel lol
@Wavyhustle90 yeah, been a fan since 6 yrs old. I'm 56 now. Just upset from lack of progress goin on 5 yrs now. It's the same 'ol song n dance
I bet that cup is "half full"
It was just a bad game, simple as that. Steelers are still the Steelers. Everbody else running to Baltimore saying we're terrible
You see Calvin defending Darnell? Unnecessary but I liked it, somehow. Except for penalty
The Steelers won't dwell too long on this loss. They know exactly why they lost. True warriors rebound quickly. I think the Steelers will come back clicking on all cylinders! Russell Wilson is not a wuss! Hes not gonna throw in the towel and neither should we. Black 🖤 💛 😊
I was pretty convinced this was a double digit loss immediately after the Browns game. Eagles have far and away the best roster in football. The difference between our offensive rosters is laughable. We have like 3-4 guys who would start there across the entire roster (TJ, Cam, Boz, maybe Minkah)
DK,It's was Really dumb mistakes that cost them the game
Najee continues to disappoint in key moments.
BRAAAH, PLEASE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU BE LOOKING AT. NAJEE NEVER FUBLES. IN 5 YEARS ONLY 3 FUMBLE. 5 YEARS NEARY RUSHING FOR 5,000 YARDS. WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
We all looking for a better rb, shouldn’t need 250 touches for 1000yds. Shouldn’t run out of breath after 15yds. Should be able to outrun someone
Win or lose I love my team .
2nd half, this team was bad...hopefully TJ is good
Missing GP, D Elliot think it would be a different game , still hung in there . Gotta get healthy. I hope TJ is okay
Thank you DK, Chris and Greg, Yes pitchouts ended up badly. They beat themselves. Kept the defense on the field way too long. Good one guys.
N. Harris, with that fumble - we lost the ball, we lost potential points, we lost momentum, we lost the game because of that fumble.
Dan that game wasn’t close at all, we looked terrible on offense and defense
I don’t mind that they lost. I wish they looked better as a team, but we weren’t getting the 1 seed, a non conference loss isn’t the worst thing to happen. Need to shock them into playing better
The Play Calling especially offensively is pure garbage!!

I thought we got rid of Matt Canada? Apparently he is still here!!! You can’t make it up!!!
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Tomlin not going for it on 4th down felt like throwing in the towel and calling it
No balls
Yeah no, this was an awful game from the offense and pass defense in particular. How were they NOT throwing to Calvin Austin more? A deep shot to Van Jefferson in triple coverage when he's never going to come down with it isn't helping. They got Calvin going WAY too late for him to be effective and influential to the game.

Our run game is awful and plodding - we need to pass FIRST to set up the run later, when Najee tends to be more effective. This was terrible planning from the coaches.
. . .seems like pitchouts worked against Bangles?
Yup...worst defense in the league
Whatever, regroup, restart, next week we win the division. 4th Quarter was abysmal, they did those stupid pitches and it caused a fumble, they did use Muth! But left him as quick as they used him. I hope Watt wont be out for long and we should get Pickens back next week. Here we go stillers.
It was a poor game other than special teams & a few defense take aways.
DK it’s time to stop calling Tomlin a great coach. I made the trip to Philly and I was totally embarrassed by such an atrocious performance by the offense. They beat themselves with all the penalties- how can Tomlin not get on their ass and act like “that’s football”?

Offensive penalties ruining drives and especially the Najee fumble, killed them. I mean yes the Eagles did look like the better team, but if the Steelers would have played clean this was a one score loss at the worst.
Steelers were out played in all 3 phases, really that game could have been like 37-13.
the curse continues. Wasn't important of a game though.
But 2 yards in the 1st, Eagles had the ball the entire 4th? We didn't even try
A lot of players AND coaches should be ashamed to cash their cheques this week. Let’s hope they can come back next week, or it’s time to forget this year… and maybe Tomlin too.
What game we’re you watching??? Philly dominated 😡
Get the 3 seed and do not do this in the playoffs! This game is not the season. We lost horribly in 2008 to the Eagles too.
If it wasn't for the turnovers it wouldn't have even been a game before the Najee fumble .
It was a competitive game until Najee fumbled … that simple…
“…simple mistakes they can fix…” it’s week 15! When exactly will they begin to fix these mistakes? Or is this just who they are…an undisciplined, sloppy team?
Stop trying to run laterall... Pitches and outside runs have killed us all year. We aren't built for it...
Yes…the sky is falling until Pickens and Elliot are back lol
Could easily lose final 4 games…oh wait, we clinched a WC birth…so final 5.
Wow ok just A little surprised but I like DKs positive take on the game I just knew he would come out ripping everybody lol
I'm glad that I turned the game off
I was at this game, in person, this game never felt close. The offense was terrible, and the defense couldnt get off the field on third down
The Eagles look like the team that the Steelers are aiming to be… 4 games remain to achieve it!
The offense had a chance to tie the game. They were in eagles territory, driving down the field very well. Had some momentum, then Najee fumbled and i think everyone understood that was game right there. Najee's fumble is one of the worst things ive seen a steelers player do.

It went from looking like a tied ball game, to a 14 point deficit. And we never had a chance to overcome that one.
Gotta beat the ravens next week. Most important game of the season, need to bounce back.
Our secondary blows always has. Only way joey porter Jr can be effective is holding in coverage. Minka is invisible. Steelers got dominated today
Lets not forget that the eagles spared them the score could've easily been 34 to whatever......the score wasn't as cloes as the scoreboard would suggest
There is no Positive they were Horrible period
I cant stand the steelers head coach and his owner.
Period!
Is there really anyone that feels like this team under Tomlin will compete against a top 5 team , I personally don't and I think the last ten years have proven it , I dont think it's even debatable he cant beat top competition. And the Offense is a joke same s#!t excuse me but it is terrible I called a handful of plays tonight I'm not a scout by any means so imagine what philly's guys knew .
