I blame both Pickens and Friermuth for dropping those passess; I blame the O-line that led to a non-existent running game and too many sacks on Russell Wilson and of course, I blame OC Arthur Smith for calling a terrible game!!!!!
I would also blame Russel Wilson, we need a real QB, obviously our O line is not doing the job but is kind of obvious with a young O line, GP didn’t play well today, 88 didn’t caught one pass, but the veteran QB hasn’t done much, and the OC has been quite shy so… another disappointing season
We do not deserve to be in the playoffs and I hope that Tomlin breaks the record for being the most losing coach (one and done) in the playoffs and I hope that record is exploited.
@@beckybarnett2066 He already has 8 play-off wins and been in 2 Super Bowls, winning one, so you're not getting your wish. He will be in the Hall of Fame though.
@johnnyp-bo4mz he's been with the Steelers for 18 seasons now. The first and only super bowl win of his was with Bill Cowher's team. He needs to move on.
Right Jack!! Fields is the best athlete on the team. Just standing around, and that is TOMLIN's JOB to know that! Fields is 230 lbs, with a 4.4 time in the 40! And a 24 ft long jump!! And he can CATCH too! My cousin played with him at Ohio State, and in practice he would catch anything you threw to him!
Not really. Look at the teams with good running games. Runs don’t work 70% of the time. But you HAVE to keep trying. If you abandon the run then passing gets harder. A team has to think there’s atleast a chance you’ll run. Look at the pressure that Wilson faced on that last drive. Because there was no threat to run
@@majr_ I get that. But let’s look at some good running teams. The eagles. Against the Steelers they averaged 3 yards a run. And if you take away their 2 longest runs they only averaged 2.5 yards on 40 carries. But guess what. They ran it 40 times. You can not give up
Nope ! If Russ was 6'2-6'3 it would be a different game he can 't over the O-line..hold the ball and get away from the pass rush period! Against top teams
@@janicec1948 what I am saying is that every thing that Jack gave an excuse about tonight has happened to Justin earlier in the year and if you listen to Jack then Justin is not a good QB. But Russ with those excuses that Jack gives him.
@@ericthurman1050facts. The fact is if Justin were the QB1, the Steelers offense would be better. I like Russ, but Fields is the dual threat youthful player that needs to be our franchise QB for the next 15+ years. Develop him properly in the future. Im not against bring Russ back next season along with Fields. He is a good mentor for Justin. I would want Justin to work with Tom Brady in the offseason.
I agree with everything you said, but JF is not coming back to Pittsburgh. Think, if you were JF, would you come back as a free agent after being treated the way he was treated? I would come back unless we paid him far more than anyone else.

Hard to truly judge Wilson when out starting tackles are complete trash; the guy is under constant pressure. But with that being said Wilson's pocket presence seems to be gone.
LOSS is on OC Arthur Smith's ABYSMAL play calling. I think the Steelers have a chance against the Ravens IF they spread it out as the host of this podcast says!
So u couldn’t have watched the game…you obviously didn’t see the players lookn like trash, we had chances to win but the offense was atrocious, & Tomlin can’t make these players do their jobs, he’s not on the field.
Wow.... And just to think Pickens was a menace at the beginning of the season..... And now..... He's fallen apart😢 dropping easy ahh passes, beefin with teammates in the locker room...... Dude that guy's gotta go. We gotta find a new find wr that won't act like a toddler over a loss. He may as well be Antonio Brown.😢😢
From what I seen . Pickens was playing like the pissed off youngster he is. Meaning it seems like he wanted to say you want to blame me. Well here you go my bad...
Could not believe the Pat Friermuth drop at the end on 4th down! He's usually SO sure handed. He certainly picked the worst time to become Mr Butterfingers! Heartbreaking!
Respectfully you do not know ball. Russ has struggled 4 weeks in a row to pass beyond 10 yards how is that on the coaches? He took bad sacks on that last drive. Fields at least adds a different element to the offense. Don’t let Russ’s performances against mediocre teams earlier in the season fool you. Fields is the guy and has always been because he can create explosive plays outside of the 50\50 balls unlike Russ
@ what’s delusional about it? Russ is not good at all and it’s beyond obvious. You guys just don’t want it admit you were wrong but it’s out there for the world to see. You have loss 4 straight and hasn’t Scored more than 17 points. If anything you sir are delusional.
@Jayyperryy Mr Wonderful will be sure to lose the game. He is a selfish jerk with his fancy talk. He has been awful for now 4 years in a row. Sure he looked great against bottom dwelling giants but it's not them you meet in the playoffs. Justin needs to get out of pittsburgh.
RUSS BEAT: NYJ, NYG,WASH,RAVENS,BENGALS. Now, boz has had to save both qbs. and the defense has saved and let down both qbs. but only one QB gets credit for being good and one is called bad by Jack. I will let you figure it out. jack we love you even tho you are a major Russ fan boy
The lack of offensive consistency has been the BANE of the Steelers for running on a half a decade. No matter how great the D is - if your O can't stay on the field, can't make 1st downs, and score when they get opportunities and when they really need to - you're not gonna win.....
@@bobbyraejohnson Right. How can it be more critical than a sure TD, on 3rd down? That's what happened. This loss is purely on Tomlin, and no one else. He has to know what to tell his assistants what he wants. That's what his job is!
Dude, it’s all about situational football. There were critical plays in each of these latest losses that totally changed the momentum of the game. We clean those up and, I agree, open up the offense more, we could seriously go to the Super Bowl! Unfortunately, it might be too much to ask right now with the offensive group that we have right now. :(
As long as Tomlin is the coach this team is always going to be mid cuz we never get high draft picks we always finish just good enough to get in the middle of the draft you can't rebuild a team with the middle of the draft picks
🙄 It's hard to judge Wilson's play when they literally DON'T LET HIM THROW! Arthur Smith's obsession with the ground game is insane. He has no ability to adjust!!!
@@cuzheavy4079 holds the ball too long?!? Did you actually watch the game? First of, Burrow got sacked just as many times as Wilson. 2nd, Russ was called to throw only 31 times against a Bengals secondary that is arguably the worst in the league. In contrast, Burrow threw 46 times. That game should've went blow-for-blow, like the first game did. Instead, Arthur Smith kept calling stupid run plays. 3rd, when a pass call was made, Russ had about 3 secs/avg in the pocket to throw bc #1: the O-line is crap and #2: the WR's (especially Pickens) ran shitty routes and weren't getting open. Watch films before you comment nonsense!
@@citizen1130 yes I watched I actually know how to analyze the game and can tell you why a play happened and why it didn't and a lot of times he throws the ball too soon also because he's flinching scared to take a hit his awareness is trash screen passes and moon balls ain't getting it
I agree, Russell should of passed the ball more! But I felt that Justin field should have been able to throw more himself. So I blamed the offensive coordinator on that. We are passing team with this lineup not a running team. Pass so did the run can be successful.
For those that think Russ should be bench is delusional, Russ had 400 passing yards against this team and their game plan was to run the ball all the time instead of throwing it? Like why
This team has not been competitive in the last 4 games. Our offensive game plan is trash and has been for most of the season. I believe that we will not win a playoff game this year, and this is due to not having a WR2 and not playing to our strengths. This is another ho hum season for which there is nothing to be proud of. Pickens needs to be traded for draft capital, the O-line needs work, help in the secondary is needed and this team need to work on 1 yard plays in practice . Everyone else is getting hot while we are getting cold no heart on this team on the offensive side of the ball.
I agree they should use Justin Fields more often. The three times they went for it for first down on their third down Phil's could have made a difference
Steeler Are done, the coaching staff has no answers, the team is weak, we have no receivers. Its time to blow it up and let a younger new head coach come in with a new staff to make changes. The steelers are a very predicable.
Absolutely, there's room for optimism - I'm moreso annoyed with other so called steeler channels hating on the players and having complete melt downs - those channels should get off the Steelers train and gravel on another team. Let's go, Steelers! It's a clean slate. They got themselves a spot in the playoffs. If they don't let Russ cook and keep with the lack luster plays, then it's on the offensive coach, probably taking a payday behind closed doors, as they say, No Cap. 😅
Bench Wilson after three games, now four of shity performance. I don't know what game you was watching, Wilson SUCKED in the fourth. Try Fields, can't be any worse. Normal I say use Wilson to get to the Red Zone and switch to Fields for Red Zone play. There are more options.
Here was Arthur smiths plays in the first half Run up the middle on first Toss play on second Mid to deep shot (normally outside the numbers) on 3rd Punt The play calling has been horrendous. At least they finally utilized friermuth this game
Authur Smith is awful as an O-Coordinator and has been all season; we need a younger, innovative Play Caller that doesn't solely rely on Play Action; what happens when u can't run? You watching it unfold right before your very eyes...smdh
I agree! Let Russ cook, and let the ball fly. So glad u said it. I'm thinking maybe the players had warm skin on, causing all the ball slips. I blame the play call from the coach coordinator. There are moments for JF to play in certain instances.
Y’all were trashing Fields and talking big about how Russ will lead you to the promise land. You guys are guaranteed one and done with Russ as the starter. Justin Fields would’ve helped you guys win the division.
@@JackSlatersPontiacit’s just a revolving door of excuses one loss every game same cycle when Russ was beating up on awful teams he “truly unlocked this offense” now for 4 weeks straight the O line just decided there gonna suck now and receivers to gtfo😂
I totally agree with you. You're not an idiot. They definitely to throw the ball more. They need to get Justin Fields out there more but also the drops. Oh my gosh, it's all the time drops. I just couldn't believe with Patrick, friarmuth dropped that pass for the first down and a go ahead. Probably fuel goal to win the game. I also thought that we could either play the Texans or the Ravens. It all depends on how the chargers do
I blame everyone but the fans...these coaches are over thinking... Also...Run the 2 min from the get....keep it moving fast all game...low and slow approach is not working...
Jack, you're probably not gonna read this but what I think needs to be said is last year the Steelers were 7 - 4 when Kenny Pickett got hurt. They lost that game so his QB record was 7 - 5. You consistently dogged him. Russ was 6 - 5 as a starter this year, ( with a better defense). As Mike Tomlin says, "their business is winning." Kenny was a young, developing QB who had a lot to learn about being an NFL QB but at least he was winning while he was learning and that's a good start. And for all the Mason Rudolph lovers, he's 1 - 4 as a starting QB this year. Kenny may not be a good fantasy QB, but he was winning games for the Steelers. I think the only real concern about Pickett is his ability to stay healthy and if that's really why we got rid of him for Justin Fields well at least that makes some sense. Short point 2, while our defense played better then they have been tonite, (in a bend don't break kind of way), the Bengals had 38 mins t.of p and went up down the field on us early. They need to find some pride and start hitting people out there. Finally, that was a team loss. Bring back Tomlin, bring back most the guys, but maybe a new offensive line coach and maybe a new defensive coordinator and offensive coordinator.
It's unbelievable that we ended up finishing with the same record as we had with Kenny Pickett,Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph. We also know there wont be "hell to pay" when Tomlin has another first round exit, Tomlin will never get fired and he is immune from any true criticism time after time.
He’s a Russell Wilson jockstrap sniffer I get it when Russ was playing great and being slandered but Russ has under performed ever since that first steeler game. And he won’t even give honest criticism of Russ it’s always the next guys issue when you can clearly see Russ just isn’t giving you enough we’re not even getting constant field goal drives atp we either score or 3 and out
George pickens gotta show more effort regardless of who is throwing the ball. But honestly we need to put in Justin fields and pass the ball, target the skys if he don't know what to do by now he will never know but he is the better qb overall
The annual Dec fade...a tradition as old as time...only exception is last year. Steelers will go nowhere beyond a "non-losing season" as long as Tomlin is in charge...
Did Pickens have $$ on this game?? Or is he trying to force his way out of Pittsburgh AB style?!? Do you think we could get a 2 and a 3 for Pickens or has his attitude killed his value??
My confidence level that they will win next week in the wildcard game is 50% I agree with what all you said. Turn Russ loose next week, he’s a veteran, let him call the plays. No one needs to be fired. Who are we gonna replace them with??? Make them step up their game next year, hold them more accountable.
Facts: We have the talent for sure. it's the schematics on both sides of the ball. Coaching has been holding this team back for years. This OC doesn't play with 4 downs. In every series he has a throwaway down. When we pass to run we win.
@xzombie0678 tomlin said in the press conference that he is aware his starters aren't good and he knows some of his backups are better but still keeps starters
We looked so good with Warren catching passes against these guys last game… why not spread the field with Wilson and let Warren cut em up. I don’t get it
You have to let Russ throw the ball… ground and pound … pass to run correct…offensive line is shot…not tomlin this is on offensive aurthur smith…no excuses for aurthur/..
I talked to people a few weeks ago telling me Pickens was a top 5 in the NFL right now. On what planet where are you now he had an amazing game yesterday 😂
This dude lives Wilson and it is Wilson fault I seen open wr and he’s not seeing him so it’s not Arthur Smith fault either it’s Russ fault period he haven’t scored more then 17 points in last 3-4 games, our line is horrible yes but a lot is on Russ too that’s why we need Fields to start because he is built for this type of line and Wilson’s not but we all know Wilson isn’t going to get benched even tho he can’t score off the worse defense in the league so let that sink in, Wilson suck at everything else but the deep ball and our defense wasn’t that good either, the Bangles mess ups made our defense look good and the bangles only had chase and Joe on offense and they still won we suck period and Wilson sucks too Mr Wilson lover, if Fields loss 4 in a row you be saying bench him yall be hypocrites when it comes to our QBs

This is on Arthur Smith and Mike Tomlin, because with all the offensive coordinators we had it seems like Mike Tomlin is pushing them to run more.
Those damn toss plays
Yup its so he can have a scapegoat
It's the OC fault
0%
It's the Steeler way. Run and stop the run. But does it work in 2025?
Russ had 6 pass attempts in the first half. That is unacceptable.

🙄 It's hard to judge Wilson's play when they literally DON'T LET HIM THROW! Arthur Smith's obsession with the ground game is insane. He has no ability to adjust!!!
He has plenty of chances to throw he can't see the field and holds the ball too long
@@cuzheavy4079 holds the ball too long?!? Did you actually watch the game? First of, Burrow got sacked just as many times as Wilson. 2nd, Russ was called to throw only 31 times against a Bengals secondary that is arguably the worst in the league. In contrast, Burrow threw 46 times. That game should've went blow-for-blow, like the first game did. Instead, Arthur Smith kept calling stupid run plays. 3rd, when a pass call was made, Russ had about 3 secs/avg in the pocket to throw bc #1: the O-line is crap and #2: the WR's (especially Pickens) ran shitty routes and weren't getting open. Watch films before you comment nonsense!
@@citizen1130 yes I watched I actually know how to analyze the game and can tell you why a play happened and why it didn't and a lot of times he throws the ball too soon also because he's flinching scared to take a hit his awareness is trash screen passes and moon balls ain't getting it
@ all of what you just said is opinion-based rather than fact-based. Quite the analysis
Jack is spot on
Id like to see more JF packages definitely on 3rd and 1 and red zones
I agree, Russell should of passed the ball more! But I felt that Justin field should have been able to throw more himself. So I blamed the offensive coordinator on that. We are passing team with this lineup not a running team. Pass so did the run can be successful.
For those that think Russ should be bench is delusional, Russ had 400 passing yards against this team and their game plan was to run the ball all the time instead of throwing it? Like why
Control the clock less opportunity for joe burrow and the offense to make a splash play and more time for defense to rest.
This team has not been competitive in the last 4 games. Our offensive game plan is trash and has been for most of the season. I believe that we will not win a playoff game this year, and this is due to not having a WR2 and not playing to our strengths. This is another ho hum season for which there is nothing to be proud of. Pickens needs to be traded for draft capital, the O-line needs work, help in the secondary is needed and this team need to work on 1 yard plays in practice . Everyone else is getting hot while we are getting cold no heart on this team on the offensive side of the ball.
Arthur Smith would rather have Fields in then Wilson, Offense is limited with Russ. Russ could not cook kraft dinner at this point.
I agree they should use Justin Fields more often. The three times they went for it for first down on their third down Phil's could have made a difference
Just put him in the game. I dont care about that draft pick
@joshpowers9820 I agree
Spot on Jack !!!!!
I think we have a chance , all your points are correct
Some people blame George and say he doesn’t want to play anymore the real reason is Russ doesn’t want George to play anymore
All above
Steeler Are done, the coaching staff has no answers, the team is weak, we have no receivers. Its time to blow it up and let a younger new head coach come in with a new staff to make changes. The steelers are a very predicable.
Absolutely, there's room for optimism - I'm moreso annoyed with other so called steeler channels hating on the players and having complete melt downs - those channels should get off the Steelers train and gravel on another team. Let's go, Steelers! It's a clean slate. They got themselves a spot in the playoffs. If they don't let Russ cook and keep with the lack luster plays, then it's on the offensive coach, probably taking a payday behind closed doors, as they say, No Cap. 😅
Bench Wilson after three games, now four of shity performance. I don't know what game you was watching, Wilson SUCKED in the fourth. Try Fields, can't be any worse. Normal I say use Wilson to get to the Red Zone and switch to Fields for Red Zone play. There are more options.
Naw, leave JF out of this. You all had a chance to play him and decided to play a Russ.
Love our steelers, but we dont deserve to be in the playoffs, its rebuilding time
Rebuilding time? They been "rebuilding" for years! The only thing theyve built is being the joke of the nfl 😂😂😂
@davyjones922 they a Lil above than average,,
Starting with a new head coach
The loss is on everyone.
Here was Arthur smiths plays in the first half
Run up the middle on first
Toss play on second
Mid to deep shot (normally outside the numbers) on 3rd
Punt
The play calling has been horrendous. At least they finally utilized friermuth this game
Authur Smith is awful as an O-Coordinator and has been all season; we need a younger, innovative Play Caller that doesn't solely rely on Play Action; what happens when u can't run? You watching it unfold right before your very eyes...smdh
George picken too and Russell Wilson get rid of them
I think they should trade Pickens cause he's going to be gone after year 5. Get something for him.
I agree! Let Russ cook, and let the ball fly. So glad u said it. I'm thinking maybe the players had warm skin on, causing all the ball slips. I blame the play call from the coach coordinator. There are moments for JF to play in certain instances.
Y’all were trashing Fields and talking big about how Russ will lead you to the promise land. You guys are guaranteed one and done with Russ as the starter. Justin Fields would’ve helped you guys win the division.
Russ should have thrown the ball away on earlier down to save time on the clock
Man not just that one play you need to understand that no one can’t catch the football at all receiver sucks
@@Yawghlob put Fields in, at least he could run
Everyone’s got an excuse for Russ
@@toddaman2882 Behind this O-line? delulu
@@JackSlatersPontiacit’s just a revolving door of excuses one loss every game same cycle when Russ was beating up on awful teams he “truly unlocked this offense” now for 4 weeks straight the O line just decided there gonna suck now and receivers to gtfo😂
I totally agree with you. You're not an idiot. They definitely to throw the ball more. They need to get Justin Fields out there more but also the drops. Oh my gosh, it's all the time drops. I just couldn't believe with Patrick, friarmuth dropped that pass for the first down and a go ahead. Probably fuel goal to win the game. I also thought that we could either play the Texans or the Ravens. It all depends on how the chargers do
What makes you think we clock it in enough time if he does catch it? No way. Russ running and getting tackled in bounds killed that drive. He sucks.
For Steelers breaking news coverage all year round, make sure to turn on your notifications to never miss a big move by the Pittsburgh Steelers!
I blame everyone but the fans...these coaches are over thinking...
Also...Run the 2 min from the get....keep it moving fast all game...low and slow approach is not working...
George Pickens is an immature baby! Get rid of him!!
Russ isn’t the answer. If we pay him I swear I’m going to lose my shit. This franchise doesn’t have the direction. Russ needs to be benched
I hope for your sake and most Steelers fans, they trade him
They can't trade him. We're back to square one. We have no QB now. JF is not coming back.
Jack, you're probably not gonna read this but what I think needs to be said is last year the Steelers were 7 - 4 when Kenny Pickett got hurt. They lost that game so his QB record was 7 - 5. You consistently dogged him. Russ was 6 - 5 as a starter this year, ( with a better defense). As Mike Tomlin says, "their business is winning." Kenny was a young, developing QB who had a lot to learn about being an NFL QB but at least he was winning while he was learning and that's a good start. And for all the Mason Rudolph lovers, he's 1 - 4 as a starting QB this year. Kenny may not be a good fantasy QB, but he was winning games for the Steelers. I think the only real concern about Pickett is his ability to stay healthy and if that's really why we got rid of him for Justin Fields well at least that makes some sense. Short point 2, while our defense played better then they have been tonite, (in a bend don't break kind of way), the Bengals had 38 mins t.of p and went up down the field on us early. They need to find some pride and start hitting people out there. Finally, that was a team loss. Bring back Tomlin, bring back most the guys, but maybe a new offensive line coach and maybe a new defensive coordinator and offensive coordinator.
It's unbelievable that we ended up finishing with the same record as we had with Kenny Pickett,Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph. We also know there wont be "hell to pay" when Tomlin has another first round exit, Tomlin will never get fired and he is immune from any true criticism time after time.
Get rid of Mike Tomlin
Get rid of you
Do Something Mr Rooney !
pickins fumbled the game
You can't blame two drop passes out of four quarters.This was a total quarterback meltdown
He’s a Russell Wilson jockstrap sniffer I get it when Russ was playing great and being slandered but Russ has under performed ever since that first steeler game. And he won’t even give honest criticism of Russ it’s always the next guys issue when you can clearly see Russ just isn’t giving you enough we’re not even getting constant field goal drives atp we either score or 3 and out
George pickens gotta show more effort regardless of who is throwing the ball. But honestly we need to put in Justin fields and pass the ball, target the skys if he don't know what to do by now he will never know but he is the better qb overall
The annual Dec fade...a tradition as old as time...only exception is last year. Steelers will go nowhere beyond a "non-losing season" as long as Tomlin is in charge...
Arthur Smith absolutely is at fault. To be honest, we have good players but bad coaching and scheme on both sides of the ball.
Yes but our players needs to step up too. Mike needs to keep gp in check. We need a good o-line coaching
I blame terrible play calling and the dropped passes. I agree 100% with your assessment of the Steelers offense.
Did Pickens have $$ on this game?? Or is he trying to force his way out of Pittsburgh AB style?!? Do you think we could get a 2 and a 3 for Pickens or has his attitude killed his value??
No way he has that kinda value...lol
Fire Arthur Smith, fire Mike Tomlin. Enough said.
💯💯💯💯💯
How many NFL teams have been in the play-offs 4 of the last 5 years ?
My confidence level that they will win next week in the wildcard game is 50%
I agree with what all you said.
Turn Russ loose next week, he’s a veteran, let him call the plays.
No one needs to be fired. Who are we gonna replace them with??? Make them step up their game next year, hold them more accountable.
Wow 50% that’s amazing I say 10%
Way to much shit talkers on this team.
Facts: We have the talent for sure. it's the schematics on both sides of the ball. Coaching has been holding this team back for years. This OC doesn't play with 4 downs. In every series he has a throwaway down. When we pass to run we win.
I’m with you! The toss plays have yielded nothing all season, so why in the hell do we continue to run them?!?! Horribly frustrating
Fire Tomlin nothing else needs to be said.
Not him it's everyone on the team
@xzombie0678 tomlin said in the press conference that he is aware his starters aren't good and he knows some of his backups are better but still keeps starters
@Colton-j1wwhen?
@@LSM_rocket50 when the girl asked about fields and if he would start fields or wilson if you payed attention you would've seen that
@Colton-j1w ok ill check it out. I didn’t watch the press conference today because I didn’t want to think about the Steelers.
We looked so good with Warren catching passes against these guys last game… why not spread the field with Wilson and let Warren cut em up. I don’t get it
I get it; the Coaching staff didn't go back and look at the game from 5 weeks ago when we put up over 40 pts on the Bengals! We stink
@@lawrencesims7886
Tomlin needs to go away now !!!
We dont deserve playoffs, horrible start, need new coaching staff
This is why I love this channel
You have to let Russ throw the ball… ground and pound … pass to run correct…offensive line is shot…not tomlin this is on offensive aurthur smith…no excuses for aurthur/..
The Steelers have ZERO chance against The Ravens. I'd bet my biggest polyp.
I talked to people a few weeks ago telling me Pickens was a top 5 in the NFL right now. On what planet where are you now he had an amazing game yesterday 😂
WOW ! What can you say.. The team should not be playing again this year .. They have a flash , then its back to shit.. Nobody wants to watch that..
Tomlin needs fired for benching a young qb and going with a relic that was let go by his last two teams.
This dude lives Wilson and it is Wilson fault I seen open wr and he’s not seeing him so it’s not Arthur Smith fault either it’s Russ fault period he haven’t scored more then 17 points in last 3-4 games, our line is horrible yes but a lot is on Russ too that’s why we need Fields to start because he is built for this type of line and Wilson’s not but we all know Wilson isn’t going to get benched even tho he can’t score off the worse defense in the league so let that sink in, Wilson suck at everything else but the deep ball and our defense wasn’t that good either, the Bangles mess ups made our defense look good and the bangles only had chase and Joe on offense and they still won we suck period and Wilson sucks too Mr Wilson lover, if Fields loss 4 in a row you be saying bench him yall be hypocrites when it comes to our QBs
